Well so far i'm in my second week of school! I started chemistry this year and am doing a high school history/literature class. It is fun so far...hard at times...but fun! I actually enjoy school most of them, which even surprises me sometimes but it's true.
My sister had her first day of college today along with my good friend, Micah, who also had his first day! I'm so excited for them!! My biggest prayer for them is that while they are at college their faith will stay firm and solid and that they will be able to shine a light for Christ. That people will be able to notice a difference in them. I have faith that they both have a strong faith in God so i'm praying that they will be able to lean on God through any trials or tribulations that coem their way! I"m proud of you two! :D
Hope everyone else who is starting school is enjoying it and having fun!!!!
God Bless,
Miranda

Entry 51: "A Life Full of Smiles"
Sometimes life is sad and there are tears and sad faces but thank goodness for the God above that always sweeps down and catches our tears when they fall and brightens our faces when they are down cast. I've had my fair share of moments in life where i have been like that. Where it seems like life is set on making you miserable forever...adn it will never get ANY BETTER! I'm only just 15 so i'm sure i will have many more such moments in the years to come!!
But when i did have those such moments i was so greatly encouraged by my Savior and God!! He touched my heart in a way no one else could! He was able to show me that i need nothign else in this world then Him and i need to rely on nothign else but that. Friends and family will be there for me temporarily but in time they will fade away or become strangers to me, perhaps. But God will always be there. Of course i will cherish and love my friends for as long as they are with me but i can't rely on them to be my rock! Because they will not be able to stand up for me every single time i'm in trouble. but God will!!!
With a smile on my face and laughter tugging at my lips I praise God with my whole heart for being that amazing and wonderful rock i can lean on! I love Him so much and always will...and He will always love me!!!
Hope you are able to smile a little brighter and laugh a little louder knowing that God is on your side and always will be!!

Entry 50: Come, everyone who thirsts....
"Come, everyone who thrists,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for
that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does
not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what
is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
Incline your ear, and come to me;
hear, that your soul may life;
and i will make with you an
everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David."
-Isaiah 55: 1-3
Don't waste your life trying to store up your treasures on earth thinking they will bring your true joy, because i promise you, you'll be very dissapointed! Store up your tresures in heaven and find true and lasting joy in God! He is worth dropping everythign you have to gain Him.

Entry 47: "Praying For A Friend"
Praying for my friend, Micah, who is having his last big golf tournament this week. Just praying and hoping he praises and glorifies God in everything he does and that his fellow golfers can look at him and see Christ shining through!
He is a great golfer and a great christian young man so i know he will do big things in his life with Christ by his side!! GOOD LUCK, MICAH!! :)
"But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts regard Christ the Lord as hold, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who askes you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with a gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil."
