Dreams do come true.  This magnificent man became mine and all the planning was over.  While getting ready for the big day it was hard to focus on what the real reason of all the kayos was for.  That being, the groom and bride being a picture of the church with Christ.  It was also about the marriage, not about the wedding.  Through out the whole process I tried to keep that in the fore front of my mind, so when my cake fell right before it was supposed to be brought out, the world was not over because the cake wasn't the important thing.  As long as P and I got married then everything was a success and it was all worth the wait and all the planning.  

So as you start on your wedding adventure:

    1. Enjoy the fiancé stage because for some of you it does not last long.

    2. Get a planner/organizer/memory book to write down all of your ideas, plans, pictures and memories!

    3. Get a budget with those who are helping you pay for the wedding.

    4. Start praying for the day you are to promise yourself to one person for the rest of your life and continue to pray for your soon-to-be-husband!

I have begun to challenge myself but this week I think all the challenges are getting me...I am finding myself stressed out more than I normally have been. I find myself overwhelmed and not quite sure why.  I am extraordinarlity thankful for my friends to help me get through these things in life called "challenges". Having them behind me means the world to me, even if sometimes they are part of the chalenge.  Things have happened that are hard for me to handle.  I gain and I lose, not be choice but by chance. Inevitably forced and not my will. Struggles may come but I know that the comforting of God and his ablilty to control my life and lead me where I need to be is what I have to lean on. I have to listen and see where he calls me to go.

Best Friends- Assignment 4

Assignment 4
Mr. Mendenhall:
  Well, for my friend qualities, I want my friends to be, most importantly, truthful and honest.  I feel like a friend is someone that you need to be able to trust with whatever you tell them.  It seems that if that trust is broken then alot of problems come up that wouldnt necessarily be there.  The other thing to that is you need to be the honest person.  I think as friends you want people to be honest with you, maybe not with everything because really not everything is your your business knowing but you want some sort of bond there, the honesty and trust is a big thing for me.

  Another thing is I want my friends to really make me feel loved, make me luagh and know what the best is for me.  Proverbs 17: 17 says "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." But sometimes you just have to mess around with each other, but make sure its not too far, you gotta be able to kid around with each other. Also I want them to be able to pick me up in my walk with God and always keep that a priority in our relationships. And I want to be able to just be "me" around them.

  Some things I need to be a better friend about are just really trying to be a better friend are always trying to bring/pick them up.  Sometimes I may put people down or say something that I shouldnt, but it may be a joke but it comes across wrong to them and hurts them.

  My friend outside of the school is a girl from camp and she is my friend because she is funny and brings me up with God and we have a fun time together.
