School Is In!!

I started 8th grade last week!! I can not believe I am now the oldest in middle school!! I thought this day would never come!!!!!! Everything went great!! All of my teachers know what they are doing and all seem to want to be there!! I am so excited to get everything started!! The bummer thing though is that I don't have a lot of classes with my best friends!! It is a good thing though I suppose because it is allowing me to meet and interact with other people!! I am in a pre-ap spainsh class. I was very excited about it...but as the week is going by...it is hard! I have never really learned any Spanish (only the very basics) so this is quite a challenge for me!! I am having the hardest time roll my tongue for the r's. :) Anyway it is great to be challenged daily and I will love being able to speak some Spanish!!! Other then this school has been very fun and a lot of work!! Things are going to be much different this year in many ways. But hey that means many fun adventures that will end up being memories that will last forever. I am so glad God has shown me the 23rd psalm!! "The Lord is my Shepard...I shall not want.." What a humbling verse!! Also I have found a new verse I have to share! It is found in I Timothy 6: 11-12 11But as for you, O man of God, flee these things.Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. This is my verse for this nine weeks!! Have a great day and remember to pursue the right things!!!

Hey!!! This week was awesome!! I made the JV volleyball team!! I am so excited!! We had practice all week and had a scrimmage today! We won every game!!! Also I found this really cool website that is just like you tube except it is all Christian stuff!! The address is www.godtube.com...check it out!! And to add to all this we were swimming today and we found a bunny in the skimmer!! Isn't that crazy!! There is a picture at the top of this experience!! I will write more about my team later but for now just know that making the team is such a prayer answered!! Thanks to HIM!! Have a great day and check you skimmers!!! Please pray for the new experience of older girls on my team!! Have a great day!

Hey!!! I am so tired...but it was so worth it!! This week I had volleyball camp for my school week from 1-4. I was kind of freaked out about it because they are basically our tryouts. I was really worried in a way because I didn't play last year, so I really wanted to make the team!!! Well the first two days of camp go by...and then the varsity head coach asked me to talk to him with my mom and dad! I thought he was going to tell us that I didn't make the team!! Well, God had a different plan! Coach asked me to finish the week practicing with the JV team!!!! I was so excited!! That made may practice a different time so I wasn't sure if I could keep doing my complete best since camp was now 4 hours long with alot more intensity...but God helped me get through the week strong!!! On Monday and Tuesday I get to try out for the JV team! I am so excited!! And to think I wasn't even sure if I wanted to try out!!! I doubt I will make the top JV team..but I am so thankful that this is what God has planned for me! Please pray that tryouts go well and whatever happens that I will know that is God's plan for me! Also I want to share with you the prayer that I pray every time I play volleyball (before practice or a game) here it is.. Lord be glorified through my volleyball and let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you. Amen I got that prayer from a new book I am reading called the real me by nataile grant that I really recommend for you to read!! I am sooo thankful and also please pray that I make sure my heart stays the same!!!! Have a great day and count your blessings!!!
