So it's been quite a while since anything has happened on here.
A lot has been happening since December, and God has been doing some pretty amazing things.
I had really wanted to go on a mission trip to Swaziland through my church, and applied, had an interview, and really expected to be able to go. I thought I was really qualified for the trip, and would be a really awesome asset to the team, and I was really wanting to go on an extremely challenging mission trip, and truly experience God. But for some reason, that I can't really explain other than it was God that must have not wanted me to go, I didn't get accepted. And I'm okay with that...I just don't know right now what my plans are for this summer...cause right now I don't have any.
Also since December God has answered a HUGE prayer and has blessed me with a job...with a bit of humor involved. I go to a private school, where I pay for my own tuition, with a bit of financial aid...but being only 16, that large financial burden isn't just pocket change...so I needed a job before January to be able to pay for my Senior year and graduate. I had applied to well over 30 places, and I never got an interview. I had never really wanted to work at fast food...and swore I would never apply there...especially McDonalds, but I caved as time was drawing closer. Well God definitely pulled through at the last minute, and gave me the job at McDonalds. It's not glorious by any means, but it's bringing in the money that is needed for school, and I have had many opportunities to witness to my co-workers.
Now, I'm really just pouring a lot of my time into school, trying to keep my grades up, and starting to focus a lot on college. I'm going on a college visit this Thursday and I get to stay with Tyler and his family this weekend, which I am really excited forC:
I'm really praying about opportunities for ministry this summer, and trusting that God has a plan no matter what. I know that something will turn up in time.
What are you guys up to?

Hey Aubrey!
That is so great God provided a job for you! I totally understand - I've been going through that myself. God has also provided for me. He's given me opportunities to use my love for writing through editing for people. It's been great. And how awesome that you're witnessing to people!
I bet God has something totally amazing for you this summer! Just keep trusting Him and keep your heart open to wherever He calls you! I know you will. :)
Good luck as you start preparing for college! What colleges are you looking at? I'm to the point of applying for scholarships and desperately hoping to win them. So far I've gotten two! They were small, but such a blessing. I'd really been worrying about finances, and then, two days in a row, I heard about receiving those scholarships. It was like God was saying "Stop worrying! I told you I had it under control."
Well, I am going to Dallas on a mission this summer (somewhere I never expected God would call me on a mission trip...considering I live about an hour away) and in the fall I'll be heading out to Virginia to Patrick Henry College!! Freaky!
Keep in touch!
Love ya!
