Okay so i've decided that I'm going to blog! I am. Seriously though this time. Really. Why are you laughing. No, wait! I'm serious! Stop... okay. Do we have control now? Okay lets get on with this then.
So aalot has happened. But those of you who actually care enough to be reading this will know the basics. Life is good. No really. Mainly. For the most part.
Church planting is complicated. Just saying. (so i just noticed that most of my sentences so far aren't sentences. lol:P) But yeah there is so much that goes into planning what kind of a vibe you want people to walk away from Mercy Hill with. We have biblestudies on Thursday nights with the family thats helping us... the Nichols rock:) And that is really encouraging... to have a family that wants the same things we want and is willing to work alongside us for it. (and they have a 16 year old daughter who rocks, and a 9 year old daughter who rocks, and then their son is 14)
I could use prayer with weird joint problems... doctors, rheumotologists (thinkin about it) and just weird junk like that.
I need to go to bed now but I WILL be back. Honestly. Don't start laughing again. I'm warning you.
love you guys:)

hah. woops:)
okay so i forgot again... for a long time. my last post was about fiddler! alot has happened since then... ALOT!
anyways i can't catch you up on all of it so i'll just tell you about this past week...
we got back monday from ponca and then molly went with the hopkins on tuesday to spend a couple days with them. Lynn took his vows on thursday and is now officially in the Navy. he's at basic right now... please be in prayer for him, his family, and our family. (mainly molly) :)
i decided it would be best if i stayed behind on this one so i helped with VBS at bethel this week! it was soo much fun! it was really great to get to know the youth group better by serving with them. including pranks, etc...i had basketball practice thursday night, twisted my ankle and got a black eye. well sort of. its red and swollen. so now both of my knees, my ankle, and my face are hurt as well as having a pretty bad sunburn. hah. i got many teases and jokes from my friends at church. they told me i needed to just get a wheelchair cause i'm falling apart:P
though i miss ponca and all of my beloved friends there i'm beginning to feel at home here. well i wouldn't go that far... i'm beginning to feel like i belong at bethel. nowhere really seems like HOME right now... but i really do love it here:) the people are so sweet and i feel very loved:)
I LOVE MY FRIENDS! old and new:)

hey :)
heey! so i'm incredibly proud of myself that i remembered to post without being reminded. GO ME! lol!
so last weekend was crazy fun! i went to ponca on friday and saw Fiddler on the Roof. it was amazing. thats all i have to say! of course it helped that i knew half the cast :P lol, you guys did so amazingly incredible! i wanted to see it again sooo bad! we spent that night with kaley after going to the cast party :P lol, which was really fun! we talked and told each other horror stories (!) and made up a story where you say a couple sentences (or in molly's case paragraphs) and then you say mum and the next person starts up and ruins everything you had going with the plot. ANYWAYS. then we went to haley's surprise going away party on saturday, which i can talk about now :) lol, i was so proud of myself that i didn't spill the beans. GO AMY! it was toons of fun! we did a scavenger hunt, and water balloon fight, and pizza :) I LOVE YOU GUYS!
and then we went to pawhuska for Lynn's 18th birthday party at the lake which was SUPER fun :) we were there from 2:30-8:00 and i managed to get home without any sunburn. not having used sunscreen. explain that one to me!
we went to church on sunday, and then we left on monday for bethany's. it took 7 hours to get there! it took forever! but it was worth it, we went to her babyshower with her and stuff... she is so cute pregnant! she only has 4 weeks left! we got back last night and watched a movie. today we're just relaxing and enjoying NOT DOING SCHOOL! :) we move into our house on monday, i can't believe its already here i'm sooooooooo excited! WOOHOO!

SORRY!
okay... i'm sorry! i completely forgot!!!!
anyways, i'm super excited about everything right now!!! i'm making alot of really good friends at bethel, and of course that is super exciting!!!
this weekend we're coming to see Fiddler on the Roof presented by Ponca Playhouse, in which are going to be some of my very best friends. we'll stay the night with one of those very best friends kaley, and go to pawhuska on saturday for my sisters 'special friend' Lynn's birthday party at the lake! its going to be soo much fun! i'm looking forward to seeing some friends that i don't get to see every day :)
so last weekend, on saturday morning we went out with a bunch of people from Bethel, whom we thank very much :) and handed out 1,000 FLIERS! my word! that is alot of fliers! me and hannah nichols, had a blast talking to people and being crazy :P on saturday night was the JJ STUPOTE concert, which was INCREDIBLE! i know kaley and haley have been to concerts and camp, but they have gotten so much better! you guys will be shocked to hear them, they rock!! that was just an amazing time of fellowship with friends, to meet new people, and to glorify God through worship of His incredible name!!!
On Sunday JJ STUPOTE played at church, which was again, incredible. and on sunday night we had the first...
MERCY HILL CHURCH!!!!
woohoo!!! lol, it was incredible. we cranked up the sound for JJ STUPOTE as they helped us start up! it was so exciting to be finally there, doing what we have been planning for so long!!! there were about 50 people there, none of which weren't there to help. In other words nobody we didn't already know, didn't come. but it was okay, i mean it was the the first service!!! we're going to have it once a month during the summer and then this winter we'll have it every sunday night!!!
i apologize if i have bored you with the little details of my humble existence...

Yay for Blogs!!!
So i took my dear friends' Kaley and Haley's advice and... got myself a blog. My ingenious mother came up with the clever name... which i still think is kind of funny and.... here i am! reading all of my friends' blogs, and my sisters' i don't know if i feel quite capable of doing as funny a blog as they do... but i will honestly try.
so as anybody that knows me even remotely well knows, we have just recently moved to tulsa... sorta. we're currently living with my grandparents that live outside of chouteau. We're going to be planting a church here, once we can get things going.
we went to the opera this morning and it was fun to get to see my friends' from ponca, who drove up. we then went to Jasons Deli, known in our family as 'the place with the free icecream' there is in fact such a thing as free icecream :) YUM.
this weekend my parents are going to a church planting confrence, and we're going to my brother luke's junior college graduation. i'm getting a little random so i'm going to post more later!
Thank You you've been a beautiful audience!
