sorry folks.. I have been busy studying and writing papers... school is still good... I am enjoying myself to be quite honest. My sisiter got married this past weekend... and.. of course.... all of us were in the wedding... soo I was quite frazzled... tryig to make sure each fairy had her wings and glitter.. and my lil pirate had a sword.... in the midst of all of that... guess who forgot their camera? Yes, that would be me.... I know.. I am Stupid.... like duh... who the heck forgets their camera :( anyway... shell bell was beautiful... of course... and I am soo happy for her... and johnathan..... Now I have to get back to studying and Thanksgiving....

So tonight.... I leave you with this thought... what are you most thankful for?
me... I am thankful that I have a God who loves me and keeps his promises.... with out him... I am nothing....without him I don't know where I would be right now... as I am alone listening to my wonderful husband of 11 years snoring... I am thankful God sent him to me.... and in his own time.... How wonderful is that....

so dear Lord and Saviour of my soul,,, I give you all the glory and praise... thank you for saving me and redeeming me.. and washing me white as snow.... I praise you... I worship you...

God Bless you ...

I have been a bad blogger

So much has been going on since my last update. School is going great, I am making it through. It is such a huge accomplishment for me. I am relearning how to study more effectively, and it is really paying off... My first sociology test I made a 74.. not so great, so I figured out how to make myself flash cards... and now I feel like I am doing so much better... my next sociology test was an 96 and it was open book.... the last one I took was a 98... soo I think that those flash cards are helping me out tremendoulsy.... my grade for math is a 96 aprrox. my grade for speech is a 95 my grade for english is a 90 and my grade for sociology is aprox a 95 sooo I am soo pleased with myself.. God has been so good to me... Making a way for me as he promised. I give him all the glory... without him I am nothing...

Ya'll have agreat weekend...... I'll leave you with a song that I am listening to now....

it is by Casting Crowns.... the name of the song is East to West

HERE I AM LORD, AND I'M DROWNING IN YOUR SEA OF FORTGETFULLNESS. THE CHAINS OF YESTERDAY SURROUND ME-I YEARN FOR PEACE AND REST- I DONT WANT TO END UP WHERE YOU FOUND ME- AND IT ECHOS IN MY MIND,KEEPS ME AWAKE TONIGHT- IKNOW YOU'VE CAST MY SIN AS FAR AS THE EAST IS TO THE WEST- AND I STAND BEFORE YOU NOW AS THOUGH I'VE NEVER SINNED-BUT TODAY I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST ONE MISTAKE AWAY FROM YOU LEAVING ME THIS WAY-------JESUS, CAN YOU SHOW ME JUST HOW FAR THE EAST IS TO THE WEST 'CAUSE I CAN'T BEAR TO SEE THE MAN I'VE BEEN RISING UP IN ME AGAIN, IN THE ARMS OF YOUR MERCY I FIND REST- CAUSE YOU KNOW JUST HOW FAR THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST, FROM ONE SCARRED HAND TO THE OTHER...

I START THE DAY, THE WAR BEGINS, ENDLESS REMINDING OF MY SIN, TIME AND TIME AGAIN YOUR TRUTH IS DROWNED OUT BY THE STORM IM IN.-- TODAY I FELL LIKE I'M JUST ONE MISTAKE OF YOU LEAVING ME THIS WAY-- I KNOW YOU'VE WASHED ME WHITE, TURNED BY DARKNESS INTO LIGHT-- I NEED YOUR PEACE TO GET ME THROUGH-- TO GET ME THROUGH THIS NIGHT-- I CANT LIVE BY WHAT I FEEL,BUT BY THE TRUTH YOUR WORD REAVEALS---JUST HOW FAR THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST,, I CAN'T BEAR TO SEE THE MAN I'VE BEEN RISING UP IN ME AGAIN..IN THE ARMS OF YOUR MERCY I FIND REST, CAUSE YOU KNOW JUST HOW FAR THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST... FROM ONE SCARRED HAND TO THE OTHER..
IM NOT HOLDING ON TO YOU, BUT YOUR HOLDING ON TO ME...

THIS IS A POWERFUL SONG... I JUST GET SO CAUGHT UP IN WORSHIP WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG...I FEEL LIKE THIS EVERY DAY... JUST NOT DOING WHAT I KNOW GOD WANTS ME TO DO AND NOT LIVING LIKE I SHOULD SOME DAYS... BECUASE I AM NOT WITH OUT SIN.... BUT HE FORGIVES ME... HE WASHED ME WHITE AS SNOW.... TURNED MY DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.... I TRULY DONT KNOW WHERE ID BE IF I DIDN'T KNOW THE LORD AS MY PERSONAL SAVIOR... AND I NEVER WANT TO LIVE THE LIFE I DID BEFORE AGAIN.... HE IS MY SALVATION.... AND I KNOW HE WILL ONE DAY BRING ME HOME TO BE WITH KENLEY...SO I CAN HOLD HIM AGAIN...

I CHALLENGE WHOEVER IS READING THIS BLOG TO DAY TO .... GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW.... ADN WORSHIP IN THE LORD'S PRESENCE AND IF YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU LIFE TO THE LORD..DO IT! DO IT NOW... BECUASE ... HE IS COMING SOON.... JUST CONFESS YOUR SINS AND ASK HIM INTO YOUR HEART... YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT....

GOD BLESS YOU ALL

I am really loving the school thing.... I gave my first speech and made a 100 on it... perfect.... I couldn't believe it... I was soo nervous at first!! being in from of people speaking formally is not my thing... but I did it and to my surprise I wasn't even nervous... I think it is because ...

I reallly like it!! I'm getting the prime factor thing.. and the fractions.. ssssssoosooo sweet!!! when you haev an AH HA!!! moment.... sociology is great too...just a lot of memorization...and english....
