A Poem That A Friend of Mine Wrote!

April 26, 2010 in Uncategorized by God Keeps His Promises! | 2 comments

you’re concerned i’m making choices that arent so good for me.but ive begged and pleaded for to go and leave me be.

I say that i’m grown up now,and need no shelter from the rain.But bottled up emotions just leave me feeling pain.

its like there is a fence keeping all these thing inside.Until i build up so much that theres nowhere left to hide.

I told you just to back down,but you never let me fall.All this time i thought u left me ,yet you were there through it all.

i cant believe it,its not right,how could you truly care for me.All the things that i have done and the man i’ve come to be.

You told me about the price you paid to help me with my strife.And along with lifted burdens comes a whole new life.

I accept this gift you give me,and start my life a new.So now i’ll take this brand new person and live to honor you.

Before i let you in my hearti thought"where could i go".now my lifes forever changed by the mercy that you showed.

So i’ve taken off the old man,and i’m living in the new.Lord Jesus i’m so grateful that i gave my life to you.

A Grand Journey

Hello everyone,

     Can you believe it?  I’m actually posting.  :O  ;)
Well, a lot has transpired since the time I posted an entry, and by a lot, I don’t mean several different things, just one REALLY big life changing thing………but you probably don’t care.  Ok, you might care, so, whether or not you care I’m going to tell you.  I have been accepted into Pensacola Christian College.  Here is the story of how it all began.
    First of all, I will tell you what I was planning to do before I decided to go away to college.  For a few years, I hadn’t really planed on going to college at all, I planned to just stay at home and live with my parents.  Eventually I decided to go to a community college for two years and major in photography.
    In March of 2006 our family visited PCC (Pensacola Christian College), and our entire family feel in love with the college and the idea of us attending there after we graduated.  Gabriel and Holly (our 11 year old sister) have been planning on going there ever since.  My mom wanted to meet with a representative from PCC to learn more about the college since Gabriel new that that was where he would be going after we graduated.  In October of last year there was a rep. in town, so my mom took advantage of that opportunity and scheduled a time to meet with him and his wife.  She told him that it would just be her, my dad and Gabriel, knowing that I had no interest in attending PCC.  When my mom told me that they were meeting with a rep. I told her that I wanted to go and she was quite surprised.  At that point I still had no intentions of attending the college, I just thought that it couldn’t hurt to tag along.  That afternoon before we met with the rep at Chili’s for dinner, my mom was looking at the PCC website, and wanted Gabriel and me to look at the different majors that they had so that we would have an idea of what we wanted to do.  I still wasn’t sure about the whole idea, but I was starting to consider it.  We had a wonderful time at dinner with the rep. and his wife, they were a very sweet couple and very helpful.  It was an encouragement to see what they were doing for God.  Near to the end of our meeting, Gabriel filled out an application to turn in.  By then I was pretty sure that I wanted to go to PCC, but I wasn’t ready to take that BIG step of applying for college.  I went home and prayed about it for a few days.  One night, I was lying awake in bed thinking and praying about having a peace to go to Pensacola Christian College, and I started thinking about when I had full intentions of going to a community college and living at home, and just then I realized (or more like, God told me) that I never really had a peace about staying at home and going to a community college the way I had a peace about going to PCC.  Through a series of paper work, phone calls and prayer Gabriel and I were both accepted in to Pensacola Christian College in November of last year.  I keep getting more and more excited about.  People keep telling me that the college years will be some of the best years of my life and that life is going to dramatically change.  Gabriel and I are both happy that we will be going to the same college at the same time to help each other with getting used to being away from home for more than a week for the first time in our lives.  Our little sister is excited to have her own room and bathroom.  Once we leave she will begin to realize that she REALLY misses us and vis-versa.  Gabriel is going to major in Broadcasting and minor in Political Science.  I’m planning to major in music with a concentration in voice.  I also hope to minor in Violin and take photography as an elective.  Life already seems to being changing so much already, I have so much to think about and so much to look forward to, that the thought of it alone can almost seem overwhelming at times.  We have many family members and friends that are excited for us and continually encourage and pray for us.  We are going to miss them so dearly.  I ask that you pray for my brother and me as we embark on a grand journey, beginning June 12th 2010 (the day we graduate from high school). 


Love In Christ,

Hannah

WISDOM TEETH

Hey everyone,

                Well, I just thought that since I have been sitting on the couch since yesterday morning I would write and let y’all know what’s going on. :)   Yesterday at 10 a.m. I had my wisdom teeth removed. :(   So far everything is going alright.  Yesterday my jaw hurt but now it’s fine, up until this afternoon my throat was sore (just from being sick before hand), it feels fine so far.  My lower right cheek is swollen on the inside and it’s pretty annoying and both of my cheeks are swollen on the outside, it’s kind of funny looking, kind of not. ; ]  The only thing I have eaten the past two days is basically baby food.  Pudding, Jell-O and apple sauce is not very filling so this afternoon my mom made me some instant mashed potatoes and that was GOOD, considering everything else that I had eaten. :)   My brother is supposed to bring me some mashed potatoes from Arby’s when he gets home from work.  Arby’s mashed potatoes are BEST! :D   So, other than eating baby food I have just been watching movies, facebooking and sleeping.   Let’s see, what else have I been doing since school started, I started my very first photography class which I am just soaking up, there are so many things that I can do with my camera that I had no idea about. :D   I also started violin lessons which I also love.  I can already play "Twinkle, twinkle little star" and I am working on another song called "Lightly Row".  I got a violin for Christmas about four years ago and wasn’t able to take lessons until this year, apparently the wood that my violin is made of is too soft so I doesn’t hold it’s tune so I’m getting a new sometime this week and I am SSSOOO excited, and so is my little sister because is gets to play around with my "old" one when I get my new one.  Anyway, my pain meds are making me pretty dizzy, so I’m to end this post. :)  

God bless
Love,
Hannah

P.S. I am very sorry about all of my grammatical errors, I’m just too dizzy to proof read. :/

Finally Posting

Hey everyone,

       I know what you must be thinking, "WOW, she’s actually posting". ;)   I have been quite busy over the summer, as I’m sure most of you were as well.  I have been working quite a bit and I have had a lot of church activities.  For example, VBS and youth lazer tag all nighter in June, Teen camp in July as well as a teen competition cook out and earlier this month our youth group went to an amusement park (which was a BLAST) and we are going on a hike on Saturday (so excited).  This summer has truly been a blessing from God.  A few friends of mine (that I was pretty close to before) have become very close friends.  They are such an encouragement to me and I couldn’t possibly ask for better friends.  We even gave each other nicknames (ridciulously funny ones).  We have this joke going that it’s either mine or my brother’s turn to get hurt.  Michael passed out (a few years ago), Bethany threw up (that was a while ago too, she’s not going to be too happy about me telling this), :) Erica fell off a bike at camp and got bad sracpes on her arms and legs, Liese had an asthma attact (don’t hate me because I’m telling everyone this) and Logan cut his hand the other day.  These are all acidents that happened at church activities.  :D   So, yeah, I’m a little concerd for my safety, as well as Gabriel’s.  But it’s ok, God will protect us.  I am looking forward to the up coming events at church, including; the Christmas Cantata practice, annual missions conference, the hike (like I menioned before) and several other things.  I’m also pretty excited about being a Senior in High school this year.  AAaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless
Love,
Hannah
