Hey everyone!
The next few days are going to be finals. I'm a bit nervous. But then again I'm nervous when it comes to just about everything. I'm a worry wart, sad but true. And I shouldn't be. I just think my type A personality makes me worry about every single choice in my life. God doesn't want me anxiety filled. Oh no, He wants me to be in His peace that surpasses all understanding. Unfortunately I don't usually hold onto that peace. Instead I worry, worry, worry.... I'm learning little by little to trust Him with everything, even down to the little math quiz. It's not easy for me. I want to control so much, while God says, let Me handle it. I want to plan my future, while God says, let Me handle it. I worry about everything, while God says, let ME handle it. Yes, trust is what I'm learning a lot about right now. And if any of you have a good verse or a word of advice I would love to hear it!
I've been writing a story with a friend in this neighborhood. She's the youth pastor's daughter at my church and they moved in here about six months ago. She's a sophomore at my high school as well. We've picked a strange topic. It's on the Holocaust. It may sound strange, but I'm learning a lot and we're having fun since both of us love to write. And this time I may actually finish a story! I'm still working on that other one. It will probably be awhile till I finish it. But I'm definitely going to try to finish it.
The youth pastor and another family from our church came by yesterday and dropped of a Christmas tree! We were not going to get one this year because we couldn't afford one. I was very happy to have gotten a tree! This is why I love my church. They see a need and fill it. We have a lot of wonderful real Christian men and women at our church and I am eternally grateful for their love and compassion. This Christmas wasn't going to end up all that well, but thanks to families in our community we will have a tree and presents this year!
Well, on to the wonderful world of studying!!!
Peace to you all!

Hi Keri Lynn!
My name is Mary and I like to read your mom's blog, so I thought I'd check out yours too. My oldest daughter is in finals right now too. She's so stressed out but she always does well.
And, just to confirm what you said about your church. It's wonderful to have a church family like that. Ours is the same way. It's like a little taste of Heaven here on this earth.
Blessings to you

Hi Keri Lynn~
As you grandfather, Jack Wing, used to say, "That you carry the worry of the world on your shoulders". I remember when he looked at you his face would melt like a candle, he was a loving grandpa, always reaching from within to do his best for you, his first granddaughter, even when he put the daiper backwards he did it with love and care.

Hey Mrs. Wright,
Thank you for your comment. I remember Granddaddy well. I loved him and his funny jokes. I remember the invisible baby in the rocking chair, the purple frogs, and just having him around. I miss him, but at least I'll see him again.
May I ask what does(I think)the Spanish phrase mean?
Keri Lynn
you say that you were going to take French, so those are French sentences specialy research for you.
Ah, so I've got to figure them out on my own do I?:-)
