Ok folks. I’m back! I know it’s been
a long time since I’ve posted. There has been so much going on since I last
posted. Family stuff, school ended, I did VBS at my church, and I made it to Colorado
safely. To start off the blog post I would love to dedicate this one to my
AMAZING grandfather. He’s the only one I have left, sadly. He is one of the
most amazing people I know. I honestly can’t imagine a world without him. He is
so caring, loving, and just such an amazing example of a Christ follower. Monday-
the first day of my spring break, I was woken up by my mom and told to get
ready… I later found out that my grandpa had a massive stroke -the doctor’s
words- and had paralysis on the right side; he could no longer talk and was
pretty out of it… now four months, and five days later he is talking, eating
breakfast lunch, and dinner seven days a week. Going from not being able to do anything
and having a feeding tube –because your throat uses both sides to swallow- to
eating every meal is so amazing. My grandpa and I always had this thing when we
talked on the phone… whenever one of us picked up we would race to see who
could say “you’re looking good,” I don’t really remember how it started but we’ve
been saying that for as long as I can remember. Yesterday I was talking to him
over the phone –my aunt was there with a phone- and as I was saying goodbye I heard
him say something but couldn’t quite make out what it was, and my aunt told me
that he said you’re looking good. Can I just say wow? So amazing. So on to
happier things. SCHOOL IT OUT FOR
SUMMER! Can you tell I’m excited? I only
have one year to go now! I just found out my final GPA… drum roll please… 3.14!!!
I worked too hard… the only class that brought it down was chemistry… all my
other grades were amazing. I am so happy you guys!
This summer is starting out with so
much fun! As I do every year, I helped out with my church’s summer spectacular.
That was such a blessing you guys! One place that god has really laid my heart
is in worship, and he has given me great opportunities. I do worship in the
children’s ministry at my church and I get to be a part of it during VBS. Sadly
that ended L a day later I got on a plane to Colorado. It is SO gorgeous
here! I don’t know how people look at this natural beauty and still say there
is no God. It just baffles me. I have done a lot of nothing here. My mom and I have
gone a walk a couple of days and let me tell you… going from 700 feet above sea
level to 7000 feet, is a lot less oxygen. That extra zero makes a huge
difference! You actually burn calories breathing here. It’s crazy!
Well I think that’s all I have to say for now… I promise to post
more often! Until next time!
