i dont know if you have ever had to give you testimony to younger kids before, or if you can remeber the first time you ever had to. well on omnday i have to give mine. i am insanly nerves! and its like one of those things where i just dont know what to say. whitch i know is wired because its your life, but its so nerveracing (sp?) that i dont know what to say. So as i have been sitting at the computer trying to type up my tesimony i get nerves and frustated! its just one of the those things you have to experiance to know what i am talking about. So i am trying to be good and not wing it but who knows what will happen. i just want god to tell me what to write, but i know he wants me to try to do it on my own at first. and i know that he is sitting right here next to me as i try to figure this all out and is helping me in every way posible. somtimes its just hard to see. (i may use that in my testimony-he works wonders!!!)
i am not at home so i dont have a quotes for you and i kinda dont feel like looking for one or a verce. So i will just leave you sit with this.....
Alison's advice:
God works in mysterious ways. Always be looking for them!

back pain story
So over the weekend i had a water polo turnee. As i play in one of the games i get like tackled by some girl! which i am ok with because thats how the game is played....
So its sunday the day after my turnee and my back starts to hurt and i dont think anythign of it. i just throw some ice and heat on it (not at the same time of corce). i do fine and just go to bed...
Monday.... i wake up and it hurts SO SO bad. but i want to go to YL and WL so i know i have to go to school, which means i also have to go to pratice. so i went to pratice and it was like a crazy pratice really hard and while i am at polo i am DIEING! in so much pain i get out of the pool and was so excited to go to WL that after pratice i wasent anymore! it was quite sad i must say. so i continued my day in pain WL then YL. get home and just want to go to bed so i went up stairs to sleep and tryed to lay down but it hurt SO bad that i couldent. i dident know what to do so i just read sitting up untill i was so tired that i couldent sit up anymore.
Tuesday.... i wake up at 6:45 like i always do and cant get out of bed. my back hurt so bad that i basicly couldent move. so i had to stay home all day. what a bummer. haha. so my mom see that i am in alot of pain now and makes me a Docs apt asap. well there wasent one till the next day in the afternoon. So.....
Wednesday...... i have to go to school because my mom dosent like it when i miss alot of days in a row. so i go. i sit and i walk and sit and walk. all day in pain. finaly it comes time to leave and go to fin out whats wrong with me! my mom seemed to think it was just a muscel spasm so i went with it. cora thought i poped a rib out of place. i dident care what it was as long as it got fixed. the doc comes in and pushes on my back (which hurt ALOT!) and finaly came to see that i had in deed poped a rib out of place. so doc owens comes in (he owns the pratice) and pops it back in. well let me tell you they say it wont hurt... but they lie! it hurt so bad! try not to pop a rib out of place. so it hurt the 1st doc lady came in gave me some perscriptions(sp?) to fill and then my mom asked the question "well what should we do about polo?" doc lady said i cant pratice the rest of the week. which is kinda bad because we have a game on tuesday and monday i have to get out early. i am going to be water logged! YIKES!!
So to conclude my supper long entry (they have been really long latly, crazy) please just pray that i dont get water logged and my back/rib thinger heals good!

YAY CASTAWAY!!
So this weekend was CRAZY! i had a water polo turniment which was insane! we had 2 games friday and 3 on saterday. we lost them all but i think we played prety good. they put me in a position that i have never played before and i was SO confussed! but i was garding this girl and she like tackled me and like pulled a muscel in my back and now i am in major pain! but its alright.
i found out that i am going to castaway this summer for workcrew! i am so excited. at first when i put it down i dident really want to go there but it was the next closest play to go so i dicided why not. i thought i wanted to go to timber wolf but was also kinda unsure about that too. i think i was manly just unsure about doing workcrew. but then i started to read the book that we are supposted to read and memerize the verce. And actualy while i have memerizing the verce it made me want to serve more and more this summer. its just been kinda hard for me to figure out what i wanted to do with it all this summer because my parents will say one thing then say another. and it was manly just like you have to get a job but i really want you to do workcrew. so i started to get mixed feelings. i have that little voice in me say not to go but i think its just the one and many ways the devil is trying to turn me from god. So i sit and i think and i realize that i really really want to go on work crew this summer and really want to serve this kids that will be there.
i also wanted to tell you about this class i am taking. now you are probaly think oh man shes talking about school lets skip over this part... well yes i am talking abotu school but this is no ordinary class. this class is call Adult Living. its basicly a sex ed class. now you are probaly thinking great where the heack is she going with this. well i will tell you. yes this is a sex ed class btu no ordinary talk about absidence is the only way kinda sex ed class. we play games and treat everyone like family. we learn about disibiltys people have, drugs and have speackers come in and of corce sex! but the thing i am getting to is.... we are on the drugs unit and my teach is trying to get us to think about things other than drugs. (for those who do them at least) So we are doing a project. its called 300 things that make me happy. i write down 300 things that make me happy. it sounds easey btu really isant because we cant like name all our friends down or all our fav movies. it has to be senser things. So as i do this i think really hard and i get stuck. and i get frustarted. At that point i just sit relax and think about all the things that god has done for me and think of how happy i am to be here today. this is a great project for me because i get SO frustrated that i just want to sit and mope. so thi project involves me to think positive when ever i am down! thats basicly what i wanted to say abotu the class. i could of shortened it! oh well.
So to conclude this supper long entry i would love it if you would pray for me to stay positive about castaway and about this project. it would help out a bunch!

day by day
Man. my life is CRAZY! i have so much going on and i dont know what to do! lets just say that Winter Jam was AMAZING! i will blog more on that late (with pictures!) but its the days to come that are crazy for me.
A.C.T. it basicly determens the rest of your life. thats how i see it. So i am taking this test (four hours long, might i add) tomarow. i am nerves in a way that not many can see. its been one of those things where people will bring it up to me and i will just kinds give them short ancwers because i am trying to just put it in the back of my mind! its a crazy test and i dont know how to do it. i was driving my friend home from club and he had metioned somthing to me. he said that its like an exam but worse, because you dont know whats going to be on the test! which got me more freecked out about it. not knowing whats on a test just makes me go CRAZY! but everyone (who isant taking the test) has said that they will pray for me! which gave me SO much comfort! So if you could just pray that the testing gose well the next few days that would be great! Oh i probay dident metion that they combinded it with the M.M.E. which is like MEAP. So its 3 days long. YES. long test are my hobby!
On top of testing i have polo AND teachers had the nerve to give out homework. what are they things. the friday after testing i have a math test. this is INSANE! this week is going to be so crazy and stressfull that people may not want to be near me! So i would like to apoligize now if i snap at you for asking me a simple question...
Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Highlights
So sence i havent updated in a while i am going to pull a chris oakland (a.k.a. CJ) and do my highlights (in no paticular order)....
1. MY BIRTHDAY! my birthday was on the 26th of feb. it was fun to get all the extra treatment at school. i got locker signs and food and it was good. excepted i was sick, so in a way it wasent so good...
2. workcrew training. At first i wasent sure if i wated to do it. but then everyone was like convincing me to and i figured why not at least go to the training and at the training it was AMAZING! i got hooked! i cant wait to do it now. and if i only get on the waiting list i will be okay with that because god knows what i am going to do. but i am excited!
3. This hole past weekend was great! my borther is home for spring brake, and normaly i am not too happy for him to come home. but its been very peaceful. we have been getting along and everything. i kinda like it. we kid with each other and its just fun. i like it. i also got to spend all of monday with my friend kailee. i havent hung out with her in a while (we have both been SO bussey) so we made a day to hang out woth each other. we went out to eat, got my phone fixed, and went shopping! it was one of my fav days.
4. i have been babysiting the granger boys alot latly and that is always just a MAJOR highlight for me. its not really a babysiting job because i love hanging out with them, wether i get paid or not. they just teach you SO much. and its just brightens my day!
5. this past friday i went to heartwood. for those of you who dont know what that is, its a school for impared kids. i take this class called adult living and in it we learn about disibilities (sp?) and at the end of the lession we go to heartwood for buddy day. it was one of those experiances that you cant explain, but it was a good one. i wish i could go back!
6. Yesterday my brother had his friends over and i got to see them and talk to them and just sit and observe like old times. i never really relized ho much i liked it untill it wasent there anymore. so i was happy just to sit and enjoy listening and laughing with Will and his friends!
Thats basicly all thats really happend to me (thats a highlight)....
insted of a bible verce i am going to do a quote
"God understands our prayers even when wecan't find the words to say them."
