Hey everyone... just a short update on happenings at my house. School just started and as crazy as it may sound, I'm really excited about the 2012- 2013 upcoming school year. I got pretty bored at the end of July and I was ready for school again... one month before my mom. Weird... right? The truth is I'd had enough of summer break and my brothers seemed to agree. In summer, I usually read books, but I'd gotten through just about every book I get could get my hands on... not to mention writing my " Forever Love" book. July was an amazing month... I was rarely bored when I was writing. But.. August.. uggg... a different story. I found myself looking forward to the most normal things... I'd be like yippee.. when my mom said we were going grocery- shopping or to visit my Grandma, the most simplistic things.. I hated being cooped up at the house... with nothing to do... I got in very disagreeable, complaining moods.... reading was my only comfort.... everything else was dry and non - amusing. So.... this past first week of the school year has been ....... Spectacular! learning new things.. occupied from 9am- 4pm.... never bored... I enjoy free time as well of course... and spend most of it reading books... making finishing touches on my novel( I've finished it!)... or swinging on the swings. This weekend I won't be bored there.. my friend Brianna said after a few days school will tire me.. I figure she's right but for now I'm in seventh heaven... I'll enjoy it while it lasts. So do any of you have plans for the weekend? We are having some friends over for a sleepover.. Jenny and Brian Pruitt.. good friends of ours. Saturday my brother has a football game in the morning we are going too and Saturday night we are having a camp out in the back yard and watch Nancy Drew on my laptop. We are so excited because it rained the last time we tried to do it so we had to wait a whole week!  Tell me your plans for this weekend... or even the next month. Shatter me... ( writer talk). pics from school time coming soon! All for now. Goodbye, dear readers. 

Excerpt from new Titanic book... enjoy;)

a love story book I am writing based on the 1997 film

 She walked forward, her heart beating softly for the first time in her life.  So happy and glad she had come. The quiet lapping of the waves against the ship’s sides was all that could be heard in that moment.  She saw the smile on his face and she didn’t mind it any more, not this time.  Didn’t mind the way he looked at her, in fact, she liked it, loved it.  Loved him, so very, very much. Her hair blew with the breeze and she smiled too, at the words she had said just a minute ago, which brought a peaceful freedom in her soul. Turning, she saw the sunset, its rays of orange and pink reflecting again on the waves of the Atlantic, the Titanic lit up with light.  Then back to him. He held out his hand, his jacket moving with the wind, a welcoming expression on his face. There was no hesitation in her motions this time and she didn’t care about anything, her old life that nagged her to return to it, her mother and fiancee that would be upset if she did. It was time to say good- bye and accept his invitation. To forget and forsake, never to return. Longing for more of this, she took his hand and trusted, taking the leap of faith.  This time letting him lead her into a new world......

read the book to find out what happens... coming to print soon. 

Busyness pause;)

Okay..... life is busy right now.... getting ready to go back to school... planning for new lessons in ballet and piano... fun times with friends... unexpected  2 week trips to faraway cities... now this morning it's slowed a little bit. And I need to remember... need to open my Bible.. meditate on the words.. not just breeze through because I'm in a hurry to check email or get on to something more important.. spend some time praying for the lost... listen for God's voice in the quietness. 7am, why am I awake now? I don't know why.... sometimes I'm just excited about life.. it's so interesting and in the mornings I find a freshness... an eagerness to live, breathe, and explore this world. But I have to remind myself... don't be so busy, so caught up in today and now, that you forget to look... look from the comfort and entertainment of reading google plus on your screen... the enjoyment of lazy rainy mornings watching little house .... and look to him. He's here. Jesus is with me and he wants to talk... wants to commune and hear my thoughts and troubles... help, advise, and discipline me. Oh I know this... yes and I'm eager to learn. But I'm more eager to shut my Bible, turn the light on and climb down the ladder in a hurried" Well, I prayed for 1 minute and read my bible for 5 minutes so I"m okay." way. Today, I need to remember.. go back to Jesus's words... he wants devotion and love and if I'm losing this love, I should stop... think...  repent.. ask for it back pray diligently. If I would only ask.. oh.. what I could see... ask Jesus to open the eyes of my heart.. I'll see him there... for real.. standing where he always does in my bedroom.. on the rug by my closet.. in his white robe and sandals.. with an inviting smile... " Come, Drink, be filled." he says. He holds out his hand and I want to willingly accept.. today.. now.. this moment. Because life is for him and because of him and I don't want to run on empty.. I want each and every day to be with him and for him.
 This just  reminded me of a great song by bethany dillon that encourages me  so much.  enjoy;)
