A New Year!!!! *Blows horn*

Well, It is now 2009. i am glad becasue I have been thinking it was 2009 for the last month or so. When I go to look back on a year i can only seem to go back six months becuase even though the year passes quickly, alot happens. I will see if I can go back through all 12 months and give sumary of what I thought was importent to me.

in Feb. I turned 17, and spent a nice time with my friends. I was finnishing up Classical liturature, and philosophy. Summer hit and I was very busy. We had quite the campot trip, which I wrote of earlier. I went to Luisianna, and at the end of summer our new exchange students joined us and we took them with us to gleanings for the hungery. I started new classes, my best friend started College. I took another SAT, and I began the best class I have ever done, Apologetics. I believe this class has been the highlight of the year. through this class I have been able to learn more about my wonderful savior who has touched me in so many ways. I love learning about Him in a way that will benifit me all my life, and allow me to have an answer for my faith, so I can be a better witness.

I love each year God gives us, they each have lessons to give us, and each one holds something new that the last one did not.

this year I am sure will be even more streaching than the last, though without this last year, i do not believe i would be ready for this year. I thank the Lord for His timing. He knows when we need to learn what lesson, what friends we will need, ect,.

I hope you all have a blessed new year and that you all would grow in the ways god is moving you this year.

On Saturday some friends and I went to the chocolate Fest at the forestry center. It was cool, we ate lots of chocolate, until we could eat no more, then we went home! I was alittle under the weather, and I don't think it helped to be walking out in the slush, yes it was slush. And It got all in my shoes, and my feet got cold. Any way, I was sick the next day. Atleast i still got to go to the chocolate Fest, but then i was sick for a few days. It was awful. I am still a bit under the weather, but i think I will be all better in a day or so. I was so worried about school, but Thankfully God has been helping me stay allert so I can focus. Well I should go and get back to that. Till next time,

New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I cannot believe It is 2008 already! Wow! We stayed up and watched National Tresure, then My parents went to bed but we stayed up and watched 'The Christmas Shoes'. I cried! I love that movie. I am listening to the music right now. The song that the movie is based on is on my my music player below. the movie finished one minuet before the new year. So we counted down and then screemed "Happy New Year" and tosted with our sparkling cider! I hope you all had a wonderful new year.
