Psalms 6:8
"Stay away from me you all who do evil for the LORD has hears my weaping."
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we live in the world we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have devine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowlege of GOD, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to CHRIST."
Phillippians 1:27-30
For to me, to live is CHRIST and to die is gain."

Jan. 17, 2009 - 2009
Hey all,
I'm so happy that it is finally 2009!! 2008 was a great year but one of the longest for me. :) Here are some pics from Bethlehem in Bartlesville :)
Me (Mary) and Joseph
Some of the Ladies. :)
The Donkey I rode in on. ;)
Otherwise life has been good. :) Can't wait to see what GOD has this year for my family and friends. I have started back up school after Christmas hard and strong, then I have so many Church activites and such. Hard to keep up with also a blog. :)
Life has been great, stressfull but great. GOD has been moving in my life, I don't know where, how or when. But I have relized that life is a mission. I know it's obvious but it's a big deal when you start to relize it in your heart. :)
My youth group got a new youth minister, his name is Kevin. So lately we have all been trying to get to know him. My old youth paster Lance is now the Education minister so it's great to still have him around! :)
The big news is that every three years now we do Bethlehem in Bartlesville where we make Bethlehem, or how we imagine it at least. I have been an angel every year. But this year I get the honor of being Mary mother of JESUS. :) I will be holding real babies and we will switch them out. (all joseph and I do is sit there as the people pass by.)
I've been thinking a lot about life in general with where my life is headed. Like overseas missions? Missions here? having a family? going to Liberty University? Just so much stuff is moving in my life.
Wow I am now 17! My birthday party last friday was fun it wasn't the same as the one last year but it was fun. I turned 17 on the 16th. I don't feel any different. ;) I dono if thats good or bad. lol.
School is going really good. I have a lot on my plate this year but I'm handling it all pretty well. Church is keeping me busy when I'm not with friends or doing school. Every Friday my friends come over to my house and have lunch with me. So that's a lot of fun.
In 1 month I will be heading off to the United Kingdom! Wow.. Man I'm not sure if I'm ready for this mission trip. I'm getting really really excited about it. But I am also really worried about it all. I would really like it if you all were praying for the trip and my team. :)
Last weekend I went camping with my friends. :) We had a mud fight and a ton of fun!
This is when we were getting cleaned up. hahaha (I'm on the right)
And this is us with the racoon. (I'm in the middle)
I watched Narnia Sunday with my youth group. Man it was such a GREAT movie!! That day I also had my VBS meeting.. it was interesting. Monday I had my last vollyball game. I actually did really good! We one the first game but lost the other 2. :(
Wednesday Church went really well. My intern this year is making a Girlz Group thing, we'll be mentoring the 6 and 7th grade girls! I'm really looking forward to it!!
Next Wednesday I will be meeting with the search commity to tell them some suggestions about what we want in a new youth minister. I am 1 of 6 helping out with that. I'm interested in seeing how GOD will use the next youth minister. :)
My mom anounced today that my Sophmore year is over! :) :)
My sister's book got published recentally. It is now Available at Amazon.com and some other retailers!! It's called. The Risen the Chosen and the Dark - Book 1 : The Dawn of it All. By Jessica Lynn Campos
My best friend's dog died last night. The dog got into a fight with a racoon, the racoon jumped in the water and the dog jumped in after it and they were both sucked under. :( My friend is very sad, they had Katie (the dog) for a very long time. :( Please have them in your prayers.
My youth minister's father is having some back problems, he didn't go to Church wednesday night b/c he went to go check on his father.
Wednesday night Church went well over all. Drama had a skit and I was the crazy 'people watcher' so that was fun to do. I also sang in the praise band, um we didn't have vollyball practice which kinda stuck b/c I was looking forward to it. My friend and I got to talk through some things we were stuggling with so that was good.
I'm sOOO looking forward to Prince Caspian coming up. :)
Hehehe, I have once again gotten lazy. lol. Anyway's I'll hopefully make a new post every week at LEAST.
This week has been so odd. It'll like I have been having up and down days. And I don't like it. I'll all of a sudden become agrivated. I don't know what it is.
Anyway's Sunday, at Sunday school we have been talking about Johnathon and David, I really like talking about them. They are just the model friendship. This Sunday we talked about how they made a covenent with eachother and because of that when Johnathon died David took care of his decendents. Even though it took him forever to locate them. Our activity before we talked about this was a relay race, you had a team of 3 people. In my group was Kelly, Austin and I. Kelly is thin and tallish. Austin is thin but has mucles and then there was me... the 2 smallest in the highschool age. lol. So we had to carry each person to the other side of the tape. First Austin and I carried Kelly, then Kelly and I carried Austin. The last one was me. So Kelly and Austin were carring me and Kelly wasn't really doing anything so Austin just picked me up like a baby and ran to the finish tape. We lost, but it was fun. :) Of course I had warn a dress that day. lol.
Sunday night my brother had his Chior thing, he did pretty good. It was a Living Inside Out theme. :)
Yesturday I had vollyball. I was so happy when Ryan showed up, otherwise it would have just been the girls and our coach again. We ended up loosing but aw well.
Today my dad and I went out and got me an id card. :D It went well, which I was happy about. Since I don't have my drivers licence it was nice to have an ID card at least. :D I also opened up a checking account Monday. So now I can cash my own checks. :D My Checks I ordered and Debit Card should be here in a few days. :D
I have the 30 Hour famine tonight and tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. It started this morning at 8.
Yesterday night I had volleyball. My team lost. :( For the first time. It was sad, but we had fun. Everytime but once I served it I got it over the net! I was so proud of myself. :D :D None of the guys on our team showed up which was kind of sad. I ran into our coach on accident while trying to get the ball so I'm still sore from that. When I got home I saw that one of our volleyball guys was mowing my lawn, (the one I talked to Wednesday about it.) So then I felt kind of bad for being mad that he wasn't at volleyball. He mowed the front yard, I helped him with picking up the grass on the sidewalk. We got to talk quite a bit which I enjoyed.
We also celebrated my brother and dad's birthday, which was fun.
My sister had an appointment with the Neurologist today and she has another one later today, which I hope all goes well. We are all worried about it.
My family went out yesterday and got a puppy. :) We named her Snoopy!! She's beautiful! She slept in my room last night, I got up with her 3 times so she could go to the bathroom.
Snoopy and I
My two year old brother is slightly scared of her. lol.
Wednesday I went to church, and then vollyball practice. Every time I served the ball went over!! I was so happy. :) I also talked to one of our college guys so now we have someone to help with the yard. :)
Today my family has been talking about getting a dog!! I'm so happy, I hope we end up getting one! Tomorrow is my dad's and oldest younger brother's birthday! So it'll be a fun day, we are celebrating it Monday. :D
My April Fool's day has been pretty boring. My family doesn't get into it so we didn't do anything. I did school and then my dad had VollyBall tonight. His team lost. :( Which was sad, but they had fun and that's the important thing.
I have I busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I'm hoping to post some pictures of my family and such soon. :)
My sister and her friend had a car wreck yesturday. I was so thankful to GOD that they were ok. Same with the man that caused it. Of course accedents happen though. My sister's friends car is totaled. :(
Today I worked in the nursery and that night I went to my last violin practice August. :( I had to miss vollyball today since I had violin. But there should be one next week.
I also changed my layout last night. :) On this blog and my InNarnia one. :) What do you think about it?
Today I got up and did school. I started this math program to see how it is. So far I like it, which is shocking because me and math just don't go together... lol.
My mom and I then went out shopping for outfit's that I will need for the mission trip. Since I was short on outfits. We had a lot of fun, we like shopping. hehehe :)
Yesturday, Chuch went very well. I sang with a Jr that I sing with a lot, which went pretty good. I enjoy helping leading in worship. After Church, I went with a few other's to practice vollyball. We practiced spiking and just hitting the ball over the net. It was fun, I was happy with how the day got better. Since in the middle of the day my best friend wasn't feeling better so I went over to her house to make sure she was ok. :( She was ok, after the stomac ache past.
Today was a normal day. :) My dad had his vollyball game today, his team lost.. :(
I just came back from band. It went well, I was the only one singing, which was kindof scary. But I have done it before so it was fine. :) It helps when you think about GOD when you sing.
Anyway's I made a Narnia/Movie blog. :) I'd love it if you all looked at it over at ( http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/InNarnia ) I'm still fixing it up a bit but over all it's ready. :)
Today I had my first Volly Ball game. :) My church has a team, the teams are by age. So I'm in the youth one. We won 2 out of 3 games. I had a lot of fun at first I was worried about it because I am NOT good at it. Well actually I'm not good at any sport. lol. But anyway's I had fun with my team. When I first got there it was just me and 2 of my other friends. But then someone else came and 3 of our helper adults.
My sister's book cover is almost done. :D We are excited!
Today I didn't have violin because my tutor was sick. :( Which it's actually weird because I couldn't have got to vollyball tonight if I had violin.Tomorrow I have band practice. :) (I sing)
My Aunt came to visit us late Saturday night and left early today. She was visiting her mom and dad and we were on the way back. :) 2 hours later my family and I went to OSU to drop my sister off. We ate and then left, and came back home. Well not home excactally I went to help my dad with his job. :) I was sad that we missed Church though.
Sorry I changed my layout again. :D I'll probibly change it often. Just because it's so much fun to.
I learned that I'm not working in the nursery tomorrow which will be kindof nice to have a monday off. :D
Today I am watching a movie marathon with my family. :) We are watching all three Lord of the Rings movies.
I changed my layout late last night. I hope you all like it. It's Arwen, I'm still adding some stuff. I was actually going to as NarniaGirl to make me a layout. Since I haven't made one in a while. But I got up the courage to figure it all out once again. :D
My Aunt is coming to visit late tonight and is leaving in the morning. While my family goes to take my sister back to school.
