Hello all!

Last night I stayed up pretty much till probably 2 watching movies with my sister. It was fun! .

But before that we (Jesse, Cassie, Jenn, Bethany, Alex, Jarred, Demory, Reagen, Anna, Daniel, Jess, PJ and me) went to the East vs. West football game. Steven had I think two great catches which was pretty much really really cool! And we got really cold, and I was pretty sure that my toes froze off cause I couldn't feel them... at all. literally. I was getting kinda worried by the end. We all painted a green 'W' on our cheek (girls left, guys right) and we cheered for West hardcore. We forgot blankets, but we were saved by Jenn who brought a ton! And mama Hanshaw let us borrow one for most of the game. We had warm cocoa. cold nachos and cheese, and warm popcorn (once we got it to our seats they were like that ). And everytime something cool happened that I WANTED to see... Jesse stood up.. so all I could see was Jesse, not the football game that I wanted to see. Anna and I had to keep telling him to get down. lol. He was pretty excited about the game. Also, Jarred introduced me to two girls from his cross country team (Jenn and Kate) they thought we were twins, which is okay I suppose, since they were thinking we were sixteen not fifteen.

Anyhow, Jarred's off at crosscountry (for a race) I'm watching the kids and a nieghbors kid (who's six and a die heart cowboys fan and pretty much knows everything about football, it's crazy! And he knows all the names to the cowboys).

Anyhoo, life here's been fun! Looking forward to Christmas. Hanging out with a lot of friends. A shoutout to you Nicole, luv ya neighbor! Chillin out was fun.

God's been meeting me in a lot of new special ways. I kind of took a spiritual retreat this week which was a lot of fun and God really met me. 'Whispering gently in my ear' is kind of what it was like. It was very special. Kind of realizing how selfcentered I am. How focused I am on my wants and desires and not letting God be my only focus and my love! I want my life completely, in every area, focused on Him! Never me, I want to be a blessing to other people, not a pest, not arrogant, I need help! God is my life. To kind of sum it up.

My Perfect One
The love of my life
Spoke to me late last night
Whispered softly in my ear
Of things I longed to hear

His words directing my thoughts
His love capturing my heart
I no longer have fear
For I know He is here
He knows me! He loves me!
My heart is full of butterflies
As He sings to me His lullabies
He’s so sweet
And I’ll love Him for keeps

I came home full of sorrow
But He was there full of care
Once again He told me
He’d be with me for eternity!

His words directing my thoughts
His love capturing my heart
I no longer have fear
For I know He is here
He knows me! He loves me!
My heart is full of butterflies
As He sings to me His lullabies
He’s so sweet
And I’ll love Him for keeps

Love so divine
How is it that I
Came to be so in love
With my Perfect One?
