MOVING DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow im so tired its been a really long day and we still havent gotten everything moved yet.. but i love our new house and tonight will be our first night in it!

tomorrow i'm leaving for Florida with my mom because my grandfather died a few days ago, but its better this way he's not in pain anymore and we got to see him when he was well in January which im really thankful for!

We'll come back wednesday and then Saturday my mom and I leave again for New Orleans for a week! i'm looking forward to a relaxing end of July...

. there should be smilies for :pensive: and :thankful: and :nostalgic:

God let me find my purity ring tonight- i couldn't believe it! I've lost it for probably about a year now and I thought it had gone down the drain or something, since I used to take it off to wash my hands. So I was just soo excited because my parents had given it to me for my birthday last year and I got it engraved so it was really special to me. And this year I got another cheaper one in January that's like an unblossomed rose because that's who I want to be, and in a way I had recommited myself to waiting and keeping myself pure for my husband and God's just done so much in my life. Also i thought it was kinda funny that I had gotten mine last year like a week before my birthday and I found it exactly a week before my birthday this year. I'm pretty sure it was a God thing.

Another thing that was cool tonight was that since we're moving this month I started trying to go through my stuff and I was looking through some old letters and cards, and it was just sooo special to read old letters from a few of my really good friends and friends that I met at camps and such that I've long since gotten out of touch with and reading about things that were going on in their lives then. It was so cool and a lot of them were really encouraging too, which was what I needed tonight. It's amazing how much people can affect your lives and make an impact by what they say and do even years down the road! I love all the ways that God chooses to speak to us, He's SO good.
Sometimes I wish I could go back a few years and relive my childhood, this time appreciating everything so much more than I probably did then. And then I wish that I had/hadn't done some things, but that's childish because even though not everything may have been according to God's best interest for me, He brought good out of everything and it's made me who I am, even though I feel like becoming who God wants me to be is trying to put together one big huge confusing puzzle that's missing a lot of pieces that I have to look and work hard to find.

Well, every day is an adventure with God. I don't want things to change, but as Meghan has been reminding herself recently, resisting change is resisting what God would have for your life. I guess that's true, so I can just try to discover who God wants me to be and how to deal and make the best out of change, and how to live for and serve Him to the best of my ability. A noble quest, is it not?

So even though I'll never be able to be a little girl again, I can always keep that joy and innocence in my life and in my character that people have always said that I had/have, and use God's joy and love to reach out to others and care for people in the way that I believe God has planned for me to do.

this was probably really boring but I needed to share my thoughts!

oh p.s. I went tubing/water skiing today with my friend and it was a lot of fun! thank God for beautiful weather this whole weekend!

p.p.s The ball on Saturday at Hagley was great and it was awesome seeing everyone! I'll try to post a few pictures soon

soo... i have once again failed to update my xanga on a periodical basis. oh well. a few thoughts/facts for the day:

1) California was amazing!!! I really hope that God works it out for me to go to Biola University because I really loved it out there and I loved the school, but of course that's completely up to Him and I'm glad it's not my decision to make!

2) I finished school for the summer last Tuesday (soo exciting!!) but now I'm just umm slowly trying to finish my ball dress for the Hagley ball this weekend, and helping my friend Hadley make one too. The bodice is not working out though, so once I finish the skirt, I may just start over and use a different pattern that I'm used to! So we'll see what happens

3) Working at Starbucks has been a lot of fun!! It has been a looot of training so far, including reading like 4 manuals, but hey I'm really enjoying it and I love the people I work with! (I am trying to cut down on the caffeine/sugar though, so it can be a challenge at times haha..)

4) GOD IS GOOD!!
no He really is.. He's helped me learn so much recently and just really try and stay focused and grow in Him!! My life is soo great because of Him and I have so much to be thankful for!!

Ok well I have to run and sew before I go help out at the afterschool program and whatnot...
Hopefully I'll get better at updating more often

Have a fabulous day everyone!!

Heyy everyone hows it goin?? I know its been forever since I posted so i guess i'll update a little bit now. LIfe has been relatively good, besides the fact that my 3 classes at del tech and working more and playing a lot of piano (including multiple trips up to wilmington... booooring by urself!! lol but nice when its amazing weather outside and you can sing worship songs at the top of your lungs and no one will hear you haha :)) plus trying to keep up with my social life and church/young life have been kind of overwhelming and insane but great!! I love being busy though, and it helps a lot when i give everything up to God and just let him control it all!!
So yeah thats about it except for that i've been getting to know a lot more awesome people recently which is really fun and growing closer to God through many of my friendships!!! Oh and for all you who haven't heard I'm going out to california next month!!! im soo psyched i bought my plane ticket the other day and as it turns out i'll be staying like 5 days, since i'm gonna visit 2 colleges now instead of 1. My mom when to a conference recently and met a lady who lives out there and her daughter (who's my age and her name is katie haha) is looking at the colleges i'm looking at out there too. So they're gonna pick me up from the airport and take me to look at Azusa for a couple of days, and then they'll drop me off at the airport again to meet with the other kids who are going to stay at Biola for the weekend (its a special visit weekend thing). and then i'll get back late sunday night.. and then it'll be back to class bright and early monday morning!! :) But so thats exciting and i'll get to audition at both schools in piano while i'm there, and i'll also probably get to see my friend Christi who i met at the Civil War girl's school in TN like 2 years ago since she goes to school out there.
I'm also trying to figure out what to do this summer- I'll probably end up working most of it (either as a lifegaurd or at the cafe where I'm at now) but my cousins are coming over from france and germany for a couple weeks, and i might to go a Summit Conference in TN. (They last 2 weeks and you hear lectures on a ton of different things... it helps you learn a lot a grow a lot closer to God so it sounds really awesome!! :) But anyways its all in God's hands and I know that he'll guide me in the right direction in what he wants me to do.
K well i'll try to write more often but now its back to my super long history paper ugh lol

Love you guys!!!

I LOVEEE THE NEW PRIDE AND PREJUDICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to say that it seriously comes VERY close to being as good as the BBC series, which I loveeee, but we'll just say that it's the best in its own category as a 2 hr 15 min version! lol Everyone HAS to go see it!!
