Amazing Commercial. Will make you want to cry

Mighty to Save

Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a saviour
the hope of nations

Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and falilures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everthing I believe in
Now I surrender
(I surrender)

Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine your light and
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
of the risen King
Jesus

Shine your light and
let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
of the risen King

Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

Shine your light and
let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
of the risen King
Jesus

This is hilarious, watch to the end, ignore the bad quality. WORTH IT!!

Today

Ok, so today was weird. English went pretty went, except for the fact that when I sat down in my desk, I kind of almost knocked it over!! A little emabrrassing, totally something only I can do. Talent, peoples, talent! In algebra, Tiwe told me that I left my pencill bag back in the computer lab, so I ran out of the door on the wat to the computer lab, because I only had 2 minutes until class started. As I flew out the door, and ran STRAIGHT into Luke, almost knocked both of us down. It was soo funny! Everyone was rolling!!

At supper (like I say, weird things ALWAYS happen at supper, although at Weimar, weird things are pretty normal), I sat down at this huge square table where Luke, Random Asian, Smiley, Josh, Canada, and Joel were sitting. Yes, all guys. I sat on one side table and ALL the guys squished into the other, with only Random Asian and Smiley on the sides. And they all stared at me. It was slightly uncomfortable, but I didn't really care, I'm used to guys, I'm pretty much a tomboy. Well, I guess the girls felt sorry for me, because they all just at one time came and sat down with me. They hilarious thing was, ALL the guys just got up and left, as fast as possible, making up weird excuses that didn't make sense. Wow! Every single one!!!! I was laughing soo hard!! Us girls are INTIMIDATING to guys!!! (the funny thing is, I wasn't intimidated by the guys. I guess guys don't effect us girls like that!! :D)

Wow, weird things happen to me. Is that normal? Or am I just blonde and clumsy? But, God made me this way, so I won't complain!!

My favorite BIble verse

Stop and think. Who can straighten things out better than God?

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Clear Word



This is my favorite verse, because when everything is mixed up in my mind–what I believe, how I view myself, how others view me–or if things aren't going well, I go back to this verse.

I was going through a rough time in my life, and I was just flipping through the Bible, and I just HAPPENED to turn to Ecclesiastes (this little out of the way book) and  my eyes fell on that verse. THANK YOU JESUS!!! I wrote it on a sticky-note (what would I do without them??), and stuck it on my lampshade, to look at often.

Right now, I'm going through kind of a rough time adjusting to my new school, and that verse has helped me tremenously. I especially love the way the Clear Word Translation puts it, right down to the point.

I hope this verse will help you, like it has me.

Wow I need to keep you guys updated!!

Yah, I haven't written anything about what's going on in a while! So, Saturday night at Weimar Academy the girls had a spa night. It was a surprise, nobody knew except the staff. It was amazing!!! We all got pedi's and mani's and got a facial. You should have seen our faces! Jannet and England looked like they were from Mars, Rosie looked like she was asian, Lizzy looked.....um never mind, and I FINALLY had a tan!!! Haha. It was soo relaxing, thank you staff!!

Monday was an absolutely TERRIBLE day for me. I got four 0's in English, I wasn't getting along with one of my friends, Dee and Gina were expelled, and Elisa tore something in her knee. Bad day........

Tuesday was better, home-leave started after work. Elisa is staying with me, by the way. I rode Silver, and had a group lesson with Tes and Silly (the pony, not human :D). It was fun!

Wednesday wasn't so great either, because Elisa had to go to the orthopedic surgeon and get her knee checked out. We waited in that waiting room for two hours - AUGH. We found out Elisa might have to have surgery (I hope not!!!). After that Elisa had an MRI. The only good thing was we had Chipotle!!!

Yesterday (Thursday) was a little better. Elisa went to the Weimar Clinic and got crutches, and then we went to the music room. We met up wth Chloe and chilled for a while. Then we went to the caf, and met up with Marcel, and had a HILARIOUS time!!! I don't have enough room to tell about that though :). Then, Ellisa went with Chloe to hang out and eat, and I had a rinding lesson. I jumped, it was fun other then the beginning, when I was lunging Silver, she crashed through a jump. Not good.......

Well, today we are house-hunting. Please pray for Elisa and me, that we don't get too bored!!! :(

My day yesterday



Ok, so yesterday at supper I was sitting next to Elisa, and across the table from England, Smiley, and Josh. I wasn't paying attention to what they were talking about before this—too busy concentrating on my half smoothie half peanut butter—but I entered the conversation when they were talking about Finding Nemo. Haha, we have dumb conversations. I also had a hilarious and embarrassing moment we wont talk about. Actually, I wasn't too embarrassed, I was laughing too hard.

We had outreach and I partnered with Blondie. We got the Lukens house and were walking down to their house when I realized I had NO idea what we were doing and why we were doing it. I asked Blondie and she didn't know either. We were just given a name—the Lukens—and told to go there. Well, we arrived at their house and found out Ashley had given Celis and Gina the same house. So, we asked them what on EARTH we were doing and Celis (being an experienced Senior who knew EXACTLY what do, unlike us down in the dust Freshman) informed us that we were asking the family a random, interesting, exotic thing (I've only heard of exotic fruit, so inside my head I'm wondering what fruit has to do with this) about themselves. I asked Celis why, and I guess her Senior wisdom only goes so far, because after 48 seconds of fumbling around for an answer, she admitted she had none. Thanks a lot Celis. Anyway, she importantly cleared her throat and notified us that we also were going to ask for prayer requests. We also notified her that SHE was the one asking for the random, interesting, exotic (I still don't get what it has to do with fruit...) thing and the prayer requests. She said ok, and rang the doorbell......and knocked on the door........and rang the door bell 3 times.......and knocked (ok pounded) again. We decided they either weren't home, or they didn't want to talk, so I gave them the great idea of going next door to the Jackson's. On the way there, we decided we were going to ask them how Mr. popped the question. We got there and rang the doorbell, and Adam promptly answered. We asked for his parents, but they weren't home. So we decided to "outreach" to him. Thinking that he probably hadn't popped the question to anybody yet (and wouldn't for a WHILE), Celis asked him to give her an exotic fact about himself (for some reason she left out random and interesting......I'll NEVER get Seniors). He couldn't think of anything except that he was from Tasmania. Unfortunately though, because Gina thought that was SOOOO cool, and wouldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the night (don't worry, we still love you Gina!). Talisa (Adam's sis) walked up than and we asked the two if they had any prayer requests. Talisa asked for prayer for her MCAT (please pray for her, I'm praying!!) and school in general, and Talisa informed Adam he needed prayer for his mission trip. After Blondie prayed for the MCAT, school in general, and Adam's mission trip, we awkwardly made up an excuse to leave and left.

We had to talk up front about our "outreaching", so we walked up and Celis related (in her important "Senior voice") about our experience, and Adam's random, interesting, exotic fact about himself. Blondie told the people about the MCAT and the mission trip prayer requests. As we left I also had to (or my conscience would kill me for the rest of my life) tell that Adam also wanted prayer for "school in general", so I awkwardly called out as I was going back to my seat "and school in general!". Ahh, my conscience is happy.

That night we played dare-base. Ok, they played dare-base, because I just stood in the field and tried desperately to find someone who would tell me how to play. Nobody would, so I still don't know how to play.

Draw your on conclusions, but my personal opinion is Weimar Academy is weird, but it rocks.

Weird things always happen at supper

Ok, so at supper last night Luke threw this piece of plastic on my tray. To get back at him (cause that's what I do....) I threw the plastic in his cup of milk. He glared at me and said he was gonna get me back good. He leaned over and whispered something to someone and that someone started laughing, along with Elisa. That scared me BAD, cause Luke knows something I don't want people to know (let's not go there), and I thought he had just told that person. I knew I had to get out of there, so I pretended I needed to go to the restroom and walked out of the room (ok, maybe not as slowly as I implied). I stayed in bathroom for about 10 minutes, swearing I wasn't EVER coming out. Elisa and Jannet were acting like they were about to cry, they were going to miss me soo much (really they were probably verrry happy.....). Finally I decided to face the world so I slowly walked (ok, not THAT slow...) pass the table and ran out the door. After vainly trying to get Lizzy to tell me what makes Luke REEEALLY mad, I finally came back in. Luke told me that that's NOT what he told the person (to my relief) and that he hadn't even thought of that (I dont believe him!!!). I looked down at my tray and there was this bowl of popcorn filled with milk. I told Luke I appreciated the popcorn (it wasnt mine, I dont like Weimar popcorn) but no thanks. After graciously giving it back to him (well kinda graciously), I continued eating in peace. Well, until I pulled a piece of tinfoil out of my soup.......and finished my soup........and pulled a SHEET off tinfoil out from my bread........and decided I was too scared to eat anymore........and left the caf. I saw Lizzy and Elisa rollinig on the floor laughing, and since I REALLY needed a laugh about then, so I asked them what they were laughing about. To make a long story short, Luke had dumped the WHOLE THING OF SALT IN MY SOUP!!!! And I ate all the soup!! And it finally tasted good-around here they dont believe in salt!! Well, this probably goes without saying, but i am SO getting back at Luke!!!! Any ideas?????????????????????

In God We Still Trust

Place your hand on the Bible, and you swear to tell the truth. HIs name is on our greatest monuments and all our money too. And when we pledge allegiance, there's no doubt where we stand. There's no seperation, we're one nation under HIm! 

In God we still trust, here in America! He's the one we turn to, every time the going gets rough! He is the source, of all our strength, the One who watches over us. Here in America, in God we still trust.

There are those among us, who want to push Him out. And erase His name from everything this country's all about! From the schoolhouse, to the courthouose, we're silincing HIs Word. And now it's time for all believers, to make our voices heard!!!!!

In God we still trust, here in America! He's the one we turn to, every time the going gets rough! He is the source, of all our strength, the One who watches over us. Here in America, in God we still trust.

Here in America, IN GOD WE STILL TRUST!!!!
