I do not  wish to constantly update, however I will occasionally. The past month has been a time of great growth for me. My relationship with God has grown greatly. I want to do his will and I have seen his blessing in my life. My relationship with my parents is great and I have joy. Life is best lived with God at the center. I do not say this as a cliche but I truly mean it. God, creator of the universe, knows whats best for you right? So many times the world tricks us into believing it has all the answers, but its pleasures are short lived and end in pain. I am by no means perfect and I stumble daily; but with his help I am moving forward. Its amazing that when you beat sin it gets easier every time to beat again. You always have to stay on your guard, though for it tries to sneak in and steal a victory. I'm by no means trying to preach I want you guys to share in what I am feeling. Start reading your Bible before bed and just talk to God. I've found that praying out loud helps me, one not to fall asleep, but most importantly to stay ontract and to pray as if I am talking to a friend, not reciting some glamorous orration. I've opened myself up, please do not feel as if I am trying to say how holy I am, I don't want that, not at all. I want you guys to feel the fullness and reward felt when God is in control, my heart is so full I just want to share.

I attended the Leadership Conference this weekend and found it to be very helpful. Tim Elmore is a gifted speaker. It was also nice to talk with groups of teens from around the state. School has been a little slow actually, atleast homework wise, we seen to have alot of tests though. As you can tell by my writing here I am ungrounded from the computer and would like to make the youth group a website. It'll take alot of work but I think it will be useful. I've been watching a few episodes of Lost season 1 with my parents. Its really good. I like books/movies that deal with survival both foodwise and socially. Nothing super exciting is coming up immediatly but I plan to attend the nursing day at the university ( :) don't laugh, I'm interested in the medical field) and to attend the University Summer Studies. We'll theres my little update. I doubt anyone will read it though because they think I quit zanga. Oh well its good just to journal.

Well I gave my parents my grade card and in return I got a two hour lecture and a list of things I can't do. Among them is not being able to use my computer or do anything with friends until I bring home A's and B's. So as you can see I'm pretty much screwed. Did anyone else do bad on their grades? Math was just so hard for me. We'll this is the end of xanga for a while. Sorry guys.

- Chicago was great, I had alot of fun and learned quite a bit too, but mainly had alot of fun. I learned alot about the people that went so that was really cool. Thanks to all of you that asked how it went. :)

Good Morning, Good Evening, and Goodnight :)

School was slow today, and I have alot of homework I have to do for the days I'm going to miss. I'm hoping the art trip to Chicago will be fun. Illustrator came in the mail today! If you guys want me to make you something just tell me and I'll try. I was just thinking wouldn't be scary if adults had a xanga. like Mr.Waltman! Uh!

The weekend was really fun. I got alot done and had a fun time on Sunday night at Tyler's. Thanks Tyler :). School stunk because it was a Monday but the low homework load was nice. I'm getting my assignments for thursday and friday so I'll be a little loaded down but then after that I won't have to think about school for four days. ahhh. Is anybody else scared about their grades? I mean who didn't bomb that Math test? My grades were all like 85 and 93, kinda scary but hey A's and B's. I made a flash thing for radiate so you guys can see that wednesday. Ok, thats all for now folks. Bye
