I was tagged by Jana . My six word memoir goes like this... "My Life is in His Hands" What can I say? It says it all in those six little words. That is so true about my life. I am not saying I have totally given up all control because sometimes flesh will win out, but I have let God know that no matter what comes my way (stole that line from Jana :P), and no matter what happens, or where I go my life is finally in His hands. I am tired of trying to MAKE my life happen. It is not worth it, as I have already ran into so many speed bumps that have jolted me so hard. So I need to give the wheel back to its rightful owner! I am tagging: Sarrah at The Most Happennest Place on Earth Heather at Header's Hangout and Jarron just to see if he would do it!! Here are the rules: 1. Write your own six word memoir 2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want 3. Link to the person who tagged you in your post 4. Tag at least 3 more blogs 5. Leave a comment on the ...

Well my first week of school is done!!! Technically it is the SECOND week of school though. The first week happened while I was in Indiana, but I talked to all my professors prior to leaving. I'm so glad it is over. The first day I had quizzes I didn't know about so I wasn't prepared for, but the professor of that class wonderfully told me to come early to the next class and makeup both!! He is so nice. The rest of my classes went just as well. I unfortunately had to add another class last minute which is a night class :( So now on Monday and Wednesdays I am at the school from 9 am to about 8 pm (unless the teacher is really cool and will let us out early each time :P). But all in all I'm okay with it, even though I missed church last night. But because of this, I have a LOT of homework in each class. One 8-10 page paper, one 7-8 page paper, 4 or 5 3 page papers and quizzes every class for some. But what makes all of that SO WORTH IT is........ I registered Monday to ...

All I can say is.... WOW!!! Indiana was wonderful! I loved being there so much. I could go back right now and be happy. I met such wonderful people and made some new friends. People back there think I'm crazy... hmph what do you think of that?? I really did have a good time. And not only did I have fun just hanging out with the young people there, but the classes for Festival were so good for me. I especially loved the beginning organ class. It gave me the "want to" to start playing the organ again. I learned so much and got so many good ideas for Children's Choir and so many new songs for Worship and Specials. It was just so much fun. The highlights of the Fesival were the night concerts. You just had to be there (or have gone in the past) to know what I mean.... You just felt so awed by it all! And seeing my brothers on the platform was also wonderful! Well here are some pictures showing you our (my mom, aunt Carlene, Nicole, Sarah and ME)experience in Indiana.

I'm so very excited!!! We are in Indiana. Ok so I am not as excited as I was Sunday night because we haven't really had a lot to do because we did not get an extra vehicle til today!!! So Sarah and I have been lounging around Indiana Bible College, so much so that a feel people asked if we ever move from the student lobby!! Oh well. Lol But as of right now I am sitting in our motel room which is relatively small being that there are FIVE of us sleeping in here! Nicole and my mom both flew in today, a few hours apart, they are in here with Sarah, my Aunt Carlene and ME! But we will have so much fun. I tried to post my pictures on here last night, but the IBC dorms have some weird lock on the internet and wouldn't let me post on my blog!!! And then I just now realized I left my SD adapter in one of our new friends room. Ok... I am rambling... I'll stop. Especially since it's 1:16 am here and I prob should go to bed because Music Festival starts TOMORROW!!!!! Oh dear. ...

We had so much fun last night. Our church had a really good service. We invited churches from around here and from out of the area. Bro. Bertrum preached and did an AWESOME job. I love hearing him sing and preach. Then last night we went to the skating rink in Ontario and played broomball. A friend asked me what it was and it's kinda hard to explain, but you play "hockey"/"soccer" on the ice. You have a medium sized rather hard (especially when you get hit in the face) ball and most people have these broom shaped sticks and they hit the ball around trying to make a point in their goal. Here are some pictures. Enjoy!!!

Wow... I didn't realize how long it's been since I've posted. The original reason I stopped is because certain people decided to be jealous and for every little thing that happened they would say you should make a post on that. HMPH! Lol... But needless to say, it's also been a VERY Busy month. I'm finishing my quarter this month (finals are this week actually) and have been at our church's play practice, other practices and outreach almost every night I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of the Winter quarter for me. I start my Spring Quarter while I'm at Music Festival (uh oh... lol good thing the professors like me and have given me the syllabus for each class)Speaking of Music Festival... I can't wait!!! In 10 days (if I did my math right that should be March 30th lol) I will be in Indianapolis!!!! YAY!!!! I haven't even picked out or bought the clothes I'll wear yet I've had no time!!! I wanted to this week but can't cuz we...

Well, as you know, my beautiful friends Sarah and Nicole live in the Fresno area and I don't always get to see them. Thankfully, they have allowed me to come see them and stay in their house, and they have come to see me (ONCE!!! lol). We have so much fun and I miss them so much when I'm not around them. So if you see me texting (which you will 98% of the time).... Most likely it's going to be one of them, or quite possibly BOTH!!!! So, these two surprised me by asking what I was doing the next weekend. As it turned out, they were going to be in Santa Clarita which is only a little over an hour away from me! So I asked Jennifer if she would go and we headed up there Saturday morning and went shopping with the girls!!! We were there from about 2 (well they got there around 3 so Jenn and I walked and talked and looked til they got there) until 7. We had so much fun and ate too much too lol. I can't wait til I get to see them again. I so wish I had taken a picture of Nico...
