Fun Times, Big News

Hey everyone. Right now I'm sitting in class not really paying much attention.

Today, at work I got am email from Phill, it was a nice surprise. He couldn't believe that I didn't remind him of my 21st birthday, LOL. How funny is that. I am so happy that we've remained friends since it's been 8 years since we last saw each other. How crazy is that. For real though, I am really thankful that we met 8 years ago at the LOVELY CAMP GRANDVIEW!!! WOW, those were they days.

Today also while I was at work, I got am email asking me if I was interested in working at the Summer Music Day Camp in Dalton, and I'm seriously praying about it because I think that it would be great....because it'd get me outta camp and plus I'm trying to talk Lindsay and Candace into doing it with me because it would be so awesome, I mean we'd be living kinda sorta on our own and we'd be real close to camp/Atlanta/Tennessee. Whoage, that's be totally rockin.

I can tell that my professor can tell that I'm not paying attention so I have to stop typing so fast, HAHAHA.

Last night was really good, I went out to eat with my sister and her boyfriend, I went shopping at Old Navy but I didn't find anything that I wanted to buy, then I went back to my sister's house and washed clothes, checked my email, talked to Lex -- wow it'd been a long time it was fun and interesting, then I went to bed early and man did i need it. FUN TIMES.....

In about 30 minutes, I have to go to an Ambassador Tele-Thon for UWG and that will last unitl about 8:30 then I'm going to the house to cook dinner with the girls, which will be so much fun. I'm really looking forward to it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

OH MY GOSH MY 21ST BIRTHDAY WAS YESTERDAY AND MY MOM GAVE ME A SURPRISE PARTY IT WAS SO GREAT.........

I got flowers at work from my boss, b/c he gives everyone them on their birthday but it was a great surprise so i was surprised twice.

I was so surprised......I had been at DYB all day -- and then went home and my family was nowhere to be found -- i was livid.

My whole church family and my entire family was there and my best friends Gabriela, Lindsay, Candace, and Elisa were all there. It was totally AWESOME>


Well, I'd love to keep writing but i've got a french test in the morning -- yuck... well have a great night and God Bless.

God is my refuge and my strength HE will guide me all of my days.

A Chosen Generation

A Chosen Generation was the theme @ Young Adult Retreat this past weekend. This was my first year going and I had such a blast.

God was so present and he spoke through his servants Jason and Joy. Their messages were just what I needed to hear. I am so thankful that I serve a RISEN LORD!!!! When we are the weakest, HE is the strongest and our stronghold.

I have to say my favorite part of the weekend was getting to fellowship with Lindsay, Elisa, and Candace. When we were younger we all went to Conservatory together and along with some other girls formed a group called "The Angels" This weekend was the first time that the 4 of us had been together and actually spent quality time together. It was so great. I love you girls.

God has given me a burden to carry -- it's not a bad burden, but nevertheless, it's a burden. And I am going to be faithful to pray for this burden everday for as long as I live. God is amazing and he will prevail in all cases.

My calling was confirmed and I know that eventually I will become an Officer in The Salvation Army. I know that God will be with me and will give me the desires of my heart.

May God Bless everyone who reads this and if you need anything please email me manamamita@aol.com

Forgot to say

Sunday was my Innie's birthday, well I guess I should say it would have been her birthday, she passed away in May of 2003. My mom and me went to see my Poppie, and then we visited Innie's grave. I really miss her. I know that she is with me and is watching down on me. When I go to her house it always reminds me of her because nothing is changed. For Christmas, Poppie gave me a vase, which was something I had brought Innie back from Haiti, so that was my favorite gift. It helped remind me of all the time that I had with her and the times that God blessed me with having her in my life. It seems like yesterday when I was leaving her house to go work at camp because it was weekend camps, they had given her only a few hours/days to live and I didn't want to just wait around and be worried -- so I decided to go ahead and work at camp for the weekend because I know that's what she would have wanted me to do....I told her Goodbye and that I loved her -- she said Jamie I love you, I think it's time. Innie knew that within a matter for hours she was going to see the Lord. She is the greatest person to have ever have such a great influence in my life.

While we were at the cementary we visited my Aunt Brenda's grave. I miss Brenda as well, she was such a great Aunt...I know she is watching me with Innie.

Well, I hate to go, but Good Night. Please make sure that you tell people every chance you get what they mean to you, how much you think of them, or that you love them, because you never know when you will say it for the last time. Blessings.

My new year

So I've started this new year off really busy.... like I'm at school 3 days a week and at my sister's 2 days a week, and on the weekend I'm trying to keep up my social life, family time, and still be involved in Church. It's all working out so far....

My new job is going great....I love it and would really love to continue working in it for years to come.. Ya know it's strange how things just come about when you're not looking for them... I am very thankful for Mrs Hobgood and Annie for telling me about the job...

URBANA -- was a great conference to go to -- www.urbana.org -- to see what all we did. It was a great week to get back in touch with ME and the HAPPY ME -- it was also a wonderful week to sit back and just let God be in me and talk to me... I'm not in such a hurry anymore and am totally just waiting to see what HE has in store for me next.

I'm totally excited about this weekend -- I'm going snow tubing, it was either tubing for skiing and I figure with my luck if I skied I'd end up breaking something so at least with tubing I'll already be on the ground, right? LOL

Also Danielle's 21st birthday is this weekend but we're going to go out after my birthday yippee only one more week of being 20. Danielle is such a blessing in my life, I'm thankful that we get to share everything almost, so it seems...sisters, nephews, week apart in birth so it's great having someone there all the time.

Today I had dinner with Gabriela that was great getting to see her and talk with her. I really miss us hanging out -- we're going to do better at getting together this year.

Well, I have to get going, I'm always on the go....Classes are going good so far and I've gotta pull all A's or A's and B's this semester to make up for last semseter.. As always, if you need me let me know...

May the Lord Bless you and keep you and make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you. Amen...
