It was a very weird day.. indeed at school today.. all of the electricity turned off in the Art's division.. (Which is practically where all of my classes are) We were getting ready to have our Theory I class. Pretty much I got out of school 2 hours early because of this!! It was nice.. I got to go home.. and take a nap.. it's been a long time.. since I had a nice nap!!
I miss hanging out with my two best friends Rache and Stephen.. It's weird since we're going to different schools, and we're all growing up. They've been a constant encouragment to me.. and I'm missing them alot!! (I wanted to tag you guys somehow!! So I decided to write a little note heh)
Love you two!! And I wonder if I can tag myself?? hehe.. YEAH!! You certainly can!!
On a completely different note, I've been reading through the book of Daniel lately. I'm really enjoying it too.. Daniel, and the other christians in the book.. are so.. couragous... They stick there neck out no matter what the threat.. And on the other hand.. Daniel shows alot of how money blinds us (I know.. I get weird things from Daniel...) hang in with me so you'll understand.. The kings, and the wealthy people in the book of Daniel.. All were blinded by wealth and power. And God everytime, broke them.. and pretty much showed them who was boss. It always took something drastic too.. like, dreams that these people could not understand.. A hand writing things on the wall that no one could desipher.. God made them all come to one conclusion.. That he is God, King, he is everything. Power in the world.. is nothing.. It can be torn from you so easily. But at the same time, it shows us over and over.. that through faith.. We can truly do anything.. I wish I found it easy to trust in God as Daniel did. Go read Daniel guys! It's awesome!!
Love you!!

(This is Daniel's praise to God after God revealed the answer to Nebuchadnezzar's dream.)
Daniel 2:20
20 Daniel said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.
21 "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.
22 "It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.
23 "To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us the king's matter."

Skewl
So, Skewl started yesterday..
It's going great, but it's really stressful at the same time.. I love every one of my teachers because every one of them demands my best. That's what I like in a teacher.. BUT... that means that I have a VERY hard semester ahead of me. Already it's been really tough.
Today started off bad.. haha.. I got to school.. and had to park in the farthest spot possible from where I need to be. I got inside so I could copy a song, sell a book back that they gave me for a class I wasn't even in.. (I have no idea why haha) And then warm up for a very important audition.. I tried to take the book back three different times.. but each time they weren't ready for me. So I tried to go make copies, it wouldn't take my money.. haha.. so I had to go make change in the bookstore.. Ok imagine this.. the line is ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK WALL!! And it curved around after it hit the back wall.. So I stood in that line.. for.. 45 minutes.. to get change.. And attempt again to sell my book. I actually sold it to them.. BUT they almost didn't accept it because they thought the cd case held more than what was already in there. So I waited in line for 45 minutes and then waited for them to decide what to do for 20 minutes.
By that time it was TIME for my audition.. so I had no warm ups.. no run throughs.. or anything.. (I hadn't even sang my song once! Since last spring!!) The choir I tried out for is very advanced and audition only. Haha.. only 4 people make it from each section. (In other words.. I have a very slim chance of making it because I'm a soprano) But I'm cool with it if I don't make it. The thing that was super tough, was tryouts.. I totally freaked out when he asked me to sight read acapella.. so I blanked.. and barely got any of the rythm's right. Other than that I did fairly well, besides being all shaky from nervousness.. And one other thing, be praying about my music theory class.. It's already bogging me down and it's only the second day.. I have 4 books and three cd's for this class.. And tons.. I mean TONS.. of homework haha.. And this is with the most difficult teacher on campus (so people say haha)
On the other hand.. I've found alot of relief.. I've been going to God with these issues.. and he's really helped me. I sit in the cafeteria, plug in my headphones and just pray and write my thoughts out.. Thanks you God for giving me peace.
These verses helped me alot the other day when I was thinking about my future..
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.
Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.
Proverbs 20:21 You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail.
Proverbs 20:24 Man's steps are ordained by the LORD, How then can man understand his way?

Crazy..
So.. I'm graduated from highschool..
And in a week and a couple of days, I will officially be a Freshman in College.. It's crazy to me that highschool is over. I think.. I imagined that it would last forever or something.. Because I still can't believe I'm officially in college now. So much is changing around me to. It's been a blessing but a hard one. My close friendship I had with my two best friends Rachel and Stephen has changed. (Not in a bad way, it's just hard and different for all of us) It's been.. really crazy to me.. How many wonderful memories I have.. And so many sad ones.. in just the four years of highschool. Most are definitly positive because I had the two best friends in the world to support me through them. And a God... that I can really rely on.. Really put my hope in..
I think that college will be alot of the same thing for me. I will still have those two best friends, and my wonderful savior.. But alot of change is coming.. I've already dove over the cliff.. But I have no idea.. what's going to happen when I hit bottom. It's exciting yet.. very scary to think about. I don't know exactly why I'm posting this.. but I knew it was about time for a post haha.. This is what's been going on with me.. On a completely different note!
I've been at Whitewater all day with my youthgroup. We had a pretty fun time.. Except for the Eric in the speedo factor.. (Trust me.. when I say.. disturbing beyond all measure) We went on the rapids (I don't believe you can call it rapid..) And had a competition to see who could get to the bottom last.. It was alot of fun.. but it took like 45 minutes. We were pushing each other in the intertubes.. trying to get them ahead of us.. I don't think the lifeguards like Wildwood anymore though hehe. I'll write about Mexico and CIY later..
Love you guys!
