Hello everyone! And no I didn't forget about you! : D I just got back from LA and the weekend was just too full to sit down and write for you, so you get the Tuesday version of the blog. Well, I spent last week on Santa Monica Beach in California! It was a great experience but I gotta tell ya, there's "No place like Home!" I can't tell you everything. . . well actually I can't tell you most of what we did because it would ruin the suprise! But, tune in on the Saturday before January 29, and you can see it for yourself : ) It was very interesting to get to meet all of the other contestants this week, but I have good news - so far everyone seems very nice : ) I made some great friends this past week, and shot out to Iowa who was my roomie. I'm gonna miss that late night- order-in Dominos pizza : ) I can honestly tell you that we will have a great competition this year, and it will be one that you won't want to miss!
It's so neat how the Lord brings scripture to you at just the right time in your life. Before I flew out last Monday, my Grandpa reminded me of Proverbs 21:31 "The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory is the Lord's." I'll admit .. I spent the weeks leading up to this trip worrying about being completely prepared for everything and every circumstance possible (my overweight suitcases were testimony to the fact). But in the end, it was the Lord that got me through the week, and already had every step planned out. No matter how "prepared for the day of battle" that I was, ulitmately God knew every twist and turn. Sometimes I really wish God would let me look into the future . . it would sure make for lighter luggage.
