Melody's thoughts

Well, I got my papers from Lancaster Bible College today. I am so proud of myself. I got a 100% on my test. BUT I did extra credit too, and somehow my GPA for the class is 4.0!!!!!! I am so happy. Yay, for extra credit. Although apparently I didn't do too bad on my semester project and the final exam. Maybe homeschooling wasn't a waste, apparently I do have a brain.

I graduate this Saturday! I have the sexiest dress. Isn't it the bomb?
It was an old prom dress no one wanted, so it was on clearance and I had
to get it. Graduation should be great, I am totally wearing jewelry and being a rebel.

Rachel, Virdeliz, and Kairsie came over on my birthday and we rocked out to Cascada. Here are some pics.












Last but not least my DUCKS!!!!

There are good days and there are bad days, today I just wanna run away......

It's my birthday in a couple hours. I really wanted to be with someone till midnight and then drive home, instead I just got home from my cousin's b-day party where there was really bad singing by drunk guys. Then I was told all this stuff how I need to go to college. In anycase, I am really enjoying talking to Katrina who will be going to Lithuania.

I DON'T WANNA GROW UP!

I love having free time to study the Bible more. I have been studying Psalms and have made Psalms 18:20-24 my verse right now.

"God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I got my act together he gave me a fresh start. Now I am alert to God's ways; I don't take God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works; I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I'm watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes."

I had been trying to worship God and give him my all but yet there were some areas in my life I still wanted to dwell in and knew God was calling me to change in.

On Sunday at youth group Kairsie spoke on Worship. It was really good and made me realize that I often times go into worship and feel uneasy. I think of all the sin I was doing or had done. I tried to ignore it and praise God for who he is because he is still worthy. But now I know that sometimes we feel ashamed because we are not right with God and we have to get right with God to experience that great worship feeling. I hope that made some sense...

I also really enjoy my prayer group and will be sad to leave it for a couple months. They are such cool peeps in my group. I see so much growth and am excited to be part in what God is doing in their lives.

My life feels on hold right now. I am waiting for my STAT info in the mail, waiting for my stuff from college so I know what my final grade was. I am waiting till Rachel comes.

So I am very sad to hear that Rachel will be in PA but not in my area till I am leaving.

I had to take a personality test for EMM, and I felt so bad. I have a crazy personality. It was really hard for me to answer those questions thought because I am so in between. I don't think I am shy but yet I am not outgoing....or am I?

I have this problem of opening explorer while I am doing school and reading blogs and checking to see if anyone commented on mine. Finals tomorrow morning! I am sooo scared.
Things for Lithuania are coming together a little, but should I say I am worried about money and don't feel like doing another mailing and asking for more money. I am so excited about Lithuania though!
Okay I am making myself a list so whenever I am procastinating and reading blogs and come across mine I will see this list and see if I have everything done.

Study hardcore for finals
Make display for Gabby and I
Do an update mailing about Lithuania
Write a fifteen min speech for Sunday
Learn some phases of Lithuanian
Go to Hershey's hotel and take a hot chocolate bath after being covered in chocolate with their spa treatment.

Lithuania!


Well, God made it clear to my care team and apparently clear to EMM. Yay, I am so excited, I can not wait to serve in Lithuania.

I will give more details later, or you could come to my diner tomorrow night or the Selah Vie concert and learn more.


my lips hurt.

My car exploded!

Who would have thought a radiator could explode into pieces with much black smoke? I mean it just is a radiator....to say non the less my hood is all black underneath, and there is some damage to the engine in my poor car. I was just driving and it went. I thought radiators leaked when they died, not my car. But I felt buff and took the radiator pieces out with my dad, it sorta shredded or something.

I get a shot tomorrow for this summer! Woot! (woot for the summer missions trip not shot.)

College is over next week! Loved college, but am happy it is done.

Skating party was tonight. Nice turn out. I loved seeing some people, although I could have done with out working my butt off. So, who all saw me pick up the mouse? Ugh that was so gross. I was alright holding the mouse till it started to squirm in my hand.

Ten page paper due in the morning. Totally am not done. Brook promised to help me in the morning. But I am going to get on that!

Till next time my dears.....
