Hey ya'll!! So last night I got back from PCB! We had such a great time!! I got to meet some cool people *cough*cough* TRUETT!! *cough*cough* JACK!! lol long story. but anyway we had lots of fun chilling on the beach and listening to the amazing Pastor Johnny, Tony Nolan and of course the one and only Pete Hixson! Will Goodwin was outstanding and all of the other music was amazing (especially FFE :]) Shipwreck island was off the chain and double takes at trash cans are totally AWESOME!! haha!! I really enjoyed the messages and the worship really sparked another flame in my heart so just watch out world because i'm on fire for Jesus!! I am going to be putting up an article pretty soon about being real when you worship but now I feel a nap coming on. I hope everyone is doing great and living for God! Love ya'll!

The Blow Out!!!

Incase you didn't know Monday was my little brother's birthday! So to celebrate we went to Dave and Busters.  We had a lot of fun and got a lot of tickets but instead of buying something we decided to keep our tickets and save up for something even bigger. So my mom said that everyone could get a piece of candy but instead I grabbed a whoopee cushion!! I had a lot of fun with it on the way home and my dog couldn't stand the noise.  Well this weekend I'm in Michigan with Fan The Flame and I decided to take it with me and have a little fun. Last night Katie was over in my room and Cody was back in their room by himself so I showed Katie the whoopee cushion and we sat there and planned everything out.  I went over to their room and asked if I could use their toilet because my was broken. (not really) I went in the bathroom put down the toilet seat and sat on the whoopee cushion. It got really quiet and then I heard Cody say "What was that?!" I flushed the toilet and then ran the faucet to make it sound like I was washing my hands.  I opened the door to the bathroom, wished him a good night, and then left. Cody had not said anything so I ran back to the room laughing my head off.  A few minutes later I got a phone call from him. (earlier that day we had been having problems with our water) He asked if my water was working ok. I told him that it was but that I couldn't figure out how to flush the toilet. He was dead serious and said, "Well have you called the front desk? We can call someone to come and fix that?!" (it took everything in me not to burst out laughing) I told him that since it was "so late" that I would wait until the morning to call someone. I can't wait to see his face when I show him the whoopee cushion.  

So needless to say I am having a blast in Gaylord Michigan! We are about to go to the fairgrounds and Cody will speak. And then we will probably spend some time at the Big Ticket and then come back to the room and crash. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Let's Get Some Shoes

This week has been crazy! Yesterday I went shoe shopping and if you know me then you know that I hate wasting money. (I guess my mom has rubbed off on me) you know what I mean like I don't want to buy something unless I reeeeeeally like it and I know that I will use it. So we were at Famous Footwear and I found these realllllly cute Pumas and they fit ok but the problem was was that my mom was in a hurry and if you know me then you also know that I hate being rushed. So I made a quick decision to get the shoes. The man at the register rung up the shoes and let me wear them out. I was loving them.....almost. We got to the next store and my feet began to hurt I began to get nervous about taking the shoes home and then hating them and wasting my mom's money. (also they were white so I was also really nervous about getting them dirty) so I asked my mom if we could take them back to the store and return them. we didn't think that the man was going to take them back but I went up to the register and told him the truth and he gladly took them back.
I know this is going to sound really corny but I feel like we can relate what happened to me Yesterday with our lives. We often get busy and in a hurry and we don't stop to think and really consider our situation before we decide our actions. Then we choose something that will lead us to a lot of pain and discontent. But here's the cool part, God gladly takes us back when we come to Him and confess our mistakes. (or as Cody would say our faults, failures, and flaws =] )
Alright well I'm off to pack for my trip this weekend. Pray for Katie, Cody, and I. We will be leaving tomorrow morning for Michigan. I am really excited about the conference and I'm looking forward to learning more about the ministry. =)
