La la la!!!

 haha, i am not doing so great at checking this

so life has been changing quite a bit... i no longer work at the U.S. Bank because they were not working with my schedule at all. I am going to a Bible Quiz Nationals next week and they weren't too thrilled with that. so ya, that's kind of strange not to be working there. I kinda feel bad. We have a small branch and so when someone leaves or is on vacation, everyone else has to change their schedules to make up for the person not there... how can i not feel guilty?? even if just some what?? lol.

but yep, so then, as i mentioned before, i'm going to zambia, africa this summer. i'm pretty excited! i still have some money left to raise, but i believe that if God really wants me to go, then i will raise all the money i need, down to the last penny! *smile*

so anywho, hope you all have an awesome day!! God bless!! ~Heidi

Haha....

Hehe... so i'll figure out a way to make it so that I will update more often... I just haven't figured out how to do that QUITE yet :D

So a bunch has happened lately.... a lot. I made it to Nationals with the Teens for Christ Bible Quizzing, so basically that made me extremely happy!! And another HUGE thing... my mom and dad gave me permission to go on a missions trip this summer... to Zambia, Africa!! I'll be gone from June 9th to July 31st. One of my friends will be going as well, so that will be awesome! And its pretty sure I'll be going... all I need to do is raise all the money, but I believe that if God really wants me to go then I will be able to raise all the money (God has plenty of money! hehe) In Zambia, we would be helping AIDS orphans. We'd wash their feet and then give them socks and shoes, and we'd be doing puppetry and singing and dramas and everything, basically it will be amazing! so i am very much so looking forward to that! So that is a VERY big thing that will be going on... hmm...

school's been going good. Nothing too exciting to share. (or at least nothing any of you would find exciting :P) haha. so yep... I could go on and on and on about what has been going on, but i have homework and such to do before i go to work. Have a splendid day!! God bless! ~Heidi

bad days....

Hey!! Haha... ya, it's been a long time... I know *smile* HAPPY NEW YEAR! lol

Don't you just hate bad days... but at the same time its sometimes a relief to have a bad day instead of always feeling like you have to have perfect days all the time? Ok... haha, so if you don't ever feel that way, I do! :P Today was one of those days. I just must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed or something. So I went to church and talked to some people from Missouri (who were really nice and awesome!) but I just wanted to scream at something (I wasn't mad at any certain person, just mad! lol, does anyone else ever feel that way?) but everyone else seemed happy and I HATE ruining other people's days! Lol. So then I went home and my mom asked me to clean my room, and then she started saying that I never do anything she asks me to do, and that got me even more mad because I had just cleaned the entire kitchen for her the day before and she hadn't said anything about it.

Sometimes I get tired of hearing people only tell me what I need to do better at instead of what I do right and good. Sometimes I just need someone to encourage me! and today was one of those days! And yet all my mom did was say that i NEVER do ANYTHING she says.... (she was tired too *smile*) and so i reminded her that I had just cleaned the kitchen and she got mad and was like, "You know what? NEver Mind! I'm going to take a nap... I'm tired of this!" And I couldn't figure out why SHE was mad... so that just got  it worse.

So I was feeling like I was about to bite someone's head off (lol) and i was thinking that if anyone called or stopped by at that moment i felt bad for them (haha, so not that i'd yell at them or anything, i just may not be too exciting or fun to talk to :P) and right then elizabeth fahs stopped by. Haha. great. But she was soooo nice and she did encourage me and it was sooo nice! But then, of course, she could only stay a little bit and then she had to leave *sigh* and I was getting tired of being at home and I was afraid I would just make my parents more mad by saying something wrong when I was mad, so I told them I'd be back in an hour and half and then I just left (they gave me permission)

So I went to Caribou Coffee and did my devotions. It was wonderful! HAha... though what I read about was Jesus telling the Pharisee's that they praise Him with their lips but not their hearts, and then He went on to say that we like to change His law into something that (I believe this was all in MArk 7, its good!) and how we dishonor our parents and such, and that just hit the spot because I hadn't been the nicest to my mom. I hadn't yelled, but I had honored her in what I said, so I knew that I had to say sorry. So after my coffee and then stopping at the church to pick up something that I needed, I went home and talked to my mom, and you know what? Now I feel TONS better :D God is pretty amazing! I thank Him for wonderful friends and awesome parents! *Smile*

haha, so thats my story about today... no one needs to read this... I just had to ramble on about it on something *smile*

she's alive!!!

that's right, folks! I, Heidi, am still living and breathing!!  Haha, its been awhile though since i've been on xanga. lol. lots has been going on. i have already registered at the college for next semesters classes. i'm taking the next comp. class and the next spanish class, and then two phy. ed. classes (its the one thing that i still need to take for highschool, lol, i kept putting it off) but one of the classes for p.e. doesnt start until march 12 and its only on mondays and wednesdays.

i've been realizing lately how FAST time flies! gracious, in only a year and a half, i will be out of highschool (and i'll be in college as an actual college student, not just PSEO, teehee). only a year and a half to live with my family. then i'll be out of the house! goodness, and here i am wishing i was older.... at school i used to feel a little embarressed to say that i'm only 16, but now i can say it loud and clear. i mean, i'll never be able to be sixteen again! i will eventually get older and such, but i will never again be able to be sixteen, so why do i keep wishing that i was older?! haha... ya, so thats basically what i've been thinking lately... or one of the things... *smile*

i'm also really happy because i found out that two more people that i know are Christians!!!!!! YAY!! that ALWAYS makes me happy, and it will never stop making me happy .

so yep... tons has been going on in my life, but too much to write about *teehee* plus no one would really read it anyway, (which doesnt matter to me, haha). anywho, have a FABULOUS day!! God bless! Remember to shine His light everywhere you go!! ~Heidi
