realizations

i just realized that i have not gotten on pleonast in about 2-3 yrs. This is so funny to come back and see what i was like then. I'm so weird.

    You're not weird at all, you're right. It is strange to come back on after not having been on in a while.
    And scary, to see how fast time passes!

    COURTNEY!!! Hey.

    :o) We are doing wonderful, thank you. I sure do miss seeing all you guys-I got to catch up with Marissa and Heather a little bit at Craig's wedding, but I wish I could have seen you too!! How're things going? What's new?

camp

camp was amazing..it was different..
i think i've changed or grown-up or something, cause it was weird..i'm actually one of the older kids now..but, i had a blast..met some GREAT new people, new friends, new best friends, grown closer with old ones..great times..FRIENDS show was really amazing...i was so proud of them..douglas and andrew were excellent..i was excited for them. Life is good, i just want my summer to be productive for God..not me. I hope i can use the summer the way we all use camp..to strengthen ourselves, have fun, and make memories.
TOODLES!
hope everyone had fun too!

    Glad you had a good time at camp! You should post some pics! I remember that being weird when I joined the "Big Kids" crowd at camp. :) I'm sure they're all looking to you as an example! Continue to shine! Hope you're having a good summer...I want to hear you sing in your band! :)

Lectures

Lectures was amazing this year:

I don't whether it was just because i got to ride with the Finks there and back, or whether I got stay in the dorms for the first time, or I heard some of the best sermons I've ever heard, or that I have gotten to know God better. Lectures was just amazing, and I feel like i have grown in so many ways! May God be praised for EVERYTHING..and let's keep our focus, b/c there's no more important thing in our lives than God, and letting His Word work through us!

    Hey Courtney! Do you know anything about the new church that started in Alpharetta? North Gwinnett is having a series of meetings and we wanted to get the word out to all the area churches. I don't have any contact information for the new church. Can you help a sista out?
    by simon_says at 03/19/08 1:21PM
  • simon_says
    We were going to send a meeting announcement to Roswell, so I guess we're covered, then!

    I'm good. Just really, really busy. I was hoping to have made it to your meeting last week, but I was just too swamped at work to get out of here on time. I think I had 65 hours last week.

    Your aunt and uncle are coming to our meeting in at the end of March...you should hitch a ride with them so I can see you again!!!!

    How's it going for you?

    You guys ROCKED in the talent show!
    by mom_of_toto at 06/11/08 7:22AM

you know..

there's really no reason to complain about anything...
We have God, we have the family of God, and we have salvation and redemption.

You know when the bible says "and man was made in His image"
(paraphrased)
I wonder if that means that God put a little part of Him in us..not that we're God-like, or anything like that, but just something of who He is in each of us..interesting to think about.

So I pretty much love life right now, but I can't wait for death..and if you're a Christian, you know what I mean! :)

I GOT MY LICENSE!!! WOOHOO!
  • belle
