Theme Music
Sometimes i wish that i had theme music for everyday , boring tasks. It would make life much more interesting don't you think? Just think, you are at work, cleaning toilets, shoveling dirt, or whatever you do, and all of a sudden there is music playing JUST for you and everyone applauds you for the great work. Yes i think it would be pretty neat to have theme music, like have a live band follow you everywhere making music for everything you do. But then again things would seem dull , so it would have to be random. That's my thought for the day :)

The Start of a new year, yet again
It never ends... new years always come, old ones go away. And yet with each new number for a new year we have goals, plans, and the next year looks so exciting. It's been a year since i started writing my blog, and boy has life brought me some adventure, sadness, and joy. I've lost friends to death, gained new ones, lived in arkansas, and Virginia. Traveled well over 5 states. And, Got engaged. I am now living in Jackson tn to plan my July 2nd wedding. Plans are coming along, the dress picked out and a general idea of what i want. But i pray that i won't "stress" out like i usually do in situations of decision making. While at home it's also a time to spend with my family and friends, and gain my health back (from working in a day care you get sick a lot and your immune system goes poop) . I'm excited about what this year will bring, How God will work in my life to minister to others, and about getting married to my best friend Josiah!
God has blessed me with so much , i could thank him for the rest of my life and it still not be enough. I am so undeserving of His love, His mercy. Why would He , the God of the Universe LOVE me? I mean He calls me His child. He guides me, and when i mess up His mercy is never ending. Thank you God for loving ME. I have a new outlook for this year, my goal is to know Him better, to have a better everyday relationship with my Creator. I'm very excited about this. I pray that His love may shine through me onto others.
I would like to thank all of you who read my blog. THANKS for your support! And keep reading my blog!

I'm moving again!
Well i'm packing up my bags and going to head to this place called Jackson Tn. Yes, i am moving back. Why? well first off i need to get in school or save money for school and i can't do that when i'm living off part time and paying rent. Being under my parents roof again will allow me to save more money , and plan a wedding for October without being long distance. Friday will be my last day at the day care. I will be back in jackson for 2 weeks before Christmas working with American Access ( where my dad works). Then i will fly back before Christmas, pack up and move after Christmas. Josiah will be driving with me down there , then flying back a few days after. So that is why i will be so busy during December.

2 years traveling and serving God
This post is dedicated to the places where my family and i dedicated our time and labor in the 2 years we were missionaries in the U.S.A. Some of the places have changed, some are the same. It brings back good memories, bad memories, and the times where God grew my family close together, and closer to Him.
We started at Jenness Park ( http://www.jennesspark.com/ )
We spent 2 summers here. The longest we ever stayed at one place during the 2 years.
El Nathan Christian Camp, (http://elnathanaz.org/ ) We spent 2 weeks here. It is located on the side of mt. Elden. We had to look out for mountain lions a lot, and when it rained you could find broken pottery from where the indians 100's of years ago would go to the top to break pots as a religious practice. The camp ministered to the Navajo Indians, and i got to see first hand what the reservation looked like.

Navajo reservation
Next on the list is Camp Cordova located in Memphis Tn (Cordova Tn.) It is now called "The Grove at Red Lake" (http://www.mygrove.org/#galleryimages/10.jpg) .
Then there is Glorieta conference center in New Mexico. A beautiful place, where it snowed at odd times of the year. (http://glorietaconferencecenter.org/)
Next is Camp Redcloud in Colorado (http://www.campredcloud.org/ ). Here is where my brother , a friend of ours, and i hiked up a mountain, got lost, ran out of water, and finally found our way back after 6 hours, all to see a bat cave we couldn't reach. I also got to ride horses up to the continental divide.
And finally, Wycliffe Translators and campus crusade for Christ. (http://www.wycliffe.org/ ) . We spent our final months on the road in Orlando florida, where i met 2 of my best friends, Hallie Martin, and Josiah Tillett ( who i'm going to Marry!)

Autumn
It is now starting to feel like fall. The leaves are changing, the weather is cooler, and there are less bugs! On October 1st 2011 (Lord willing!) i will be getting married! I still cannot believe that i am engaged! The fun part now, is planning a wedding.
Living in Lynchburg has been interesting. Kind of a mix between nice, and not so nice. Like not having my close friends near me, or any family. But i have Josiah , and i am starting to get to know some people here, it just takes time. One really bad thing, is my job. Everyday i wish i could walk out and quit. Everyday i wish that i didn't have to go to work. It's not that i HATE what i do, but rather i cannot stand to work with racist people. And then they are unusually "nice" to you after they find out how you feel. I feel as if i'm just being used and that the time will come when i'm no longer needed and i'll be tossed out. Well anyways that's how i feel.
Well i'm going to keep praying for a full time job. And enjoy the autumn breeze.
