: ) "...I'm happy with the life I'm living now, and I'm on my way to my home above..."

I am so happy to yet be saved!!! I did graduate this spring from high school and decided to continue my college through the summer. I have just about finished this semester, and it has gone pretty good over all, but Only because God has been with me!! I had physics, calculus II, and Theatre Appreciation, all of which did not turn out to be so easy over the summer, figures though right? lol BUT the awesome thing is, although God has aways been so good to me, it seems God has been especially great to me here lately!!! The Church services have been extra amazing and it is simply because God Is Still Doing Great Things!!! I am just overflowing in my soul!! Praise the Lord- He is so worthy!!! I have also been thinking a whole lot lately and reminiscing about how much things have changed. Praise God the gospel has Not changed, but is the same as I have always heard it! God is still moving, answering prayer, healing, saving, sanctifing, and keeping His saints in Unity! Praise the Lord. But what has changed is people, though certainly not all change is bad, alot of change is just normal as we mature. But I am just so, so, so thankful that out of all that has changed- my desire to serve God has not changed at all! But increases as time goes on! I know salvation is the most precious gift, and it always amazes me how saints of all ages can enjoy salvation just as much the same!!! By far the more an individual puts into the things of God the more they will get out of them!! And whatever we give up for God, He will reward us for it! "God is a rewarder of those who Diligently seek Him." We must seek sometimes, but God will reward us! We can't just sit around we must have an experiance to benefit! And one other thing, I have had to realize that influence is very strong, and some people could be on their way out, so we must be careful who we hang around. But as I said before whatever we give up for God, He will reward us for it and this applies if we need to give up friendships. But praise God, There are a lot of people doing things right, not near the edge, but giving their all to God, staying consecrated, and dying daily- keeping their flesh under! Stay Encouraged Everybody- God loves you and wants you to stay encouraged, and I do too! :)

Graduation 2008

Although I am in college, I have still not graduated from highschool yet. I have been enjoying the wonderful dual enrollment program. A few of my friends and I are graduating this year! I am very excited, but I think I have senioritis. Although I have worked very hard so I could participate in graduation a year early, I feel this will be such a big step for me that I don't know if I want to cross it. I do want to take it, but I am just enjoying my life a whole lot right now! It's not that my life will change so much after graduation, but I have a lot of college done, so life will probably move faster for me then most high school graduates. Good Luck to everyone who will still be in high school or dual enrollment for a few more years!! I really enjoyed the whole experiance after I learned I just had to do it, and that it would be good for me! School has really helped to mature me, like nothing else could have, and God has helped me through school and to stay humble.

White water rafting

Guesss what my first time to go white water rafting was friday. It was a blast, anything is a blast when you get to hang out with your friends!!! We were going down a rapid and the raft went way down on my side before i had a chance to grap the rope and i fell out. I was kind of nervous and kept fighting the current, but after about 10 sec.s I decided there is no way to fight the current just enjoy it. So I had a blast floating along through the rapids while the people in the raft had to fight and paddle really had to get through them. lol

summer school

I try not to talk a lot about school because i dont want to bore yall. But i took 3 summer classes eng 102(last english i have to have for my degree, besides lit), his 201 (us history), and math 112(pre calculus). I am planning to go to school for a machanical engineering degree. I have already had two exams in history one was today. One exam in math so far and english has not started yet, but is about to. Anyways I just thought i would update and say something, I hope i did not bother yall with all the gruesome details. I want to update more, but... I will tell yall something i am really good at. Im like so good at it, it just comes natural. Like im awesome at it. That is procrastinating, but i can discipline my self if it becomes neccesarry in the plan of life to achive a goal and accomplish a purpose that i have devoted my will to reach and set all hope on getting there.
