     "Was there ever a time in your life when something went differently then what you had planned? Was it for the better or was it for the worse?"

      This summer I worked at the school doing maintenance things and working with the janitors.  At first I didn't have an idea of what I wanted to save up for, but towards the end of the summer I came up with an idea.  I would save up for a Mac computer for school and also my movie making.  I usually would use my sister's laptop, but it was about time I got my own computer so I wouldn't bog her's down with all my videos.
      In the beginning of September I was ready to purchase the computer.  I had decided to get a desktop instead of a laptop.  My dad and I sat down to order it and we were all set when my mom brought up the idea that a wait another month to let the idea settle.  I was so mad at her for interfering and ruining my plans.  Of course dad then agreed with her and the purchasing of the computer was postponed.
      During that month I really did a lot of thinking about if I really wanted a desktop.  After thinking about it I decided that it would actually be better to get a laptop.  Because of portable reasons.
      So thanks to mom I have a MacBook Pro laptop instead of an iMac desktop.  You can definitely say that this situation turned out for the better.

Spiritual Emphasis

     This year was my second spiritual emphasis week and it was a great year.  I saw God work in many ways amongst the student body.

     On the second day of Spiritual Emphasis week God gave me an image which clarified and grew throughout the week.  The image was of a river, which represented God.  And I was wading into the river only about up to my knees.  God was telling me I need to jump in and get swept away by Him and fully serve Him.  I no longer should be lukewarm, but hot for God.

My Dream/Goal: Blog #1

          Ever since I was little I have had dreams of what I wanted to be when I grew up.  A few of the jobs I remember are park ranger, policeman, air force pilot, and my most recent is a veterinarian.  But now that I am older and getting closer to college, I have really started to contemplate what I want to do with my life.  Over the summer I worked a couple times 

 with my grandpa, who owns a carpentry business.  I have found myself to really enjoy the trade and my grandpa wants me eventually to take over the family business.  Over the summer I also made a couple movies with my brother and friend.  Filming and editing has always been what I love to do.  

           Now for my dream.  My dream is to go to college for business and videoing/editing.  I will then work with my grandpa and do filming on the side for churches and small companies.  And then maybe someday I will  become the owner of Four Square Construction.
