the smiles, the flowers, everything is gone.

State graphic design competition today..
Ive basically gotten NO sleep. All week.

But God is good! He moved in me on tuesday night at the awakening and then used it again last night.
I love that Joey lets the holy spirit run our services in youth.
I wanna crave more of God.
Its what Im working towards :)

Bonfire with Brandon was fun last night.. Hes a great friend!

I gotta go now - Panera hit up then headed to RTI.
Pray for us today!

work, work, work.. all day long.

today i'm working - open to close.
i actually like it. =]
i have the world's best job.. and it's monaaay.
blessed, yes.

i'm having lunch with scott and burbey soon. love those boys.
scott is one of my best friends.
he's also my accountability partner, so i'm very thankful for him.

i'm reading a little diddy that God laid on my heart for church tonight..
i'm stinkin nervous, even if it is just delivering His words.

i have state skills USA competition tomorrow for graphic design, so wish me luck! :)
i'm off to study for it..

have a wonderful wednesday!

what's the story, morning glory?

I need patience more than anything else. =)

Today's been nice. Slow. Calm.
We went grocery shopping as a family - it's been awhile.
We ran into my ex-boyfriend, Brett.
It was so.. weird. It was almost as if I had forgotten we dated until I saw him, then..
De. Ja. Vu.

Joey's preaching tonight; I can't wait to hear what God has given him to preach. It'll be great. :)

Brentley is leaving after service, and I hate it.
We're super close, but sometimes, it's just weird between us. Like.. We don't know how to be best friends AND siblings. It's awkward. Haha.
It'll be cool to live in the same city as him again!

I have nine months left in this little town, and I have no clue what to do with them.

This is the stuff You use.

Aloha!

Yesterday, Brentley and I went to Springfield. :)
It was nice to just.. get away.
We got to see Chris for a little bit, which was awesome. Christian and a guy named.. Greg? Gary? (I can't remember) ..were at Chris' apartment, so we got to talk to them a little too.
We watched some TV after they all left, then met up with Joe.
He's going through a lot right now, and it was nice just to fellowship.
We watched a couple movies, went to the mall, and just talked. It was awesome - very chill.
I can't wait to live in Ozark.

Today.. Brent and I spent the day shopping. Lol.
Poor guy didn't get to do any manly stuff at all this week, besides chopping wood. =P
It was fun, though. We checked out a new vintage shop, and got to just hangout for a day.
Plans with Hannah and Jacob kinda fell through tonight, because of the RIDICULOUS snow we got.
Yep. On spring break..
Whoo for Missouri! Ha.

Tomorrow, I get to see my bestfriend Tyler. =)
It's literally been almost six months since I've gotten to hangout with her, so it's about time..
Plus, it'll help take my mind off Brentley leaving!

I'm ready for January to get here. I've got to learn to be patient.. :)

For now I'm going to watch a movie, sleep some more, and try to waste the weekend.
Church tomorrow!

thursday night.

there's a bunch of people.
at my house.
i'm a happy girl. =)

springfield tomorrow, to see friends.
love my brother.
love my life.

re-evaluate who I really am.

Spring break has started.
I have a feeling the next few weeks I'm gonna be going through a lot. I'm praying for strength, and wisdom, and most importantly -a guarded heart. 
I can't get hurt again.
Not right now.

Sadie is coming over tonight, and that will help take my mind off things. I just need to be distracted. :)

Relationships are weirrrd. I don't like being young.

My song of the week is Sanctus Real's "Whatever You're Doing" ..Check it out.

I'm off to watch a dumb YouTube video to make me laugh, then get on Facebook.
Spring Break's crazy, huh? :P

PS - I can't WAIT for the awakening.<3

yum =]

Hola. =)
So, life's been pretty crazy lately! Nothing God can't handle, but it's definitely stressful.
My family life got kinda screwed up last weekend, but I'm praying that everything has smoothed over.
My grandma, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, came and visited on Tuesday. It was one of the best surprises I've ever received. I've missed her so much.
Church was really good lastnight! Worship was led by a special guest from CBC, one of Joey's friends, named James. He had a great voice, and the whole service was anointed.

Prom is coming up! The theme for mine is "A Tale as Old as Time" like off Beauty and the Beast. :)
I picked out my dress - it's on Facebook - and I'm going to order it soon.

Either way, prom isn't as big of a deal as graduation is. December is creeping up so fast! :D
I'm starting to fill out scholarships and applications and FAFSA; this stuff consumes too much time! Lol.
It'll be worth it to have less debt in the end, but still. Gah.
I think Sadie will be living with me in Ozark in January, unless I start JRLC then and she goes to like, OTC or somethin.
I think it'd be kinda cool, but at the same time, I kinda just wanna start over fresh. However, if her living with me helps her, it's worth it to me. :)
I'm really really really glad Sadie has been coming to church with me. She's literally becoming one of my closest friends. We never fight or disagree on anything - we have TONS in common!

Speaking of close friends, I got to see my other half, Hannah, on Monday. The only reason she wanted to have dinner was to tell me she's going to prom with my ex-boyfriend, but I was content either way. :)  I love her.
I'm happy for them, which I wasn't expecting. I want her to be happy. I want him to be happy. Why not be happy together, you know?

Brentley is home from college. FINALLY. I can't even begin to tell you how much I've missed him. He's my best best best friend, older brother, and advisor. I've needed him around here. =[
We may go up to Springfield tomorrow to just chill for a day. I hope I find out soon, so I can make plans with work. :P

Spring break is beginning at 3 today.. And I'm gonna watch the Wizard of Oz for the first time this afternoon. Life is good.<3

Time for learning.. :)

for those who are interested..

life's awesome lately.
we just wrapped up a three week revival where almost 50 people were filled with the Holy Ghost for the first time!
two of those people were my dad - finally! :) - and Char, a girl from school who's been living with me for the past few months.
things were getting really rough with char beforehand, so I'm hoping this changes things.

I spent last weekend at James River Leadership College.
God moved so much! I'm definitely going there; hopefully this fall I can start classes. :D

While there, I got to spend time with my brother/bestfriend, Brentley. I miss him sooo much.
I met TONS of awesome people. They were all so inviting.
We went splunking while I was there -- it was my first time and I loooved it!

Joe and I ran across the expressway.. Haha. It was exciting.. Scary, but fun. =]
Joe is an incredible guy. He lifts me up, and has SUCH a heart for ministry.

everything is finally good.
..besides my homework.

later later. :)
