so...

I'm in Australia! Its like 10 times more beautiful than i thought it would be! The past two weeks we spent in sydney in a couple different suburbs and it was amazing! The people here have been so gracious and generous to the team and make us feel so at home. We've been singing  a ton.. doing  school programs in the morning and singing in retirment villages, shopping centers, parks and doing concerts at night for different churchs. Its tiring but its amazing to see God workign in each of our lives and using us for his glory. Our team has really grown together and we're learning alot about being self-less.

Anyways.. i really could go on and on about everythign but just please  lift our team up when you talk with Jesus. Its a great experience but couldn't be happening without His help!

Let me know how you're doing and whats been happening in your life so far this summer!

if anybody even reads this anymore...

me and amy...

Me and some of my favorite girls in the world...

Me at/in my cousins wedding the day after i got home from cedarville..

and... the pictures won't downlaod anymore.. great.

so anyways.. its been a good break so far. I am levaing in a week for australia with my team from c'ville. And I am pumped. I have alot of mixed emotions about missing camp people and old friends. It seems everyone is heading a different direction now.. which is great! Its amazing watching God work and the oppertunities he is supplying my friends with. But somtimes change is hard. Somtimes i just wnat to hold on to all the memories and fun from when I was younger.. things seemed easier back then.=) However.. God is good and faithful and always has a plan for the future.I miss everyone and hope you have wonderful times this summer!

hey guys! ok.. so i'm finally updating, my computer hasn't been working all that great so I havn't been able to do anything with xanga.

can i just say that today was absoloutly beautiful! I loved it! and also.. this is random, there is hardly anything i love watching more than a dad with his little kids.. seriously, and its really attractive when guys are good with little kids..lol

Anyways, alot has happened since the  last time i posted. Cheerleading is over, which even if it sounds stupid i already miss like crazy! Five of us girls on my squad went to an americheer competition last weekend and it was amazing. SO much fun and we def. grew closer to each other through it. We placed second which was kind of dissapointing, but overall it was a great season and I CANNOT wait for next year!

My family came down to visit last weekend which was awesome! I haven't seen them since Christmas! People always used to tell me you learned to apprecaite your parents more after you leave, and i never really thought about it, but now i think its true. I am so thankful for the parents and fmaily God has blessed me with and i hate myself for taking that for granted somtimes. anyways.. don't forget to let your family and the people you love know how much they mean to you!=)

this is getting long..  theres alot to say but  honestly i think i'd rather not write it all out for the world..=) hope you all have a great nite!

Last night was fun....

we played sardines in a funeral home...

(all of this with absoloutly NO LIGHTS)

Crazy or what?!?! But baby was it fun!=)

i def. ripped my favorite pants on a nail in the wall! gosh...

and then.. trying to get back for curfew the car proceeded to get stuck in a snow drift.. so katie, deb and i tried to push it out.. yeah definatly didn't work.lol

then today after church we went shopping at the outlets...

why do i always do this? i have no money but i always manage to buy somthing! its ok.. everything was on sale at banana republic for literally $3.50 guys!! 

anyways.. thats all.. just wishin it was like 90 degrees outside and at camp patmos!=)

so, its been a while since i posted , but i havn't hardly stopped going since i've been back in cedarville. so much is going through my head right now i don't even know what to say... God is stretching me though, i know that for sure. I don't really understand what he wants me to do or see yet, but he is testing me in so many ways right now and its taking all i've got to listen and be patient. This song keeps going through my head and every time i hear it, it encourages me to keep resting in the Lord and giving him my heart...

Wonderful Savior,  
My heart belongs to thee
I will remember always
The blood You shed for me
Wonderful Savior, 
My heart will know Your worth
So let me embrace You always
As I walk this earth

Be blessed, be loved, be lifted high
Be treasured here, be glorified
I owe my life to You, my Lord
Here I am

Beautiful Jesus,
How may I bless Your heart
Knees to the earth I bow down to everything You are
Beautiful Jesus,
You are my only worth
So I will embrace You always
As I walk this earth
