I've realized that I haven't written in a while and I know its already Wednesday but I'm just going to share my weekend in pictures. Hope that's ok. Thursday was shopping day. Melodie and I went to Rosedale mall to go shopping and I must say I was super excited because not only did I get to hang with melodie whom I haven't seen in a LONG time but I also found some good deals. ( Btw that dress I didnt get but I liked it alot.)
Saturday- This is Kassie. It was her 18th birthday on Saturday so she went to get her nose pierced. And she invited me to go with. She went to St. Sabrinas in uptown.
Sunday- It was fourth of july. We went out to Delano for the parade and a barbecue. Unfortnatley I didn't get any picture because I forgot my camera but I did get pictures later that night when we did fireworks with my neighbors. I'm on the left, then its my neighbor Lola and my sister Abbey on the right.

Monday- my sisters and my parents and I drove out to Taylor Falls where we went on alpine slides at Wild Mountain.
Hope you guys are having a good Wednesday. I'm off to go play softball and tomorrow or Friday I'll be back to talk about talk about some stuff I've been learning from this book I've been reading.
This song is so good and convicting. Its Keep changing the World by Mikeschair Lyrics: Something here is wrong There are children without homes But we just move along to take care of our own There's so much suffering just outside our door A cry so deafening We just can't ignore To all the people who are fighting for the broken All the people who keep holding on to love All the people who are reaching for the lonely Keep changing the world Take a look around Before the sun goes out What's lost can still be found It's not too late now It only takes one spark to make the fire burn So reach inside your heart and let this be the start Chorus I know you see the suffering How they gone recover when people just look over like they don't even notice them Everyone whose focusing on ending all this hopelessness You can change the world by changing who the world is hoping in I see the sun coming up It's a brighter day Let's show the world that love is a better way So le...
Today was my last day at my job. I was a long term sub in second grade. What was great about this job was that I was able to work to with small groups of students in the morning and teach second grade in the afternoon. If you don't remember this is at the same school I was a long term sub in first grade. They asked me to come back to teach second grade. In the above picture, this was my group of students on the field trip to underwater world. The fact that I made it through this job with his strength and grace is a testament to his faithfulness. This job stretched me beyond what I thought I "could handle." Man did I need to rely on Him everyday. My drive to work everyday consisted of prayers of grace for the students and patience for the ones that are the hardest to love... sometimes it seemed they were all diffcult to love, I saw so much attitude and disrespect. I was shocked.There was even a lack of support from the other second grade teachers. But if you think ab...
As everyone knows Christmas is coming up and i am one of the people who the day after thanksgiving pulled out the Christmas music because I love Christmas. And at times during the Christmas season I would become greedy and think about what presents and wonder what other people got me but those were the times when I had to step back and remember Jesus is the reason for the season. Without him we wouldn't be able to live because like Romans 6:23 says " For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And so today I just want to share one of my new favorite christmas songs. Its called Sweet Little Jesus boy by Rebecca St. James. This song helped me see that I need to be thankful that I know Jesus as my Lord .
I LOVE trying on fun dresses like that--and that one is super cute on you, by the way!
