Heavenly Father

Today was breath taking. Unexplainable. Unforgettable. Today is the day Jesus Christ saved me. I asked him to forgive my sins, and make me whole and pure. I asked him to make me his. I prayed to him, that he accept me and welcome me to heaven when my time comes, and that he may use me as I am needed. I prayed to My Heavenly Father, that I will be loved. That I will be a daughter of Christ. Do you know what he said to me? He says, "Audrey, I accept you. I Love you. I will make you whole. I will Make you mine. I will save you. I will protect you, and make you whole and pure. Believe in me, I am the light. I am the way. The only way. Follow me, and you will be saved." A strong sense deep inside me told me that I needed to get up and walk to the baptismal pool, and become part of my God, and be truly loved. I was given a "Red Dot Love" shirt and pair of shorts to wear after the baptism. The woman lead me to the huge pool in the auditorium. I walked up the ladder. There were people telling me, "God Bless You!" left and right, and I just cried because He has blessed me. With everything in my life. And he will always bless me, as long as I hold him close. I stepped into the water, in my clothes. I waded through the chest high waves, and I was told to go over to John Bishop. John asked me for my name, and if I had prayed to my lord to be accepted with him. I nodded. He held my hand and said a prayer in my ear, brought my hand to my nose and said, "You will go down as everything you ever were, and come up as a new child of God. He tilted me back into the water, and pulled me back up. I was crying, and he said God Bless. I will never forget this day. And the best part, it was filmed by Fox 12 News, and will be aired on Easter Morning at 10:00 AM.

SINGING WITH NO VOICE : /

Sang Too Much : /

I think I sang too much.. Haha. I'm losing my voice now. But I was sick before so it could just be coming back. But anyways.. My producer and I are going to try and work a bit this spring. I'm psyched!! Just wrote 2 new songs, hope they'll be up. Tatah.

Blahh : /

Wow. Not much to say about today really.... Uh pretty normal. Jack In The Box for dinner. Sourdough Jack, Curly Fries, and a large Root Beer. Haha. I'm pretty basic there.. Got a bit behind in History today. Hope I get caught up. Hell that's it really.... Ummmmm Tatah for Now?

OFFICIALLY TIRED.

That's it. I am officially wiped out. It was Uncle Glen's 50th birthday today, (Woot, Woot!) so we had a big birthday bash at his place. Unfortunately with Rebecca being gone for more than a year now, it was hard for me to be at her house. Especially with Corinne and Glenn there. With out her there, it seemed hollow and kind of quiet, even though there was probably 15 people at the party. it was fun though. Anyways, church was great. sang another beautiful hymn, and got written down for singing special music in April. I'll probably videotape it and put it up here. well, it's late. even with the whole "spring forward, fall back" thing going on. So, Tatah For Now everybody.

Community Service Gone Bad..

So I was planting trees with the rest of the Earth Club at Cottonwood Beach, and I was using a shovel to dig holes in the ground to put the trees into.The dirt was mixed with clay which made it hard to dig in. I jumped on the shovel, fell backwards, and landed on a patch of stinging nettles. It sucked. It just so happened, that my shirt came up a little bit, and the nettles caught my bare skin. It burned SO bad, and then came the itching. Then the worst part. The burning, itching, blotchy white and red rash. I'm definitely wearing a leotard next time I go plant trees : (

Community Service

Tomorrow morning, my youth group and I are going to do one of the things on our list of services for the community. we are going to replant trees at the beach. I get to wake up at 7:30 on a Saturday, WOOHOO!! then we are going to SafeWay to get supplies, then we're on our way to the beach : ) At noon, I get to head home, and go running! Yay exercise. haha.

CRAZYY!!

This is what happens when people leave cameras out where i can find them......

Cinderella

Oh My Gosh. Get this. So our school is putting on a play, "Cinderella" and i got the part of the Stepmother!! It's my first big part in a play. I can't wait for the experience to really start to unfold! we've been having practice almost every day for like the past month. we started working in the theater this week. It is so much more fun! You get a little taste of what it's gonna feel like on opening night. We have the most amazing cast ever! Katelynne, Micah, Leila, Madison, Darlina, Sam, and Sarah are the best around! And they're all good friends of mine! I can't wait for the performance! I'm not gonna lie.. Things do get a little crazy at times.. Haha. Kate is SO funny. She does silly things with mops, and always says random things, that keeps the cast kicking. I was so tired today.. Micah bought the cast milkshakes before rehearsal today. It was great. he is like MADE of money. But still.. Our cast is great.

My Biggest Dream

I've finally realized what i want to do with my life. Everyone has that one special dream that they've kept tucked away safely in the deepest folds of their heart ever since.. as long as they can remember. Mine has always been to become a famous Singer/Songwriter. I've been making progress all my life. When I was about three, it was singing on a little art table, wearing hippie sunglasses and my mother's high heel shoes, singing into an old flashlight with all the lights in the house turned off. Then as i got older, it turned into singing happy birthday all by myself at parties, then it escalated to singing Christmas carols, full length solo songs in choir, winning talent shows, then going to state honor chorus, entering all sorts of vocal contests, and then eventually, even going to the Big Apple! I was thrilled to even have made it this far! Then this summer, i went to an Emerson Drive concert. (Because i am absolutely in love with the fiddler's tush!) everything was normal until my mom entered us in a contest to win an autographed T shirt and front row seats. I found out about 5 minutes later that the contest was who could create the best version of the Alan Webb car sales jingle. Our little contest, of sorts, was going to be the opening act for the band. The pre-game show, kind of. I couldn't believe it. I was going to be on the same stage that the man with the amazing booty was going to be standing on in a matter of minutes! they took us back stage, and led us up onto the big black platform that my favorite band would be rocking up a storm in 15 minutes. Of course, i was first up. The host introduced me, asked me my favorite animal, and placed the microphone in my welcoming hands. I brought the microphone to my lips, and let out the tune i had planned out so perfectly in my head. Faces in the crowd lit up. I could see my dad, standing on top of the amphitheater, spinning in circles, his hands clenched into fists, thrown high in the air. I knew he was proud. The other 3 contestants did their thing. one of whom was my best friend, Jujie. Then came the judging. The host did the whole "when i point to the contestant scream as loud as you can for your favorite" trick. It made me feel uncomfortable. But low and behold, when he put his hand over my head, i thought the crowd was going to explode. I couldn't believe it!! he handed me the shirt and the tickets, and told me to stick around and meet the band. I was so thrilled. I knew my papa would hug me tight and Rebecca would tell me i could've sent the crowd into a homicidal rage if i would've tried to. life couldn't get any better than that : )
