I stayed the night at my grandmas last night:) She went to the hospital yesterday to see my great aunt patty and she was swollen and it reminded my grandma of my grandpa and it really upset her:( so she couldnt stay back there. So she was really nervous and upset so my sister and i went and cheered her up:) she always says we make her happy when we are over there and is always begging us to come. She is not your usual grandma:) hehe. she is hilarous and does somethings that are insanely crazy and she loves everyone so much and she is a big Christian and someone i love being around. she knows always what to say and i wuv her:) haha. But anyways my other great aunt is sick so she called last night and my grandma told her we would get her groceries for her. Ever tried grocery shopping for someone else?? haha. its kinda hard. so she called and i wrote down everything she needed. and then we get to warehouse and i never knew they had so many different kinds of vegetable, chicken noodle, and tomato soup???? like there were tons. and i think the lady who was stocking them noticed and thank God she was there cause she was like um... i think you might want the original and then we talked to her for a minute and she helped us:). So by the time we leave it is raining right?? okay. well i got a two door car. and i had my sister my grandma and my uncle in it. so here I am trying to help my grandma in the back seat and putting all the groceries up.. and of course were all just laughing:). but get this.. they didnt have orange crush at warehouse??? now they had diet orange crush but they dont carry regular???idk. so we had to go to piggly wiggly again in the rain:) then we went to take it all to my great aunts and we get there and she is like extremely sick she cant even make it to take her garabage out:( so my sister and i put up her groceries and take out the garabage while my grandma finally gets her to where she said yes to going to the doctor. so of course we cant all fit in my car so we all have to wait on my paretns to get there and they take her. and then on the way home I take the wrong road??? but i figure out where I am. and then we have to go all the way to the vnw and back to taco bell?? ha.
Then finally they call and say they are trying there best to keep her out of staying in the hospital and she will just have to come back for a shot tom. and in the meantime of this my other great aunt is being moved to princeton.. cause she is randomly screaming:(.
But they called tonight and i dont think they moved her but they said she has possible brain damage. but i think she is responding some thank God:). but its been kinda tough holidays for that side of our family.. so please keep them in your Prayers.
Anyways so i totally just described my day to all you guys??? and idk. why.
but guess what??? i learned how to play part of the song falling slowly:) it sounds pretty good.
Anyways i am going to bed in a bit:) night
God is hope.

Excercise:) ha
Only one more week until we have to go back to school:(
i wish it was months longer. but o well:)
a few weeks after we start back softball practice will begin.... and that has its good and bads of course. Cause well um.... we run like crazy and it takes up so much time i feel like i dont have a life and it is just the same routine every day. wakeup.. get ready... breakfast... school....softball... homework... supper... go to bed. Haha. no lie that is my everyday schedule during the season. But it also has the plus of the fact that hey i get back in shape:) and it keeps me busy so i dont really have time to think about everything:)
Well im not in as great of shape as i used to be.. ha. because last night my sister and I decided we were going to work out and stretch:) sounds great right?? well it ended up lasting like an hour and a half. and we laughed so hard the whole time that i think that was half the reason i was sore this morning ha. We stretched alot and it was so funny cause my sister used to be like a rubber band she was so flexible when we both took gymnastics.. and now since we dont take anymore and i am still in cheerleading i am more flexible than she is and she can hardly stretch at all. She was like woah.. i used to be good at this and i sat on her back while she was stretching and i still couldnt push her down ha so ya we laughed forever.
Then we did these workouts called deaddgos.. Sounds insane right??? well when the wallace cheerleaders made us do them this summer i thought they were too. and its for your abs. and you put both feet and arms straight up in the air and you lower your right arm down above your head kinda like your raising your hand if you were standing up to where it is parallel with the ground and you hold it for a minute.. then you go back to dead dog (all fours straight in the air haha). then you do the same with the left arm.. then the same with the right leg.. then the left leg... then you do both arms while the whole time your legs are still staright in the air.. then you do both legs straight out like an inch or two above the ground. (OUCH!!!) with your arms in the air.. then the last one is the killer you do all four.. so basically stretched out except you have your legs and arms like an inch or two off the ground:) and you have to push your tummy to your spine cause if you dont your back comes off the ground and its not so pleasant:).
Anyways then we held the plank for a bit.. and i did frog jumps:) i love those things. and we did leg kicks.
It was fun:) and honestly my legs hurt so bad today.
i wish it was months longer. but o well:)

When God Writes Your Love Story:)
So last year around this time our Sunday School class was doing a study from a book called Lies Young Women Believe.
Before I read this book and participated in the class i thought i knew honestly what being a Christian was and I thought i had everything right. Pshhh.. well.. lets just say i was totally wrong. and honestly still today i dont have it all down pat but im working on it and Striving each day to grow closer to God!!
Anyways the book talked about lies dealing with... Im not pretty enough.. God isnt enough... Lies about guys any lie you could think of that a young women would think of was in that book. But it encountered the lies with TRUTH!!!:)
So our Pastors wife taught the class with some help and She had already taught it in Ohio when they were Pastors there:) but anyways she told us lots of other books that we should read. and there was a website in the book Lies Young Women Believe and it was a blog. So many times in the past months i have went to it and read all kinds of stuff and one day i was on there and looking at their store and i found a bunch of the books she was talking about so i went to amazon and told my mom them and some more that i found that were from the same author and she got them for me for Christmas.
The first one I chose to read is called When God Writes Your Love Story:)
This book is by far the greatest book i have read it even tops Lies Young Women Believe. I honestly cant put it down.
It is written by a man and woman and it is their love story... but it has questions its kindof like a study.
The first part talks about how him and her both like many people today jump from relationship to relationship trying to find security and peace.. and then when the relationship ends they seem like they have lost it. While all the while God is our Security and Peace. and I can relate to this book in many ways.( besides the fact that i have not dated much in my life... because i do not wanna date someone just to have a boyfriend:))
Farther in the book it talks about How God is the Author Of Romance and Love. and The Creator of The Universe:) And it explains how God has a plan for each and everyone of us. and that we must give God the pen and let Him write our Love story for us if we want to experience True Romance and Love. and Then it goes on to explain how many of Us Christians submit to God and say okay I am turning it over to you God it is all Yours and then when that person doesnt come into our lifes when we think they should.. we start trying to make our own formula. and we have to fully Trust Him. and even though we say that we have Given it all to Him... we sometimes have those parts of our Lives that we put off limits to God!! and we need to take time To Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to show us those areas of our life.. and the things that stand in the way like our atttitudes... etc.
Last night the chapter I read was talking about how Eric(the man) had turned His Love life over to God. and when his guy friends would all get together and talk about girls when they asked him was there a special someone in his life?? He kinda mumbled under his breath umm.. im leaving it up to God. and then he finally became Bold and asked God for the Strength to turn it all over to Him because God did not ask us to turn everything to Him on our own.. No!! He gave us his stength.. Because HIS STRENGTH IS MADE PERFECT IN OUR WEAKNESS!! (part of yesterdays sermon haha).
But something that really hit me last night when I was reading. Was the fact that he said to stop and think that the person you are going to marry is right now walkign on this earth and at the very moment is doing something... and he said to stop and think about that unless of course they are not born yet. But that was kinda crazy thinking about it.. I was like WOW!! and then he goes on to say talk about Purity and how Christians today have turned the Word of God around and made it to fit todays world.. and that is just getting out of the Word and not listening to God.. and then He goes on to say that some of the Christian world today is saying even though sex needs to be for married people.. only that it may be hard for some people in this world today to wait and that that is okay(WHAT???). Then he quotes the scriptures where God speaks about Purity:)
Then he goes back to talking about the fact that the person we are gonna marry is walkign the earth today.. and he explains how it was a friday night and he began to wonder what his future wife was doing... and he pictured her with another guy and his arm was around her and he leaned into kiss her... and then Eric explained how he got furious... and then that was when God spoke to him and said, "Eric if you desire for your wife to be pure.. dont you think she desires the same thing in you??"
Thats pretty deep:) and i really like it. because i have learned so far from this book. that the very guy i will someday marry could be walking this at the moment. and what if he could hear my every thought, see my every action, and hear my every word.. Would he be honored and adored??? or would he be sad and upset. So like eric says we should Keep our Hearts, mind , and body pure not only for our future spouse sake but also to glorify God;)
Also the book talks about Do we obey God because it seems like a chore like we have to do it to stay under His Grace??? or do we do it out of Love for our King??? Hmmm...
Before you start to fall in love with someone. You must fall into Head Over Heels LOVE for God:)
And that involves Romancing with the King of Kings everyday(as in reading the Word and not only for a few seconds here and there, and talking and listening to God.)
Once you fall In Love with God.. then everything you do will be out of joy and privelege and Love for Him:)
After all we arent on this earth to glorify ourselves.. But in EVERYTHING we do bring Glory to our King and Father.
If you do that you will truly know the true meaning of love and romance.
THIS BOOK IS BEYOND AMAZING!!!

Then during the service she had a notebook and a a pen and she opened it up and there was a picture of her and a girl really really long hair... and then she started drawing and she kept looking at me and i just smile:)
then she started showing me her star she kept drawing and then she would write draw 25 things. and i would draw 25 smiley faces:) then she kept going and she would grade me. it was so cute:)

Here is the picture of what I made each of them:) A picture frame and yep. i made it all by myself. I painted everything and drilled the holes. glued the frame.. did it all:) (but in this picture the ribbon coming from the hole on the left side was cut before i gave it to her;)) it was lots of fun making it myself. 
My mom really liked them so I made one for my grandma and Ill post it later:) and now I am making a blanket for my bestest friend chase:) hehe. my cousins laugh at me cause on Thanksgiving I was crocheting when they all walked in. haha. I taught myself how and Its just fun to do and keeps me busy:)

Christmas;)
So this week my mother had a Christmas party in her classroom and I checked out and went and helped:)
I have been in her class alot this year and every time I walk in the door someone hugs me or says my name:)
But anyways this one little boy is so cute and i honestly fell in love with him the first week of school:)
this football season my mom took him to a football game and he came home with us before it.
and he was in our basement playing and my mom and i were down there with him and he was playing with some handheld weights and he layed them across each other like a Cross. and he was like Mrs. Fowler why did Jesus die on the Cross?? it was so sad. and then he was like why did them men beat Him like that?? and we talked to him for a little bit.
and then he decided he could play the piano and he showed my mom and we videoed him it was so cute. then since my mom plays the piano at Church she showed him and he just watched:)
then we went to eat before the game and he had never been in mcdonalds:( and you can imagine how that went he went crazy nonstop takling inside and wouldnt eat. hehe
But at the game he was so sweet and got to play with a bunch of friends from school and then he went to the sidelines and our Youth pastor happened to be down there and the little boy was yeling at a football player so our youth pastor got the players attention and he turned around and talked to him for a second.
it was so sad having to take him home:(
But both his parents work and they have 4 kids all under the age of 9 and she works at a restaurant but doesnt get tips.
And at the Christmas party he started crying and I couldnt take it:( I was trying to hold in my tears cause there were people all around. and finally i tried to thnk of other things then i walked over too him and helped him get his present out and he got happy:) and he looked at me and was like are you my friend?? aw:) he is so sweet.
Another little boys parents didnt come and he was sitting by hisself and wouldnt eat so i told my mom i would sit with and she asked him if he would let me so i sat there and listened to him talk about everything:) sometimes all we all need is someoone to just give us a few minutes of attention:)
I can honestly say that I realized how extremely blessed I am:) I take so much for granted such as going in mcdonalds to eat. and there are other kids who can barely get food on the table. I know without a doubt if i didnt get anything I wanted for the rest of my life I would be completely satisfied:) I thank God everyday for everything and the chance to Live For HIM!!!!
*** this Christmas I was talking to a little boy and asked him for what he wanted for Christmas and he said a gameboy and he told me a bunch of times... and then one day it hit me that I had a gameboy that was a step down from the newest one and about 20 something games to go with it.. so i asked my mom and my sister got it all together and my mother is giving it to his mom and telling him it was ours but they have also a bunch of people have pitched in money to help. But i told my mom to tell her that I didnt want them to know it was from me. So they are giving them to the parents to give to their kids:) my sister gave hers too and it feels amazing knowing that you can make a difference in someones life.
I still am not sure what I want to major in when I get in college. Many times I have thought about accounting because I love math. But honestly I love kids and being around them and I would love to be able to take in a bunch of kids who are taken from their families and do not have a family and I would love to be able to give them anything to make them happy:) and I would love to share Christ with them and take them to Church. and make their lifes to where they know they are worth something and that someone loves them. and I would love to give them a safe place to live and they would not have to be scared. If that is all possible????? just something i have thought about for awhile.
God is love:)
Semester Tests

But i got up and went to town to shop with my granmda for a bit:) then i came home and did some homework and then got ready and that night i went to the Cullman High School fair queen pageant. with Anthony. Brad and hannah:) we had lots of fun. ( but get this??? we all looked at the bulletin thing and just randomly picked a winner and what do you know... I picked the winner before we even saw the girls. and they was all changing their numbers when they saw the girls but i just stuck with my first guess;) by the way they owe me a dollar a peice haha.) THen afterwards we went to Lupes and were the only ones in there. So we took anthony and brad to brads house and lets just say that was a fun trip cause my car is itty bitty but I love it:) and two big boys in the car was so funny ecspecially brad:) but anyways we left them and then me and hannah decided to go to the rodeo:) and we didnt have to pay and watched a bit of it:) By far it was a good night.
Sunday:)
IT was a bIG day!!! Our YOuth perfomed that night "Code Red". So we stayed after Church and went to eat with the Youth Group then we all went back to the Church and practiced til the next Service:)
The play was amazing. At times the guys would make you laugh insanely then the next they would have you in awe:)
We sang a bunch of songs and i can say by far our Chuch is blessed with an amazing Youth and Adult Choir:) the adult Choir is huge.
But anyways me and my sister were suppost to be nuns but we decided not to and we sat in the choir and sang instead:) By far it was one of the greatest Christmas plays i have been in
Of course as you know this week was semester exam week:(
But me being the nerd I am haha Nah!!
but really i studied like crazy.
I had little tests on Monday and Tuesday
Tuesday I had a discussion test on the book "The Ultimate Gift" (amazing book btw)
and I also had a math test.
But monday night I stayed up and did my whole entire math study guide for the semester test.
Then that test was wednesday along with my history final. And I made a perfect 100 on the math final:) and the history i am almost positive i made the same:)

the english i am pretty confident about but the anatomy final i bombed. (but that class is a mess of because of certain things at our school)

God is true love:)
This is the busiest week of my life by far.But im takin each day at a time:)
only one more week almost til we are out of school:)
Our varsity boys won tonight in overtime against westpoint.
I fell getting off the bleachers and have a huge knot on my knee:(
the funniest thing was that it made a loud noise but i wasnt sure if anyone noticed so i kept walking acting like nothing happened til i started limping cause it hurt so bad haha.
It was quite funny everyone laughed when it was all over with:)
So it has been raining pretty much all day:) and i love the rain. so im good with that.
ecpsecially on a day like today. I get up and just wear lazy clothes to school:) pshh.. when do i ever get dressed up for school??? haha nah. every now and then i do:) But also the rain ment no softball practice... in the cold:)
Anyways life has been kindof stressful for me hear lately:( but God will bring you to it if He knows He can get you through it:) we are reading this book called the ultimate gift in english:) it is actually a really good book.. it helps you appreciate life and everything in it. We have had to do a project on it every day this week.. which hasnt been so fun. but honestly i got something out of them:)
1st project: write your will (now that one was a bit unnecesssary??? )
2nd project: you were given $1,500.00 and you had to give it to someone who would benefit and write a 4 paragraph paper on it:) I liked this one.
Wanna know who I gave it to????? hmm...
So.. I gave it to the Young Minds Charity in UK!!! it is a charity for mentally ill children:) I explained how it related to me in the fact that my mom was a special education teacher for many years and my uncle also is slightly handicapped and this has made me very aware of how precious life truly is:) Also i explained how being able to work with the handicapped children last month made me realize how blessed i truly am:) THis charity is for the well-being and health of mentally ill children and their parents and a career:) I explained how I hoped the money would bring a smile to a childs face who someday down the road recieves a job and realizes that their life is of value:) it kind of made me sad while i was writing it:(
3rd Project: Write 40 things you are thankful for (2o abstract and 20 concrete) then write 2 letters to 2 people of whom have been responsible for those things.:)
I wrote my first letter to my family... for showing me the true meaning of family and that I hoped to someday have a family of my own and be able to share the true meaning of family with them.
The second letter I wrote to God:) I wrote to Him thanking Him for my faith:) Because every trial i go through makes me stronger in the end and it is because of Faith that I make it through to the other side:)
Well its getting late and of course I have school in the morning:) so night to all.
A little something from the GIRLTALKBLOG:)
Luke 10:39 "She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what He said."
This devotion is talking about how we should be eager to listen to go and ready to recieve and obey:) even though Mary did this by sittting at Jesus feet, we do not necessarily have to sit at His feet or even sit, it is more about the POSTURE OF YOUR HEART!! not so much the posture of your body.
Night everyone:)
its storming...
