Snow Days

The past six months have been eventful in many ways. I am working on graduating from community college this spring! Yay! I have gotten accepted to the Bible Institute for next year! Yay! And   last year was such a great semester as far as classes go. 

This semester has so far been up to a rocky start as far as weather and class cancelations go. We have had some snow, and around where I live snow means everything shuts down. 

But a little bit of snow is fun and pretty. It makes the road by my house look like a ice skating rink. 

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord : though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. (Isaiah 1:18 ESV)

Summer Camp

So I've been gone for a while, a long while. I've actually been in Florida working at a summer camp. I worked front desk, so I helped the youth leaders more than campers. I loved it! It was a lot of fun and God really taught me a ton.

Finished with School!

At last! I can breath... well, at least a little bit more. I took my two final exams yesterday. I know have time to spend on things I want, instead of making power points about Africanized bees. Although I am glad to be able have a high school and college education. That is a gift so often taken for granted in the United States.

Me right before my final exam. 

Graduation

I am officially a high school graduate. Yippy!
Being a homeschooler my graduation wasn't the normal "very long, not personal type thing." Instead, there were only four of us graduating, which was cool because we could make it personal to us while still having more than one graduate being honored.

I don't have many pictures from graduation
at this point, due to forgetting to put my
battery in my camera, but here is a decent cellphone
picture from afterwords. I thought it turned out
really cool. 

Regional TI

So why did I wake up at 4 AM last Saturday? Regional TI.
Regionals is probably one of the only times you will see me getting up that early. My family gets up, gets dressed, and drives to youth group. We then get on the bus and drive another two and a half hours, so that we can preform our events. This year, four out of five of my events placed (which means I get to do them again in Florida for nationals).
I brought my camera, but I didn't even take it out of its case. Sometimes I just don't feel like taking pictures.

I did however get this picture on my phone. We were about
half way through at this point. 

Last Leg of School

Ah yes, so life is crazy at the moment. I have a ton of school to do over the next couple of weeks. The good news though, is that after three weeks from today it will all be over!
But before that happens I have a community project to do, two tests, two accumulative exams, this other exam with really isn't an exam, English journals (which I'm just about to work on again), a notebook check (I hate those things), two more psychology assignments, a major college success project, and probably some other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head (hopefully I remember them before they are due).
*taking a breath*
So anyway that's my life right now. Right now, I am looking up 5 clubs I would be interested in if I went to Liberty University. They have a long list of clubs (who knew that "Toms Shoes" was a club?).
So yes, I cannot wait till summer. I'm not sure what I'll be up to this summer, but I know it's going to be great, and awfully nice to have a break from the drudgery of school.

Teens Involved

The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy for me. One of the major things going on has been teens involved. This is where we work on our different skills that can be used in the church, such as puppets, teaching children, drama, large vocal group. I took a few pictures from when we showed the church on Sunday night and when we did it for judges the following Saturday.
