Hey everyone! Long time...no update...so here is one! Well my parents and Saida have moved to Florida.  They are liking it but it is a huge adjustment.  I am currently in Florida for Spring Break.  I just got done helping Saida with her homework and we are taking a break before we go at it again.  She loves her school...so that is absolutely wonderful!! I am very thankful for that...however, they don't have a dyslexic program and so my parents are trying to figure out what to do.  They filled out the application for her to go to Charter school...so we will see if she get's in for next year.  Other than that...Florida is nice...but the people aren't near as nice as East Texas...so that will take a lot of getting used to for my family.  But it's alright.  Just keep praying that they find a church to get involved in and that my mom finds some amazing friends while she is here. 

Tim is in Colorado with some guys from the dorm and they are having a blast....I miss him though!! Can't wait to see him Saturday!

School is going pretty good.  This next half of the semester is going to be full of tests and a 10 page paper and a 8 page paper...so those should be fun. 

Well, there's my update!! Love you all............Here is a picture of Tim and the guys in Colorado...and also here is a sunrise picture that Tim watched this morning......B-E-A-U-tiful!!! :)

Awaken by Natalie Grant

Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing
I'm not really living
I'm only watching the time slip away
I've forgotten who I am in you
I'm not who I'm meant to be, no
I'm drifting farther away from my destiny

CHORUS:
Awaken my heart, awaken my soul
Awaken your power and take control
Awaken the passion to live for you, Lord
Awaken me

My soul is longing, my heart is searching
I'm desperate for you to move
Give me a hunger, pull me closer
I'm crying out to you

CHORUS

Open my eyes so I can see your presence
Dwelling inside
Wake me up, 'cause I can't live another minute
If I'm not shining your light

Awaken my heart, Awaken my soul
Awaken the passion inside of me

Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me
Lord, awaken me to live my destiny
Lord, awaken me and shine your light through me

Give me the passion Jesus, I wanna live for you.

Well everyone...the summer is coming to an end.  This summer has been a lot of fun, excitement, getting to know God more and more each day, letting His love flow all over me and accepting it, God showing me a lot of things...it's also been full of sadness, fear of what will happen the next day, fear of my family being safe or not....but as always...God has won the victory!!! PRAISE HIM!!! I don't know how people go thru life without our Lord!!! It's impossible.  God has been my everything and He has taught me so much this summer!! This summer has been full of so much...my aunt passing away, my uncle in a nursing home, my other uncle meeting someone who has helped change his life for the good, my family becoming closer, what happened to our home (for everyone that already knows..I don't want to go into detail)....my parents being strong and knowing God was in control, lotts of recovering still to do but finally some closure with it all, my dad accepting a job in Florida, my trip to California to see my wonderful boyfriend Tim and his family (it was absolutely amazing), me missing Tim like crazy from having to be so far away from him, but him coming home Tuesday :), lotts of sand volleyball and tennis was played, seeing one of my best friends lead worship at church and just excited to see what God has in store for him, my other best friend being here all summer and for always loving me no matter what and I am excited to see what God has for her also, the growth of our Church (it just blows me away each Sunday)...my prayer is that we stay focused and always allow the Holy Spirit there and follow God's will....I started a new job...I start ETBU in a couple of weeks!!!....My daddy moving to Florida...it's going to be different without him here..but also a very good opportunity for him....my little sister is in 2nd grade!!

Well guys...everyone have a wonderful semester of whatever it is your doing!! I love yall!!!!!!  See you Tuesday night Tim!! I can't wait....I love you sweetheart.....

My prayer for everyone...Gal. 3:14-20....When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.  I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.  Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.  Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong.  And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.  Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.  Now all glory to God, who is able, through his might power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
