So i am finally updating. (:

Umm alot has been going on in the past week... God has blessed me with a new friend who i can share my testomony with and help her. And its nice to be able to use what i have gone through and the choices i have made to help someone else. And the funny thing is my relationship with God is getting stronger, she is helping me as much as I am helping her.. telling her why i changed my ways reminds me of how much i LOVE my life now, and how GREAT our God is, and how much i dont ever want to go back to the past. Its a great feeling, and I am very excited to see what God has instore for this person. (:

Umm other than that, I would really like to talk about how amazing miss Danica Overton is. She is such an amazing Worship leader. It gives me chills when i see her on stage glorifying the Lord. I'm so proud of her. She has grown so much over the past year with her music, and I couldnt be more excited for her, and what opportunities she will have in her life. I am truely inspired by her.

Okay thats all. I hope everyone had a great Christmas! here are some pictures from mine.

So i haven't updated this in a long time, so i thought today would be a great day to do so. Umm. alot has been happening over here. and not all good things, but just challenging things. My brother comes home from the hospital today, and he's going to be living with us for a while. I kind of have mixed emotions about it, I want to be really supportive of him right now and of my mom, but at the same time I am kind of afraid that it will be like it used to be. :( But I have so many people supporting me, and helping me through this that it is amazing, i feel so blessed by God right now with all the support ive gotten from Alyssa and Emily. They really have helped me so much this past week. Thank you guys.

But on a happier and lighter note.. I have discovered somethings this past weekend. I went to Stockton to go to a ball with my bestfriend and her family, and i really realized that I am so happy here. I used to miss my old life in Stockton and my friends that I have there, and not saying that I still dont, but God has blessed me with so much here in Clovis. It is wierd I walked into my old life this past weekend, and it was almost as if I didnt belong anymore, that I know better this time. It was a really great expierence, and I will forever love those people, but it isn't my "home" anymore. Clovis is. :)

and more pictures. :)

So this is me updating my post...i kinda just wanted to put pictures on because i feel that i dont have much to talk about ...so here it goes. lol.

I feel as though God is challenging me everyday to be the best I can be. It's funny to me how I can feel what God is telling me to do, and yet still oppose it. I have had to realize some things lately, first of all, letting things go is a huge task for me. If someone doesn't do exactly what I think they are capable, it has nothing to do with me. I am called to love everybody, and that is what I strive too. I got in an argument with someone yesterday, and I finally realized what Michelle was saying at biblestudy. I can finally accept that we aren't going to get along right then, and not being angry about it, and more importantly LET IT GO. I can wait for God to give me an opportunity to speak to this person. I am finally listening to what God is telling me to do, and it feels amazing. :)

So Wednesday night was an all Worship night at the church. It was amazing. There were so many thoughts going through my head the entire night, first of all, I was so proud of Danica! She was so great. I love watching her play the guitar, and to sing. She did such a great job. Secondly, my friend Brooke came, and brought her boyfriend Joel. I was So impressed with them. It was amazing to watch as God was working through them. It was so encouraging, and now I love the talks we have about it, and to hear the impact that it made on her life. She said that she will continue to go! :) thirdly I loved the speakers. Ryan did an amazing job, I love when he talks about stuff that everybody is thinking. That we are a great diversity, and we are all put there to help one another. And Hopper who lead the amazing prayer at the end. It really made me feel so excited and so happy to have that many people stand up. And then to have people pray around them. It was just an unbelievable feeling. The entire night was a success!

Well its Tuesday, and i get to go home early, which makes me really happy, but i have to go to work in an hour. :(
Anyways. I went to see miss Natalie Hill this weekend. It was fun. We got to see the campus she goes to, and got to hang out with all of her friends. They were such nice christian people. It really made me happy that she has found that group of friends down there. (oops its not down its up!) lol. I was really proud of myself for not driving through the grapevine, but then again I had Karen there to help me. It was a fun trip. I am glad I went.

Oh and Ps. this is a picture from CIY. I love it. And I love these girls! I cant wait for next years CIY! Im super super excited.

So I am going to visit Natalie Hill tomorrow with Karen Pitman. I think it will be super exciting. but at the same time the drive sounds dreadful. plus i suck at directions, i hope karen will be better than me. Keep us in your prayers this weekend, to have a safe trip. :)

I love you all.

So I finally understand this! Thank you Alyssa. I really hope that all the girls will get on this. It would be so great to talk to you guys outside of biblestudy, so you guys should all get one. :)
