So we taught Keyra how to say "trick or treat" : ) I mean we did pretty good. "Rrick a reat!" is pretty close don't you think? She was a baby bumble bee and absolutely adorable. I stuck flowers in my hair and was her flower. : ) it was fun. It's a pretty eventful year. . . my first year NOT actually "trick or treating." NOPE... no candy. *sigh* oh well, mom said she's going to grab the discounted candy tomorrow. LoL

I dressed up for school today as a piece of pizza. It was really fun. One kid actually asked me what I was. . . I truly had the most obvious costume. Mercy. . . His friends laughed and punched his arm, "Dude, she's a pizza!!" LoL... anyway... Kyle's joke was that lunch was on me. So hey guys. . . lunch is on me. I'll have to post some pictures.

Oh... remember the horrible thing I did yesterday and how I apologized later? Well the person I insulted pulled me aside and told me that I showed my true character when I came back and apologized. Eased my guilt and embarrassment. I'm glad I apologized. I'm sad I let my stress get the better of me. I'm glad I'm forgiven.

~Toni was a nurse ... she was funny
~Kyle was a guy who just woke up (but the silly head took it off before 1st hour was even over)
~my third grade kids loved my outfit
~the third graders had a party that was fun... yum... great snacks.
~my family went to Pizza Hut after 'trick or treating'

Much Love,
Kylney Michal

The LORD is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27:1

*sigh* I was horrible today and let my emotions get the better of me. I was stressed out and not thinking and I insulted someone and they over heard me. I feel absolutely horrible about it. I went back before school was over and apologized. Thank heavens they are down to earth and mature. I apologized and explained there was no reason for me to be so rude and unkind. ugh... I didn't even mean what I said... *sigh* I still feel bad, but I'm glad I apologized and faced the problem immediately. I have resolved to work much harder to not let my silly emotions and my stupid mouth get the better of me.

. . . I did finally complete the big scholarship... (major component of stress maybe?) I feel so much better now that I have that complete... and I'll feel even better when I have it sent off tomorrow. I also had my financial meeting with my financial advisor at the Art Institute. woah. . . talk about loans... It's all in God's hands I can tell you for sure. I really do like this school... so we'll see how it goes. I have strict orders from my parents not to let cost get in the way of my education... so I'm working and praying really hard to not think to much about cost.

So pray for me.... pray for college... pray for my stupid mouth...

~found hilarious video on the internet (OH MY WORD!!) : )
~turned in my big scholarship
~took another set of senior pictures on Sunday
~worked at the scrapbooking store on Saturday
~sold ads for journalism on Friday
~mom had a crop on Friday night

Where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice
James 3:16

I'm in National Honor Society and as a community service we shovel snow for the elderly. Well. . . it snowed last night... kind of. One of the girls in my "snow shoveling" group called and said her grandparents said that there was a inch on the snow. So all of us girls got up early and showed up at 7:30 to shovel... well... there was an inch of snow on the grass not the side walks or drive ways. Yes... so we shoveled the powder off the side walks... and there was absolutely no snow on the drive way. So after that we stood around wondering what to do... so Clairien and I got coffee which was the best thing ever since it was so cold.
It added a great laugh to my day.

My day was good though. After school my aunt and uncle came over with their absolutely adorable son and he cuddled with me. Awwww... I love him so much. He's only about a year... and soooo cute. Also I'm close to my aunt and uncle soo... I just love this family.

I had a NHS induction ceremony tonight... short... simple... I read the roll of the inductees. I stumbled just a little on one name so I did really well. Anyway I had really good cake there... yeah... that's about it.

Things to list?
~16 oz of really good french vanilla coffee
~got to wear my Loki jacket again
~got to drive daddy's car
~saw trailer for Eragon

Luv ya!!

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Psalms 37: 5-6

I love my black shirt. It's an apple shirt but it's black and it's long sleeve so when I wear my cute senior sweat shirt (which is pink) I end up with a pink lint covered black shirt. . . which I don't really like all that much. So yeah that's what I ended up with today. I wore my pink sweat shirt the whole time I was at school but I had to take it off for my chiropractic appointment. That's when I realized I was covered in a rather embarrassing layer of pink lint. LoL... oh well. What can I do?

One day I'm going to look back on these days and laugh at how silly I was... yeah... silly. I'm in the mists of applications and scholarships. *sigh* I feel rather over worked. . . I just need to keep in mind that God has all of this planned out for me. He knows exactly where I'm going to college, who I'm going to marry, where I'm going to work, where I'm going to work. . . He knows everything... omniscient. I can barely put to words exactly how incredible that is... shows you just how imperfect I am. He is the perfect one for the Almighty job. I'm so glad He's the one in control of everything.

Okay... quickly events for today.
~major road work in front of the school road... had to make a MAJOR detour to get to school on time
~rain and snowed and was dreary all day long...
~had to share a chair at the lunch table (it was spaghetti, not to bad)
~AWANA fair... loved playing with the kiddos
~vocab quiz... I don't think I did great

Luv Always,

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
Ephesians 4: 2-3

Right at the moment I don't have much to write... for it is only 8:30 in the morning... I'm just sitting here in first hour watching all the freshman learn to draw... or "observe." That's what my art teacher calls it... being able to draw is just the ability to see. He's pretty good at what he does... Mr. Mc...

I work for his wife in the afternoon. She teaches third grade (and does a great job I might add). I love helping her and the third graders out. They are so funny and so excepting. Most of the kids give me hugs everyday (even the boys) and when they see me around town... out of school they always wave and say hi . . . most of them usually run up a give me a hug. They are very observant and it is a tiny bit intimidating to realize how much they watch me. One of the little girls told me one day that I had worn my 'smokey the bear' shirt seven times. . . once a week since school started. She's counted how many times I've worn a shirt. : - O It shocked me... so I smiled and said "Well... it is my favorite shirt." LoL... ; - )

Okay... it's not 8:30 in the morning anymore... it is 7:01 in the evening. I have had a slightly stressful day at school but nothing to horrible to cry over. I love working on the yearbook that's probably why I am so willing to deal with all the stress I deal with. I love (almost) everything about yearbook. . . taking pictures and layout and design... I just don't care for the stress, but I can deal with the stress to do what I love.

Okay... let's see. Events for today.
~band kids won 2nd in state... pretty sweet
~had tacos for lunch... one of the better meals
~finished up the application for Cedarville University
~started the application for John Brown University
. . . lol... that's about it...

luv all you!

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John 11:25-26

I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.
Philippians 3:10

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Psalm 139: 1-3
