A New Year

Well, once again, it's been a while since I've posted. A lot has happened since then. The main thing is ... it's a new year! We're finally in 2009 -- my high school graduation year!

2009, I believe, will bring about many new and different things. For one, we have a new president -- Barack Obama. Though many republicans don't see him as the "right one" appointed for office, I believe he is appointed. No, I don't agree with most of his policies; however, I believe that God has placed Barack Obama in the position he's currently in at the right time. We never see God's plan, but there is always a plan from Him for us to "prosper and have a hope." President Obama will make right decisions, and he will make wrong decisions. No one is perfect. Christians all around America should pray daily for not only our president, but his family, his cabinet, and the other leaders working hard to maintain the safety and well-being of this nation.

Currently, I am getting ready for show choir competition season to start. (For IMPACT's competition dates, go to www.impactshowchoir.org.) We begin competeing this Saturday in Ellisville, MS, at Jones County Junior College. We will be competing in the South Jones Invitational against many groups. Pray for us as we compete. I'm very excited about competition. It's a great time to enjoy being on stage as well as meeting other people from all around the south.

May is coming soon! I can't wait to graduate! Yes, I'll miss my friends and teachers, but I'm so glad that these last twelve years will be behind me. It's been such an experience! I'm ready to begin a new chapter of my life. :)

Well, that's all for now.
