So, it's been awhile

And now it's November. Tomorrow I am going to cast my vote for our next president.

The month of October was crazy busy, and I ended up coming down with the cold that everyone has been passing around. It pretty much ruined the last week of my life. I've struggled to stay on top of my homework and work. I have a lot of school to do Monday and Tuesday, but if I work really hard Monday I should be able to get it all.

Church yesterday was really good. It was good to be back at church. Singing was a bit hard because my throat is al messed up, but it was still fun.

I've discovered the joy of tithing. I never really LOVED tithing before, but it was something I always did. I had to, and I didn't dislike it, but I didn't like it. It was a duty before God, so I did it. Well, I don't know when the change came, but now I love to tithe. I just love it! It gives me so much joy.

I'm getting back into the Word, and getting that real connection with God. From Monday- Friday I am really seeking God's leading on two different things, and so I am going to be really praying and listening for His heart each night, as well as doing a fast. I won't be drinking anything at all but water for this time period. No coffee, no hot tea, no hot cocoa, no soda, no iced tea, just water.

I got my application for Summer camp at the Wilds! I have to fill it out and get my mom to sign it, and write the check, and give it to Bro. Johnny( my youth pastor).
The week we are going we'll be hearing Rand Hummel speak! YAY! I am super excited. He is such a good preacher, with such a passion for young people. I love listening to speakers whose heart is to lead young people to Christ -not just in salvation, but in ever day life. It makes me feel like I have worth when they show how much they care by giving their lives to help me and my generation.

God is good!
