| Been a while.
Its almost March! How stinkin sweet is this?? So I just got back a
couple weekends ago from Discovery Weekend. It was basically the most
amazing weekend where a whole bunch of prospective missionaries for our
Lord and Savior got together and bonded and prayed over where He wanted
us to go and work as His hands and feet. I actually found out this
weekend where I am going.... and I will be serving in Amarillo, Texas
for 10 weeks this summer working with one other missionary and we will
be serving kids! Totally psyched. I am very nervous to imform my
parents of my decision. Going into Discovery Weekend I wanted to get
OUT of the U.S. and really just get out of my comfort zone. I was dying
to go to Russia and with orphange children. I realized throughout
the weekend, though, that I wanted to go to Russia for a selfish
reason.. I felt that a mission trip had to be big so that when I told
people where I was going, they would think, "WOW, thats amazing!"
God spoke to me last weekend and just really burdened my heart for 2
camps right here in TEXAS!! haha. How awesome is He? The one place I
thought FOR SURE I wouldnt stay in... and here I am! He is good.
So that is goin down and that rocks. This Spring Break I am going with
the BSM to El Paso and Juarez, Mexico to work with VBS for kids....
and.... none other than orphanges!!! haha. So He blessed me with
another calling! That will be from the 11-16.. doesnt give me much time
to get back to Houston and enjoy home, so Cara and her family opened up
their home to me for the rest of Spring Break!!!!!!! I am soo totally
psyched about all this! But my mom isnt diggin it quite yet. I dont
think that my new news about being gone for 2 and 1/2 months over this
summer and not making any money isnt going to QUITE please her or my
dad!! Please pray for peace on their hearts!
School.... is going alright... its not much on the forefront of my
mind, must admit! haha. This past weekend I went with some awesome
girls on my floor to one of their deer leases... our weekend was packed
with driving, pigging out, 4-wheeling, sitting in the hot tub, playing
taboo, shooting guns and more 4-wheeling!!!!!!!!! Amazing, I love those
girls hardcore!
Gotta stttuuuuuddddyyyy for some statistics! Later fooooooooooooooooolllllssss

Spread wide in the arms of Christ, it
is the love that covers sin. No greater love have I ever known, You
consider me a friend!! You capture my heart again.
Lord.
You consider me a friend. How amazing, how exciting, how rewarding, how
inviting, how comforting, how intimate. I am so glad to be called Your
very own. Thank you for never leaving my side. Though I have pulled
away and looked away from You, You have never let me go. That same grip
you have on me with Your righteous right hand has never even loosened.
Nothing I could ever do would make you love me any less. I wish we had
that kind of regard for others. I wish all Christians understood what
it is to consider themselves Christians. Let me deny myself, O God, and
take up nothing but Your cross and follow you in every step! Let me be
Your hands and feet all over this earth. Let me fulfill every goal,
dream and blessing You have set aside for me! Let me not be lost in the
dark any longer.
Get into His word today and let Him start teaching YOU!
heart, amelia

| Christmas makes me smile!
It might snow here this week! How swell would that be?
I get to go hang out with Sarah Math. in Sugarland this break! I love
that girl to pieces and I just love how as young as she is, her faith,
beauty (inside and out), and strength encourages me daily! Though she
doesnt think she is strong... she thinks that crying makes you weak,
not at all. You are still in the game, you are still pushing forward to
perservere through these trials. Sometimes, you have to cry, youre a
GIRL! haha. I cannot wait to hug you, girl! I love you and really
really miss seeing your bright smile and getting a hug from you daily.
You are an angel and just remember He is there, acknowledge Him! MUAH
Final-studying coming up soon. ha. Man, that wamps. I would like some
Sonic for lunch. But thats okay I will just eat dining hall food. (you
know, the food that makes you want to dake a dump on a plate and just
gobble it up with a spoon.. because that sounds better than the mold
they feed us)
Oh Spring, I cannot wait to reside in you. I will cook and drive and
sleep in my own bed. I am going to make this break the best one
ever!!!!!!
class... heart, amelia

| All my entries seem to be so upbeat and just amazed by what He is doing in my life.
I am still upbeat and happy and could NEVER stop being amazed by His
glory, but I was just writing an entry praising Him when I realized
that I am not even right with Him. I have lost focus BIG time for the
past week. I am not myself and to praise Him and share what He is doing
in my life as if everything is just dandy would be completely wrong. He is still in my life and in my
heart. That would never change, but I have not been listening or
responding. I havent even been seeking. I have given into the temptations and flesh of this
egocentric world. Just letting ya'll know that I am struggling right
now, for those that feel alone. You're not. Ever.
I am listening to Chris Tomlin's amazing worship CD "Arriving" and
praising Him isnt hard at all. I could raise my voice in melody for Him
all day. Its the obeying part. I keep justifying things thinking of why
these things keep happening. I think "well everything happens for a
reason, maybe Im supposed to do this to learn something.." haha. Just a
lil FYI if that thought goes through your head, you have learned
something right then and there, that what you are doing is wrong. If
there is any need for justification... it isnt something that pleases
Him. When that is what we are here for and what we strive for as true
Christians who know and love God and have Him in their heart, they want
nothing more than to please Him. When we walk that thin line and are
constantly thinking "Maybe this isn't wrong." or "Maybe God is using me
in this situation." Thats not living for Him. I am not living for Him.
I hate having to admit that. But it is very humbling. Anyway, just a
lil blurb there.
All I want, Lord, is for you to look at my life and be pleased that I did all I could to please You.
heart, amelia

| O Praise Him! I just had a VERY refreshing weekend! Some family finally
came to see what was going on with me up here!! My dad, sister, best
friend and brother all got to come up to this here turf and, though we
only got to spend one day together... we just jam-packed, fun-filled
that day up!! I was very sad when they all left, but Thanksgiving is
arriving faster than we know it! Though I have to stop looking forward
to another break and get back into my studies!!
Oh studying.... I feel like it is my LIFE! Does it get easier as the
years progress? It certainly doesnt seem to be the case in my sister's
career. Anywhoo. I just really love my family! I would like to announce
that! I thought that when I went off to college it would be high school
Xs 10.. not wanting to ever go home, or see fam.... but its just the
opposite. I for sure dont want to be going home every weekend... I am
just really ready after 3+ months!!!
I love things right now! I got my radio up here (thanks to Emily!) and
I am just LOVING hearing the radio again. I am very thankful to have
had a good semester without some things I thought I couldnt live
without... because it now seems that I just get complete joy and
satisfaction in the little things in life!!!
America's Funniest Home Videos forever!!!! Oh, Bob Saggot! You really are my hero!
James 1:5 daily prayer. heart, amelia
