New Pictures

So some of these are not really new. I just finally posted them. Some are from last semester and Christmas but some are new.

Lydia! I love that girl. Over christmas break she and I played candyland like three times. She LOVES that game. She also likes to pose for pictures. She is so cute.


Lily. She is so cute. She wouldn't hold still so this is the best I could get.


My bestest friend in the whole wide world. :) Miss Naomi.


Preacher and Mrs. Rowell at Fiesta Ranchera. This was during Thanksgiving break.

This is Catelyn and Carlyn. They are twins. These two girls are on my bus. Sweet girls.

This is Talia Baker. Her sister is two pictures down. They also have a brother named Paul. It's really awesome because these kids have been coming since the route that I am on started 2 years ago. Well, their mom started coming three months ago and has been coming faithfully since. A few weeks ago there dad finally came. He isn't really interested in coming but came. Mrs. Baker doesn't push him because she doesn't want him to tell them they can't go to church anymore.

Damien, Niki, Shalyn and Destiny. This is from when I went home for Christmas break.

This is Mya Baker. She is the oldest. She is seven. Talia is six and Paul is four or five.

This is Destiny sleeping. So sweet.

This picture is from last semester. This is my good friend Tawsha and Rachel. Tawshy is awesome and so is Rachel.

Last semester a few weeks before Christmas break Mrs. Harty had a cookie baking day at her house. Stephanie, a girl named Hilary and I all went and made a TON of cookies. In this picture we were trying to make snowballs which are really messy and sticky.

This is Tawsha and Kyra. Tawsha is putting on the attitude in this picture. :) You'd have to know her to understand.

My good friend Stephanie is letting Laramie help her drive. Laramie is Bro. Jeremy Smith's youngest son. This was taken at the camp. We helped clean one weekend last semester.

Tawsha and her boyfriend Eric at the Christmas Banquet.

Tawsha being goofy. She's awesome.


Me and Tawsha. This is definately last semester because I still had my tan from camp.

My roomates!!! I have the best roomates ever. Sarah and Cheri at the Christmas Banquet.

This is at Stephanie's house. Miss Naomi and I went to her house for the weekend before christmas. It was so much fun. Miss Naomi took this while she was curling her hair.

Chapel

Today in chapel was awesome. It was just what I needed. Bro. P.J preached and he read this as the introduction to the message. I don't know who wrote it, but it's good. I had to share.

I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus is my commanding officer. The Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer and the Word of God are my weapons of warfare. I’ve been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity and tested by fire.

I am a volunteer in this army. I am enlisted for eternity. I will either retire in this army at the rapture or die in this army, but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out or be pushed out.

When my God needs me, I am there. If He needs me in Sunday School to teach children, or to work with youth, or to help adults or to just sit and learn He can use me because I am there. If he needs me in church Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, revival or special service, I am there. I am there to preach, to sing, to play, to pray, to work or to worship. God can use me because I am there.

I am a soldier. I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, primed up, picked up or pepped up. I am a soldier. I am not a wimp. I am in place saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name and building His kingdom. No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy or give me handouts. I do not need to be coddled, cradled, cared for or catered to.

I am committed. I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. For when Jesus called me into his army I had nothing. If I end up with nothing I will still break even.

I will win for God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will also be triumphant. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Devils cannot defeat me. People cannot dissolution me. Weather cannot weary me. Sickness cannot stop me. Battles cannot beat me. Money cannot buy me. Governments cannot silence me.

I am a soldier. Even death cannot destroy me. For when my Commander calls me from this battlefield, He will promote me to a Captain and bring me back to rule this world with Him. I am a soldier in the army of God and I am marching, claiming victory.

I will not give up. I will not turn around. I am a soldier marching heaven bound.

Here I stand, will you stand with me?
