Prayer Request
FOR MY FRIENDS THAT READ THIS, PLEASE PRAY FOR TWO THINGS. KIM, MY COUSIN MATTHEW'S MOM, HAS A MOM THAT IS IN THE HOSPITAL RECOVERING FROM COLON SURGERY TO REMOVE A TUMOR. SHE HAS HAD TWO SEPERATE SET BACKS FROM THE SURGERY AND IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME. SO PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL HEAL HER BODY IN A MIGHTY WAY. ALSO, MY AUNT RUTH ANN'S MOM HAD A STROKE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. I DO NOT KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ON HER, BUT AUNT RUTH ANN IS IN SPARTANBURG AND HER MOM IS IN KENTUCKY. SHE HAS SISTERS UP THERE WHO ARE CARING FOR HER. JUST PRAY FOR AUNT RUTH ANN'S FAMILY IN KENTUCKY AND FOR AUNT RUTH ANN AS SHE IS IN SPARTANBURG. AS YOU ALL KNOW, I LOVE THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS VERY MUCH AND THEY ARE LIKE MY SISTER AND FOR AUNT RUTH ANN, MY MOM. HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU GUYS AND THAT GOD IS BLESSING YOU IN EVERY WAY.

JUST AN UPDATE ON WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO
AS ALWAYS, I STAY PRETTY BUSY SO IT IS HARD FOR ME TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME. SO LET ME TAKE A MOMENT TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN UP TO. I FINISHED THE FALL SEMESTER WITH A 3.76 TOTAL GPA AFTER TAKING 19 TOTAL HOURS AT CONVERSE COLLEGE. I SAY THAT BECAUSE I WAS STRUGGLING AND PULLED THROUGH. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD AFTER LOOKING AT MY GRADES IN THE FALL. DURING EXAMS, MY PARENTS AND I DID NOT HAVE POWER FROM THURSDAY TIL MONDAY NIGHT. I TOOK OFF TO GWOOD TO SEE MY FRIENDS CRYSTAL P., NICOLE, AND CRYSTAL B. GRADUATE FROM LANDER. THEN I HAD A WONDERFUL LUNCH WITH CRYSTAL P.'S FAMILY, KATIE T., AUDREY, AND THE SMITH FAMILY. AUDREY TREATED CRYSTAL TO HER CUTE LITTLE GRADUATION CAPS THAT SHE MADE FOR ME IN MAY AND FOR SOME OTHERS IN HER FAMILY. IT WAS A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.
I ALSO HAD A WONDERFUL SUNDAY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THE HOME OF MAX AND RITA, TWO MY SS TEACHERS. WE HAD THE CHINESE GIFT EXCHANGE, AND I WOUND UP GETTING A FREE WEEKEND AT THE FAIRFIELD INN. IT IS A LONG STORY, BUT I GOT ONE.
THE WEDNESDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS, I DECIDED THAT I MIGHT NEED TO GET SOME CHRISTMAS SHOPPING DONE. I DRAGGED MY POOR BROTHER OUT FOR THE WHOLE DAY. I DID HAVE SOME SUCCESS, BUT NOT ALL THAT I WANTED TO GET DONE. HOWEVER, EVERYONE HAD SOMETHING FROM ME BY THE TIME THAT I SAW THEM AROUND CHRISTMAS.
FROM CHRISTMAS EVE UNTIL MONDAY, I HAD BEEN TO FIVE DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS GATHERINGS WITH MICHAEL'S FAMILY AND MY FAMILY. I GUESS THAT IS THE WAY IT GOES WHEN YOU GET MARRIED EVEN THOUGH WE ARE STILL ENGAGED. HOWEVER, I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME WITH EACH FAMILY MEMBER THAT I SAW.
MY FAVORITE PART OF CHRISTMAS WAS GETTING TO SEE ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE PEOPLES IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, MY COUSIN JONATHAN. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, MATTHEW AND JONATHAN HAVE BEEN MY FAVORITEST PEOLE IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. JONATHAN, HIS WIFE LORI, AND THEIR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER, HANNAH, CAME TO STAY FOR TWO WEEKS (LORI AND HANNAH DID). JONATHAN GOT TO STAY FOR A WEEK AND THEN CAME BACK TO TOWN TO GO TO A WEDDING IN JOHNSON CITY, TN. MY FAMILY AND I GOT TO HAVE LUNCH WITH MATTHEW, KIM, PHILIP, JONATHAN, LORI, HANNAH, GRANDMA, AND AUNT RUTH ANN THE MONDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. IT WAS SO GOOD TO BE TOGETHER AS ONE EXTENDED FAMILY. I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL GROWING UP AND IT IS HARD FOR US TO BE TOGETHER, BUT WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER, I LOVE IT!!!!
I ALSO GOT TO SPEND TIME WITH ONE OF MY OTHER CLOSEST COUSINS, MARIE. IT WORKED OUT PERFECT THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO COME STAY WITH ME. WE HAD A FAMILY GATHERING THE NEXT DAY (NEW YEARS DAY) AT MY AUNT AMY'S (AUDREY, DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS? HAHA!!). ANYWAYS, WE WENT TO PICKENS TO HAVE LUNCH AND HANG OUT WITH GRANDMA'S FAMILY. IT WAS WONDERFUL BEING AT THE HOME PLACE AS I LIKE TO CALL IT. MOST ALL OF GRANDMA'S FAMILY WAS THERE. THEY ARE SO GREAT. MICHAEL WILL GET TO MEET THEM ONE DAY.
THE NEXT WEEK IT WAS TIME TO REPORT BACK TO WORK. I HAVE STARTED THE TENNIS SEASON. TENNIS COULD BE THE MOST BORING THING IN THE WORLD, BUT THE COACHES MAKE IT SO FUN FOR ME AS THEY CUT UP AND HAVE A GOOD TIME AT PRACTICE.
I HAVE ALSO REGISTERED FOR THE SPRING SEMESTER. I WILL BE TAKING TWO CLASSES AND A CLINICAL!!!
MICHAEL WILL ALSO BE MOVING BACK TO TOWN THIS FRIDAY, 1/20. HE STILL DOES NOT HAVE A JOB, BUT GOD WILL PROVIDE THAT IN HIS TIMING. THINGS WILL WORK OUT FOR US TO HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE, BUT WE HAVE GOT TIME. IT WILL COME!!!
WELL, I HOPE THAT THIS BLOG FINDS YOU DOING WELL. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR MICHAEL AND I AND FOR OUR FAMILIES. I THINK THAT THE STRESS IS COMING BUT I AM TRYING TO THINK THAT WE CAN AVOID IT. WE WILL SEE!
MUCH LOVE!!!
GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!!
