My computer is fixed!! I have a brand new operating system (Windows 7!) =D but have lost all my emails =( So, if there's an email you sent me and I never replied...well that's why. :-/ It's so awesome how God has continually blessed me with a working computer, even with the number of times it has broken down!
I also remember that I've promised y'all pictures of the Book 1 Recital - and I'm sorry it's taken so long, but hold on a little bit longer! I have not forgotten! Some of our friends took the pictures, so they are currently in their possesion and I have yet to get a copy from them. :)
Meanwhile, I wanted to share my excitement for my friend Tara, who was recently engaged!! It has been such a blessing to me, as a teenager, to see their [Tara and Stephen's] godly example during their courtsrhip.
Here are some pictures that she posted on her blog. :)

To explain the lack of posts recently...
My computer has crashed. :( So I have limited computer time on the computers of all my family members. Hopefully it will be up and running again soon! Please pray that we figure out what happened to it, because we're really not quite sure. :-/
Love always,

Jesus, bring the rain
My eyes have never been so dry from crying all the moisture out. Plus one eye is considerably worse than the other, or else has something wrong with it, resulting in a very skewed view of the computer screen.
It's 11:00. Normally that wouldn't feel that late, unless you got up at 6:00am, spent all day at an awana conference that wore you down emotionally, convicted you spiritually, and tired you out physically...not to mention eating sawdust cookies and sitting through classes about New Age something you have no idea about.
But I did go to this one very encouraging workshop today, called, ironically "being an encourager in a discouraging world" The thing that stuck out to me was this song they shared by MercyMe called "bring the rain"
When...when everyone else isn't there, when everyone you need to see, need to talk to, need a hug from isn't there...God is there. With this quiet, still voice He reminds you that He is the only friend you'll really ever need. God doesn't go off to college or can't be friends with you for awhile. He doesn't go to a different church, or have other friends He needs to talk to when you need it. When you're alone, lost, and in tears...God really, really does have this gigantic, huge, amazing plan for you life. He's using everything in some miraculous way so that you will be closer to Him...and that He will be glorified.
WHY is it so hard to remember that sometimes? Why do we always seem to fail at setting our minds on things above, not on things on the earth?
For we died, and our life is hidden with Christ in God! (Colossians 3:1-3)
We have this need for something we can feel, that we can touch, people we can relate to and sense with our 5 senses. God is so much more fulfilling...when will I learn that? Can we get to a place where we really understand that?
Life is so complicated. I'm so glad I'm not in charge of it. I really don't understand why so many people think power is such a great thing. But then again, maybe they have life a little more figured out than I do. =P

Going to be gone...
So, I'm going to be off the computer for a week.
The reason is...God's been teaching me a lot lately, one of them is that I keep telling Him I'm going to spend more time with Him, do my schoolwork, not get on the computer, etc, and I don't.
And I've been doing that for like...2 years? It's pretty bad. And God's sort of convicted me that it needs to stop. Because I've been "stopping" for 2 years. :-/
Last night we watched Flywheel - by the same people who made Facing the Giants and Fireproof. As cheesy as some of it was - the quality wasn't all that great - it was sort of convicting. And I realized that if I was going to change anything at all in my life it wasn't going to to happen by getting up in the morning and saying "okay, God, I'm gonna be different today!" It's taking steps forward to literally change things. And God keeps telling me to change the time I spend on the computer - even though I really, really, really don't want to. =P
So...I'm locking my computer up for a week. I would really appreciate prayer right now, that I'll get my priorities straight and not give into the temptation I know Satan is going to put out there.
See you all in a week! :)
