So I've been doing a lot of thinking here lately... My last assignment in my pyschology class was to read a article about Our needs and wants in life. The last part of the article talked about accomplishment and happiness within oneself. I had to write a summary after reading the article and when i was finished it really made me think. The article talked about how everyone wants to be happy:) noone wants to wake up and say "well.. I think i wanna be mad at the world today." But even though everyone strives to be happy.. so many people truly deep down inside are not. So many people where a smile and go day by day and noone knows how upset they are truly. So many times we get caught up in the ways of the world and forget to go after what makes us truly happy. The article said everyone has something they are truly good at and that makes them happy and when we find what that is we should go after it:)
So many times we conform to the ways of the world and fall into what people have labeled us to be. When really we should be the UNIQUE human being that God formed before we were even born:) Romans 12:1 :)We were born in His thought and made my Him! How Amazing is that!! and we should be who He intended us to be. People can label us and make us into something that we are not. But God is truly the Only One who knows who we truly are.
Now having all of that said, true happiness doesnt come from things of the world. Yes, things in life make us happy of course:) but they fade away. The only One who does not fade away and can fill that void in our lives forever is JESUS CHRIST Himself:) To be truly happy we must pursue God. So many times I get caught up in the ways of the world and forget what I was truly created for. We were Created to worship Him:) We get caught up in the busyness of life and forget to Pray, read the Bible, attend Church, or even witness to others. I cant imagine how happy God is when we take the time to Pray:) God showers us with blessings everyday that we dont even think about. I believe if we would just pursue Him we will be truly happy:)
Every promise God has made to us He is gonna fulfill. He has created everyone of us with a purpose and designed us for His work.
Im not exactly sure why this came to my mind. But after writing that summary and watching the Basement on tv.. I have been thinking alot about it:)
I want to be a light in the World for God:) and after reading that article it made me realize you never know what is behind that smile. So i want to strive to make others happy and live my life for His Glory.
Be BOLD:)

Summer?? where did it go? :(
I am officially finished with my two college classes:) it was definitely a good experience to get my feet wet before I start it full force next fall. I finished my western civ. class with a 94 or 95. Im not sure exactly. But me and zeke were two of the four in the whole class who were exempt from the final:) Thank Jesus. My psychology class was a little bit harder because the test were timed and on two chapters at a time but I am not sure what my final grade in that class was. Only 10 more days until the first day of my senior year. I am very excited!!! I feel like the summer has flown by way to fast. With all of my classes done and one of my books read for school i actually had some time to go to beckis house and layout this week. It made it seem like the summer had just begun. I havent layed out near as much this year as last year:( but these next few days will for sure be spent by the pool:) My sisters tournaments came to and end this weekend. They played in Gadsden and they finished it off with a 3rd place:). Congrats Intensity!!!

So much to say:)
Wow!! I guess you could say it is time for me to blog again:) I have been so busy that I didnt even realize that I havent blogged since may 31. Woah!! This summer has been a blast but has also been extremely busy at the same time. I have cheerleading workouts on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 8, that is practically like getting up for school. :( but of course i feel a lot better after it. I am currently taking two college courses at Wallace this summer with the Summer Honors Scholarship i recieved. Thank God he has definitly opened up a great opportunity for me to get some experience before hitting college full force. I take western civ. on Monday nights with Zeke:) and I am taking Psychology online. Lets just say psychology has definitly been a challenge:) the tests are timed and you have two hours.. the first test it took me my mom and my dad to finish it:) but I have an A and am studying like crazy.
In between all of this my sister is on a travel softball team:) and she loves it. Almost every weekend they go play somwhere. A few tournaments have been close by and then others have been far away. I have made it to a few:) and I love wathcing her play. Last weekend they played state in decatur. The first night was an adventure. I have never seen so many parents yelling and screaming at the umpires. It was insane. But I have to admit he did not make sense in his call. But I definitly feel for the umpires and I know for sure I couldnt be one:) I would run and cry the first time a fan yelled at me. haha. So lets just say saturday I stayed in the camper at the field and babysit and watched the game from the window:) We ended up having to go back Sunday because the games got rained out on Saturday. So Saturday night we went to the mall and Chucky Cheese(the place where everyone is a kid) haha it was a blast.
I have a summer job kindof :) I mow my grandma and aunts yard every week. It brings in 70$ a week. So for a girl who has never had a real job and does not have to do much that is good:) ha.
Last week after I mowed my great aunts yard I went in and sat and talked to her:) she moved down here from ohio and she has noone living with her and every day she has to go to her sisters house and help basically keep her while her husband is at work. She barely has time to even do laundry or keep her own house up. I just sat and talked to her for awhile and every now and then she would say something about needing to move stuff in the shed, burn trash, or water her flowers. So i was like Aunt Jean Ill help you if you wanna do it now. So she was like well since you asked lets go do it:) I stayed and helped her until dark and I really enjoyed it:).
In the midst of all of this:) I took the Act about 3 weeks ago and after the test was over I felt so bad about it I knew for sure my score was going to be a lot lower than last time. The two times before I made a consecutive 23. But to my surprise my text me one night while I was at my grandmas and was like your scores are and I made a 25:) I was so shocked. I was definilty thanking God for sure.
About 2-3 weeks ago I recieved a $33,000 Scholarship to Belhaven College:) I was so excited. Belhaven is a Christian College in Missippi. I am not sure If I will choose to go there but hey its a start. I plan to maybe start out at wallace for 2 years then transfer to a Private Christian College. I was really looking into Southeastern College in Florida and having been talking to some people there. As of now I would like to go into the field of Accounting. and also get a degree in Missions:) It has always been my passion:) I would love to someday help with a Youth Group or Maybe travel to another country and serve God. Who knows??? God designed me with a Purpose and only He knows where I am going from here:)

Life:)
It has been forever since I have updated anything on here. I have been extremely busy. Softball season was practice everyday and if not practice then a game and sometimes tournaments on the weekends! and since my sister is on jv and im on varsity i went to pretty much every game there was. Cheerleading tryouts were in March! I am officially a senior cheerleader:) I was an usherette for graduation this year. So the past two weeks were filled with so much. Between bachelorette practice and the service, graduation practice, senior pizza party, last will and testament and graduation i was busy. And on top of all of that most teachers did not exempt anyone from semester tests:( My history exam ended up being 11 pages front and back of my own writing. My math exam was a review from all semester. My english exam was two discussion questions and a test. My anatomy exam was the disection of the sheep heart!! I am so glad that school is officially out and it is summer:)
I got a summer honors scholarship to wallace for this summer so I am taking western civ and psychology just to kinda get my feet wet in it and experience what college is like before I hit it full force.
My sister is playing on a travel softball team this summer called intensity!! They have tournaments every weekend. So far they have played in huntsville, good hope, gadsden and i think one more??? But she likes it and its fun going to watch and getting to spend all day at the ball park!!
With all of this I have been mowing my grandma and my great aunts yard once a week and babysitting soemtimes!!!
But by far I love my life and everyone in it:) God has blessed me for sure.
Church is going amazing!! Our preacher got the news last wednesday that the doctors were fifty percent sure he had cancer. Our service last Sunday was extremely sad but I could definitly feel God's presence there. I had to leave early to make it to graduation but everyone said it was great!! Well the doctors called Bro. Jeff this thursday, a week after they told him they were fifty percent sure he had cancer and a day after they did the byopsy.. Doctor said Bro. Jeff would you like to hear some good news??? NO CANCER!!! PRAISE THE LORD!! and now you can only imagine how our service went this morning:) it lasted a while and everyone knew at the end of the serive that no matter what you go through or where you are in life. God is with you. He said I will never leave you nor forsake you!!!
I am about to get some sleep or study!! But I have had a blast over these past few months but I have been as busy as everything. I have pictures of graduation, softball, and random stuff to put on here soon!!

My life:)
Wow it has been forever since i have been on here:)
My life is insanely crazy... but i love every minute of it:) and definitly wouldnt trade it for the world.
I finally went to the doctor for everything that was going on.. and well they tried to take blood from my hand and i blacked out:( and then they pricked my finger and then tried taking it from my arm and were about to give up and the lady came in and got it:) thank you Jesus:) and then they did and ekg. and when i left from their i was sick for about 3 days it was bad:(. but they said i didnt have Potassium.. iron... and i need to eat protein. wow?? haha. so i take iron and potassium pills and suppost to eat protein all throughout the day. Im glad it wasnt anything extremely bad. and i still get dizzy sometimes but not as bad and i havent passed out since about september. So thank You Jesus for that:)
Basketball ended in february and softball practice started in january.
So between Church, family, friends, softball, cheerleading, and school i stay busy:)
Softball has officially started. We have played in three weekend tournaments so far.
The first tournament was the holly pond kick-off tournament and well we'll just say that was by far one of the worst days of my life.
But then the next weekend was the umpires tournament and we did allright in it.
and this past weekend was the wallact state tournament.
Friday night we played marion and lawrence county. and got beat by both of them but it was just pool play.
Saturday morning we beat glencoe:)
and then the tournament started and we beat tanner like 10-0 :)
then we played summiton Christian and lost. But it was lots of fun ecspecially playing in the rain:)
last nigth we played our first home game of the season against west point.
we were wining 3 to zip in like the 3rd inning. and we kept making mistakes and they scored 6 runs in one inning. Needless to say our coach was pretty mad.
The seventh inning we were still down 3 i think. and we had last bat and shawnee hit and got on. and then hannah hit and got on. and then it was my turn and i had a crappy hit but i beat the throw and got on:) so bases were loaded and savannah came up and struck out:( i still love her to death:) haha. then katie got up there and hit a line drive to right field and we won:)
So we havent really had a bad season.
Cheerleader tryouts are this week:) im kinda excited but then again its kinda sad it will be my last tryout ever. this will be my 12th year to cheer:) thats along time??? but i love it:)
Next weekend will be act training. the next weekend is the act.
and the next is prom:) im kinda excited. I went last year on the prom committee as a sophomore to help. and this year i am going with friends only:) me, hannah, and sybil are going as anthonys date. haha. I went Sunday after Church and got my dress:) im pretty happy with it.
On the same weekend as prom my family is coming in from missouri to watch our easter play at our Church and everyone should come i went last year and honestly by far it was the best play i have seen in my whole life:).
Thats pretty much it for now:)
I hurt my wrist this past week and i really dont know how i just noticed it hurting this weekend and now i cant pick up stuff or bend in hardly. and they let one of the parents look at it at the game and she was messing with it:( and she said i probably tore the tendons in my wrist. but now it is going up my arm. so i prob have to go to the doctor tom:(
