Okay, so I just felt like I should post a blog mainly for some updates.

Support
: God is amazing. I'm at $1,300 and He is/has blessed me. Thank you so much for your prayers. Raising funds for this trip is totally different than any other trip. God is teaching me a lot and I love it!

School: Okay So every teacher in the world likes to go the easy route on finals and just assign an essay. Maybe not every teacher, but graduation is so close!!!! I mean it's like right there, I want to jump out and tackle it. Crazy! I'm so excited.

Prom: Was amazingly fun. We went to Buca (or Boca?) de Beppo for dinner, then prom, then after prom then five of us girls went camping at a reservoir. But by the time we got into the tent it was like 4 in the morning and we crashed hardcore. Then I had to be at work at 10. I kept waking up in the night freaking out that I was going to be late to work, then I would look at my phone and realize it was only 8 or 6. I didn't home that day until 4:30 pm, so much fun!

Friends: I'm really having a hard time talking to some friends. I feel God pushing on my heart to talk to this one girl about Christ, but like it's rough. I really don't want to shove, she's not a fan of religion and I don't want to ward her off. But I can really tell that God is calling out for her. I've been praying that I'll know God's time, but part of my concern is that I'm nervous. I know in one of the Timothy's it says that God does not call us to have a spirit of timidity and I just have to remember that He is my wisdom and strength.  the cast of Anner Frank is below, from left to right: Blake (Peter Van Daan), Nick (Mr. Van Daan), Myself (Mrs. Van Daan) Ryan (Mr. Frank) behind him to the right is  Rainee (Miep), Kacey (Mrs. Kraler), Taylor (Mrs. Frank), in front in red is Kayla (Anne), Cali kneeling behind her (Margot) and in front on the left is Brandon (Mr. Dussel). Much love to the cast!!

  I want to send out a praise for my friend Brit. Her lifestyle has truly been speaking to me lately and I look up to her, I'm thankful that God put her and other of my amazing friends in my life.

Edges: The only edges I like is the one I'm living on... hahaha. So we discovered that I don't like eating edges. We were at Chilis on a newspaper convention and I ate like all but two pieces of my quesadilla, but not the edges. Then there was another thing that I didn't eat the edge of but I don't remember. The other day I went to Paradise (it's like Panera) and I had a sandiwch and a cookie. I ate the middle of the sandwich, but not the edge and same with the cookie. I don't like the edges of cake and when I eat a piece of banana bread at work, I don't eat the top edge (but that might be because I don't like the nuts) I'm the person that will cut out the middle piece of brownies or lasagna. So for all of my future roommates, I don't eat edges. It's weird and totally subconscience.

I just thought I would leave a random blog, I love you all so much and send out any prayer requests! Peace to the nation!

P.S.  It's snowed several times since I posted "winter land" The last time, it snowed at my school and I was snowed in with Brit at Tirs' house, but at my house (30 min away) they had a light drizzle or rain. Just to give you a perspective of Colorado.
