WOW! What a GREAT new year!

Tori and I had a great new year eves at my church playing games with my Pastor and many others as a few select of us gathered for the watchnight service of games, food, and fun. Let me say, the food was awesome, the games were fun, and the company was inspiring! It was amazing starting the new year on my knees thanking God for the past year and all he Has done for me. I mean, I have joined my first church, gradutated from high school, started college and succesfully completed my first semested of it, and I had my first relationship with a great man. I think all in all it was a pretty great year, it had it's trials and errors like always, God still has chosen not to take my headaches away, but I feel the end is coming with that someday soon, and I urge you to be in prayer with me about that.

MY New Years Resolution? For the Year 2008 to be an even BETTER year than 2007, and for my focus on Christ to grow stronger as I continue on with my education, and possibly move on with my dating life as well. Who knows, only God does, and with God, nothings impossible. *I want to thank all those who have been in prayer for Scott Whitley who has been in Iraq for the last year, but PLEASE, do NOT stop praying yet, because he still has alittle over a month and still needs our prayers until he walks off the steps of that plane and is in the loving arms of his family once again. Thanks friends, for all your love, and support to me.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!

I hope everyone has a great New Years for 2007 as we look forward to the year 2008 at 12:00a.m. on Tuesday morning. I am going to my church tomorrow night to play games and to fellowship with my church family, and when mid-night comes around, we are going to be in the sancuary down on our knees thanking God for an amazing year and asking Him what He'd do in us for the next one. I ask you to do the same, be on your knees as that ball drops and be asking God what he'd have you to do. I know in about a month we are going to be rejoicing because Scott Whitley who has been gone for over a year now will be HOME! Praise God for bringing him home safly, AMEN? Well folks, it's 1:45 a.m and I need sleep so, I'll ttyl all later, see ya in the NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Exams

Hey everyone,
sorry I have seem like I have been dropped off the planet but no I haven't, just been REAL busy. Exams are officially over and so is school until January 4th, Thank Goodness. It's so nice to have a break and I have passed all my classes thanks be to God for helping me through my first semester with Mr. Butts. We have been working on our Christmas Cantata at Church that the choir sings that we are doing this Sunday at 11a.m. then again at 7p.m. so please come out. We went to Britthaven Sunday to do it there for them and then I went out to my classmate Peneolpe's house to download software. I ended up having to leave my computer out there so her son could battle it out with the software guy whom he got mad at over the phone the previous day while I was there. So, we have one more to do and then we are done and hopfully that will be it. here's a pic of my first nice invention on my first download of software which is photoshop.















I intend to enjoy my break and this weekend I am going to enjoy Cable at my aunt's house when I go up there to babysit for my cousins while they do stuff for work this weekend and earn so good money in the process. The Camera fund is coming along nicely and I am looking forward to AK especially after Mrs. Debbie told me last weekend the sites we are or might be going to see and I am already falling in love with them. Tonight is the business meeting at church and my ministry is getting approved into the church, and by the way, we will be. It's a great ministry and one I am proud to be a part of. You don't have to guess what I am doing in it and am loving it. I am also in the choir at church as you know and am still loving it and as I said we are getting ready to do our first big production, "I Love to Tell The Story." I love you friends, look at this video too, it says it all about Chirstmas, and let your Christmas be about CHRIST!!! After all, HE is the Risen for the season!!!!

Finally!!!!!!!

Well, I finally found the perfect deal for me with an SLR camera, and it couldn't be more perfect. It's a great price, exactly what I want, and what more could I want???? I already have 2 tripods, and they are perfect, have a good camera, and it's perfect, and am now fulfilling my dream, to get an Canon SLR camera. SOOOOOOO......for those of you out there who probably are getting me a Christmas gift, wellll, give me money, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! I need money to contribute to my camera fund so I can have it before I go to Alaska in May of next year to watch my best friend Catherine graduate from High School! THANKS soooo much friends, you're allll the bestt!!!!!!

Weekends are Great!!!

Well another weekends here again and boy am I glad! It's going to be busy like last week but great none the less and hopfully I can get a ton done like I did last weekend too. I've got finals coming up soon too so I need to start preparing for that as well. Tonight I've got to look over my paper that's due tomorrow and make sure it's good to go. Tomorrow's a new day and one I aim to please Jesus with and do what He tells me to do with my time and energy. I feel that He was pleased with how I spent my weekend last weekend. Tori go to drive for the first time, went shopping in Greenville and did a lot of other productive things I needed to get done too. Well friends, got to rap up computer time before going out to eat. Ttyl.

some relief!

well folks, I don't have any pressuring homework due tomorrow so I going to bed so I can finally get some sleep since I've been really tired all week. It's almost 10 and I think I deserve it after working hard for the last 2 weeks. Plus finals are coming up soon so gotta prepare for that too. Night all

My, oh my!

well, the weekends over and time for a new week and school. Today was a great day, got a lot done, but now I am exhausted. Plus, I've been on new meds for the last week for my headaches. Things are going better but I'm having side affects from it which isn't that good. The weekend was absolutly wonderful since I got done everything I had planned plus much more! I kept thinking up things, and looking to God and He told me what He wanted of me for this weekend and I pulled through. Now if this week can continue that would be wonderful. Well friends, I'm going to continue to rest up after today and eat some dinner, do some homework and clean up some more and see what God has planned for me tonight! Love to all! God Bless and be with each and everyone of you!

well schools treaking along as per usual. I'm about ready to get away from Mr. Butts, but this week we haven't had to listen to him lecture for an hour. Insted, he either sat at his desk in the room grading papers, or sat in his office grading or reading stuff. So this week was nice. The extra credit 10 points is a tuffy, so if any of you know the answer to this question, shout it out PLEASE!!!! What do the 1956 Yankees, Disney World, and the Monkees all have in common??? Thanks, and things are going great with the choir at church! We're practicing for our Christmas Cantata, and it is sooo beautiful! We did our first sing away from church since I've joined this past Monday night at the First Baptist Church of Deep Run, NC. Then this coming Monday we sing again at New Hope Baptist Church, Kinston, NC. The song we did this week was so beautiful and great praise to our Father above. I still can't wait til December 13th when we get outta school for this semester! Be in prayer for my friend Paige, she's really having a hard time right now with her husband being gone for close to a year and they keep changing to date for him to come home =( So please pray for her as she takes care of her 4 boys, Noah(9), Sam(5),Max(4), and Jack(2) almost 3. Thanks, love you all. My headaches are pretty bad right now too, so please, pray for me that they can get better soon so I can do a good job in school without them disrupting my life in homework! Thanks again, love you ALL!!!!

This is a wonderful song that I sang with my sister Tori and her class at co-op also known as Klass, and it's just amazing!!!

It was more on tithing and God's purpose for your life was the theme. I enjoyed it a lot and got a lot out of it. I joined the choir 2 weeks ago too. So today was my first Sunday since I was i was gone last week. I really enjoyed it and am glad that I could be there today since we did a nice mededly I LOVE and wanted to do with the choir. Two of our members who our in the choir as well weren't there so there was a bit of confusion about who went where. But we got it sorted out and hopfully they will be there in 2 weeks for when I am there again since next week we'll be outta town for my cousins wedding.

Oh, and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow, well I kinda am and kinda not. My break officially ends at 9am tomorrow morning. But the good part is, that the semester is half over so I get out of school around the 13th of December and I'm really lokking forward to that!!! Pray for me that I do good the rest of the semester! Thanks friends, and on another note, I found a ad for MPIX in my photo magagzine I get monthy, and they, MPIX, does many different things, but I did a book, with a lot of my best photos that I could get in there! It looks great, and is alot easier than scrapbooking. except you can do a lot more with scrapbooking! Talk to you all later.
