JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!!!

OOOHHHH! I DO LOVE THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!
Everything about is just so wonderful, I mean getting gifts for everyone, families coming together, Christmas carols on the radio. Who cannot smile when all these things are in front of their eyes.
I have been thinking a lot lately about my attitude towards Christmas, I use to get extremely depressed because I was positive that I would not get any of the gifts that i really wanted from friends and family but I'm slowly throwing that attitude to the wind, this holiday is not about me right? It's about the birth of our Saviour, and that's all I need to be focusing on at this time.
Well I still have SO much shopping left to do so I better start working on my list, tootles!

Praise the Lord!!!!!
I am finally done with school, well for Christmas break :P , it feels like an enormous weight has lifted off my shoulders, I feel as if I am soaring ten feet above the ground! I just hope I don't hit a tree branch or anything lol lol lol hahahaha!! I definitely need to update more often, and now that I finally have a break from school I hope I will be able to.
Life seems to be passing me by at such a fast speed, my senior year will be over before I know it and I'm still not sure what I want to go to college for, if I even go to college, there are a lot of other things out there that interest me, like missions or just raising a family.
This Christmas I am going to give my parents devotional books for gifts, last year I gave them both bibles and they have never touched them. Oh well I just need to keep praying about this.
Better get to bed!

Wow! What an awesome Thanksgiving I had!
I have learned to appreciate my family more than ever!!! We had so much fun all together. The highlights were definitely beating Uncle Jim in the big poker game and having a mash-potato-food-fight with my cousins, and I can't forget the part where God really put a conviction on my heart to be more outgoing and encouraging! What awesome things we can do for Him, if we are yielded to His will!
Sorry most of my entries are closed to everyone except for me,... so I'll try to get more general entries to update with.

Oh the sweet bliss of nothing to do on a Saturday.
I am one of those people who do their homework all throughout the week so that when it comes to the weekend I'm as free as a bird. And it's so great because this weekend most of my friends are out of town, which leaves me a nice quiet time of reflection. More on what I reflect on later...

Sorry I haven't posted for a bit. Bt my senior year in high school is so busy! If it's not homework it's an afterschool activity, when does the storm stop??? lol. But Praise God that he finds me strong enough to bear this work load. And  I know He'll never give me more than I can handle!!
I wish I could think of something to write.... OH! I'm now helping in the Nursery at church! For someone who hasn't had a lot of experience with kids this is so new and exciting!!
Makes me wish I wasn't an only child, but that's okay.
See ya'll later!

I was in quite a struggle when I became a believer, I was in a bad relationship (even though I was only 13!) But God performed quite the miracle when He sent a friend into my life to ask me to start going to church. It wasn't long before I was drawn in by the fellowship of the younger teens and their willingness to accept and encourage me. What would have happened to me if I had continued down the path I was on?? Only God knows and that is why I am SOOO thankful that He has a plan for me!
