| Summery days.So these last few months/days have been nothing short from amazing.
God has been doing so much in my life and has made me grow more and more in my faith in Him, and I want it to continue and to never ever stop.
I've done a lot of new things and I've just felt as though I've grown a few years in just these few months, I've been learning so much about things, and been feeling so close to God and the plan He has for me.
I've been reading through the Epistles these past couple weeks and I've just gotten so much out of it, it's almost as though I've never read them before, even though I have... Its just like I have a new understanding of what it all means to me, perhaps because I've grown more and I'm in a different stage in my life that I wasn't before.
Either way, God has been great to me, I'm simply amazed at all He's been doing in and around my life.
The one thing I yearn for is diligence, its been one of the things I've been struggling with lately, and I think its always been one of the things I mainly struggle with, so if you all could pray that God would help me in that, I would be very grateful. :)
I know I haven't written here in a few months, I'm sorry.
I know I've lost most of my readers now, but that's alright, I like to keep record of what goes on in my life, generally speaking, that's why I still have one of these, and livejournal and what not.
I'm teaching today again at Girl's group, so I must go finish preparing for it, as well as laundry and so forth.
But thanks for reading and prayers, all of you "silent" readers. :)
Be blessed abundantly!

| Long time no see, eh?Sooo, its been a really long time since I last updated, huh?
Welll. let me tell you, a lot can happen in just 2 or 3 months.
Let me just give you a quick summarization of what has happened in the past few months.
In February, I went to California for two weeks and came home.
Before that I went to Snow Camp for the 4th time and had an absolutely amazing experience there, and re-met someone some of you may remember, others may not.
The Ketchup man? Yes, the ketchup man.
Or the former-step in for the REAL ketchup man. =P
Anyways, I felt all that weekend that I should say hello to him, just to kind of renew our "almost" friendship from last time, not to be flirty or anything of the sort. But as it turned out... I was just barely able to reach him before leaving the conference, and we talked briefly and told me he had a facebook and myspace, so of course I found him on there.
So anyways, long story short, that began a new interest for me. This boy I call Tim-eh or Tim Needham.
Yes, its another Tim, guys.
But this Tim is nothing like the other one, I can tell you that much.
I don't in anyway relate him to my past... or the Russian Tim.
Anyway, after I talked to him, I decided not to think about liking him possibly or being interested in him, even though after just talking to him those few short minutes, I saw something I'd never thought I'd see in a guy again.
Or at least, I wasn't expecting to...
Anyway, so after that, we went to different "hill" worship services by the Arise Worship band there that they have monthly... and each time after each service, he'd come out of talking to his friends and say hi to me.
And thennn. after I cameback from California, I'd signed up with my brother and volunteer at Monadnock for the second to last week of the winter camp (the weekend prior to my 20th birthday) and so we ended up volunteering there.
Who should be there? None other than Tim Needham of course!
And it was funny because I wasn't really expecting him to be there, because he had just gotten a full-time job at Walmart and I figured he'd just be too busy to go... But he ended being there.
So that surprised me, but I decided to not let him being there distract me from what God wanted me to do there. And so I actually figured out shortly after that a girl that I'd met previously there was also there volunteering with her youth group from Rhode Island.
Her name was Jenn, and I just got to know her pretty well over the weekend and it was a blast. =)
I mainly stayed in the Snack shops, which was fine by me, I met a lot of nice people.
But every so often, I'd see Tim going from here to there, and we actually did hang out quite a bit while I was out there... All the while I was hanging on to my heart, to not let it implode or distract me from seeing what I needed to see and hear while I was there.
At the end of the weekend, Sunday afternoon, he asked me if I wanted to hangout and go somewhere after the sessions were over, and I told him "Yeah, sure! that'd be cool." or whatever... And so after the session was over with Dwight Knight. (who happens to be a great speaker) we cleaned up the kitchen and other areas, the dining rooms and such.
After that, I lost where he went and I helped my brother get his things... and it turned out he was going to rest before the worship service that night, so I took Joel to Wal-Mart in a place called "Keene" in New Hampshire.
I bought the Juno soundtrack and a Sierra mist along with some Winterfresh gum.
And when I returned, Tim was awake and looking for something to do.
So we chatted for awhile and then he asked me if I wanted to go eat somewhere, so I was like "Sure, wherever!"
And so we went to Chillis with my brother... and what songs should be playing?
"The Best Thing" by Relient K
And then "Man and a Woman" by U2.
Funny, huh?
Anyway, so we talked and laughed and yeah. it was fun.
Sooooo. to make a really long story short...er.
Haha.
I went back to Monadnock after Chili's and we got there just in time, and I sat by myself during the worship time and noticed that he was sitting with his friends, and thennnn, after it was over I was getting ready to leave with my brother, but I noticed one of my old friends was there. "Caleb Harty" and so I went over to say hi to him, and JUST before I could say hi to him, Tim like breaks free of his friends and yells out
"HEY Caleb, how's it going?!"
And I was thinking. "Whoooa, where'd that come from?"
So then Caleb turned and noticed me and I just kinda said "Hey." to him and he continued the conversation he was having with some other friend.
And then Tim comes over to me and says "Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" And I was confused and just discombobulated as to what was going on around me and so I said. "Yeah, sure." and so he basically told me that he was interested in me, and that he'd like to get to know me more and then one of his friends comes over and he's all like. "Tim'eh's talkin' to a womannnn!" and I felt so embarrassed for him! Hahaha.
And so he just kinda turned to his friend and asked him to leave us alone for a minute, and his friend walked away and then he proceeded to tell me that he wasn't so sure at first if he really liked me, but then after hanging out with me over this weekend, he really just saw something different in me, and that he wanted to talk to me more, and stuff. So I was completely and totally shocked and I gave him my cell# and he called me on my way home.
Sooo for the record, we're friends with feelings that want to know more about eachother, so we're not officially together yet.
But I just think its awesome how God works things out, when you really don't see them coming.
After I left that night, I was driving home and I was going 44mph on a 30mph speed limit zone, and I got pulled over for the first time in my life.
But the policeman spared me a ticket and wished me a happy birthday, and told me to slow down and pay attention to the speed limit signs.
So now I'm 20 and I think it's been a good year so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what else God has in store for me.
I have a girl's discipleship group which is going great, and a great youth band and now a worship service given by the youth of our church, and that's just the beginning of the wonderful things God is doing in my life, and in the people around me's lives and yeah.
God is amazing.
Thanks for reading. =D

| Wow, just wow.I have not posted in here in almost a year!
How scary is that, anyway?
I really feel bad for having neglected this for so long...
I miss all you Xangans.
I haven't been on here, but I still like it. I just forget..
*le sigh* Facebook and livejournal own my online journaling soul, unfortunately, that's just how its been.
Well, I got a job at Subway, laaaaast July, and then I was laid off, then I got hired! at Big Y, and I've been working there for almost 4 months now.
So I'm excited to be at least earning some money.
I just cameback from Monadnock again, and it really was a blessed time, I heard God so clearly and saw him work amongst my friends like I'd never seen before.
I hope that God continues to show me more and more what He has planned out for my life, and I hope that I will have patience in waiting however long it takes to find out.

| Well, my goodness.It appears I haven't updated here AT ALL.
Its so sad, it really is.
Wellll, alot has happened since May first.
I'm going to Cornerstone!
YES, YES, YES!!!
And then, who knows what else God holds for me, but I'm really superly excited.
My dad, brother Joel and friend Noelle are in South Africa, so keep them in your prayers, too.
If you please. ^_^
I've been so busy lately, its really crazy.
I will update next week after I return from Cornerstone with Deanna though. ^_^

| May first.Soooo.
I haven't been faithful to my promise to update alot, have I?
Well, aloooot has been happening with me, and I had 30 Hour Famine with my Youth group this past weekend, and it was lots and lots of fun and it really blessed me and encouraged me greatly.
Its so great to see my Youth group begin to grow and do things that I thought were never going to happen and now to see them happen is just amazing. =D
Today is my friend Danielle's 19th birthday. *sigh* I haven't talked to her in such a long time.
its sad to see friends lose track of friends... especially when friends live that close to each other.
Hmmm...
Well, on to more happier news, I found out yesterday I may be getting a job reallyreally soon, and so thats really exciting.
I'm still unsure of how and what I'm going to do about my college this fall, I'm going to try and start something, but I don't know that its going to work out or not...
I'm still trying to get to Cornerstone somehow and Kansas in July, but we'll see how it all works out.
All I know is that I really need a job fast, if anything is to workout at all.
