well on monday thomas and i are off to mississippi with a relief team to help with the damage caused by hurricane francis. i am so glad that i get to do some hands on work to benefit this disaster. we are basically going to be cleaning the mud out of houses that were flooded. it's going to be hard work but so worth it. i am so excited to see how ( Read more... )

So the first week of school has come... and gone. I am excited about this semester. I know it will be a good one, although I already feel as though I am to busy. My parents have sort of decided to leave me on my own financially to see if I survive... gee thanks. But I think with a bit of penny pinching I can handle it. I knew that they couldnt ( Read more... )

So Thomas finally found a car today.... and boy did we work out a bargain. We talked them down from 4000 to 3000! Woot! We make a good team! So this whole helping to lead a youth group thing is pretty difficult. There are some pretty lost kids there (about 30 of them) who have no relationship with the Lord and from what it seems no desire for one. ( Read more... )

So i had a crazy week and a half. Probably one of the worst of my life. I wrecked Thomas' jeep... flipped it actually. I think it is totaled. It was the scariest thing ever. And I know for a fact that God was protecting me. I came out of it with a scratch on my toe. I should have been really hurt but I wasnt. So anyways, I started classes this week ( Read more... )

This summer has been a hard one but a good one... I say that like it's almost over or something. teehee!

I just can't quite figure it out.... Everyone (well the 3 friends I have in Tallahassee right now) Have all said that I seem sad lately. I know I haven't been feeling like myself but I can't figure out what it is. Maybe it is just that I am overwhelmed because I feel like real life is beginning for me. It's kind of hit me that from now on ( Read more... )

So Thomas and I visited a new church today that offered him a youth pastoring job. And I think everyone involved felt really good about it.... It's a pretty decent sized church about 15 miles outside of Tallahassee. We decided to go early and check out Sunday school. So we sat in on the middle school class. There were about 7 of them but ( Read more... )

I figured since it has been so long since I have really updated, i might as well spend my 15 minutes of free time doing just that. The past month or so has been pretty stressful. I am having such a hard time with the whole money thing. My parents paid for my dorm and food last year and now that I live off campus apparantly that is all my ( Read more... )
