Writing My First Book........yha its going to be great....

So about 6 months ago I started writing my first book..."When the Ground at Your Feet Falls".....It a Book about my life and the crazy world around me and how God is using me in this crazy world. I knew i wanted to write it on paper first...im just now done with the first chapter ....yha I know what the heck it took me that long to write the first chapter.....no it took me one day but I have trouble staying on task and I want it to be perfect......and if you know anything about me I very descriptive in my writing....so that in itself takes along time.....so I will keep you updated on the Book....

Far away .....but close at Heart.......

Just resently my good friends Sarah and David Jamison move from Texas to Colorado. Sarah will be getting her masters there and David started his new job. I love seeing them on this new adventure in their life's ....but man am I going to miss them......I wish them the best as they start both school and work...and pray they love every moment of it....It is hard being that faraway from Sarah but hey .....Colorado is a great place to vacation...:)

Hello.....oh hi God....yha I know I forgot to call you back ......

So many times God is calling us to do things and to serve him. Most of the time if we dont like was he has to say we dont return his call.. so to say....just like a kid when there parent has asked them to take out the trash or to do there homework....and the kids decides what he is doing is better than what was asked...so many times I find God calling me to do thing that I dont like and that are different and might make me fell uncomfortable .......But God did not tell us to only go when it is right for us but when HE tells us.....for the longest time I could not see why God had called me to serve in Alaska this summer....but now I do ......and so I say I Will Go ....were you call me Lord.....Acts 1:8

The definitive line between friends.......

So recently I have took a long hard look at the word friendship. What does it really mean to be a good friend? Having all the right answers? Being there? Trustworthy? Or just someone who can sing the song to your heart when you forgot it? But then there is a line between a friend and a best friend...... A friend is someone you say hi to every once in a wile and a maybe hang out ever so often.....But a BEST friend is someone you can tell any thing to that when you call them they make time to lision even if its just for 2 mins......this person is someone who knows you ....who can tell when your mad...can tell when your faking it and can call you out on it....but they will never tell you you cant make it....your not good enough.....and what makes them such a great friend is you would do the same for them in a heart beat....no questions asked....

So I just found out that I was accepted to go with GO NOW MISSIONS this summer.....the whole summer....im so excited to see were i will be placed. I find out on the 18....I would love to be placed in Bangkok Thailand....this is where my grandparents served for 4 years of my life. It would be totally cool to experience things on the other side of the world.....cant wait right now im just working on getting my passport......

Texas Bobsleigh Team.....

So on Friday it snowed and everyone came out and played the whole campus was outside it felt like...running around and just being kids again. Well me and my friends had the bright idea to try and be pulled buy a truck and make our version of bob-sleighing haha TEXAS style. So if your looking at this picture im the one in the blue at the back....later that night we tried extreme sledding and I ended up dislocating my hip....needless to say it was worth it!

Repaint Jesus........

Today's chapel was so good...it really got e thinking about my life and what all has made me who I am today...and all the people who made me who I am.....then I got to thinking ...wait Katie how are you Repainting Jesus??? I would love to say I have been doing it all right. But I can...I took this opportunity to change how I was displaying who JESUS really is and how he has change my life. I want to thank everyone who has made me who i am ...because Jesus has me on the road he wants me on.....

Check one..two..testing

So I have taken up guitar and I'm writing songs and just loving the fact that God is using me in this way. When I got to UMHB...everyone had something to offer something that just stood out about them but not me I was just Katie. My friend Diana started teaching me guitar and I took to it like a bird to the sky...and I been getting better every day.....this pic is from the first time I preformed in front of a crowd of people it is at a Haiti benefit concert. I was so nervous that I think I prayed like 20 time for God to just give me courage. So I was on stage singing and I guess i got to closes to the mic and it shocked me...and not only did this happen once but three times....to the audience it just sounded like a pop in the speakers...but no it shocked the heck out of my lips....need less to say everyone loved it and I did fine. Now I have this confidence like no other.

Some of my best pics.......that I took

 I got first in the Washington county fair with this one....

 This was on that snow day my senior year....after it snowed me and my mom went around and took pics of the town.

 This makes me miss Friday night football games....when the team would bust out of the banner.....

 Oh good old volleyball games.....this bottle of water caught my eye.

 This was at a little shop in Arizona....some of the boots were so ugly...

I just love this pic....

Sarah and David Jamison.....

So just this last Saturday one of my favorite people ever got married to one great guy. My high school younglife leader and role model  Sarah Whalen is now Mrs. David Jamison. It was such a beautiful wedding from her dress all the way to the decorations on the table at the reception. There was no doubt theses two were in love....just the way David's face lit up as Sarah walked in the room or when the beautiful Bride took that walk down the aisle...Sarah has taught me so many things in life and is like the older sister I never had...I wish her and David the best....and oh have fun in Jamaica!!!!

Alway a first time...

Today was the first day of chapel for my second semester of my freshman year of college. I walked up thinking that a Bennie would be fine to wear in to chapel....but oh was I wrong! Every person holding a door told me to take off my hat....Little did they know my hair was a mess. It is common sense to know that 7 out of 10 times a girl wearing a hat is only wearing that hat for one reason and that reason is because their hair is a mess...we all know it is way easier to just grab a hat and go...especially when you are late to class already....needless to say I ran back to my dorm and fix my hair just in time to make it back before chapel had started. It was good though because people thought my hair look good pulled up..little did they know it has not been washed in like 3 days....and before you say gross...it really isn't.
