Am I dreaming? A touch of reality: physics remain. But really, I'm nearly in 12th grade. Ouch.
I feel like a blind man reaching the end of a railing. I'm going to have to make so many decisions in the next year. I don't know where I'm going, what God has in store for me.
I was talking to an acqaintance about this. He leaned back in his chair, his face pinched in concentration, and was silent a moment. Mr. Harvey said, "The image I have in my mind is of the priests carrying the ark over the Red Sea. It wasn't until after they stepped into the water that the sea parted."
He paused.
"Just step."
And so, I'm blind. But God isn't. I am trusting in him to make his direction sure. "'For I know the plans that I have for you,' says the Lord, 'Plans to help you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"
Thank you, Jesus.
Love,
Anna
PS I think I got the verse right. It's in Jeremiah. Check it out if you want to test my memory.:-)
Thank you so much for coming out & supporting the Gettysburg Little League. Sorry we couldn't provide you with a win. Well, there was a win. Just not by the team that I *hope* you were cheering for :) lol
I wish I could tell you that this would be a fascinating post, a taste of the exciting life of Anna. However, it is late, I need to go to bed. (Thus, I imply that my life is so exciting, I need sleep to cope with it.)
In truth, I’m finishing my novel project for English Class. Here is the link for it: http://www.freewebs.com/coketowncourier/
Check it out if you 1) like books, 2) love Charles Dickens, or 3)... Well, 3) is up for grabs. I will give an invisible elephant, complete with pink harness and shiny bells--also invisible--for the most creative answer.
And by the way, if you can see my elephant, I shall give you a hug. It’s nice not to be the only crazy person this side of the Mississippi.
My life recently has been wonderful. It has its challenges and annoyances (Physics!). School continues apace. But, hey, that's life. At least, that's life until you are about 18!
Happy Things
My brother turning 14. I love you, Christopher!
Sunshine and warm weather. Spring, thou comest!
Starting to learn counterpoint. It's difficult, but fascinating:-)
Learning how to punch someone in a theatrical manner. Yes, I would love to demonstrate. You must show proof of insurance, a driver's liscence, and a twenty dollar bill. J/k! The point is to not injure anyone.
Working on an Independent Novel Project, Hard Times, by Charles Dickens, for English Class. It is a WONDERFUL book. Difficult to analyze, there are so many layers in Dickens' writing.
Kramer and William were telling me about counterpoint. Sounds pretty cool! See ya at basketball today, and the officer's meeting after bball.(no i didnt forget :P)
If you read this,
If your eyes are passing over this right now,
Even if we don't speak too often,
Please post a comment with a memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want,
Good or Bad.
When finished, post this little paragraph on your blog
And be surprised by what people remember about you.
Dear friends,
I wish that I had something wonderful and important to tell you about.
But, I don't. Life goes on as normal.
Christmas was wonderful. I love my family so much!!
I continue to be amazed at God's love in sending his Son, and the many blessings he showers on me. I predict that I'll be saying that until the day I die.
College kids, it is wonderful to have you back for a while!:-)
What I remember about you is...you laughing really hard about that one dream I had and your mother commenting later that she could hear us laughing outside.
I remember right before my wedding you stopped by with egg salad for us- I hadn't eaten much in awhile and I was having a difficult day ... and I was so happy I started sobbing when you told us you had brought food for us. It was so sweet of your family!
I remember when you road your bicycle over to see Kramer on a very cold Fall day. You came into our home soaking wet and chilled to the bone. The sad part was that Kramer had left earlier to walk into town to meet up with you! Crazy kids...
