Long Story Short

Allot has happened in the past month, so sorry i haven't posted anything in awhile. I was flooded with babysitting jobs and used my spare time by spending it with God, family, and friends. Then my grandma called and informed us that what the doctors had originally thought was pneumonia turned out to be cancer. It was already to far along to do anything and was told she has 6 to 9 months to live. But i still believe in miracles and even if God does not heal her on earth he will gibe her a new body in heaven. She has already begun to anticipate heaven and would be perfectly happy either way. She continues to be a constant inspiration to me even while she suffers. Please be praying for her. She's a woman who had poured out her life to serve God and bring people to him. My Mom and I took a trip to see her for a week in Washington and I got to make some memories with her as well as see some old friends. The following are the highlights of my trip:

Above and below are the Lancaster girls. Beautiful sisters that love God and love people. They come from a huge family of ten children. They are all very friendly so i quickly felt like i was one of the family.


This is my old Sunday school teacher. She has been through allot but she has way more smile lines than frown lines and she continues to bring comfort and frank truth to everyone she meets.

Karyn is a childhood friend of mine. She has grown up to be a beautiful lady tattoos and all.

Kayla is another childhood friend and is one of my many friends that is adopted. I look forward to being able to change the lives of kids like her when I have a family of my own.

These are members of the Henrickson brood. Ruth and Rose are sweet as sunshine dipped in honey. I'm excited to see them grow into amazing women of God.
I got to go to my favorite pizza place with these really awesome people. Diana (lovely lady on the right) is a girl i've known since i was five. She just got married to the fella next to her who is also rather awesome. The blur Is a newer friend that was in Diana's wedding party last year. The blur's name is Zac and he is a member of a family of ten that is stuffed with awesomeness.

There were allot more people i got to see that i just didn't get pictures with. One big highlight was my uncle. I have very few memories of him but I got to see him again for the first time in 5 years. He is not a christian but over the week that i was there I noticed changes in him and on Sunday he told us he was coming to church with us. He cried during the service and I prayed hard the whole time. Please pray the God will get a firm grip on him, and that he will continue to use me to be a light to him.
The whole trip was amazing. i was always tired by the end of the day but it was the good kind of tired where your exhausted by all the hugs and chats and laughter with good friends. And the good times keep on coming. I even got to go to my old church and fill up my hug-o-meter, and hear an amazing sermon from a pastor that I've known my whole life who continues to help me understand more and more about the grace of God, and how it is free but not cheap.
