"In him we were also chosen having been predistined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will" Ephesians 1:11
At the Beginning of last Spring..before track really had even started.. God told me to go to Richland High...At first I thought I misheard.
Go to Richland High School like for like school?
YUP.
That was what He was telling me to do.
My first response was uhmmm NO WAY.
It's my senior year.
I have been at Liberty My whole life .. Literally .. since kindergarten.
How could I just leave everything I have worked for at Liberty and all the ammazing friends I have there?
welll God had a plan :)
HE always does.
I like that about him.
soooo....
I took a leap of faith.
My faith was solid in the Lord.
I knew that even if I went to richland and I had no friends that it was still God's plan for me and I was being obedient.
Its only been one month and already God has blown my expectations out of the water.
And surprised me in NUMEROUS ways!
I never thought I would be making friends.
None the less close friends.
Close girl friends.
Gosh.
I joined ten clubs :)
well nine unless you cant my visit to spanish club for the free quasadillas.
So basically my point is God is always right.
Be obedient. He WILL be faithful.
:)
This weekend was my 18th birthday. Sunday October 3rd I, Amber Buchanan, Turned 18 years of age making me an ADULT!
can I tell you its been an emotional weekend for me?
HA!
Example A.
Saturday before my party I was home cleaning my room ( which never ever happens) and I decided to take all the old middle school and freshman year stuff off the front of my bedroom door.
My thoughts went like so...
I am not a kid anymore I should probably finally take this stuff down.
As i am doing such..

at that moment
FREE FALLING by John Mayer acoustic version live comes on.
I lost it :)
hahah I was like oHHHH MY GOSH i am gonna be eighteeen! I am not a kid anymore.
I am applying to colleges.
In a year ill be at college.
Then I cried out of excitement for life.
God has this crazy plan for my life and I cant wait.
He has shown me some glimpses...
Australia, a summer camp...
but really it's His plan I never know whats gonna happen but I know if I continue to be obedient that My life will not fail :)
God will make it worth something
I used to always worry about stuff.
Always
But God has put me where I am right now with such purpose.
I am still in shock that I am at Richland Highschool.
and to be honest I dont feel like a new kid.
I love it.
I love everyone there.
You all have made me feeel so welcome.
Young life tonight was ammazing.
I can expect that this year will be the best year of my life yet far.
:)
AND if your wondering how my birthday went... well it was insane. there was like a ton of people at my house saturday night for cake and pinata.
I tried to invite everyone so im sorry if you missed the memo!
then at exactly midnight I walked into the casino.
...and....Won!
9 dollars and 50 cents playing Spanish 21 :) FISHY!
then went to dennys with some GREAT ppl and got my free grand slam!
it was a good night.
God is good.
Life is good.
friends are good.
Never can I be dissapointed with trials because things always get better.
I always am growing and learning new things.
I cant even handle how much I love each day :)
I pray God shows you this overflow of joy.
