fishing, fun, and in the sun...

i'm having a blast!! me and my grandpa went fishing with one of his friends...it was great. you know, when you're out on a boat, in the middle of the ocean, you see God's handywork. it's beautiful, and overwhelming. to see the creation that he has made, and see all these beautiful things, and then to think that He loves us more then any of it, and that He created it for us, and that it is in our charge. the most breathtaking sight i have ever seen, is the sun setting over the water, and shining with its reflection. a little taste of heaven's beauty here on earth...

well i'm rambling because i don't have much else to say, but i miss you all...see you soon.

dedication to the best mom in the world....

No one has touched my life in quite the way
that you have.
You've always been beside me,
you've always led the way.
You've helped to form my faith, you've wrapped your prayers around me.
Quietly you've lived the life day by day by day.


just being who you are,
you've been the light, you've been a star;
For in the dark you've helped me see
all that the Lord would have me to be.
And so I say in the words that may be
Too long overdue:
I thank God for every memory of you.

No one can lift my heart in quite the way that you have,
You've had a dream for me,
You've never let it die.
No one has been more wise or honest speaking,
You know me as i am yet you point me to the sky.


mom, this is a song that i found on one of our cd's, but it describes exactly what you are to me. you are a role model, a teacher, and my best friend. you are the most selfless person i know, the sacrifices that you have made for me are innumberable. but i want you to know how much i appreciate it. i respect you, an i want to make you proud. God bless you!! i love you...

yours forever,
peanut

saying goodbye...

i hate saying goodbye to people...especially to one of my really good friends rachel. we have been friends for what seems like an eternity, ever since we moved into town.(8 years ago) i wish i could stay longer. i don't like not being able to see my dad, and espcially don't like leaving after it's been a good visit. when i was younger my dad and i had a not-so-good relationship, but now, we seem closer then ever. i love him so much, i wish he could always be there for me. sorry for the soppy stuff, i'm a little upset about leaving now that i'm here.

anyways...i've got another big week ahead of me, i'm going down to Gulf Shores, Alabama to stay with my grandpa. we'll go fishing and just hang out at the trailer lot. so it'll be lots of fun!!!
i hope you all have great day!!!

fun fishing...

yesterday i went fishing with my friends ray, alex and rachel...i love small town fun!!! we caught nothing, and actually i don't think there were evn any fish where we were fishing at. because we were fishing at a little cow pond at one of the thousands of ponds out in the middle of nowhere. but we were out there until 9-9:30pm. so it was dark and we couldn't see anything...i love being here. and it's really been going well. but the one down side to it is that rachel won't be able to come back with me because her mom doesn't want her flying alone...which is a bit of a dissapointment, but since everything is going so well i'm(hopefully coming back at the end of the summer for a week or so. i still miss you all so much...especially when i have nothing to do while everyone is still in school.(they don't get out until thurs.)
ttyl,

fun to see family....

my brother's graduation just got over. and i saw my dad, i couldn't help but cry...i hadn't seen him in over a year! i don't want that to happen again. the graduation was nice and i saw some of my old friends from here. rachel, ray, josh, katie, and there are a lot of others but those are the primary ones. we're having a graduation after-party right now and later on i'm gonna go over to the turner's house to see some other guys.(and girls) it's been really great! it's gonna be e really good week, i can tell....

love you all,
dani

p.s. i miss you sam

the first day...

well today is the first day of school being out, and there's not much to it..... i've been keeping pretty busy with housework. i've been doing laundry and i cleaned my room. but i miss the everyday drama of school. there is a saying" you don't know what got until you don't have it anymore", and that's how i feel. you think that you get tired of the everyday routine and everyone constantly getting into your business, and maybe it's just me, but i've gotten used to it, so now i miss it.

hopefully i get to spend some time with some of you this summer....so i'll see you all later.

love ya,
dani

great messages!!!

i just came from a youth activity, where i heard what is now , one of the best messages ever!!! the man we heard was from Ambassador Baptist Bible College, he preached on a familiar verse, Matthew 3:23?????, (i think that's the passage) the verse is,"seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." and something that spoke to me was the fact, that your greatest trial in life, could be God's greatest gift. there is something that i (in a sense) must "overcome" right now. but yet God "showed" me tonight, that although i am going throught this tough time, at the end, my trial will become my treasure for having finished my course. so "my trial is my gift". it's hard to explain this without being more specific, yet i was advised to keep it "casual";) so i challenge you all to keep Christ first, and then, your life's mate, your money, your house, your job, and even your joy, will be added unto you (will be given/provided).

love you all,
dani

p.s. if you know the exact reference for the verse, please let me know, i hate the fact that i know a lot of scripture, yet not the references......

memories!!

welp, tonight me and my friends made what i would call," a good memory". ya know one of those special times that you know you'll never forget as long as you live, and will always look back on with great love and affection... ya, well, it was one of those.... it was poring rain out tonight, and as soon a we noticed that it was poring down rain, we took advantage of the situation. and right before church we got soakin' wet!!!! well, obviously we got wet on purpose, but it was totally worth it! we were freezing, or at least me and becca were but it was a good time. thanx for gettin' wet ya'll! oh, by the way, my companions in soakedness were: jeff, becca, and sam!!!!!

well ttyl, i have to go study for finals.....please be praying for them, and be praying that my studying will pay off.

love in Christ,
dani

ending the year...

lots of things are starting to show that the end of the school year is right here. i hate it, because i'm not ready....i'm not ready to say goodbye, especially to my friends sam and jen and brittany. all of them have influenced me in different ways this year, and some more than others. sam, you've taught me so much, and we've gone through alot together, i'm gonna miss you....a lot. and jennifer has showed me great Christain character, in everything that she does she shows Christ's love and testimony. and brittany has been there for me to talk to from the very beginning....so many memories have been made this year, i can't imagine any year to come surpassing this year.

sport's banquet was fun!!! i got a pin from softball, cheerleading, and volleyball, a letter "g" and a medal from volleyball. it was all fun, but i don't think i'm going to do as many sports next year, i want to work on my music, taking piano, and voice lessons. my voice teacher knows people from the music theater and she is gonna try to get me into a play this next year!!!i'm also trying to think of what will be more important in the "long run". using my music for Christ or bruised up legs and a trophy? (kinda obvious answer) so....

it's exam week so i'm gonna go to bed.....i hate exams!!!!!ggrrrr........(or meh)hehehe

p.p.p.s. F.E.A.B.A.L.A.Y.H.M.
