A Day

Today it was overcast and cool. We went to Aquinah and Menemsha. In Menemsha I had the most delicious clam chowder that there ever was... Seriously, it was amazing.

I love the beach :)

Martha's Vineyard

Here we are! Martha's Vineyard is a beautiful place. It's been forever since I've been here! I believe I was 3, so almost 14 years. I remember some random things about being here, oh so long ago. We're staying with some sweet friends of my grandma and grandpa.
I walked through the town and to the beach tonight with mom and Zach. Tomorrow we hit the sand and get some tanning in :D Let's hope we have sun.... haha.

G'night!

My Lord is the Treasure

A good day, today has been. Worship night at youth tonight!!! So excited :D Probably my favorite night out of the whole year at youth group. I'm leading my favorite song and I really can't wait.

..."I would run for a thousand years if I knew every step would be getting me closer. I'd swim to the ocean floor for my Lord is the Treasure, my Lord is the Treasure!"

Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement :]

Love<3

Life

My brother graduated this weekend and now I am officially the last Rall in high school. So strange.

I've been so frustrated lately with people asking me what I'm planning on doing with the rest of my life. I DON'T KNOW! Everyone is making me feel like I have to know Right Now how my life will play out, and now I'm nervous and overwhelmed about and by everything. My dad is pushing me to double up my senior year in high school and freshman year in college this fall. I can't help feeling like it's a good idea, but I really don't want to do it. Life just seems so complicated right now! I went to hear a speaker this weekend and he was saying that the Lord puts certain interests in us that He specifically wants to use. He doesn't want us doing something we don't enjoy for the rest of our lives. I don't know... I also heard from someone I really look up to that I should do something I love doing instead of just choosing something for the money I'll make. Not that I'm choosing a career just for the $$. Ugggghhhhh. Life. Oh, wouldn't it be nice to be little again!

Adventure

Off to Jo-Anns!!! Fabric shopping is the best :] Making a dresssssss and a.... shirt? Yeah, let's go with that. Unfortunately I can only make like two things before I leave for Rochester TOMORROW!
I'm sitting at the kitchen table and my mom just walked in. She just sprayed perfume I'm thinking, 'cause she brought a cloud of aroma with her. She looks gorgeous, by the by. Not that there's anything new about that.
Anyway, Josh Groban is singing to me. "Believe" It's kind of a Christmas song, but heck, why can't we listen to Christmas songs in June?! We can, that's right.
Okay, I'm leaving now. Wish me 'happy shopping'. Or not.
Au revoir... <3

Gotta love the Word

These are a few of my favorite passages, and I really felt like I should put them up. So here you go...

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Jerimiah 29:11-13

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20

Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14

Cold

I'm cold. Very very cold. I need an electric blanket and some hot chai tea. ='( Or something that will make me warm. Any suggestions?

I was cleaning my room and listening to Michael Buble, Josh Groban, Kris Allen, Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey a few minutes ago... But I felt like typing, soo hi.

We got an invitation to a wedding today, or maybe it was yesterday.. Anyway, it sounds pretty fabulous. Reception at 7pm with the ceremony following? No, I did not just make a mistake, that is actually how they're planning it. These two are... let's just say "special", so it's no surprise. She probably won't even be wearing a wedding dress....

Moving on. We had our concert last night! Actually we had two of them... I believe I talked about this in a previous post? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, the first one left much to be desired. Was more like a run-through before the big one that night. At Northside in the PM, though, we sounded great! I was very happy with my solo and the two worship sets I co-led. I figured I was off the hook, solo-wise, so I sang my brains out for the rest of the concert. Little did I know that Pastor Bruce would get up on stage afterward and ask for my song again. My heart pretty much stopped. Or sped up, I don't know. But this time instead of feeling like I was 'performing' it was more like leading the congregation in worship. It was an awesome experience!
So now I want to lead worship all the time. =)

Ok, so this wasn't worth reading... at least the music was worth listening to =)
