So it's finally the year that I graduate and I am am really excited to be able to be on my own for once. Meet new people, experience new things . . . but yet I am kind of apprehensive about leaving the comfort zone that I have been in my entire life.

For the rest of my senior year I am going to make the most of each and every moment. After this marking period, school doesn't matter anymore. I am so excited to just be able to have fun and hang out with my friends.

Above everything else, for the rest of this year I want to be able to grow closer to God and trust in His plan for my life. I've been so preoccupied with everything else that's going on in my life (and I know that that's not an excuse) that I have not been spending time daily in His word. So if anything, if you could just all pray that I would have the passion and desire to want to grow closer and to learn everything that I can in the months to come.

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Dedication of this update: Katie

Actually right now I should be working on my comp. for Lit, but I decided to procrastinate instead . . .

So I really love the Christmas season, everyone is so happy. And I realllly love listening to Christmas music. Although this year it just feels like everything is moving so fast. I mean, there are less than two weeks until Christmas and I haven't done any Christmas shopping or written any Christmas cards. We already had our Christmas concert (LAST ONE, thank goodness) but I'm starting to get kind of sad. This is the last time that everything is going to be the same. Sure, we'll all be back next year, but everyone won't be together. Anyways I really didn't mean for that to sound depressing...I hope you are all enjoying your Christmas season...

Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my Mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir, Daddy says there's not much time
You see she's been sick for quite a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight

Life is so stressful right now. I need a break.

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm…

So I just got back from Long Beach Island today and I already miss it so much. It was one of the best times that I've had in my entire life. Laying on the beach, surfing, meeting lifeguards. I seriously could move right now. I hate being back in Ephrata. One more year . . .

This summer has been so incredible so far . . .

PYA has completely changed my life for the better. It was an emotionally, physically, mentally draining week but it has brought me so much closer to God. I feel truly blessed to have been able to experience that and I know now that I am going to be a different person.

This is my last year in high school and I have completely wasted my previous 3 years. Sure I've always been a Christian but how often have I actually done things that are so pleasing to God. I haven't read my Bible on a regular basis, I haven't talked to any of my friends about my faith. This year is going to be completely different. I am going to live my life for Christ. And I am going to make sure that this happens by relying on those who are also experiencing the same thing.

I hope you're all having a great summer

How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only son, to make a wretch his treasure
How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turned his face away
As wounds which mar the chosen one, bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ; his death and resurrection
Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart: his wounds have paid my ransom
