Have you ever felt like you failed at something, and it left you utterly crushed? I certainly have. And because of a false mindset it left me crushed for a very long time. This week I’ve been reading Switch by the Heath brothers as a school assignment. In the seventh chapter I came across this passage that intrigued me.…

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted. I’ve mainly been recovering from the Centennial State Qualifier a couple weeks ago. (I’m still in shock that I’ve finished my Apologetics cards. After writing 90 six minute speeches, you don’t really feel like you’ve reached the end.) As you could see from my last post, I…

It’s over. My Dad gave us the news this morning during family worship. The girl we were planning to adopt has decided she doesn’t want to be adopted. My siblings and myself were very shocked and deeply hurt. I’d like to ask for your prayer for my family, that this hurt will heal. Also for…

Even though it is officially summer, the work doesn’t end with the school season. I’m starting to get overwhelmed with everything I need to get done in the next few months. The general events going on this summer that I’ll have to work around are; a week long dance camp starting next Monday, the 4-H…

Ladies and gentlemen, their back! If they actually left in the first place. On Monday I found another carpet beetle larvae scurrying around on a shirt that was on my floor. The next day I found two extremely tiny (the size of the of head ballpoint pen) beetle looking things. Without thinking, I squished them, so…

I recently came to a very scary conclusion. A week from today, I’ll be Alabama competing at Nationals! You have no idea how that scares me! I feel so much that I don’t belong there, that it was a fluke that I’m going and that I’m taking the place of someone who vastly deserves to…

Last night God answered one of the questions that’s been weighing me down for a few months now. Unfortunately it was at 11:30 p.m. so I’m a bit tired now. 😉 I want to share what I learned with ya’ll. Now I have to go back a bit so you can understand what I’m talking…

I don’t know if you caught the tune I was aiming for in my title, but oh well. You are probably wondering what kind of slashing and who is doing the slashing. To the later question, we only wish we knew so that we could strangle them. (I have to admit, that’s not to far…

Well, I hardly know where to start. So many things have been happening this past week. First off, a week ago, I awoke to one of my sisters… umm… exhibiting flu symptoms. She was quickly followed by another of my sisters. We had hoped that was the end of our encounter with the flu, but…

Well, another tournament is just around the corner… tomorrow! I’m starting to freak out. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn not to procrastinate! I bought some material a couple of weeks ago to make some suit skirts. I cut out the first one today, and it’s almost half finished. I haven’t done much for…
