david isbell is the lamest blogger of all time... just putting that out there.
Ahh!! Who knew moving across the country would be so stressful? If you do not know me [which I am sure you do] I absolutely love planning, down to every little detail. Planning my wedding will probably be the highlight of my life, haha. Ask me what I am doing at Christmas time, my spring break, next summer... I know them all. I plan things so much ahead of time, its crazy. And besides planning, I like everything to be in perfect order. And for everything to be in order, I usually have to be in charge. Talicia says I'm bossy, but I prefer the term "leader". :)
Anyway, I have a feeling this obsession with planning and perfection isn't necessarily the best thing for me. When things aren't planned out nicely and perfect, I get really worried, nervous and frustrated. Obviously those things aren't very healthy.
I got extremely nervous when my tuition payment was due, I didn't have a car, and I only had enough money for one or the other. I am upset that I don't have money for clothes or other things I need... but... obvious answer coming... God has it all in control!!!
With my tuition and car issue... I prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed!!! It was either pay for classes and have no way to get there, or get a car but have my classes dropped!!! THAT NIGHT... Karen texted me and asked if I still wanted their car. I told her I would have to talk to my mom, and hopefully get back to her. Then in the morning, my mom called with a plan about the car and tuition... and Karen said it would work! I couldn't believe it... I went from thinking life was over [yeah a little dramatic], to having just the things I needed, at just the right time. Now I have completely renewed faith that He will provide the other things I have been worried about getting. God knows what He is doing!! I love it.
So tonight, I went to Good Hope's youth group with Kristen, and Tim is out of town. A couple boys were speaking since he was gone, and what was it about? Matthew 6:30-34. I had heard these verses many times before... but never had it hit me like it did. It completely addressed all the things that I have been recently dealing with!!
I have read and re-read it many times tonight. It is very hard for me to focus solely on today and what God wants TODAY... right now. But I am going to try. I'll keep you updated!!! :)
Anyway...."If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I'm trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God's giving. People who don't know God and the way He works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how He works. Steep your life in God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. " -Matthew 6:30-34 [the message]
WOW... I haven't posted something in so long. I don't even know if anyone still checks this!! I am currently living in Millbrook, AL and going to school at AUM. Which I am pretty sure anyone who reads this already knows those facts. Besides that, it is SUPER hot here. Not unbearable though. I like being within driving distance Dylan and the Isbells. Even though it is kind of a long drive... haha. Anyways hopefully I will have some more cool updates soon. :)
Today is my last day of high school EVER. Monday is my check out day, which includes an assembly and an early release. Today I take my last two finals, and then YAY I am done. I am so happy, I will be able to sleep in for a long time this summer :]
these strangers came to my bus stop with hot chocolate and now i am moving to alabama.
thanks!! haha.
i am feeling a bit random. no one has updated their blogs in like 5 years. school is a bit boring. i have no work to do, all my stuff for graduation is done... and its been that way for a while. after those blogs about re-arranging furniture a while ago, i decided to re-arrange my room and its pretty awesome. i love doing that kind of stuff. like when i am bored... my mom walks in my room and is like, "meagan?!? what is all this stuff?" and i am just like, " welp, it all came out of my closet. i'm just organizing." and i feel like my closet needs organized pretty soon. haha. sooo uhh, i am walking at graduation with my dear friend amanda otis. even though that means i cant sit by her. so i will be sitting by my other dear friend jessica. haha. this is so random. but yeah, graduation. its in like, 3 weeks. which means dylan and kristen will be here in LESS THAN 3 weeks. wow. crazyyy. and i am going camping without my parents for the first time EVER this weekend. talicia, amanda, kelsey and i are going to ocean shores for memorial day weekend [this weekend]. i am pretty stoked. and i just felt like an update, so there you go. [[farah, david... you guys are a bit behind. you should, how should i say this.... UPDATE your blogs? great idea. i love it. :) ]]
On Monday, I passed my CP [culminating project], which you have to pass to graduate. Its kind of a joke, because it is so easy... but I am glad I passed. Now all I have to do is pass my CWP class [required for seniors, and VERY easy], and I am good to go. Basically I have to show up for school, not fall asleep in class, and I will be graduating on June 12th, 2007 at 7pm. I am so excited.
PS- I just spent like 30 minutes trying to make it so there was a song on my blogger... but grrrrrrrrr its not working. How annoying, right?

I was just randomly thinking how weird it is to compare the first time you meet someone to how your relationship is right now. Some examples. When I first met my brother back on January 5, 1991, I never thought that one day that cute little baby with no hair that was sort of really fat would grow into a still really fat [hah joke], annoying, taller than me, louder than me brother who I would want to kick in the shin. I mean, he was a somewhat cute baby right? When I first saw these creepy people standing at my bus stop, I thought they were going to kidnap me. It was COLD, and foggy, and somewhat sprinkling. Who stands at bus stops at 7AM besides kid-knappers right? Little did I know David and Farah would become two of my best adult friends, who I admire sooo much. When I first met Talicia, did I think I would one day bring a couch into my room because she basically lived with me? Nooo. The thought of dating didn't ever even cross my mind when I first met Dylan in the most boring amount of wasted time in my life [drivers ed], and I should seen it coming, when we sat outside of Drivers Ed going over all the cute boys in her old yearbook, that Amanda and I would spend so many nights up late talking about, what else, boys.
I am not really sure what my point is. But I guess its just a cool thing to think about.
