You know that scent that's left after a rain? I imagine that's what God smells like. It's almost like I can smell redemption in it. Clarity, freshness. I long for knowledge that I don't have. In Christ I must find my reliance, my trust, my ALL, before I go on to learn more of what is to come. I must persevere in my faith so that I may become mature ( Read more... )

54. That is the number of days I have left to call Savannah my home. Come May 1st I will be transported to Bowman, where I will stay until Snowbird/Mission Trip. We'll make trips a couple times a month back here to do mission meetings, but other than that... *sniffle*

0. That's the number of worries I have about moving. God's in control. I knew it ( Read more... )

I am officially DONE with high school for life. I received my certificate from the State of Georgia declaring that I had an equivalent of a high school graduate. Woo hoo. Now to make the next step: college ( Read more... )

Greetings my little ones. I am back on LiveJournal for good. I won't be posting that often, but yeah. I'll be back here to check on things every now and then. There's too much life to live right now to spend it on the computer. Even right now I'm cheating myself by staying indoors while it's beautiful outside ( Read more... )

6:17am. The familiar bleeping makes me sit up clumsily into the path of the laser projecting the time on the wall once again. I quickly lay back down and realize that in a few hours I'd be spending my last moments of high school sitting at a desk finishing my testing. The thought gives me motivation to stumble down the hall to the bathroom ( Read more... )

6:27AM my projection clock reads. I hear the bleeping of the alarm and sit up. The red laser is in my eye. "I don't want to get up." I say aloud. But I get up anyway, I have to if I want to be done with high school. "2 years of prep boils down to this," I thought as I stumbled out to the bathroom. "Let's make this count ( Read more... )

So we're in Bowman once again. Dylan and I just got in from a trek down to the creek, some football, a couple of remote control car time trials, and feeding things through a chipper. Pretty good for a Saturday before 1pm. Need lunch still though. I hunger ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, I ate so stinking much on Thanksgiving. Not like "My stomach hurts.." but more like "OH MY GOD I THINK I'M GOING TO BLOW." It was extremely scrumptulescent thanks to my grandmother who spent like four million hours preparing the meals and stuff. So yeah, my stomach'll prolly splode before too long ( Read more... )

The principal came into the room and looked at each of us. His southern drawl echoed around the room, "We all have one thing in common in this class." He paused dramatically and slowly gazed at all of us. "We've all screwed up." Some people looked down, others just fiddled with the Number 2 pencils that the proctor had handed upon our arrival. "For ( Read more... )

Time for an exuberantly happy entry. YAY! I am extremely happy. I feel like a dainty fairy running through the grass fields in the sun's basking warmth. "Go get me some hot coco peasant." Ah, yes. It is good to be royalty. "MUSIC!" My minstril appears. He is the best minstril this side of Rotten Eggliind. He plays me a grand ol' song from long long ( Read more... )
