Update ... kinda.

Howdy those who read my blogs!

This is day 8 in Jackson, Michigan, and might I say I couldn't be happier. I mean, of course I miss everyone from Concord (Ha, theres a Concord like 20 minutes from my house), but I mean ... just being here 8 days has been amazing! I'm completely blessed. Like, in the simplest ways. My parents went and bought a whole new bed room set (Like, new bed, dressors, mirrors, nightstands, etc) and gave me their old one. So I now have a full size bed, two full size dressers, two nightstands, the comfiest comforter ever and a tv! (As compared to my twin size bed, one nighstand, and no dresser). I'm completely blessed, and extremely humbled. Every morning I wake up, and look through my window and just think to myself "Wow, I am just so blessed!". Since the Lord is doing good things through me, of course the devil is going to throw stuff at me: and he has begun doing so.
I've had an awful attitudd lately. Towards everyone, and its making me mad. Actually, I dont wanna go into that right now.

Anyways! I got accepted into Western High School Thursday, thanks to Karen (moms best friend, and the mayor of Jackson). Since its my junior year, I had the option to do "School of Choice", which just gives me the option to go to whatever school I want pretty much. But for Western, they had like 5 or 6 kids trying to get in, and they only had 2 or 3 spots. What they do is put all the names in a hat and draw the names of students that get to go to the school. But my mom talked to Karen (Again, the mayor) and Karen called Western and got me a spot. She also got my sister a spot at Dibble, where she wanted to go (which is also right across the street from our neighborhood ... no joke).

Last week sometime (I think Monday or Tuesday?) I began looking for churches in the area. I Googled "Contemporary Churches in Jackson, MI" and a church named Westwinds popped up, in huge letters. So I began looking around the website, and found it interesting. So, I decided to email the pastor (I think ... his name was everywhere on the website, so I assume he's the pastor) and asked him a few quesetions about the youth service. He was extremely polite, and got back to me within the next few days or so. He told me all about SJ, student journey, and asked if I'd like to meet with him and his assistant. It was so awesome to be asked that. I truly felt wanted, and it was just exciting to see leaders going after students: especially after they'd just met me! :) So, I'm headed to Westwinds tomorrow morning/night. I'm really excited, because I think this just may be the church! Also, the pastor told me that alot of the students at SJ go to Western, which just so happens to be my school. Hopefully I can make some new friends!

The devil has been throwing alot at me lately. I've decided to talk about that now, haha. The whole attitude thing ... I dont know. I've been really irritable lately: I havn't had sugar in 3 weeks, and I havn't had meat in 2, so I've been having awful headaches which has made me ... grr. Haha. But my sister got a peice of extreme chocolate cake from Olive Garden the other night, and she agreed to let me have it at the end of Selah ... needless to say, I'm pumped. But not only with my attitude, but with a boy ... A BOY! Ha, I havn't been into a boy, and him feel the same, in months ... since ... awhile ago. But I was talking to him, and we liked eachother, but he's back in NC (maybe SC, actually). And it just isn't working. But the devil is so hard trying to make me chase, and be strung along: nuh uh, not me. I've been made for more than that. And I have to tell myself that ALOT, because I wanna be that little puppy ... but hopefully God'll bring me to someone up here ;) Haha. Everyone has told me "Ah! I'm sure you'll meet your husband up there!" Wouldn't that be nice?

Please pray for me! I'm putting in job applications this week, and I so desperately need a job /: I have insurance/gas to pay for, and gas is $3.19-$3.23 up here: yipes!I'm believeing God will provide, and He has thus far: so I have great reason to believe He will :)



Yepp, well, thats all for now folks!
