Bucket List for Senior Year.

While I am excited for summer to arrive with new friendships and late nights filled with smiles and laughs. The time of summer is coming close with less than 24 school days. It is bitter sweet because Seniors friends are leaving,Juniors taking the ACTS, AP Exams, graduation party's,and loads of school work piling up. It is filled with mix emotions with so many thoughts running through my head. It's crazy to wonder about where I will be in a year and a half. Next year, I am going to be a Senior and then going off to college. There are SO many things I still want to accomplish in my Senior career and so many decisions that need to be made for my future. All I know is to trust in our Lord and Savior and to rely on his strength.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give 
you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am 
gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For 
my yoke is easy and my burden is light."-Matthew 11:28-30

You Will Find Me - Andrew Ripp

Young Life had a concert to where the profits went to help kids go to camp. The guest was Andrew Ripp, he is a great artist and everyone loved him. I got the honors to go and this is my favorite song. This song is beautiful and the meaning is simple. Love this song so much that I can't stop Listening.

When your soul is weak
When you find doubt
When you can't hear me
Lay your troubles down

In your dark moments
When your hearts weak
Bring yourself broken
You will find me

Who wrote the rain
Who wrote the sun in
Who called your name
Where are you running
I'm gonna be there near or far
I'm gonna meet you where you are
Who wrote your name
Who wrote the sun in

When you come thirsty
When the wells dry
When your souls dirty
I am by your side

When your faiths broken
When you can't see
With my arms open
You will find me

Who wrote the rain
Who wrote the sun in
Who called your name
Where are you running
I'm gonna be there near or far
I'm gonna meet you where you are
Who wrote your name
Who wrote the sun in

You carried all my shame
When you called my name
I am not the same

Who wrote the rain
Who wrote the sun in
You called my name
I'm tired of running
I'm gonna be there near or far
I'm gonna meet you where you are
Who wrote your name
Who wrote the sun in

Check out Andrew Ripp his music rocks!

With joy and thanks,
Julia
