Merry Chrima!!

Merry Chrima! I can't believe it's christmas time! It seems like it always sneaks up and then is over before you can blink an eye....I do love this time of year though! Spending time with family, Presents, and of course....It's Jesus' birsday! wahoo!! I love it!!!

Well, if you have known me for a while you know that I absolutely love Christmas and I absolutely love buying and receiving presents! Well, this year a few of those things have changed.....

Since spending last Christmas in an Indonesian orphanage and really living out what christmas is about....my views have changed! I think that presents are great and all but, they should be given in an honor of love for those people and in honor of Jesus' birthday.  I think a lot of people just give presents because "It's Christmas" ....well, the next present you give....think about what Jesus did for us and give them in love.

what else....I love being able to spend time with my family and not having to work.....I love my job and I love school...but, it's soooo nice to have a break! 

Well, im going to go off and spend some time with my bestest friend, caroline before I head off to small group.  

Have a great day! 

Happy Birthday Gran!

Today is my grandmother's 80th birthday! She has lived an amazing and healthy life! Praise the Lord!! : D

So, I am going home for the weekend.....going to help my sister move out of Winthrop on Saturday and hang out with the family Friday and Sunday! Should be a busy weekend.  

I am very excited that I have one more week to work and then 2 weeks off!!! Wow, I cant believe that I actually get 2 full weeks off!! YAY!!! 

Well, I am going to take Pigeon on a walk now..... 

Merry Christmas everybody! 

Long Time....

I will have to say that it has been a long time since I have blogged......

New in my life:

 I am teaching the gospel tomorrow to my ESL students.....

 School is finished for 1 month....hallelujah!

 Ready to spend Christmas at home (last summer I spent it in Indonesia on a "M" trip)

 Trying to finish my JMAN application! : D 

Thats about all right now....Oh and I am sooo loving Christmas music!!! (even though I listen to it all year long...hehe)

Stressed...

So, my grandfather is doing horrible.  The only thing working in his body is his heart...

I have 2 test, a project, a presentation, and a ton of other school work this week.....

I gave my apartment the wrong check and had to pay a $50 late fee....

All of this stuff makes me sad and stressed!!  

What a BLAH day!!!  : (

90 Minutes In Heaven... and the election....

So, I just finished reading the book "90 Minutes in Heaven" and it was wonderful! I absolutely loved it! Well, I will have to say at the beginning of the book I was very skeptical but, I really do believe everything that Don Piper says.  So, everyone go and read it!! 

It was good reading this book considering that my grandfather is in the last stages of his life here on earth.  The doctors don't give him but 2 more days to live.  I am so excited for him though because I am really sure that he will be in Heaven with my grandmother praising God for eternity! So exciting....oh and he is excited too!! : ) Even though it will be sad for us who are still on Earth but I know he will be so happy up there!!

So, about this whole election thing.  It is driving me nuts that people are going crazy about it.  Barak Obama is president of the USA so, support him, pray for him and stand by him.  He needs our support and prayers! Stop bashing him and stop being critical!!! 

So, thats about all that is going through my head right now.  I am about to start reading the book, Twilight, and I am very excited....bye! : ) Here's a new pic of me and Pigeon: 

I have not posted in a while...

It's been a very busy weekend so far....yesterday two great friends got married.  I am so excited for them! They are really perfect for each other and God is clearly the center of their relationship! What a wonderful thing!

For some reason I cannot upload big pictures on here and it makes me sad. 

It's finally getting cold here and I am so excited. I am ready to wear sweaters, scarves, and gloves! Can't wait!!

I have been very busy lately with school and work.  A good busy though.  Even though I am ready to graduate and be out of school! : ) Oh well, it will come soon enough I guess! : ) 

car blues

So, my car broke. Please pray it's not much money and it gets fixed fast.  Ohhh...I hate not having a car! : (
