Drivers License!
Yes I am driving! that means you might want to try to stay off the roads as much as you can!! ha ha!! actually me and my dad went driving earlier today and I was doing really good. I asked him on a scale of one through ten where he thought I was at and he said a one but I think that I did better than that! lol everyone told me that after I got my learners permit that I would never want to drive but I had soooooo much fun today and I can't wait to go driving with my dad again....now if i could just stop getting the gas pedal and the brake pedal confused...just kidding...but seriously =)
School!
ahhh school school school, whats there to say about school. uh got my report card couple weeks ago. I got all A's except in current issues. I got an 89 so it was like a really high B but hopefully I can bring it up by the end of the semester. I am LOVING ROTC! It's turned out to be one of highlights of school. I have another dance tonight! It's the Military Ball. Shawn's going to take me again and I am super excited! My dress is long and its blue but it has this like really sheer black material over it so the blue shows through and I love it!! ha ha!! but yeah high school is really starting to set in and despite all of the work, I love it!!
Priorities:
As you can tell there have been a lot of things going on lately (and boy do I mean a lot!) I guess since I'm sort of "growing up" I have had a really difficult time adjusting. I tend to put school or other teenage things before spending time with God. I keep thinking ok God is going to be with me through all of this so that's that, and I put him on the back burner. Then that leads to just getting into the motions of being a christian. I start thinking that since God is with me then despite everything going on, I'm just going to magically start feeling better about everything. But I realized that this isn't what it supposed to be like. Yes, God is going to be with me through these troubles no matter what, but is that all he's going to do? Is he just going to sit back and watch everything that's going on and occasionally slip in a little it's going to be alright? After a lot of praying and searching, God has shown me that he is here for more than just to oversee your trouble and make sure that you come out on the other end better than you were before you went in. He is here to help you through every little step and teach you something crucial through every little detail. He wants you to turn to Him when you don't know whats going on and He wants you to turn to Him EVERY TIME you feel scared or alone. He wants to comfort you and show you what to do through everything. And let me tell you there is such a relief and a peace of mind when you know that Savior of the World is holding you in His arms. So just run to Him. Don't be afraid of what He's going to say or what he's going to think of the situation your in. Guess what, HE ALREADY KNOWS! So don't try to hide it from him, run to him, ask him for advice, comfort, love. I guarantee you will feel the greatest since of relief from simply calling upon his name and resting your trust in him.
so I hope everyone is doing well and HAPPY SATURDAY!
p.s. I will try to update more! lol
