Slacker..

yep, that's what I am, a slacker when it comes to posting.. I've been quite lazy lately and not been in the mood to post.

Christmas was AMAZING! I am very thankful :)

I'm having headaches still.. and they've been worse the past few days.. I'm going to the neurologist tomorrow.. joy... :/
Please pray.

Umm..

last night.. err.. this morning I suppose.. at about 12 or 12:30.. I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep and I couldn't for ANYTHING and I just got really discouraged about stuff for some reason.. I texted a couple people for prayer, but still didn't feel better.. It was like I needed to talk to someone right then but didn't know who I should call.. thinking back I know who I should have called.. I texted them.. But I needed to hear their voice, but didn't want to wake them :/ Hopefully tonight will be better.

I woke up with a HORRIBLE headache and decided to try to go back to sleep.. it didn't really work. It took me FOREVER to get back to sleep, and when I did I only slept for a little bit and my mom woke me up at 12.. yes 12. O:) but my headache STILL wasn't better! Grr! I took some meds and such so it got a little better but right now it's hurting pretty bad..

umm backing it up a tad bit..

this.. afternoon/evening/night? We [my mom, Mrs. Tammy, Andrea, Morgan, and I] had our annual "baking day".. we do this every year and get together and bake goodies and such. We usually do it before Christmas, but this year there was just not time! So we only baked a few things today.. then we ate and popped in a movie. It was a really good movie! "Bella" was the name of it. I loved it. :)
All in all, it was a pretty good night :)

Now, I'm just sitting here listening to my music.. Thinking about going to bed a bit earlier than usual tonight..

Well, I hope this post has caught up enough.. I don't remember everything that has gone on.. Sorry. :/

I shall leave you with several pictures..


Bakinggg

Cuuuute!

Morgan wanted a picture of me since I was part of the "baking fun"... so she handed me a ketchup bottle that was on the table.. lol.

so, that's all. If you wanna see a few more pictures you're going to have to go to my facebook..

Love you all.

**If He brings you to it, He WILL bring you through it**

Staying up till 5 a.m. watching movies and hanging out? SURE!

Wednesday night I was suppose to spend the night with Lindsei so we could hang out before she left, but instead we went to Emily's and spent the night with her, Andrea, and Chelsei. It was fun. All of us, except for Andrea stayed up till about 5 a.m. We only got like.. 4 hours of sleep. And I didn't get enough sleep last night either.. so I'm still exhausted.

Ummm... yeah. Most/all of you have facebook.. so you pretty much know what's going on in my life I guess.

Just incase I don't get back on here.. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Later..

I love this song.




Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known and show us the way back to Him
Speaking wisdom and truth into the hearts of peasants and kings
He began to unveil the Word that would change the course of all things

With eyes wide open, all would see

The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth, it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive

Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed, carried on from age to age
It speaks Truth to us even still
And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns
Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve

With eyes wide open, let us see

The Word is alive
His Word is alive

Sooo....

I have an MRI on my head Monday morning. I'm scared to death.. And I don't want to go. But HOPEFULLY they'll figure out why I have these headaches!

The other day I didn't have a headache for like two hours. Maybe more! Woot! It was so great!

I wish I could express my feelings right now, but I cannot. Just.. pray for everything in my life. I don't handle situations well at all.

I don't really have anything else.

~k~

He cares about the little things!

God is so great to me! I am oh so thankful to be a member of HIS Church!


Update on my headaches..

Went to the pediatrician Wednesday morning before spanish class, they didn't say too much.. But prescribed some medicine for me.

My headaches ARE getting better, thankfully. I do still have them a lot, but they haven't been as bad.

Now, back to my title..

Last night as I was about to go to bed, I could NOT find one of my stuffed animals that I sleep with every night. It's a dog and it's kind of small so it could easily be lost. I looked all over in the dark and could not find it. I finally started praying because I wanted to find it and I don't think I could have slept without it, my friend gave it to me after my grandfather passed away and it means a LOT to me. I was almost freaking out because I was torn up that I could NOT find it.

Right after I prayed, I pulled my covers over me, I FOUND THE STUFFED ANIMAL DOG! It had been in them. Thank the Lord! That is LITTLE BITTY compared to most things that I pray for, but it is still an answered prayer.

I might not have found that stuffed animal, and might not have slept at all if I wouldn't have prayed. I am thankful for this. It boosted my faith, big time. God knows when we need something, and He will give what we need to us.

Don't ever feel like "you are not important, or that you have this little thing that is troubling you but there are too many other big things to pray for and God doesn't care about your little trouble." That is NOT true in ANY way! He cares about everything! He cared about me finding my little stuffed animal, He will care for you with whatever it is :)

I haven't been blogging the past few days, I never felt like it. But I just wanted to give you updates and hopefully encourage you..

God Bless.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6

I don't like the eye doctor.

It's not my eyes that are causing my headaches! I have amazing vision! That's good.. But bad. I still don't know what the problem is!

I'm going to the regular doctor tomorrow morning and hopefully I find out what's wrong.

Be praying!

Goodnight!

~k~


My bestbestbestbestbestbesttt friend in the whole world and IIIIIIIIIIIII !! :)

FINALLY!

I'm going to the eye doctor today! I'm really hoping I just need glasses and these headaches will stop. I kind of want glasses because I enjoy them O:)

haha.

So. I'm not really in the posting mood right now..

I will hopefully post when I get back from the doctor this afternoon.

Pray that's all that's causing these headaches!

Thanks!

[HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DADDY!!!!!!!!]



I will ALWAYS be Daddy's Little Girl :)

Update on my headache..

Yes, I've still got one. I woke up this morning with a horrible one and it got worse while doing school this morning. I took an Advil around 10 probably and it has finally gotten better.. It's not gone.. But it's not killing me. THANK THE LORD!! I could have taken an Advil about an hour ago, but I don't like taking medicine when I know God can heal me.

Today was a very stressful day in school. I was off of school last week for Thanksgiving.. So I got SO frustrated and UGH!

Tomorrow is my daddy's birthday! I don't know exactly what we're doing.. Yet. Hmm.. I need to make him a card.......


Well, I need to go set the table before my mom gets upset at me...

Please continue praying for my headaches.

Love,

~k~


Shine your light..

Not a time to post..

because I'm about to go to sleep after I read my Bible. For the past week [maybe longer] I have been having HORRIBLE headaches! Well, more like migraines. The other night I laid down on my FLOOR and put a wet rag on my forehead. It makes me incapable of doing pretty much anything. I take two Advil every 6 hours [except when I am sleeping] and usually Advil doesn't help much. I don't know what it is.. It's driving me NUTS though!

I know some of you know how this feels, so please pray.

I need to know what's causing this pain.


Thanks.

Goodnight.

Goofy Pictures, Crazy Times; Sisters at Heart, Partners in Crime <3

Umm, where to start...

Monday night some of the Youth went over to Crystal and Emily's apartment and hung out to say "goodbye" to Crystal since she'll be gone for about four months. We watched a movie and then went to Cozumel. It was fun, but sad for me. I totally ALREADY miss her. :(

Yesterday I went and got inserts to put in my shoes because my ankles have been hurting me for a while. Then mom, my grandmother, and I went to some Thrift Store in Murfreesboro. I found a black velvet skirt that is CUTE! :)

Later on, Morgan and I got dropped off at the shopping center [Target, Claire's, Kohls, etc.] here in Smyrna, and shopped for a couple hours. When we went to Target, we both found a pair of athletic pants for five bucks!! Mine are pink and hers are navy blue.
I love mine so much! They are super cute and sooo comfortable!!

We got picked up there and then Morgan came home with me and spent the night! :D

This morning I had to go to the doctor at 9:15 :(

Morgan and I came back home and hung out for a bit and then my grandmother took us to Goodwill!!!!! I got a hoodie, a skirt, and a t-shirt. I love them! [I also got something for my mom, and then a little picture from that has something knit in it. haha.]

Now, my aunt Tami, my cousins Remington and Storm and then Remington's friend Justin are here. [also their dog, Minnie] and are leaving tomorrow evening.

Okay, I am getting off here.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Love,

~k~


Morgan, Gracee, and I :D

It's been a little while

since I've posted. I've been gone a lot and just haven't taken the time to post.

And I'm still not in the mood to post.

I will say..

The Antioch youth had a lock-in Friday night. Most of us stayed up allllll night. It was exhausting.

I stayed up till 8:30 a.m. Saturday morning. And then I went to sleep at home and slept till 3:30 p.m. and I still slept last night! I was so exhausted.

Church went well this morning. After morning service we had a "Thanksgiving Dinner" and it was sooo good!
Then I went to play practice. I didn't have to be there, but I wanted to be ^_^

Church tonight was REALLY good! The Holy Ghost moved and it was amazing! SUCH a GREAT spirit there! I cannot WAIT to see what the Lord will do this year in His Church!! It's soooo exciting!!

Is anyone else happy, thankful, and excited to see what the Lord HAS done, IS doing, and WILL do??

I am in love with this little chorus. I hope I got it right:

Thank You, Lord for saving my soul
Thank You, Lord for making me whole
Thank You, Lord for giving to me
Thy great salvation so rich and free


On another note- I am sooo sad that Crystal is leaving for Snowshoe, WV so soon. It makes me soooo sad. She is SUCH a GREAT friend and I will miss her TERRIBLY. She is a WONDERFUL role-model and I look up to her SOOOO MUCH! I love you, Crystal!! And I'm praying for you!

Well, I'm tired of typing now.

I love all of you and hope you all have a great night!

Love always,
~k~



That's me and my 'big bro' Brandon! He's truly like a big brother to me, And I think this is an ADORABLE picture!

Life Is Good

Okay.. So Ladies Day Saturday was AMAZING! God did GREAT things and Blessed me sooooo much!

Yesterday [Sunday] was good too! Church was REALLY good!! :)

After church the Youth headed to Sis. Amy's house for play practice! I didn't feel too well, considering I ate three pieces of pizza for lunch because I was STARVING...

We {Keith, Matt Zimmerman [sp?], Autumn, Morgan, and I} left Sis. Amy's around 4:30, stopped by Keith's house, and then headed to Portland for church! Sis. Zimmerman [sp?] preached yesterday morning at Antioch, and last night at Portland and we went up there to support her, and to see some of our friends that go to church at Portland! The ride there was soo fun. The service was great!

Bro. Shaw had EVERY lady that went to Ladies Day Saturday stand up and testify about it.. well, since I went.. I had to. I was not too ecstatic about that.. Just because I don't like speaking up in front of people.. But I testified. It was very short [luckily we got to stay at our seats ^_^]. During service, I started cracking up over some things and hope I didn't disrespect anyone, I held it in as good as I could.

After service we {Brandon, Tyler, Matt, Morgan, Autumn, Keith, and I} went out to eat at Subway. I did NOT feel like having Subway.. But knew I needed to eat because I was hungry for some reason, so I did. I don't know WHY but the Subway just made my stomach hurt.

Oh wait. Back it up a bit. At Subway, Keith had old, stale, hard bread.. And he threw it at the wall, it bounced off, AND HIT ME IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! It was sooo funny and he didn't mean to! I was cracking up!!

The ride home was pretty fun.. We listened to some sad songs for SOME REASON and I was all sad after that! But I got over it :P

Morgan slept on the way home.

When I got home, I had a TERRIBLE headache and just did NOT feel good! So I went to bed at a.. Decent time.. For me at least!

Today, my mom woke me up at like 8:30 and I stayed in bed a while 'cause I STILL did NOT feel good AT ALL!
When I did school, I kept crying 'cause I was just EXHAUSTED and did NOT feel like doing school and didn't think I'd ever be done!

I took a nap this afternoon :) It wasn't quite an hour long nap.. But it still helped some. I woke up from the nap with an even WORSE headache. But I decided to Praise God because He has done so much for me. So what if I don't feel good! I'm sure it didn't "feel good" to hang there on the Cross like Jesus did, but He didn't have to. He did it because He loves us. Ahh. That makes me SO happy! Thinking He suffered on the Cross for ME! ME!!!!

I am SO thankful for what I know!

I WILL Praise Him In My Storms!!

I Surrender ALLLLLLLLLL To HIM!!!

Oh, How I LOVE Jesus!!!!

Needless to say, I started feeling better and now feel REALLY good! Even though I do have a headache!

I hope you all have had a WONDERFUL day in the Lord!

God is LOVE! God is PEACE! God is.. GREAT!!!!

Love you!

**Remember: When Life Knocks You Down To Your Knees, You're In The PERFECT Position To Pray!!

~k~

Note to self: NEVER stay up till after 1 a.m. texting then have to wake up at 7.

That's what I did last night. I really need to get un-addicted to texting. Seriously.. I stayed up till about 1:30 and had to wake up for tutorial at 7. NOT SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!! But oh well. I will get over it.

Umm.. What's new.. hmm.

Since I've been back from Virginia.. I haven't done that much. I have done school and nothing else but sit on the phone/computer since then. Other than when I went to church Wednesday night. And last night, I went to the Murfreesboro Church. As most of you know, some of the Antioch Youth group go to the Murfreesboro Church on Thursday nights [that's Murfreesboro's mid-week service] because they do not have but one Youth I think, and it really encourages them. I started going there once soccer season was over.. It's always so much fun and a great blessing!

Today.. Tutorial was okay I guess. I go to Study Hall first hour. Usually I just do History or Science in study hall, but I had spanish homework and I decided to that. And I'm GLAD I did that! I got ALL of my homework done! So no Spanish for me until Wednesday morning!!!! YAY! And lets just say, that is a FIRST for me!! I always wait till the night or two before class to do the homework, But not this week! YAY!!!
Drama Class was good. We went over our skits/plays. I have one short skit that I have to do with two other girls. I am the mom. I don't want to do it. But I have to. At least all I have to say is "You better not...." "You wha?" "Little girl, you better be..." "Ok.. And you? Alright.. and... ok. I'm going to go look at the car and... well.... ok...." or something along the lines of that. One of my "daughters" in it wrecks my car. lol.
So yeah. That was all that happened in drama today really.. haha.

Umm.. I haven't done anything else today. And don't really plan to... I wanted to spend the night with Morgan.. But we never worked it out. But I need to SOON!! I MISS HER!!!!! :]


Umm.. Tomorrow, is Ladies Day and I'm excited!!! It's at the Murfreesboro Church and I guess it's all of the ladies in the church that live in TN? I don't know for sure. But it's something like that.

And also tomorrow, my grandmother is coming. She is staying till the week after thanksgiving. Luckily I think she is going to sleep in my brother's room and he is going to sleep on the couch in the living room ^_^ which makes me happy because I don't have to give up my bed!! :D

I love my grandmother to death, I really want her to get saved! Please help me pray that she does :) She's a smoker and such and she isn't in the best of health so please pray she gets saved!
Thanks!

Well... This has been a long post and I don't really have anything else to say.

Love you all and hope you have a fantabulous friday and Saturday and Sunday just in case I don't post tomorrow!!

~k~


Gracee and I at the Costume Party

Back from Virginia..

..and missing it :(
Virginia was awesome! It is soooooo gorgeous up there! Last Tuesday, on our way. Mom and I saw 27 cops!!!!!!!!!!!! No joke!

And I don't feel like posting. Because I want to go eat. Haha.

I miss my friends and cannot WAIT to see everyone!!!!


love youuu

~k~

Please Pray.

First off, I have a friend who I have been trying to witness to, and he will NOT budge at all. He won't listen to me or anything and I've been trying to HELP him. He called me retarded the other day because I believe differently then him?? But please just pray that the Lord will touch his heart and make him WANT to know MORE about THE TRUTH! Because I don't want any of my friends to be sent to hell. :(

Second, I have come down with some kind of cold or something. It is really bothering me. My nose is running like a faucet and I am tired of it! And I'm super tired and all that junk. I leave Tuesday for Virginia and I need to be better by then. Please keep me in your prayers.

Thanks.

Love y'all

~k~

Yes, In fact I am still alive!

I know, I haven't really posted like at all lately. I've just not been in the blogging mood really. But I thought it'd be good to post a lil something.

Well I have been feeling amazing lately! :) God is so great! I have no reason to be depressed at all! Ever! I have SUCH a blessed life and I am VERY thankful for that, and I'm finally realizing it :) Thanks to my wonderful friends :)

One of my friends, who I have grown closer to since this past summer, has been a wonderful encouragement in my life. She has made me want to strive more and more towards getting to Heaven. Yes, of course before this friend; I WANTED to go to Heaven 'cause who doesn't?? But I didn't have as strong of a desire as I do now. Since I've already kept you waiting this long, I will go ahead and tell you that Chelsei Henderson is the friend to who I am referring. I have never been that close to Chelsei before, I don't know why.. I just haven't. But this past year, I have grown much much MUCH closer to her and I am so thankful for the relationship we share! She is always there for me when I need her. She is very straight up with me when I need it. She will tell me if I have not been acting right, and everyone needs a friend like that. Because until Chelsei confronted me in a LOVING, CARING, but still very blunt way, I never listened to my other friends about how I had been acting; When they would confront me about stuff, I would easily get upset with them. But then there was Chelsei :) and a very blunt message over facebook [sent by her].. But so, so true. If you don't know Chelsei personally, then you're missing out on blessing after blessing!
I hope she has even the slightest idea of how much she means to me. I don't know if you will read this Chels, but I love you, my wonderful little British friend. I cherish our friendship and NEVER want to take advantage of it.


In other news, the Youth at Antioch have been hanging out more and more and I LOVE it! If I EVER have a chance to hang with them, I do. We have SUCH a large Youth group at Antioch that a lot of our other churches do not have. I am very blessed, and very thankful.

Umm.. I can't think of much else.

I'm heading out of town either Monday or Tuesday of next week to go to Virginia and visit family.. I'll be missing 3 church services and I think I might die... :/

Anywho, I'm tired of typing things out..

So later!

Love all of y'all!

~k~

P.S.

I MISS THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU MEGAN AND MICAH!!

Here Am I- MercyMe
