Freshman Year... One down and Three to go!

Hey Bloggers! I've been SO busy the past six months, and I just forgot about my little blog. :( But I'm back and with ALOT of news!! :) First of all, I made the softball team!! Woohoo! I loved playing on my high school's softball team. It was SO much fun! I was on junior varsity, and honestly, I didn't care. I was (and still am) on the team, and that's all that matters. We had a total of four games this past season, and lost only one. I have a game tonight, so fingers crossed! Next, Poppie died. My great grandfather, my last living great grandparent, had passed away in april. I miss him so much! But, I know that he is in heaven watching over me. Now Beach Camp 2012!! I loved this year's trip! I got So close to God. I got to hang out at the beach, walk a mile on the pier, and got to experience God's wonders in front of my very own eyes. So, a bunch of people's, that I knew and went to school with, little siblings went this year. I watched at least two of them surrender their lives to christ. I even cried with one in the bathroom. I asked her how she was liking beach camp, and she had told me, "I love it. It changed me." I thought for a second, and I asked her, "You surrendered your life to christ didn't you?" She started tearing up and nodded, and I had tears in my eyes and told her, "Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" and I hugged her and we cried together. Then as a joke and being serious, I told her,"Welcome to the family!" We left and went back to the service. I've had some changes happen to me too that week. I got sick, and the last night, I realized what God has been trying to tell me for months. I decided that instead of the FBI, I'm going to be a missionary when I get out of college. My friend and I are going to Africa when we are done with college. And Lastly, I got chacos!!!! I am so happy I got them, but my mom was SO mad. You see, my family had a yard sale a few weeks ago, and my mom and grandmother decided to give me most of the profit,a total of 138 dollars. I was so glad because I finally had enough money for some chacos! I bought the custom made chacos. Mom was furious. My punishment? to work off the money by cleaning at $5 an hour. But I worked off the money and now I am in chaco love!
