Time

13 hours and 57 minutes til I am on my way to NYC! :)
Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend!! :)

Thoughts

We got the privilege of special meeting again today. They were very rich meetings. A few thoughts include:

• We can trust Him when all else fails.
• We don't want to plant our own will/thoughts in our hearts.

We heard a great deal about control, some of those thoughts are as followed:

• What is it that controls us?
• We all have a past, and could be controlled by our past.
• When we feel like our prayer wasn't answered, were we giving Him absolute control, or did we have a thought and try to control?
• We want time to do His will and our will, but that doesn't work.
• There is so much we need to let go of and let God have control.
• We control because we are afraid of something.
• For every fear, there is a promise.
• God isn't going to abandon us, that's a promise.

Those were just a few of the thoughts. I'm so glad that I got the chance to go!

This is the week I leave for NYC! I am getting excited, but yet I am a little nervous. I have everything that I need, that I know of. But I still need to pack. We need to be at the high school at 4:00 AM, then we will depart for the airport, and all fly out at different times. We have so much planned, that we won't get much sleep! But it will be fun! My cousin is letting me take her camera, which I'm glad, because thsi will definitely be a trip that I was to remember! It may be a once in a life time chance for me, so I'm glad to get to go! I hope to upload pictures when I get back! :)

Slight problem, I'm starting to get a sore throat! I hope that I don't get sick etc before I go! Anyway, I hope all are doing well!! Have a great week, and I'll "see" you when I get back probably! :)

Changes

Our plans changed big time. We didn't get to go to to speicals on Sunday. Which I was bummed out about. But as most of you know, my brother and wife had their baby, which she ended up going to NICU. When we got the call that my sister was going into labor, my mom and I hit the road and got to her other grandparents about midnight our time. We spent the afternoon and evening at the hospital, then returned to the place we were staying at late. Sunday, we had meeting, the went to the hospital, then returned to sleep. We woke up early this morning, went to the hospital with the other two boys, then brought them back, and drove home. Maggie is doing fine, last I heard. She is a cute lil' girl! Her brothers were quite interested in her. :) Anyway, that's all the news here. Specials here on Wednesday, which means company coming etc. Hope all are doing well!

More Randomness

Well, the time has come, we finally will be getting the go to a special :) Maybe I'll see some of you there! Have I mentioned how excited I am?
My oldest niece had her birthday Saturday. She had been planning her surprise birthday party for 6 weeks prior. She had everything planned out! Where has the time gone? She turned 5, which means I have been an aunt for 5 years! Where has the time gone?
Speaking of time, can anyone believe it is April already? This next month will fly by, too. I don't know if we will have a normal 5 day week of school! But I am excited for summer. I wonder where I will go. I do know though, that I'll be flying to Oregon for my brother's graduation!
Only 3 weeks til I fly to NYC. We had our meeting the other night, for parents/students/chaperones/etc. I am very excited, but I am also a little nervous. Not with the flying, but with the fears of the City. I'm sure it will be fine, but you never know!
I will get to enjoy a 4 day weekend now! What do your plans include? :) Hope all are well!
