Hey!!! -- Grace

Yeah, yeah, I'm still alive.  :)


I have been SOOOOO busy lately...I thought I'd just check in and let you know that yes, I'm still alive.  :)

I'm sure you don't want to know everything I've been up to, but let's just say, it involves three plays, working for a choir, trying to get done with high school, practicing my music for seven thousand hours a day (roughly), reading the Holy Scriptures, praying A LOT, and playing in a band.

Oh, I have exciting news!  Actually, I have two pieces of exciting news.  :)

1.  I'm going to be in Ohio next weekend.
YEAH!!  We're leaving at 6am Friday, and I won't be home until the early morning of Monday!  Isn't that awesome?  I've been praying that a lot of my friends can go too, and everyone that I've prayed about has let me know they're coming!  We'll be visiting the Kirtland Temple in Kirtland, Ohio, and the John Johnson Farm in Hiram, Ohio.  I can't remember exactly, but we might be going another place too.
(Disclaimer: We aren't Mormon.  Nothing against the Mormons, just, we aren't.)

2.  I started a website!
Now I know you're probably thinking, 'Yeah, Grace, you gotta website...THIS ONE!'  Well, this new one is a collection of testimonies.  If you like to read, go check it out at http://greatisthyfaithfulnesstestimonies.blogspot.com/ .  It would make me really happy if you did so, and I'm hoping to spread a little of God's light and love this way.

So....anyways!  Have a great week!  I'll try to write more...hahaha...

Oh, one last thing.  Have you ever considered making a travel playlist for those long, 12-hour car rides?  I was at the dollar store tonight when I found a cheap pair of earbuds (which I have been wanting so badly).  In the car, the idea came to me that I could make a travel playlist of my favorite Christian songs and listen to them on my roadtrip next week.  The friend that I am traveling with will probably be sleeping since she gets carsick easily.  I'm one of those people that, once I'm awake, I am awake ALL DAY until around 10.  So, I need to keep myself awake and entertained...and since music is my favorite thing, voila!  Why didn't I think of that sooner?  I'm putting a lot of Chris Tomlin, Building 429, Casting Crowns, Paul Cardall, Piano Guys, and...well...maybe some VeggieTales too...on there.  *Sheepish grin*
