I'm just a little bit excited this morning because I got the official letter from Evangel saying I got a one time scholarship from a private donor! what?! I thought they told me just a few short weeks ago that I didn't get anything! I'm shocked!!! I may or may not have mumbled the words why is this so hard? I'm trying to trust God and I didn't even get into CofO and now I didn't get 2 scholarships either. How will I EVER pay for college. I found out that I got this scholarship less that 12...

(completely thought I posted this on Friday. I completely didn't. fail) Man, Good Friday brings on a totally new meaning this year. After just getting back from Israel less than 3 weeks ago, I have a newer, much deeper appreciation, for this holiday we call Easter. I was listening to this song this morning and it was absolutely perfect. I'd encourage you if you have a chance to listen to this song by Leeland: Via Dolorosa. It's one of my very favorites! On other notes, I have some super fun...

Friday AM: finished packing, ate a quick breakfast, and joined up with Emily Voth to drive the 2 hours to NWA airport. Our flight was at 12:15. We arrived about 10am. There we also met up with Malachi and Morgan, the other two seniors that would be coming from Missouri. will also say, that in NWA I got my first ever pat-down. It was probably some of the more awkward 30 seconds segments of my life. It was all because of my Miss Me's with the bedazzled butt. Whatever. We went through so much...

Neely and Amber to show my favorite things about Spring! Spring is by far my FAVORITE season! My color crush this spring is: Coral! I love my Chacos. I'm heading to the park today with a friend and I can't wait to do some hiking and wading in the creek. Chacos are perfect for that! I love weather that looks like this! I love spring scarves. Remember my post here? If you need some handy dandy ways to tie scarves this is your post!! I love this tweet from my friend Addie last night! I know...

Yallah Yetties. You are probably wondering what in the world that means.Yallah is a term used in Israel by shepherds to get their sheep moving and going in the right direction. Our guide, Nadav would yell Yallah Yallah to get us moving. and Yetties, I'm not sure where exactly that came from but it stuck the whole week. There were 12 high school seniors that went, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson (Papa Larry and Mama Kay) and Bill and Maryann Hicks. Nadav, was our Jewish guide and Muchev was our bus...

need you to go watch it. Spend a little bit of your time today and watch this video. I had no clue who this man was or the extent of what is really going on. Please watch this and get involved. It only takes 30 minutes. For those of you who don't know, this video is about Joseph Kony, the #1 wanted man on the International Criminal Court list. He is the leader of the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army) in Uganda. He kidnaps small children and uses the girls for sex slaves and the boys for child...

a couple multiple times! (In 4 days mind you) I realized that I had never written a post on how I have the incredible opportunity to be going on this trip. This post might be rather long, but I want to make sure that I write down all the details so I remember them in several years. I also want to blog all about my trip when I come home. Without further ado, here we go! First of all, The Ferguson Family Foundation was started by Larry and Kay Ferguson in 2002. "It provides financial support to...

I'm going to talk about my Top 10 Essentials for Israel. Obviously this is a little bit different from a normal roadtrip/vacation in the US. I just started my packing list today. see: packing list, not actually packing. I leave in less than 3 days. Procrastination much? 1-iPod with awesomesauce music. Music is essential to life, therefore make it good awesome 2-Journal! I got this adorable journal from Target. I've already been writing in it and can't wait to fill it with pictures and notes!...

song. ~This story is incredible. It really shows how unselfish and caring people can be. This couple totally put their needs aside and were able to help numerous others because of their selfless actions. ~My friend Hayely, that I work with, did "My week in Tweets" #1. I'm dying laughing from this video. Seriously go watch it and follow her on Twitter. ~Did you wish Justin Bieber a happy birthday yesterday? ~AP, from I Love You More than Carrots talked about finding balance. This hit home for...
