Today at 11:30am as everyone was coming up onto the platform, I began my prayerful begging with God to guide our new leaders of the United States as they come into office. We are at a critical time in our countries history, and we as a country need God more than ever to guide us.
I nearly started to cry when Itzhaf Perlman, along with Yo-Yo Ma, started to play. For those of you who do not know, Perlman has not preformed publicly in a few years. That fact that he was playing there today was just amazing.
Well, I am off to class. But as I leave you here, I ask again that you pray for our country's leaders as they take their new positions in office.
Talk to you soon!
Hello all! Sorry its taken me so long to put up my family's Holiday photo, but we didn't take it until a week ago, lol. Just wanted you all to get a little idea of what our house and family looked like over the holiday season.
Talk you soon!
Hello all! I hope that each of you are doing wonderful. Well another week down, who knows how many more to go, lol. The beginning to the countdown until graduation has started. Now that the first week of classes for this semester is over, I am more OK with the choice of classes. There are a couple of classes that I am not so excited about, but I will get through them. I have made up my mind about that. I don't care what else happens this semester as long as I get through these classes with a high enough GPA for grad-school.
I am still job searching, and researching different companies and organizations. And while I am finding more jobs available than when I was looking a couple of weeks ago, it still is a little disconcerting.
Well the prayer request that I asked yall to pray for last fall, my aunt with lung cancer, still is needing your prayers. She has held on longer than the three months that the doctors gave her, but my cousin said that she is getting more confused. I just pray that she does not have to suffer.
Well I have to get back to my studies. I just wanted to catch you up.
Talk to you soon!
Hey all! I was most definitely moved today in convocation. The guest speaker today was the sister of Rachel Joy Scott, Dana Scott. Rachel was the first student shot and killed at Columbine High school in Colorado back on April 20, 1999. Most of us can remember where we were when we heard about it. Or remember being glued to the television watching the news.
As Dana told us about her loving, God fearing, out going, and kind hearted sister, I found myself drifting back to that moment. To this day, even after hearing the story from the news and from Dana, I still have a hard time believing it happened, and really do not understand. But then again, I do not think any of us can really understand. Sitting there in the gymnasium, watching the screen with the video clips of Rachel and of the news reels, I found that I could not see past the water forming in my eyes. I kept wondering what was going on in her mind while all of this was going on. I was wondering how she felt right there at the end, and I found my self asking God why her. I know for me I would be thinking of my family and just wishing I could say goodbye to them.
The story of this young 17-year-old girl, is a powerful and inspiring one, that has had her sister and other family members telling about her faith all over the United States and a couple other countries. I encourage the rest of you to go to the website that her family has set up in her memory to learn her story. www.racheljoyscott.com

Hey all! Well Im back in school. Monday I started my last first day of undergrad, it was a little sureal. This semester is going to be by far my most busiest semester ever. I am taking 18 hours of credit, and my Tuesday schedule is my roughest. I have class from 2-8:30/9:00pm straight. Crazy I know, and hopefully I will still be alive at the end of this school year, lol.
Other than the hecticness of getting into the swing of things, everything is pretty good. My new portfolio site is up, but for some odd reason my photo galleries are not working. I am having one of my people, several of my people actually, look into it. As soon as it is all working fine I will post a screen shot of it.
I am still working on my senior project, which is coming along quite nicely. I am lucky to have a mentor like Garrett to play ideas for my shoots or edit plans off of.
Right now I have been job searching and researching the companies that are listed and its a little depressing. So many of the businesses that are out there are on hiring freezes, and others are wanting people now, not in May when I graduate.
But all will work out, I have faith it will.
Talk to you soon!
Hey all! Hope you have been having the best of the first three days of the new year.
As most of my friends will attest to, I am a huge Nicholas Sparks fan. And a couple of months ago, I posted on here that I had just received the pre-ordered newest book of his, "The Lucky One." With all the hustle and bustle of school and trying to keep my grades up, I had not had the chance to read it yet, until this break. I have just put it down, after finishing, and as with finishing all his books, had a lump in my throat. This is a very touching and well written book. I am constantly amazed at his writing talents. I do highly recommend this book to any reader.
I am a little saddened that my last Christmas break as a college student is coming to a close. Monday, I start back on my last semester in my undergraduate degree. It is a little scary and exciting all at once. I am taking 18 hrs of credit this semester, plus finishing my sr. project. But, God is good, and He will see me through all of this. May is so close and so far away, but will be here sooner than I know it.
I have to put all my books aside until after I finish my classes this semester. So I will have to tell you what I think of "P.S. I Love You" later on this year.
Talk to you soon!
