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.
And the winner is.... Lee Dewayze So as you can tell I am a big fanatic of American Idol and the finale was on last night. And Lee won which I am really happy about.One of the reason I liked him was that I felt he was very humble throughout the whole experience. He wanted to win and he knew he was good, but he didn't brag about it. So enough about American Idol I just wanted to say I was happy that he won. So for my Chicago missions trip that I am going on in a couple of weeks, we are going through this bible study called a love worth giving by Max Lucado and I did chapter 8 yesterday and it was really convicting. It was about anger and how anger comes from rejection. I never thought about that before but then he gave the example of Cain and Abel in Genesis and how Cain's offering was rejected by God and how that made Cain angry .. angry enough to kill. But the thing I have to remember is that being angry isn't a sin, God created that emotion its when we let Anger control u...
I know it has been a long time since I have written but like i have been saying in my last few posts, college has kept me busy and since I don't have homework tonight, I can come back and blog a little. I will just kinda update you whats going on in my life. Well lets see the semester is coming to an end wohoo!!! just one more week left and then next semester I won't have any more 8 o clock classes which will be SUPER nice. I am still trying to figure out if I am going to continue going to crown next year. I won't bore you with the details but I am possibly considering other schools so we will see. The title of the post just describes the story of my life haha, I have so many decisions to make like what classes to take next semester, what to do over christmas break (i got the opperutunity to go to IHOP (international house of prayer, a conference in Kansas city, Kansas) or stay home and go on a mini vacay with my family.) where to go to sc hool next year and who to be frie...
Every Monday and Wednesday I have a step aerobics class at North Hennepin. Its actually a lot of fun. But yesterday as i was doing the steps, I felt like in a way I can compare step to my walk with God. When I was doing step I felt like I was just going through the motions. Step up with right foot, step down with left.. and so on. Sometime my walk with God can feel like that. get up , go to school, come home, go to work, do homework, then quiet time with God, then get up the next day and do the same thing all over again. I felt like i was just going through the motions. Then I remembered that song by Matthew West " Going through the motions" Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of life I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day without Your all consuming passion inside of me God just reminded it doesn't have to be like that. Throughout the day we should always be thinking about him. Then my quiet time shoul...
