Out of these two, Steven and the sheep, who do you think has fluffier hair? (I think Steve wins!)
Krissy and me!
This is me and my cousin Krissy. We were just randomly hanging out on Thursday and we just took this picture for fun.
These are just some random pictures that I found lying around or on friend's blogs and stuff. Most of these pictures were taken on the last day of school except for the last one, which was taken on Dec. 10 after a whole bunch of my friends and I had taken the ACT and were celebrating my birthday, yay! It's so weird to think that I go back to school for my senior year in a week and a half! Anyways, the first pic is at the bowling alley where Amanda and I were just messing around and the second one is a whole bunch of us at the Channel Inn celebrating the last day of school, don't worry, we didn't start a fire this time, hehehe. The next one is just a bunch of us, Cody, Radka, either Kristen or Amanda, and I just posing for a picture with the bear, and the next one is, from left to right, Kristen, me, and Amanda jsut being stupid, and the last one is Amanda, Kristen, and me.
Bonnie's House
This lovely picture was taken at Bonnie's house between Teen I and Teen II. We were just about to head off to Bonnie's church and that would explain why we are all dressed up, except for Steve...bad boy. Anyways, we got to go visit her because she was sick that week and was not able to come for Teen I because she was suffering from bacterial pneumonia. So, we went and went to some local and stores and we found marshmallow guns! I was so much fun to see who could shoot a marshmallow the farthest, out of Bonnie and Steven. I think Bonnie won, 
hehehe, I don't know, but it was close. This other pic is just of me and Steve. It's amazing to see how the Lord is working in both of our lives. My heartfelt desire in any relationship that I have with anyone, is to glorify God and magnify His most Holy Name. I especially hope this for Steven and I and who knows what will happen between us, whether we become more than just friends or just friends, I hope we will always glorify the Lord!
This summer, I had a great time at Camp Chetek. I was blessed with the oppurtunity to meet so many new people that helped me out spiritually and in ways nobody knows. I was able to counsel a few people which really encouraged me because I knew that God was working through me and able to see them change for the better. Speaking of counseling, I will tell you my assurance of salvation testimony. For half a year or better, I had been struggling with the fact that I thought I was able to lose my salvation and that I was supposedly going to Hell because that is what I was told in my Luthrean high school and if you hear a lie long enough, you will start to believe and I did. So on the first day of Teen Week 2, Brian Clay preached a message to the TEAM from Isaiah 6 and talked about true revival and how we are due for them sometime in our life and more than once and then during the evening service, Kevin Brownfield preached from somewhere in Luke and was talking about 3 points that every Christian or person should have: Responsibility, resolve, and respect. When the invitation rolled around and he asked those that were willing to take this challenge and have all three and raise the bar in their Christian life to stand up. I found myself unable to stand because I knew that I couldn't, not until I had settled my issue. After he did that, those that were left seated, he spoke to. "Either number one, your not saved, or number two, you are a Christian who is deeply struggling and can't stand" His words, similar to that, broke my heart into pieces, and I started bawling. After we were dismissed, I went back to Portage and started crying on Bonnie's shoulder because I was so broken. Two of my TEAM counselors, Danielle and Amber, came in and counseled me and showed me some verses that really helped me. I John Chapter 4
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
This one challenged me to seek God's Word in matters of theology and stuff like that and to find out for sure for myself what I believed and not what they believed. Out of evrything that happened this summer, I learned one important lesson, that God is good, all the time!!! It may have taken me eight weeks to realize this, but He is good all the time and I will save that testimony for a future date!
I have an update for ya all. This summer at camp, I made a lot of desicions, but the most important ones were "assurance" of my salvation and I gave Steven Munyon his second chance. Obviously the assurance of my slavation was the biggest one, but the other one was up there too. So Steven gets there the Sunday afternoon before training week II starts and we didn't say a word for the first few hours after that until I finally warmed up to him. Then on that Tuesday we were given permission to talk and we settled things that needed to be settled. A couple weeks rolls along and here we are, at Teen Week 3. As ya'll probally know, Pastor was up there and Steven knows that I want his approval because my daddy is not a Christian so Steve talks to him and we would loosely say, got his approval. We are just good friends for now, but Lord willing, in the future, we will be more than just good friends!
