I must correct myself from my last post. I said that I am not "holy enough" . I am, in fact, not holy at all. Only by the Blood of Jesus Christ can I come to the Throne of God, nothing I do or say is good enough.

It's Been A While
Hello my good friends,
I am sorry I haven't written for a while.
Seeing as how it's been so long, I believe now I will tell you about the fun things that happened last month and what's going on now.
So, December 16th we had a Fellowship Meal at Church which was very nice. The Pastor's daughter (one of my best friends) was home from College and I gave her a late Birthday gift which she was very grateful for and that made me happy. The Saturday after that (the 22nd) my Uncle and his precious little daughter came up to Memaw and Grandpa's and I got to spend the day there playing with her (she's 6) and just spending time with my Uncle, cousin, and grandparents, also my Aunt was there for a little while which was fun as well!! Then on the 23rd another one of my best friends and her family were able to come to Church and after Church most of the members (including her and her family) went caroling which was so fun and we had a wonderful time together! Christmas was lovely! My Uncle and little cousin were unable to make it but another one of my cousins came which was so much fun! He is a blast to be with and he always keeps us laughing. We don't get to see him very often and it was just so wonderful having him at Memaw and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
On New Year's Eve we just stayed home and Mommy, Daddy, Chris and I played games and ate snacks. We, of course, watched the ball drop which we've done every year for as long as I can remember. So, we had a fantastic evening at home.
Chris woke up with a bit of a cold today and Mommy has a headache:( I hate it when my loved ones don't feel well, but I know this is the Lord's Will and it His Will whether or not we go to Church this week. This would be the last week that the Pastor's daughter will be there before she leaves again for College, but that's okay, there's always the next time she's home whenever that may be.
I am so thankful for the New Year the Lord has brought us and I pray that this year His Name will be Glorified in everything I do, say, and write as It should have been last year. I pray for a change in my heart this year. I am not perfect or holy enough to come to God, yet I pray still that I may become the young lady that He wants me to be and never for one second think that I deserve His Love because I don't. I pray to be constantly reminded of the horrible, wretched, sinner I was before His Love and still am although He has Saved me for I am still His "unworthy maiden".

Hallucinations & Car Trouble
Hello all!
I know I don't write on here very often, and for anyone who really cares, I'm sorry.
So, what's been going on in my life? oh not much. I have said before that I have a problem in my nervous system. Anyway, I was taking medication for it, but that wasn't helping. My doctor decided to put me on a different medicine, well.....it was working for a while, but then last Thursday night we were all in bed and I started hallucinating. The next day, Mommy called my doctor and he said that that is a side effect, so he told me that I should take half a pill, which I have been doing, but that doesn't really seem to be working either. I'm trying so hard to trust God with all of this. Last Christmas was not a good Christmas because of this problem so I'm a little apprehensive about this Christmas, but trying to just lay this down at my Father's feet and trust Him. I would very much appreciate prayers for this, if you wouldn't mind.
On top of all that, we're having major problems with one of our cars. Last Friday, Mommy, Chris, and I were out and our car was stalling really bad. Well, we went to Barnes & Noble and shopped around for a bit, thinking we would let the car cool off for a while. When we left there and were driving up at the end of a road (with a red light), it started stalling and smoking under the hood.....Mommy was doing everything she could to try to get it to a gas station, that was just right there. The traffic just kept coming and no one even stopped to ask us if everything was alright, they just kept going and honking their horns and giving us cruel looks. Well, we all got out to look at it (not that I know anything about cars), but there was nothing we could do and we were still in the middle of traffic, mind you. Mommy decided she would get back in and try to turn to get to the gas station, she didn't want us to get back in because it was smoking (all of us expecting it to burst into flames at any moment). Chris was stopping the traffic so Mommy could go and I was just standing there with him (of course, no one was happy about him standing there, but he didn't care, he was ready to destroy anyone that would say or do something).
Mommy made it to the gas station just barely and Chris and I ran over there. After a while Mommy decided she would call Daddy at work and see if he would come pick us up. He was able to come and when he got there he looked under the hood to see if he could find the problem, but alas he was unsure. That was alright though, Mommy, Chris, and I took Daddy back to work and used his car the rest of the day, then went to go pick him up from work. We were able to leave the car where it was and then we went to go pick it up after we got Daddy.
Anyway, the car is in a mechanic's shop now and I don't know when or if it'll be fixed. We have had problems with this car for months and taken it to different mechanics, but no one seems to know what's wrong with it. We thought it was fixed at one point, but alas nay. So, we'll see. God's Will be done.
Well, I think that's pretty much my story.
Oh, I'm so happy, the Creator blessed us with snow yesterday!! It's still on the ground, but it's melting. We're supposed to have some more tomorrow morning, so we'll see. I'm hoping for a White Christmas though! God's Will be done! I just love big fluffy snowflakes falling so.....gracefully, it's so beautiful!
I am looking forward to Christmas, but like I said, a little apprehensive too.
Mommy, Chris, and I have been watching Christmas movies that we've recorded. We've been listening to Christmas music for a long time now, oh I just love this time of year!

P.S. the car didn't actually catch on fire, for those that are wondering.
