My Life Story : God's Not Dead

So, I know that I haven't blogged for about half a year...a lot has happened since then! I have grown and experienced things that have changed me completely. We are all doing well. We are busy with church, preparing for camp this summer, working, and so much more. So, here is a little information on everyone:

Dad: Doing well, and busy with work. Since my last post, he has become the teen Sunday school teacher. He loves it and he is certainly a great teacher.

Mom: Mom is still Mom. Still constantly busy, and feeding people:) Please pray for her though, because if you know my mom, you know how much she loves her dogs and one dog is really sick and has something wrong with his spine and if he doesn't get better soon, she might have to put him down. Other than that she is busy working at a flower shop in Orange.

Jon: He is busy with school and hopefully getting a job this summer. He is going to be working on a horse farm with about 27 horses. He is scared of horses by the way, and I don't think that he will last long there, but its a job and its better than his alternative...working at Food Lion. He absolutely hates the idea of working there. So, hopefully, if everything works out he will be working there this summer. He is doing well in school, but can not wait to be finished.

Katie: She is doing well and busy with school, and friend drama. But other than that she has really grown to love fashion! She loves matching and buying new cloths, which is good for me, because I really don't have an eye for fashion. Its really funny, I will walk in her room sometimes and I will either get a NO or I Love It! She is my fashion inspiration:) But other than that she has been semi-faithfully walking with her friend down the street.

Harleigh: Most of you know the situation, and if not I am not going to go into detail. As you guys know I am a very private person, but I will say that she could use your prayers. Like I, I pray for her everyday. I do not know or understand God's will or why, but I do know that God can take a bad situation and change it for good.

Lastly me! So, I have been super busy with school, preparing for college, preparing for the SAT, working, and going to be getting my license this summer, and so much more. This last week was exams, and on top of that I worked some. It was certainly very busy and stressful. But like always I pulled through, and did very well. Those of you who know the situation, which is probably everyone reading this, I have certainly struggled. I always feel like something is missing, and continually praying for wisdom and guidance. I am a very BIG worrier, and don't like to share my feelings with anyone. So, many times I feel alone, and like so many times without answers. And this is where the blog post title comes in...We went to see the movie, God's Not Dead, and it was so encouraging and was really what I needed. I know that it looks like a FFF (feature family film - homemade movie), but it was definitely worth it! Like so many thought, I just knew that it was some homemade movie, not worth seeing, poorly made and acted. The acting and movie was nothing like Thor: The Dark world, but the meaning is what made it so much more. I recommend anyone and everyone to at least watch it all the way through at least once. With all of that said, and this mornings Sunday school lesson has shown me how much and close He really is. I hope and pray that you will all continue to pray for me, and my family. I love my sister with all of my heart, and this is why I am so hurt, and have so much heartache. I hope this does not cause you any concern, but your prayer are appreciated!
