I didn't really know what to call this post, really I want to ask a question and give a challenge. Do you really value God's Word? We've been talking about this a lot lately in Bible class, in Chapel, and during Wednesday night church.

Pastor Carnes used the example of a love letter, when or if you were to receive a love letter or just a note from someone that you liked/loved/admired, you wouldn't be able to wait a day or even a few minutes before opening it. You wouldn't just look at it and say"I'll get to that later", you would almost tear it trying to open it...So why aren't we like that?(why am I not like that?) Why is it that we don't have that kind of passion for God and His Son who died and took hell for us? We would spare ourselves a lot of heart ache if we just took a few minutes to look in God's Word. Many times we say to ourselves "no one cares", "I don't know what to do", "I can't stand it". Well God sent us His Words!!!! He has told us what we need to do, He has told us that He cares. It gives me chills... Another example that Pastor Carnes used was a flashlight. If you or I were lost in the woods late at night, and yet you had the comfort of having a flashlight. You wouldn't pass that up and say"I can find my way on my own in the pitch black". We would use the flashlight so we could find our way.(obviously) So why don't we use the light of God's Word to help us when we're in the dark spiritually?

Well anyway, like I said, you all wanted me to post, so I posted something that God had been challenging me with.:) I hope you feel challenged, it's proably nothing you haven't heard before but it's nice to be reminded.
God bless,

just...different.:)

well, for any of you out there that haven't seen my new haircut, this is what it looks like. i love it, the only thing that i'll miss is just being able to throw it up in a pony tail or a messy bun when i'm in a hurry. i hope you all like it, i wanted to do something different.... mrs. crowell took a few pictures while my brother was here, she took some of me, my brother, and me and my brother together....

I LOVE ROLLERCOASTERS!!!!

my brother and i went to six flags today. we went on about 6 maybe 7 rollercoasters!! there is a new one called GOLIATH and i refused to go on that one again after the first time, the hills are HUGE!!! and it made me feel as if my stomach had gone into my throat. but then we went on SUPERMAN, when you go on it, you are strapped in as if you're flying. it was sweet!!! we went on a few others, one called BATMAN, and another called MINDBENDER. they all had a ton of loops or corkscrews....it was an exciting and fun-filled day. i loved being there with my brother, the both of us getting to spend some time together alone and having fun doesn't happen very often, so i'm glad it worked out. oh and i forgot to say, it was such a blessing, we were able to get in for 25$!!! when we were walking into the gate(before we had bought our tickets) a guy came up and asked us if we wanted a ticket FREE, obviously we accepted it, and then another guy offered us a ticket for 25$(originally 50$) in exchange for our buy one get one free coupon...it was a great begining to our day. well, i hope all of you had a good day, i hadn't posted in a while so that's why i decided to post this...

skewl shopping...

my mom and i went school shopping last night...i usually enjoy shopping for new school supplies, but not this year. there really isn't anything i'm really looking forward to in this year. except turning 16, maybe. from what my teachers tell me, this year is supposed to be the hardest one, 10th grade. we have american government first semester and then economics our second semester, english, keyboarding, bible, yearbook(or you can have that as a studyhall), geometry, spanish2, and physical science. i have decided not to do sports for this very reason. i had a hard time last year maintaining a C average. but i'm hoping that by eliminating sports, i'll do better. i just have to keep focused and try hard.

i'm going to miss sam and jen...both of them have become 2 of my best friends this year, and they're both leaving to go to pensacola.>:( so i'm going to dedicate this post to both of you....i'll miss both of you very much....so come back and see me once in a while.:)

love you all,
dani
