Well I've babysitted twice in less than 24 hours. I'm kind of tired of kids right now...but if anybody needs a babysitter...I'm totally available! I honestly don't even want to babysit (although I'm CPR certified and I'm good at it), but I really need money right now. I have to pay for driver's training and the longer I wait to get my permit (which costs money) the longer I have to wait until I drive. My parents are tired of driving me everywhere! I've kind of resorted to asking for the money that they would have spent on me in like a Starbucks or something in cash.
My dad is taking me out maybe to dinner or a movie tonight and we're just gonna hang out. I'm kind of excited. So my dad has kinda had a revelation. As you may know, our family is having some problems with Northside and my dad has been really negative towards everything, not just at church. As you probably know, it has kind of worn off on me too. So today he totally like repented and talked to all of us about how he was being so negative and ....it was amazing. I could not hold back the tears. He is kind of prideful sometimes and when I would point out to him that he was being prideful, he would say "I'm not negative, I'm truthful". And today he totally recognized how he was acting...it was really cool! He is also paying for part of CIY and driver's training!!!! I'm really excited and we can already see him being less negative and less stressed out. I'm so proud of him. This thing tonight (my dad just told me) is a surprise...I hope it's fun! OK...I realy really like posting everyday...I kind of want to post twice a day....maybe not everyday. Ok see you tomorrow! Love you guys!

PHIL!!!!!!!! this is a great picture (thanks to Jena)! He always wears that scarf and I think he's one of the only men who can pull off a scarf! And look! I didn't cut anybody out of this picture!

Well I don't really have much to say today. I took 2 tests and had to write 2 huge essays back-to-back in like 90 minutes(not a long time for the essays my teacher expects us to write). We had an incredibly dumb and boring rally today. The only thing that I liked about it was that before it started they were showing us some random funny facts and they were kinda funny...well I thought they were. Like they banned Donald Duck comics in Finland because he doesn't wear pants. I'm sad that Brandy's leaving, I didn't really get to talk to her that much this time...maybe next time. As you can see I am kinda just rambling on and on about nothing in particular. My dad is off work this whole entire spring break and we aren't doing anything...don't know why I mentioned that.....lol.....ok see you guys later!

I've noticed that my blogs usually are incredibly unorganized and are just rambles about my day and Alyssa's are all organized and pretty.

I'm really excited about CIY this year. The theme is ONES and I'm really looking forward to seeing what kinds of videos and new ideas they'll have for this year.

I really like hanging out with Jena. She makes me feel so welcome in the group and not akward, like last night with Megan. I don't know her very well and I don't know Liz and Chelsea that well. It was really fun last night. Ok, I have to go do homework. Thanks for the Chicken Goodness Recipe!

P.S. I love Phil Wickham! (just in case you didn't know)

Well...I'm having a pretty good day today. We watched a sermon on TV this morning and it was pretty good. It doesn't really relate to me because it is about the woman's role in a marriage, but it was really good. I was really nervous about worship this morning because my voice was not working very well. I was having a sound check and I saw Alisa Hopper. I was so nervous. Singing in front of the best worship leader I know?!?!?!?! Yeah...I was terrified. She totally talked to me and wants to meet with me and I'm so excited. And after my not-so-good worship set, she totally told me that she loves my voice and OH MY GOODNESS!!! It made me feel so amazing!!! Yeah and going over and hanging out with you guys was really cool....I didn't know Liz was so emotional. I know she was having a bad day, but tears were streaming down her face after I said she was beautiful. I guess people do take what I say seriously. lol. We had a pretty good leadership meeting (well we didn't really have a meeting, we kinda just had fellowship time) and at home I got to play my guitar for a ridiculously large amount of time...it was amazing! I just had a good day. Oh and yeah, I got to hang out and talk with Emily. I love her! Ok well I'm gonna go see what's for dinner...bye!

Well this week went by pretty fast. I failed a history test, passed a Biology test, and did pretty well on a French test. When I say failed...I really mean I failed, I got a 57%. It was not fun. This week week God has been teaching me a lot. I've learned that I need to trust God with everything I do and not worry about what might happen cause I'm never right when I think of the possible outcomes of a problem. God is always right so why can't I trust Him with my life? I'm also trying to give everything in my life over to Him and I honestly don't know if I'm doing it right and I kinda don't know if I really am giving it to God. I don't want to just say that I am but still worry about it. So...yeah I'm trying to work on that... After school today I totally put my bathing suit on and laid out in my backyard. It was amazing and I have a little tan...not as much as Emily's was though. I hope I don't get addicted! Well I'll see you guys on Sunday or the next time I see you...love you!

I'm kinda offended that Alyssa isn't really on blogger anymore....I guess Myspace was just too good for me..... I looked back to Alyssa's first post and it suggested we should use Blogger as an alternative to myspace......mmmmm........I forgive you, Alyssa and you can go use your myspace...I will always be here...on blogger.........hum...........:( I still wont get a myspace, but please don't leave me hanging here......all alone........on blogger.....because Jena never updates...... I like using these..........things! :)
