We have been quite busy lately, mainly with things at church and such, in fact my youth group and I are having another small "fundraiser" at our church in a couple weeks. We're going to serve lunch after church on the 15th of April, although this fundraiser is going to be smaller than our past ones, the income will be based on donation (I think). Which is good! Every bit helps! Now you're probably wondering why my youth group is trying to raise money. Well you guessed it! Its for another summer missions trip, but this year we will be going to Minnesota, instead of LaGrange, Wyoming. To be honest, I wish we were going back to Wyoming this year instead of Minnesota. I made friends in Wyoming and the town, oh the town! LaGrange is perhaps the most charming, little town I've ever been to in my life. It is not a large town -only about 3 miles big, and the roads are mainly dirt roads. There is a little grocery store there, very small and cute, and the college there, Frontier School of the Bible, takes up most of the town -and I'm sure most of the talk. :) (Last year we went there to work at the college.) I absolutely loved LaGrange, Wyoming. It actually reminded me a little of the town from Little House on the Prairie. Perhaps that's why I liked it so well. :) Anyways, although I am a bit sad and disappointed to not be going back to LaGrange, I'm still looking forward to the wonderful fellowship and the things God is going to do during our missions trip to Minnesota! Besides, I've never been to Minnesota! -which does make me curious and will make the trip more exciting. :)
My family has made some changes in our diet, mainly because my dad has been having a few minor heart problems (which could become serious if he does not take care of them.) So we have all been making some changes, trying to eat healthier and such. Quite a few of us have been eating oatmeal more lately to the point that some of us our craving oatmeal! -We've even had it in the evening sometimes. ;D Because we've been trying to buy mainly organic and healthier food products lately, I think my sweet tooth is acting up. My brother's birthday is Saturday but we are going to celebrate it tomorrow (he and his fiance' are spending most of the day together on his birthday) and I can't wait to eat some cookie cake!
I got my driver's permit today! :D
What do you think of the weather we've been having lately? I have been loving it! It is just so beautiful outside! One of my favorite things to do is take a walk in the woods! I'm surrounded by God's beauty, the dogwoods blooming everywhere, a canopy of pink blossoms from the crab apple trees, and luscious green leaves, big and small everywhere I go. I just feel so refreshed after walking in the woods, surrounded by God's incredible beauty! Especially during this time of year it is so neat to take a walk in the woods because everything seems to be coming back to life again! -However I also do love the colored leaves during the autumn season and its so neat to see the woods suddenly become a winter wonderland, covered in snow during some of the few winter snows Georgia gets. We did not get one this year did we? -Oh and of course its always nice to take walks in the woods during summer too -its just a little more hot then. ;) But that's why the shade of the trees is good. Every season is wonderful just the way God has created it.
That is all for now. I know I KEEP on saying this but I really do hope to post more pictures on here soon! Have a blessed weekend!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time to harvest.
