Live, Love, Laugh, Pray, Dance, Sing, Be yourself!

This is my motto for life. It is a good reminder to always be yourself and always be who you want to be.

Cubbies

I have been teaching "my" cubbies about the 7 days of creation. It has really opened my eyes to how great our God is and what amazing power He has.

Sibling Fun!

I am so Glad the twins are home. They are doing great and I have a great relationship with both of them, but specifically with J, our personalities and mannerisms help us get along really well. I am so thankful that the twins were able to come home before the earthquake. Praying for those families whose children are still in Haiti.

As I sat in study hall yesterday surrounded by friends who care about me I was reminded how much God loves me. About a year ago I started attending the school I now attend, I was scared to death and truly did not understand how this could be best for me. I couldn't imagine my life with any other kind of school in it, but now I can't imagine life without school in it. School is my life, but it is worth it and I love it. So as I was sitting in study hall surrounded by my friends I started thinking about how a year ago I was wondering where God was, why I was all alone in the world, why no one cared about me etc. I have grown so much in the last year, God has used a lot of hard things to draw me to himself. I am so thankful for my friends and for the contentment I feel in my life today. I was really touched by one of my really really good friends who really followed the biblical principles of a friend yesterday and let me cry yesterday, listened to me talk about Haiti for an hour, and actually cried with me. She prayed with me and for me and really reached out and touched my heart. I am so thankful for her influence on my life. God is so good to provide friends who are different enough to enjoy yet similar enough to encourage each other. My good friend and I have a Bible study that we do every week. It is so good for me to have that accountability and be able to share anything with her.

My heart hurts for Haiti

I am sitting here and supposed to be doing school but every site has something about Haiti and the devastation there. My heart hurts for them esp. when I asked skittle what he wanted to do and he replied "Go to Haiti and see what is going on." Me too buddy, Me too. It makes one question and makes on pray. It is so very sad. Please take some time to pray about this today.
