No complaints.

Not this time...

I remember on several occasions, I would be dramatically worried about money for mission trips, prom, and other various events in spring.
Glenview is leaving this Saturday morning on the family mission trip to Galveston. Unfortunately, I was an idiot and forgot to apply for a scholarship early-on considering I couldn't pay for it, but it turns out my parents could have paid if they wanted to, but I had to *earn* the money myself to go. I didn't get that memo until yesterday...
So, with that said, I kicked into gear to earn some money. I offered to work for my grandmother yesterday with any household chores(she always needs that kinda help), so she sent me over to her house and had me do some fairly small stuff for her. She paid me a generous amount, which included birthday money as well.
That helped a whole lot..
but I still have a little more to go. I plan to work around the neighborhood tomorrow to earn the rest, which hopefully won't be too stressful. It's not that much to get, but I have no clue how stubborn my neighbors are.
Hmm..

But this is what I'm posting this blog for!
I need prayers that I'll get what I need, and also for peace in my family. A lot is going on and everything is very hectic around the house right now, so prayers for that would be nice.
I can't complain though, God has blessed me a lot already. I didn't have a hard time at all finding a dress, date, and ticket for prom this year. No dress stresses for once, which helps a whole lot. I've also managed to find time to work on my school, which is an abnormally light load this semester. Only thing I can say about that is that I'm sucking at Computers Class at TCC because the Word and Excel software I have to use to do homework and labs are not on my home computers, so I can only do homework in class, which leads to a LOT of undone homework and horrible grades. I think half my current grades are F's, which really stresses me out because my mom will be ticked if I fail. I may end of spending the day at the TCC library on Tuesdays and Thursdays to work on those while Holly is in her class.
I guess we'll see...


OnADifferentNote:

I entered (at least) two of my photos into a photography exhibition at TCC that will be displayed in a couple weeks. I've also entered a painting I did last semester into the Watauga Public Library art competition, also in the next couple weeks. I submitted my work last week, and the clerk at the desk asked if I had any other artistic sisters, and continued to ask about a drawing entered last year of Jesus. Turns out she was talking about mine, which I was excited about, because I didn't think people would remember my stuff that much.
My mom went to the Library today to see what other people had entered. She also talked to the desk clerk and asked about why they didn't have a photography section. The lady said that many people have asked, and they considered doing a separate competition for photography. She followed my suggesting just a show instead of a competition. She then asked my mom if I had enough photography to put up my own show there at the Library and if I'd be interested.
"Of course!"
So my mom came home and told me about it and asked if I wanted to put up a display show at the Library. It's not a solid plan yet, but it could potentially happen in early May.
:-D







I think that's all the news I have so far.
