Well everyone, how are ya'll doing? I'm pretty good. Just waiting to clock in at work.
Well a lot has been going on. I'm a different person than what I used to be. I don't know if that's good or bad yet. I think it's neither. I've just grown up I think. I've just been thinking a lot about things that have happened over the past few years. In retrospect, I'm glad that certain people are gone now. I'm glad that things worked out the way they did. It was best for me and I'm much happier now than I ever was then. Perhaps I'll elaborate later.
Well, I'm totally excited for this!!!!! (Look down)
Encounter 2007!!!! I'm so pumped!!! It's gonna be awesome!!!! Gotta start saving and getting ready for it now. Last year was off the hook, and I desperately need this get away.
I sang karaoke for the first time last Friday! I was at Pastor Deriks bachelor party (which was totally lame). We went bowling and then after that was done, a few of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings. PD didn't go. How lame. He basically lied and said he needed to go home and get rest for the next day, but at around 3 AM some people drove by his work and he was there. Yeah, his house is TOTALLY getting pranked while he is away. hehehe But anyways, they were doing karaoke there at BWW's and they finally talked me into singing. I sang "Higher" by Creed and "Hanging By A Moment" by Lifehouse. The manager and the dj were blown away! lol The manager wanted to record me, and the dj kept asking me where on earth I had been and why I hadn't come up and sing earlier. So I'm going back one more time. I was freaked out at first but it was fun after the fact. I'm trying to pick songs that are Christian based.
Well this was just a quick blurb. I'll talk more later. God bless you guys and gals!

Hey You! I feel like it's been forever since we communicated. But it's all good. I know how it is when people first "fall in love" (hehe). I'm very happy that you and Amy are doing good. I'm SO intimate with Jesus...like never before. Wow...i know I am off of the purity fast, but by choice I'm not. I cried so hard when it was New years eve. I didn't wan it to end. IN a way (don't make fun of me lol) I felt like Jesus was breaking up with me, because I didn't know it would be so painful going to a new season not being on the "fast". However, I know God has something so amazing in store for this new year and I am excited about it! I feel like God is going to get me more prepared for ministry than ever before this year. Last year, I was mainly on my knees before Him, instead of using the gifts and preparing for ministry (that way), however I knew I was on the right place at the right time. That's where God wanted me. And....wow I know Him in a much deeper way! Praise God.
I'm excited that you are going to Encounter 2007. However, Touching Jesus won't be held anymore...at least for this year. The old pastors resigned fromt he church for some reason. THey are having something here in INdiana, but I won't be able to attend that. School is keep me busy! but i love school so much. ANd Im excited you are going back to school. What will you be majoring in?
My dad is doing better. He got done with his Chemo treatments about 6 months ago. Soon we will be taking a PET Scan to look at his whole body. He did get a blood test and its showed that his cancer activity level was pretty good..only 1.5...which is really good. if it was 2-5 that's normal. But if it went higher than that...they would be worried. However, his white platelets and blood count is still very low. And they are concerned about his prostate....because it elevated a lil bit. But I am totally trusting in God. No more of this worrying stuff. This is His battle and I am confident in Him to win it.I so want God to fight it for us...I wouldn't want it any other way. But lately he seems a little down. He says nothing is wrong with him, but it seems like he is sad or something.
But everything is going great here with me. Just been busy which I should get back to my homework. Thanks for the comment. I miss talking to you sometimes. You always encourage me in the Lord.
Have a blessed rest of your day! ....dorkface! (hahah!)

p.s. I have a myspace again. I am using it more on to keep in touch with the young girls at church. my friend and I might be leading a small group. Oh , boy i have such a heart for young girls to live a pure life for Jesus. It's what I call authentic beauty! Well...I kept you too long. But here's my site if you ever want to add me as a friend.

So, it seems that no one is ever using xana anymore! I rarely write on here anymore. It's good to hear from ya though!
Just thought I'd share a verse with you that's given me a lot of comfort the past week.
Romans 12:12
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, and faithful in prayer."
God Bless,
Serena
Hey Andrew, I am glad you got to go to Deriks party. I see Wendy at the Doctor office I go to. Ross and Rachel came in for the wedding but they said you weren't there but Mark was DJ and that he did a great job. Sure are glad that you sang that night. Use your talent for the lord. Hope you and Amy are doing good. Take care and will talk to you again soon.

Andrew, I can't help but feel that you were referring above of Rachel and Ross. Maybe it is better that they (she) are out of your life. I think that they (she) hurt you a lot but God gave you the strength to go on. Good luck in your new life.

hey it's ash from church
