Paid in full...

it's finally warm!

let me just say that today was, by far, the most beautiful, warm day i have felt since i've been back from texas! the sun was shining and all was well! although i can't say i'm enjoying the bees being back... i am deathly afraid of flying things and while i was cutting flowers i happened upon a wasp nest. :o let's just say my flailing of arms while running back inside probably wasn't a pretty sight...

i know, i know... i haven't been on here in forever, and i don't really have any good reasons as to why, either.

so. update.

i just got back from texas 2 or 3 weeks ago... i came home the day my little sister left, so i haven't seen her in almost 2 months! she turned 13 on friday! i almost can't believe it. it really does feel like she's growing up just too fast!

                                                     

school has been... school. i have neverevereverever been more excited for school to be over. i don't usually get like this, but it's how i feel! i am looking forward to summer. a lot. i can't wait to sit on the beach. i can't wait to see my camp friends.

i just can't wait for sunshine!!

this past weekend some of the kids in our youth group went to harvest bible for a children's ministry training seminar and i gained quite a bit of knowledge on how to lead a child to Christ! it was also great to see some of my quizzing friends if just for a morning!

speaking of quizzing, our rally is next saturday!! :D super excited...

well, i had better got some sleep sometime :p.

keep smiling.

news...

this is my baby brother or sister!!

i found out that my dad and step mom were expecting in November, but i didn't really get around to telling anyone... i'm so excited to have a new sibling!

i can't explain how much i love this little guy (who i've affectionately named Ferdinand) even though i've never even met him. it's a weird yet beautiful feeling.

i pray for him a lot.

i pray that he'll be healthy and strong when he finally arrives in July.

i pray that he'll be surrounded by people who love him to death.

i pray that i'll be the best sister i can be and help him though every stage of his life.

and i pray that he'll grow up to know God and come to a point in his life when he can say that he has accepted Christ.


i love this kid.

cripple kid...

this has seriously become my new name at home and church. not that i really mind, but these crutches are getting old!

what happened, you ask?

i could make up a completely "cool" story to tell whenever one asks me , but sorry. it's really quite lame. i was doing a pretty impressive balancing act on an ottoman and it flipped and, well, so did i. the outcome was an extremely sprained ankle. but i came really close to hitting my head on the banister so it could have been much worse than it is. i'm taking painkillers and my foot must be wrapped up and braced for six weeks (it seems faaar to long to me...).

i'm very sure that in a few days i'll be off my crutches (that have been beautifully decorated with blue bows!) and be on my limping way...
