| So this has taken a bit longer to actually do...but i'm trying...Ok so here's the deal...i've been pretty busy (gotta make those Money$) haha...actually i really do need to make money this summer because it's only after i'll have made about $900 that i'll begin actually making money...you see i sponsor 2 Compassion Children and this sake quite a bit of money to be able to sponsor them for a year and then I also plan on giving a sum to help build a church in Batawata (spelling? eh whatev) India. So yeah...i've been busy none-the-less...
On to business...i know you're all expecting some crazy awesome pictures from the beach right? Well i don't have em...yep that's right you heard the disappointment here first...you see i happen to have a brand new camera...that + sand = me not happy....so i decided to 86 the camera while we were on the beach....but none-the-less it was a great time by all...we (Tiff, Destiny, Whitlee, and Lee +Me) saw dolphins in the ocean...yep right close to us about 20 ft away from us. Right smack dab in the middle of Galveston...and there they were. Yeah i'm over it.
I recently went to my friend's birthday party (i work with her at Dad and Shan's store) and it was a "Hobo" themed party which is pretty awesome! I'll put up 2 pics from that...but yeah one is of her and she's dressed like a hobo with her "Bottle" which is actually sparkling red grape juice (you see she's in recovery because she's an alcoholic but don't worry she's been sober for like 2 years...so don't be fooled by the paper bag! Ha you have absolutely no idea what i've typed here! Riiight...so and the other is just a picture of here and I...yeah game over!
 
Right so this upcoming Sunday Mr. David "Keas" Keasler, my Spiritual Father or sorts and mentor also my ex-youth pastor and still best friend is going to be ordained (i'm not quite sure as what or how because the day after is when he leaves for Seminary and i thought you had to go through seminary to get ordained but whatever...) and the ordination (i'm still unsure whether or not this is a word but if it's not i've invented it and it's in honor of Keas' ceremony) happens to be in Miami, FL. I'm going! Woot! The cool thing about me going is that i also have another friend, Brent Spead, who lives there and since Keas is leaving on Monday (the day after the ceremony) i'm hanging out with Brent...the cool thing is i'm not leaving until Thursday morning which happens to be the 5th...this also happens to mean that this year I will get to celebrate my "favorite" holiday (not) in Miami, FL. I could honestly care less about the 4th of July but i'm really pumped about celebrating in Miami...i dunno...so yeah.....this is good...i hope that you'll pray that i'll really encounter God through the beauty of the beaches (hopefully i'll be able to post some pics when i get back that will share the beauty of the atlantic (i think Miami is on the Atlantic and not the Gulf) with you! God's creation is sooo pretty...ahh...
Recently I've begun to attempt to seek more desperately after Christ. I'm very unhappy with the way that American Christians (and especially myself) act. We take so much for granted...I'm also sick of just merely believing in Jesus Christ...like believing is good and all but if that's all you do then i suggest that you chiggity check out James 2:19 (i couldn't get that stupid markthrough to shut off..so there you have it)...but back to my ranting... Jesus never said "Believe in me." nah Jesus was a straight shooter and told it like it is check out Matthew 4 when Jesus calls Simon (called Peter) and Andrew and then the 2 sons of Zebedee (i don't remember their names) and Jesus never said "Come, believe in me"...no no no He said, "Come, follow me." I think this is key. We need to not merely believe and think/do the right things but rather we need to LIVE like Christ. We are the tools that God uses in order to reconcile the Earth and everything on it back to Him. We are Kingdom Agents who are called to brings God's Kingdom here "On earth as it is in Heaven" ya know? I don't want to just talk about God on Sundays for 1 maybe 2 hours but man i want to LIVE for God. I can't exactly think of where but i'm pretty sure it's in the Gospels where it say "Out of the mouth is the overflow of the heart or something...hold on i'll look it up...Word it's Matthew 12:34 and Luke 6:45 and it says "Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks." I want God's scripture to be written on my heart and in my mind...I want to be like what the author of Hebrews is talking about in chapter 8 verse :10...where it says "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts." I want God to be flowing out of me. Do you know how good it is to speak to the "rare" person that always seems to ask What God's doing in your life or how God's working in your life? Why is that so rare? Why isn't it more frequent? Why don't we ourselves ask the same simple questions to those we are in contact with? I have all of these questions...ahh...well i'm done complaining/ranting for right now but i do have one request and that is that you would Colossians 4:4. (that's right suckas you've got to snag up your word to figure out what my request is....thanks for all the love and prayers!)
Also one more quick thing...why is it that we (yeah you too! and don't even trip and act like i didn't say we, i.e. including myself first and foremost) sometimes only read our Bibles once a day like that's good enough? Like it's just another daily quota to fill...man if we're living out 2 of my favorite verses Philippians 3:16 and Jeremiah 29:13 (no not 11 but 13) then we should really be reading our Bibles like...i dunno all the time....I mean if we're in love with God like we say we are then why aren't we reading our words to draw closer and nearer to Him? These are just thoughts...but i would encourage you to read your bibles everyday and not just because it's the good "christian" thing to do but rather because you are head-over-heels in love with the Creator of the Universe and you can't wait to learn something new about your 1st love today!
Ok i know your eyes are tired but i promise i'll be done soon! This is the last thing. I'm really struggling with praying right now because recently i realized that i don't have anywhere close to the relationship with God that i want right now and part of that is because our communication sucks (that's my fault!) and so i'm attempting to pray anytime i remember and to act as if we're new friends still discovering new things out about eachother so i'm telling God all kinds of stuff and just things about my day andhow it went....well i'm really attempting to build that up because i really would like to hear back from God as well whether during prayer or meditation (i'm gonna start working on that once i get prayer under my belt good and tight!) So i'm asking you to pray one more thing! Will you pray for my prayer life because i've heard it said that "Your prayer life is your spiritual life" and if that's the case i've got nowhere to go but up! So please please plead and pray for my prayer life with God...i'd really appreciate it because it's something that i'm wrestling with! Thanks!

Me and Ms. Maggie in the limo. (She made her dress, my vest, and my tie!)
A little "Belle" from Beauty and the "Best"...hrm...Beast...if you will
A little "Limo" for ya!
Now it wouldn't be Disney without a little royalty now would it? Yes Maggie and I won Prom Kind and Queen! It was probrably on of the best days of my life so far! It had been sooo stressful leading up to it but when the night finally came it was PHENOMENAL! I wish i could of shared it with everyone! During our limo ride we had a tour of D.C. so we decided to stop and take pictures with the monuments... that was pretty sweet!
Also after our tour we ate at Charlie Palmer's on Capitol Hill! When we were walking in we were stopped by the Secret Service and we had to wait for the Austrailian Prime Minister to be seated before us...it was pretty sweet! I can't lie....oh here's a picture i took of maggie on a fountain in front of the capitol and where we ate is just to the right in the picture (You can't see it though.)
 aww crap...you can't see the Capitol...wait i'll post another that has our entire group so that you can see the capitol....we felt very blessed to be taking pictures there because not many people get to take their senior prom pictures in front of the nations capitol...it was a Godsend of a night...there was much prayer from me and maggie that the night would go well and it was a night described by one word...grace.
Oh...here's one in front of the Jefferson Memorial!
I miss and love you guys!
I'll try to update when i can...oh and i won the district track meet in the High Jump...i'll update again soon to let you know how i do in the Region and then again in the state.

| I'm updating! YAY!Hello all! I'm really sorry that i haven't written in a while but here's what's going on!
High school is ok. I don't really like but whatev. Went to Georgetown today with my mother and Maggie! They both are friggin ridiculously awesome! Word. Prom May 13 and Graduation June 17. Hope you can be here for the second one! I'm very excited about the upcoming events in my life. The last quarter of my high school career is about 4 days from the start. I'm so ready to be out of high school!
This ^ is me and Ms. Maggie! I can't wait for those of you who haven't met her to meet her. I'm keeping this one around for as long as she'll have me. (oh and by the way this picture was totally not even scripted. She said let's take a picture and so we both "trying to be funny" did the whole "check me out" face and thus the results.)
Colege is coming around the corner! OK so it's actually spelled colledge! So yes colledge...ok ok ok OK! It's spelled college i know! So yes college is coming up soon and Hopefully i'll be attending Eastern University (Maggie's actually going there too!) and i'll be having the best time of my life studying Missions and Anthropology! Pray that this happens for me please. I know if it's in God's will it will all work out!
Nick is listening to Song of the South (Sweet Potatoe pie and i shut my mouth) and he's pounding his foot on the ground like a "honky" and i can't see him but i sure can hear that. Mom just claimed that "It appears to me that Nick has no rythm." so as a rebuttle nick stopped stomping the ground and started to whistle to spite her! They're freaking great!
J.Bizzle Ya'll | | |
| AHH!I'm soo sick and tired of high school...there is no motivation at ALL! I got into the college's i applied to and now I am simply waiting to hopefully find out if i can attend Eastern University...!
I can't believe that one person can make you so angry...like just totally piss you off and they don't have to say one word to you...their very presence is annoying and detestable...God loves them...i wish i could see like him....
