type='text'>wow its been a while. heres an update</title><content type='html'>ok so alot has happened since my last post. i went to colorado to visit colorado christian university and i looooved it while i was there and was ready to fill out all the forms and was set on going there. god had different plans i guess cuz when i got home everyday i felt god telling me more and more to look at biola again. i had totally blocked biola off and didnt want to go there at all. i was mad because i thought i finally knew where i was going to school and then i got all confused  again. so as of right now its like CCU 30 % and Biola 70% every day biola increases so we will see what happens. after spring break i am gonna loook at biola again. speaking of spring break i am going to hungary to serve the gypsies and orphans and just the hungarian people. i am so excited this is going to be such an amazing experience. please be praying for everyone going. so alot has been going on angela came home this weekend so that she could come to this fancy banquet thing that i had to give a speech at and it was really nice and i was super nervous. man i love having her home i didnt realize how much i missed her except for when she started smaking her food and making noise when i wanted to sleep i didnt miss that. haha but anyways ill try to be better about updating.&lt;div

much fun. i thought i was going to be a boy counselor but then i ended up being a girl counselor. i was kinda bummed but it ended up being sooo awesome. they loved me and though i was was like the best thing ever which was really funny. the camp was in loma mar kinda by santa cruz. and i was soo pretty. we were in a redwood forest and went to to beach for a day. i kissed a banana slug and sung camp songs for 4 days straight. i felt like a kid again and loved it. i had 2 girls in my cabin who fought the whole time and it was sooo annyoing. i had to be soo patient with them. man that place was amazing. i decided i love 5th graders and i always thought i wanted to teach little kids but i think i might wannt teach 5th grade. it was really cool how they looked up to me so much. one night when we were there we had a Barnyard boogie in the dinning hall and we did the funnest dances ever. i was also super cool because i didnt know any of the other counselors besides like 4 others girls and now all the counselors are like BFF and we went out to dinner when we go back. Man i want to go back to that camp again soo bad.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>its been a weird weekend</title><content type='html'>so ill start on on friday. i went to panera with some girls since it just opened and it was delicious. and then i went back to my house and me and kaylee and chris and josh were hanging out. josh and chris decided to steal our car keys while we were upstairs and park our cars in front of seven eleven. kind of annoying.so me and kaylee took my dads car and went looking for the cars. we found them and then went back to the house. josh gave us back our keys and then we went to go get the car. stupidly me and kaylee left the keys in the house and we got locked out. sooo dumb. so now were locked out and its 11:30 at night and freezing. so i call cody jorgenson and his friend brian came over and picked the lock and we got in the house. soooo strange. so that was friday.&lt;br /&gt;     ok so saturday there was supposed to me a amador foothill upperclassmen dance. everyone got all dressed up(it was semi-formal) and when we were taking pictures somone calls us and says the dance is cancelled because someone was gonna commit suicide at the dance. so we called up the administration because all my friends are in leadership and sure enough the dance was cancelled. so we decided we would still go to dinner. we got to chilis and they gave way our table of 25 people because we were 5 minutes late. so we went to in n out. and then from there a friend of mine threw a huge party in Ruby and like 100 people showed up and we didnt know lots of them and it was crazy. so that was saturday.&lt;br /&gt;      so today i got to bank to get money to put done my deposit for hungary and i got my atm card and locked me keys and cell phone inside the car. wow i wanted to yell i was soo angry. also no one was at the bank either and it was raining. perfect. so i waited for people to come so i could ask if could borrow there phones to call my dad but with my terrific luck no one brought there phones. finally somone felt bad for me and went back to there house and got there phone and came back. such a nice person. and luckily my dad answered his phone and waited for AAA to come. that was my weekend.got locked out twice, got really wet in the rain. and went to my first real highschool party. which was fun and i didnt drink.haha hopefully i will stop forgetting me keys places.&lt;div

type='text'>childlike faith</title><content type='html'>so  like 2 weeks ago i was babysitting and this thing happened and its really been on my mind alot lately so i thought i would share. so this is what happened it was short and simply but really had a lasting affect. ok so i was babysitting and the tv wasnt working so i was trying to get it to work for like 30 minutes and i was so frustrated that it wasnt working. and the little boy was like i know what to do. and i was like what!? nothing is working and he was like we need to pray to jesus. and i said i dont know if jesus fixes tv's. haha im all laughing thinking this is pointless. so we pray and i try to turn on the tv and it works!!! and i was like wow no way. and this got me thinking who am i to underestimate the power of god almitey master of the universe and it just got me thinking that i need to have a childlike faith and believe that jesus can do anything if we believe. so this has been on my heart lately to just trust and pray to god about everything. and lately i have just been witnessing so many answered prayers its amazing : )&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
