D.C. Here I Come

This has been a busy week so far.House sitting,baby sitting,Atlanta Fest and now Virginia.Yes,I'm in Virginia as I write this to you.Here's a little review of what's been happening.

Atlanta Fest rocked my face off.Its four days of praise and worship,amazing music,speakers,fun,friends and God moving in a great way.While we were there we went to Stone Mountain.It was so nice.Then every evening we'd get ready for the speaker and worship.Pretty sick.It would take me forever just to try and tell you what happened.One night a band by the name of Sanctus Real was there.The lead singer gave his testimony and shared with everyone about his son due in September.He said that he has a rare heart defect.As soon as he shared with everyone about that I felt led to pray for him.It was so cool how God I think gave me a vision laying my hands on that man and praying for him.I thought that was cool,but insane at the same time.But I still felt led to find that man and pray for him.My friend Kyle who happens to have the same thing as that man's son felt led to pray for him too.My friend Brittany did also.The three of us got in line and to talk to the guy.He wanted us to wait for him to the side until he was done signing.So we did.Kyle then shared with him how he was the longest living people in the country.It encouraged Matt(the lead singer) in such a way.So we got together in a circle right there and prayed for him,his son and the family.Wow!God moved in such a way.That will forever be an amazing move of God that I've seen in life.God is so cool.The whole thing was amazing.Although I had to leave Saturday.I missed a lot of my favorite bands,but its all good.As long as I could experience that move of God,thats what mattered to me.

Today I'm in Virginia.Yesterday I got back from Atlantafest and packed clothes for our trip to D.C.We ended up driving half way to Charlotte,North Carolina.Then headed out this morning for Fairfax,Virginia.Tomorrow we're taking the Metro to D.C.I'm so excited and can't wait to see the history of our country.I have a feeling this trip is going to move me and change my whole outlook on our country.

I'll share more with you later.

Today is a new day.Its also the last day I've lived 20yrs of my life.Have I waisted those 20yrs?I certainly hope not.Last night my family gave me an (early) birthday dinner.My mom fixed all my favorites.Chicken crescents,squash casserole,green beans,creamy mashed potatoes and sweet tea to go with it.Afterwards my nephew was begging us to get together so we could all eat cookie cake and ice cream.That kid is hyper enough as it is.haha!He also tried to blow out my candles before I could.Then he asked me if I had tickets to the show.'What show?'...he was giggling and said 'To the gun show',while showing me his muscles.That silly kid.Then he decided to show me a "smarkle." Its a word he made up with some face he makes.I wonder if its between a smile and a sparkle.Hah!I don't know.
My sis got me a book about my new camera I got.I'm excited to study up on it and learn more to it.Especially before I go to D.C. in two weeks.I can't wait to learn about that place and the history there.I'll have pictures in a few weeks.Next week I'll be headed to Stone Mountain for Atlantafest.Its a week event filled with Christian artists coming together and worshiping our Heavenly Father.I can't wait.

Tomorrow me,David,Heather and I think Larsen are going to go to Kennesaw park and have a picnic for my Birthday.I'm excited!I can't wait to hangout with them.We might do other stuff too.It shall be fun.So until then I think I'm going to enjoy the rest of my day being 20 for the last time.Its crazy to think I will never hit this millstone in my life again.

So Much On The Brain

Summer break has officially started for me and I just don't know what to do with myself.It always happens around this time.I can't wait to hangout with friends and get those little boogers out of my hair.But I still miss them a bunch no matter how annoying or cranky they got.They kept me going.I hope they all have a wonderful summer.

I've been reading in the book of Daniel here lately.Everything about it is so good.I've never really studied that book before like I have here lately.Its so awesome when God shows me a different thing each time.Daniel has become one of my favorite O.T. books.You should check it out and read it sometime.
My goal over this year is to finish reading all of the Bible.Then of course start over again.I'm over halfway there.I'll feel like I've accomplished something when I finish.

Today has been nice.Sleeping in,reading some Word,pretty much relaxing all day.My parents
and I just got off the phone with my nephews.So cute!!!They kept me laughing.Every time they'd talk,Mitchell would press buttons.They kept on laughing and cutting up.It was so funny.Mitchell was singing the blessing at one point.Then he would tell us "Uh u!"(Love you!) Those kids make my day even if they're crazy at times.I love it and I love them!Tomorrow my family is celebrating my Birthday early.I can't wait to see the boys and of course my sis and "bro."It shall be fun.I'm not really looking forward to turning 21 for some reason,but I just gotta suck it up and take it like a woman.I'm facing the facts that I'm getting older.No more being a little kid.I think thats the reason why I like being around kids.They always seem to have more fun than adults do.Maybe this birthday will be a good one to remember and enjoy.So to all of you June birthday's out there,Ya'll rock!And I hope you also have a wonderful Birthday.Be daring,try new things,go sky diving,travel the world,do something different.And have fun!
Have a lovely day!
