Dear Diary,
Oh how quickly time has flown by the past 2 1/2-3 months!! It seems just like yesterday that my brother and I got out of school at Truth Academy and said goodbye to all school-related work for a few months!!:P And already it is only 5 days till we're back at the grind again. Though I am very sad I have to go back to the dreaded classroom schedule, I made so many fun memories over the summer!:)

I got to go to my very first summer camp with friends from school and had an absolute blast!!I also made a commitment to God while I was there which made it all the better!!

(BAD PICTURE btw!!!And 2 of us aren't in there!)lol=)

I was able to celebrate my G'Pa ad G'Ma Sorrell's 40th Anniversary with the whole family which was a blast!!We were worn out working so hard to make everything perfect but we had such a fun time doing it together as a family!!

I got to do lots of swimming as usual and catch lightening bugs with my siblings on late June nights! That is always fun no matter how old you get.:D
I wrote a song this summer as well(this one is actually half-way good). ;) haha
I don't have the music yet...hopefully will in the future although I have a tune I sing the song to.
A lesson I learned this summer is that although you get one year older every year and you "get mature" doesn't mean you can miss out on all the fun. Be yourself even around ppl you're shy around and just have fun even if you're not good at what's being played( that would be vollyball for me--hehe=P). Everyone makes mistakes and if you just be yourself and have fun no matter what, everybody will accept you for who you are (and if they don't--lose 'em). NO NO DON'T!!:)haha just kidding!!:)

This past weekend we got to go to the Annual Homeschool Music Fest which was a blast!!:)
Our close friends who have a family band played twice and it was fun to be with them!!We also got to stay at our other friends' house who are so so nice and generous and it was great fun to stay at their house under their wonderful hospitality!!:)

Tomorrow I am having my close school friend over and we get to be together and have fun on one of the last days of our summer. I had wonderful news that my cousin (whom I hardly ever get to see but love to death and have a blast with everytime I see her) is coming to my school this year!!!!WHIPEEEEEEE!!!:):):)That makes school even more fun!!:D

I am trying my best to fill a lot of the orders for my bake-for-life fundraiser and I am so thankful to God that I am over $300 so far and I still have a month and a half to go!!:) Praise the Lord!!HE is good!:)

Summer is a time to take a break on our minds but so often it's a very very busy time of our year. I had such a busy summer but you know what I enjoyed every moment of it(that I can remember). hehe:):) Yes, I didn't get to sew or garden as much as I wanted but I got to do this awesome fudraiser,write a song, and go to camp among all the other things I just listed.;);)

It was so much fun!!:)

But school's here too soon..............oh well!!:)

Enjoying life,

I'm BACK!!!!:)

Hello All!!

I have missed all of you-I have been sick for two long weeks and I am still trying to recover.:(
I know.......a long time!:( We have figured out that it is a viral sickness going around and we happen to know some other people that have had it too.It is a long sickness and frankly I am sick and tired of it.:(

But before you think I am a spoiled rotten 13 yr. old,let me tell you some things.:)
While I've been sick,I've had to trust in God majorly because I would NEVER get better,it was NOT fun.See,I've had to go to school sick and it goes fine all day till this spell that all the people that have had this sickness get it @ about 2-4 o'clock.Then I would get the chills,fever,my ear hurts,and I get sick ALL over again.Thanks to God,I only GO to school two days a wk. :}
Anyway,I felt like I would never get well and day after day,I would get better and then in the afternoon,I'd get sick ALL over again.So you see my problem??:)

:):)
Well,I thought that I knew how to trust God,but evidently NOT!!!:)
Because I was sick everyday,I had school to work on,and I wanted to plan for my wonderful summer,BUT it was beginning to feel like I would never even see the summer.;)
So there are many trials during this time in my life.But I knew God wasen't going to give up on me ,so I wasen't going to give up on Him.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

These are God's promises and we as Christians need to believe them,besides if we never go through any trials we won't be tough and strong in the really hard times.God is with us always and I am glad that even when I hurt alot and I felt all alone in my trials-God was there with me and he listened to my cries,along with my parents,and other extended family.:)

And guess what!!!With God's help,I am hopefully getting better-FOR GOOD!!!:);)

Thanks for listening to me and all my silly ramblings....

Spread His Love,

Kendy Jo

Happy Monday everyone!!:)

Hope everybody's day is an awesome,fabulous,wonderful day!!!:)

Love you all,

Kendy Jo
