Heya everyone!! Let me just tell ya a little about yesterday! It was a REALLY GREAT day!! The message was really good!! Playtime was good, it was a beautiful day, kinda windy..but oh well! Good thing too, cause they had Tara & Stephen's Wedding Shower in the gym, so all the kids were outside! :) Except when Me, Melanie, Candy, Lael & Bethany were in the kitchen doing different things.

Then I played about two games of volleyball, but mainly just talked with Rebekah, Candace, Melanie, Dianna, Rach, Elyse, Lael, Elizabeth, Jen, Julie, & Bethany.

Me & Elyse had a FUN time yesterday!..It was one of those day's where we just looked at each other, knew what the other was thinking, and just bursted out into laughter!! :D We had a lotta good laughs when Me, Elyse, Rachel, T.J, Luke, Micah, Candace, Dianna, Melanie & Ben were talking out by the volleyball feild!! . Like one time someone said something, Me, Luke, Rachel & Elyse just looked at each and started laughing. Lol!!

I was SO glad that the Theriac's got to stay AND go to Taco Bell! It was AWESOME!! :D We had a great time at taco bell! The Hulley's got to go to Taco Bell also. :) I sat with Rachel, Candace, Melanie, Dianna & Annie...which Annie was being so cute, as always! She took mine & Melanie's straw started playing with them, putting them in her mouth all goofy like, then Rachel told her go get us some more straws so she handed the straw to us & said "Here ya go" and smiled real big and giggled! You gotta love little kids! :) Well that's about it's. Over all it was a GREAT DAY!! :D

Sunday 03-14-10

Yesterday was really an amazing day!!! We went to the nursing home in between services, I was in Candace's group, as usual! :) The group was, Me, Candy, Ben, Jen, Elizabeth, Dianna, & Melanie. We sang to more ppl than usual. Which was great!

One thing that stood out was that one of the residents, we've met her before...She quoted Romans 12:1-2 "I bessech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." and I just thought that was kinda encouraging. :)

Anyways On the way to church, in the van Jen & Me started singing some songs, all goofy like. It was SO fun! lol! :)

Afternoon service...it was a really great message, very convicting also, and it really made you think. Bro. Joe preached. The title of the message was "Walking with Wise Men" one of the main verse he used was Proverbs 13:20 " He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."

I'll try to sum up what I got out of the message, it's hard to do sometimes but..anyways. I'm just have this new gratitude for all the wise godly people that God has blessed me with, and put in my life, and to start really learning from them, and to separate myself from the "fools" & the world. Even if it does mean standing alone. Which will have to be done. Bro. Joe said it won't always be easy, but you have to despise the shame before you can stand alone.

Because the decisions I make now at this time in my life, whether I choose to keep my focus on God or to go the way of the world, these decisions will affect the REST of my life. I don't want to be teetering from side to side. But to stand for what's right, and keep my focus completely on the Lord!! Even if it does mean standing alone, which will have to be done at times, and won't always be easy..... Just to use my time more wisely also.. It has me thinking alot.... Well Chruch got out around 6:00..only cuz the time change.

Then after church it was playtime. Which was alot of fun!! :) Rebekah & I matched. Then I went with Melanie and Dianna, to the playground at picnic table where Mel B. & Rachel were, cause they were trying to connect to Stephen on Skype, so that everyone could say hi to him...but that took AWHILE!!

SOO in the mean time, Dianna and I walked around the tree at the playground, we were bored. ;) Then we just went walking and talking around the church property, we talked about different things, one of them was school. :) We found Melanie & Bethany, they both joined us, then Mr.Muldrow told us that Mel & Rach were in the office trying to get connected so we went in there, it still took a while..we waited looked at different tracts on the table. Bethany finally left to go play volleyball, because they had to leave soon.

Then FINALLY, we got connected with Stephen on Skype...all of us(me, Mel, Rach, Dianna, Melanie, & Mr.Muldrow) said hi, then Mel & Mr.Muldrow did most the talking, actually Stephen did, telling what he had been doing in Mexico. Then Gabby the daughter of the missionary fam he's staying with, came and said hi. Let me tell ya she was SO cute!! :) He was doing good, couldn't talk long tho because it was about to be dinner time. We said our goodbyes, and such.

Melanie, Dianna & I went and played volleyball, Rach & Mel came a little later. We got a real game going after while, it was fun too! :)

We didn't go to Taco Bell this week. :-/ Oh well tho. Melanie, Dianna, Me, Kristin, Rachel, Julie, & Mandi did talk for a little bit out in the parking lot. The convo's we had were kinda funny! ;) lol! That's about how that really happened. It was a REALLY GREAT DAY!!!! :)

p.s I am VERY sorry that I didn't take ANY pictures! ;(

Goodnight, ppls! ;)

January 31st, 2010

I have one very important thing to say........SUNDAYS ARE AMAZING!!!!! That's it....just kidding!! I have a lot more to say!! :) Today was very awesome!!! Most Sundays are! Anyways!

It started off we missed Sunday school, but we got there in time for church. We sat with the Stephens because there were some visitors where we usually sit. Joe preached morning service, it was a really good message!! It seemed long, it wasn't actually!

So then church ended, and Sarah & I went and introduced ourselves to the visitors! They were really nice!!! They were even our ages too!!! :)That was awesome!! Then I went and said hi to Rebekah, quickly! I found Stephen to ask when we were leaving to go to the nursing home. Then, I went and ate. When I finished eating, I went and visited with the Hulley's, & David & Beth in the sanctuary. That was fun, I think Stephen joined us to!

At 1:30 Dianna, Stephen, Luke, Micah, Melanie, Jonelle, Hailey, & Lael and I went to the nursing home! It went really well. It was really Great! Again!! :)I'm hoping & praying that I'll be able to go next week also!! We got back and it was about time for church! Joe preached again, it was kinda part 2 of morning service's message!! It was really good also!!

After church I went and talked to the visitors again with Sarah, then I was gonna go see when my lesson was gonna be, but Rachel was talking to Emily! So I went and changed in my play clothes, then talked to Rachel. :)

Melanie drafted me....to help fold tablecloths & other random things. Let me tell you, I'm horrible at folding!!! It was quite funny watching myself, fold round table cloths into squares!! I mean how do you do that, well I learned how! ;) Then I folded flags.. little ones. :) After we finished, we went outside. Melanie got cold and went back inside, so I went and played a game of volleyball! :) Just one though!

Afterwords, I went back inside to see what Melanie was doing. She was playing with Lil Neal. I asked if she wanted to play knock out, & she said "No, but I'll watch." :) then she watched me, Julie, Mandi, Nathan, Matthew & some other ppl play! It was fun! I was in the last 3! Matthew won the game! :)

Melanie decided she wanted to go outside now, so we went, and watched a two on two volleyball game with Rachel, Hannah & Julie! That's who we watched it with, the ppl were playing were Kara & Fezz vs. Stephen & Jake. We mainly talked and took pics! LOL!! :)

Then we headed out to Taco Bell!! YAY!! It was soo fun!! I sat with Melanie, Kristin, Annie, Rachel, Stephen, & Luke! Julie. Mandi, Julie & I listened to the Veggie Tales. LOL!! ;) Annie was so cute, she was reading different stuff off my receipt like "a" or "2". Whatev. She drank my lemonade till she decided it was sour, so then she drank Melanie's sprite, & ate my tortilla. :) lol! She didn't like cheese! Very odd! Kristin & I took lots of pics!! :) I had a lot of fun!!! Well here are some pics below! It was a very awesome day! :) TTYL!!

Sunday!!!!!!!

Today was Sunday!!!!! Only the most awesome day of the week!!!! And I was really excited about going to the nursing home today..but we'll get to that! So I never can wait till Sunday during the week!!!...Well obviously I do...but I don't like to!!! It teaches me patience...which is a virtue! ;) So it's good for me!! But I really always am very anxious for Sunday to come!!!!

Anyways!!! Both morning & afternoon service were really good messages!!!!!!! And Sunday school!!! For Sunday school we had a video by Dr.Adrian Rogers!! It was really good!!!

I had my piano lesson right after AM service, before we went to the nursing home!

Like I said, in between services I had the awesome opportunity to go to a nursing home down close by church with a group of people!! I really enjoyed going!!! I really liked the group I was in....it was Me, Rachel, Candy, Luke, & Ben..oh & Annie who was just so cute!!!!, especially when she sang "How Great Thou Art" with us!!! I really enjoyed going room to room singing to the people there!! The people really seemed to enjoy it, and that made it just that much better!! Being able to minister to them was great!!! We only sang 4 songs: How Great Thou Art, Blessed Assurance, What a Friend, & Amazing Grace.. we sang them more than once. It's just that we didn't have any hymnals ,so we just picked some we all knew. Oh, and Annie & Rachel did a duet of "If your happy & you know it". Anyways.. to sum it all up..I really enjoyed going!! I'm hoping to go next week too!!

Playtime was a lot of fun too!!!! Rebekah, Elizabeth, Jen & I all matched!!! The funny thing is, that I knew we were all gonna match but I didn't say anything to Rebekah!!! LOL!!! ;) some of us bumped the volleyball around!! That was interesting!!

Jen & I raced & she totally creamed me!!!!!!!!!! YES!! I'm admitting it!!! ;) I can't run with cold feet, at all!!! Let me tell ya my feet were FREEZING!!!!!! The cold, wet, muddy mud didn't help either!!! So she totally beat me!!! Oh well!!! :) It was alot of fun! Our feet were coverded in mud!!! LOL!!! :D After that me feet were FREEZING!!!

Then Melanie and I tried doing the abc's with the volleyball & we got to K! :) Our goal was at least K, or M!! For Kaelinn & Melanie!! But that didn't happen! :P We have to get to "M" next week!! ;)

Anyways, it was cold, & kinda rainy at some points, which was not cool!! :P Melanie & I were starving...sooo we went and tried finding someone with food!!!, Aaaannnddd Rachel! had food...really good food too, it was lasagna, bread & brownies!!!! Oh they were soo amazing..even if the lasagna was cold!! LOL!!! :) So , Melanie and I were like "Thank you so much Rachel"!! We headed to get the lasagna, inside the kitchen....then we ate! Shortly thereafter, the Humphrey's left. :( So after that Melanie and I just kinda did random things!! We mainly just walked around talking!! We tried thinking of a way to get to go to Taco Bell,but that didn't work out!! Melanie didn't get to go! :( Very sad!

Stephen finished playing volleyball, so, therefore; he, Melanie, & Dianna left....then us, the Crenwelge's, Hannah & Fezzy, Kara & Jojo, & Jake & Drew went to taco bell!!

Well that's all I really can think off right now!! Soooooo ttyl!!!

P.s Sorry I don't have any pictures again!!!! :P I left my camera at home AGAIN!! :(

Anyways, TTYL!!!

Sunday!

Well today was Sunday!! I was waiting and waiting all week long for it to come!! Sunday's are just sooooo AWESOME!!!! We weren't able to get there till lunch that was kinda a bummer.... So I went put my stuff in the bathroom & visited for a lil bit! Then...I went to the music session thingy, and that lasted about an 1hr & 10mins something like that!

I was supposed to have nursery...but there were no kids!! And I'm actually really glad that I was able to be in the service!! Joe preached a GREAT message!!!! It really convicted me in some areas! The main point of the message and what really convicted me was that God isn't after a life of sacrifices..but a obedient& surrendered heart! And that if we choose not to obey are parents, authority's or anyone we're actually disobeying God!

And what God ultimately wants is a obedient & surrendered heart!

So that's what really convicted me...having a obedient & totally surrendered heart. So I decided to to just surrender my heart & life to God,having a heart of obedience, and having no will of my own! And just to abandon myself to Jesus Christ! I loved the invitation song "Take My Life, And Let It Be" It was very fitting for the message!

Well the last thought that I'm going to leave you with is that We can all surrender! And by His grace we can give ourselves to Him!!And that if you have not trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior then I encourage you to do so today! Because you don't know if you'll have tomorrow to! And then 2 verses that most of us have heard a lot..but today it just really stood out to me more & convicted me!

Romans 12:1-2
" I beseech you therefore brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

I hope this encouraged you as much as it did me!

I'll probably post about playtime tomorrow or something, cause it's getting kinda late & well I'm tired!! So Ttyl! God Bless!
