Youth rally!

We went to a youth rally this past Saturday down in Lafayette at Temple Baptist Church. Bro. Reno Likins delivered a message titled "Remember." It was very good. We all had a good time. I had the "privilege" of participating in the activity of the day. They had pieces of fiberglass with one person on each side with a circle drawn in the middle and smeared peanut butter on both sides and we had to lick the peanut butter off the glass without using our hands! It was something... haha. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of myself doing that, but I do have some other pictures from that day. Enjoy.

On the way there

Katie, Sharon, & Me

Check out the color difference.

This is actually my normal face, and Sharon looks like a beaver.

Just getting out of the van

LiLi & Me

Does Sharon love her family, or is she choking Katie?

I made a mess... that taco never had a chance.

Sharon & me again

Mess with us and get jacked up, sucka.

As I emerge

It's been over ten days since I last posted and I apologize to those of you who come here everyday just waiting for me to enlighten you with my amazing blogs (not.) Seriously though, I just haven't been in the posting mood lately. I've hardly gotten on and those few times that I did get on, I was too busy with other stuff to post a blog. Well, I finally found some time to sit here and catch you guys up with some things.

First off, school for us starts the Wednesday after Labor Day (Steph hates me for that, haha.) We also have to wear uniforms this year. Either a khaki or navy skirt with either a red, navy, green, gold, or black polo shirt. I guess we have a pretty good color variety when it comes to the shirts, but I still hate uniforms. And it had to be my senior year when they decide for us to wear them too... oh well! Speaking of my senior status, I still haven't gotten my class ring back from being resized! It's been sent off for about a month and a half and it still isn't back. I'm beginning to forget what the thing looks like. We've called a couple of times and they've said that it just hasn't made it back in yet, but I think I might go up there and ask in person sometime today.

Now moving on to work... Yesterday, Mrs. Jeanne got the idea to clean out the entire back room (and if you've been back there with all the ovens and fryers and smokers, then you know that it's no small task!) And the thing of it is, she chose me to do it all by myself by Sunday! Yesterday I went in at 4:00, or a little before, and got started on it. Thankfully, Emma Lou helped me, A LOT! We moved all of the tables, donut things, fryers and all of that mess out of the way and got on our hands and knees and literally scraped the floor for at least 45 minutes. After scraping that, we swept and mopped that up and then scrubbed down the walls with 409, which took forever. And did I forget to mention that this room hasn't been cleaned like this in about 10 years? (It looks like it anyway.) Emma went in early this morning to do cakes, so it'll just be me, Stephanie, and Ms. Lori tonight. Guess I'm on my own this time! Don't get me wrong, they would help if they could, but there are a million other things that have to get done besides that.

While I'm thinking about Steph, I went to Wal-Mart the other night and bought some glass chalk. Yesterday when I got to work, as I was walking in I wrote on Steph's back window. I was going to write on all of the side windows too, but it had just finished raining and was still sort of sprinkling so the windows were wet, and of course it didn't work. I hear that she has some glass chalk now too, so I'm scared to know what's gonna happen. That girl is pretty crazy, so you never know... She is becoming a very good friend of mine, considering the fact that her personality is almost just like mine. She's one of those that I play fight with all the time and can be sarcastic with without her getting upset over any of it. The thing is, she is most of the time the one starting it all, haha.

Tomorrow is Paige's 2nd birthday and she is having a party today, which unfortunately I won't be going to because I have to go into work at 3:30-8:00 (or later) and the party starts at 6:30. That stinks. But thankfully, I'm off tomorrow!

Well, as of right now that's all that I have to say. I'll tell you right now that I won't be able to post everyday, but I'll post whenever I can, so keep checking!

God Will Provide!

I came across this song a few minutes ago that I've had in my library for quite some time but never really listened to. I listened to the words and now I love it! Thought I'd share it with you...

As he walked up the mountain, his father by his side
Never realizing he would be the sacrifice
And when Abraham raised his hand to take his child's life
In his heart he must have wondered why
Sometimes God will take us to unexpected places
But in every situation we will find...

God will provide beyond what we imagine
So much more than we could fathom, He will supply
God will provide when we trust in Him completely
And take each step believing as a child
God will provide

On another hill called Calvary, a Father's only Son
Was offered as a priceless gift of faithfulness and love
Amidst the cry of all mankind, God reached down from above
And covered us with Christ's atoning blood
No matter what our need is, God will always meet us
I know His grace will always be enough!

Chorus 2x

Pictures

Here are some pictures from last week during Campmeeting at the skating rink on Thursday. I'm a little late on posting them, but this was really the first chance that I've had to do it. Enjoy!
