SOLO.



As you know the new me has come with many different changes. One of those changes is me doing my devotionals. I recently purchased a devotional unlike any I've seen or done ((which sadly hasn't been many)) called SOLO. SOLO is written by the people who brought us the Message. The subtitle for the devotional is "An Uncommon Devotional". I knew I wanted to do something different not just the same ole same ole and when I picked up this book at the Family Christian Store, I didn't even know what I was getting myself in too. And I'm glad I ended up getting this book. 

OK, so enough intro - let me tell you why I like it so much and why you should grab a copy. 
Each day you go though 4 steps; Read, Think, Pray, Live. The passage is there for you on the left-hand page ready for you to dive into. Underneath the "Read" section, it doesn't just tell you to read it and move on it tells you different ways it wants you to read that specific passage. It's pretty cool. Under "think" it gives you key points to dwell on etc. and then lead you right into a "pray"er time. It gives you a starting point to pray that day or you can just pray how you feel led. Last but not least it gives you a point to 'Live" on for that day. You continually think about it during the day and remember what you learned in just that brief moment you shared with God earlier that morning. 

I hope that if you haven't found a devotional that works for you, that this one will. 
I give SOLO 2 thumbs up ((wow I feel like a critic... lol)) 

Well, that's just my point of view... :)

Thank You Lord.


AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! NO WAY NO WAY!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I got a car!!!! :) A MINI Cooper S to be exact. WOW! So here is the story. 

A couple weeks back my dad and I went out to look around at cars for me. We looked like every where and test drove a bunch and then ((cue angel Ah Ah Ah and Oh)) we see it. A MINI Cooper. My heart skipped a beat. This is my dream car. We pull into the Audi dealership just to get a look at the price. Then it escalated into something I never could of imagined. Everything was right about this car. It's so awesome you just have to come see it. :) So anyways we end up in the chairs on the other side of the dealers desk-trying to work something out. The car was out of our price range and we thought we could talk 'em down. Slowly but surely we did. It ended up not working out. To make a long story short my dad was still and contact with the dealer and it seemed to be a big NO DEAL and I was trying to move on and find something else. BUT then today my parents show up to pick me up from work with the car!!!! WHAT?!! lol Man I'm just so excited and even now while writing this that my thoughts are all jumbled together. I'm sorry I wanna tell you the whole story, if you wanna know. LET me say this though. It is only be the grace, goodness, and love of GOD and My Saviour Jesus Christ that it is possible to for me to have this amazing blessing. 

If you surrender to God and try your best genuinely even through the hard times He will come through. Praise GOD. and THANK YOU THANK YOU SO SO MUCH. wow :)

On My Way.

Well I just wanted to give you guys a little update on the new me.. It
is such a struggle!!! Wow.. But I have been doing so much better. My
mom bought me this new devotional book called "Solo" by the people who
wrote the Message. It has been really good so far and I am really
enjoying being back in the Word and doing a daily devotional. Me and
brothers sign our intotionals on the calendar to show that we did 'em.
It is also encouraging that they are making an effort in doing their
devotional too. I tell you what you can totally tell a difference when
you are on or off them. Kinda like medication.

Well right now I am on my way to Rock The Universe 2008! Ashtin and I
have kinda made it a tradition to go. We really enjoy catching up with
each other and hanging out. She is such a cool person that goes
through so much and I admire her for that. When we are together we are
basacally always laughing! Haha! We arn't even there yet and I have
come to tears two times already from laughing so hard! Lol.

Soccer: Remember how I told you that I was doing soccer? Well come to
find out I'm doing pretty good at it and I really enjoy it. Except for
the fact that many times I'm on the "skins" team when we scrimage.
Ugh! That is not my thing: public body exposure. Haha! Oh well take
one for the team right? I also look forward to progressing in the
sport. Hey I got a home game, Tuesday around 4(ish). Come and you'll
get a good laugh. lol

Well I'm on my way in more ways than one. Check back soon. Ttyl :)
