friday night= movie night!

SO-- who's ready for the weekend!!?? MEEEE!!! Tonight, me, my sisters and some great friends of ours are going over to hang out at their house, and watch 2 movies...

I've seen part of this before, and it was good. It had some weird dialogue, and some language, but now that we know where it is, we can fass-forward. The girl wore adorable outfits, had a cute haircut, and the guy was cute... :) overall, what i saw of it was cute.

I noticed that this is the same actress from Love comes softly. I have never seen this, but I'm hoping it will be good. Has anyone seen it? Is it good?

well i guess i'll figure out pretty soon.

I'll give an update!:)

So... I'm ready to get a bowl of popcorn, kick back, relax and enjoy the movie! T.G.I.F!

I have to go now...

Have a great weekend!

field trip and a blog makeover!

I got back from a field trip today, at about 3:10. My class went to an enviromental center overnight. It was pretty fun-- we went out in the wetlands and collected "specimens." I was surprised at how many moving tiny organisms were in the water. It was very cool.


We did many other activities, such as team-building, studying the forest, games, etc. The camp was really nice for a camp-- the cabins were awesome! they were built above the ground, and had steps leading up to them. The food was pretty good-- for a camp. Except for the sticky buttery fake-tasting mash potatoes with mysterious looking gravy. Honestly, I'm not a big "cabin-girl" so it was nice to get back home and relax. It was rainy and muddy pretty much the whole time and we were outside the whole time.. yuck!

Today we did this awful orienteering course. For those of you who don't know what orinteering is, it's using a compass. I was awful at it. The counselors had to keep turning me around, and turning the compass so it would be lined up. I did not get anything out of it, and I was seriously embarassed. well, i guess i'd never used a compass before. And, the snobby girls in my class would run ahead and leave me with our teacher, to stare blankly and nod my head. That was the worst part of the camp. :/ It was a fun camp though. I really enjoyed the wetland ecology course. Learned a lot. I 'm ranting now, so MOVING on!

I... FINALLY GOT A BLOG MAKEOVER!! wahoo!! Whacha think? Comments are appreciated!

Fellowship of the Unashamed

"I am a part of the "Fellowship Of the Unashamed." The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits or popularity. i don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. i now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience live by prayer and labor with power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured way, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner is clear: I am a part of the "Fellow of the Unashamed."
Praise God!

~ written by an African preacher.

I think this is a very powerful quote. Many many times, we don't live our lives like this, but I think this is a great example of faith and sacrifice. It was in our church bulletin today. ..

Great song...
