Seasons Of Change

Nothing ever stays the same, that's the only thing that won't change. You have to grow up. There are descions you have to make, and experiences you have to go through. Ever life has seasons of change and lately I have felt them blowing my way.
For a while now I have been considering going to running start my junior year (next year)but after some prayer and conversations with wise people. We felt like that door was shutting. So now I am happy to say that I am looking forward to another two years at our co -open and of homeschooling.
Another adventure I have been up to is one lots of other teens have done as a well, braces! I have had them for almost a year now and have another year to go, but I have hit a point in my treatment were I need to have some oral surgery done to remove some teeth for space. Thankful for the advances in dentistry and also praying for peace and healing during this wonderful upcoming adventure.
Change isn't all bad however, there are fun parts to growing up, like drivers Ed and turning 16 and so many other rides of passage. But as I face these different challenges I am continually thankful for God's neverending wisdom, peace, comfort, joy, and guidence. He is truly good all the time.

The One Where I Graduate

Hey, Everyone! This girl did the thing, she got her diploma. Not without the help of some dear people. My teachers are incredible through the last few years at the co-op I have worked with me and taught me so many valuable and cherished lessons. I have been blessed with a loving and hard-working Mother who has spent countless hours preparing and teaching lessons. She has spent time discussing, researching and praying over the best direction she needed to take with my education. My parents have encouraged me through any adventure I chose to embark on. They never let me believe I couldn't achieve whatever I set out to do. They taught me that hard work would always be rewarding, to always do best, and by example, they taught me to put others first and give when I can. My brother James is truly the best brother in the world. He is my sidekick in life and we have had countless adventures together. He has shown me to accept whatever happens and be happy at the moment. He has taug...

The One With All The Updates

Erika and Madame Blueberry The last few months have been crazy busy, full of adventures and the like. It would take forever to tell you everything that has happened, but I will attempt an overview. Since April I was a stage manager to an amazing show called The Lonesome West . I learned so much from the actors I worked with and the experience to produce theatre in the back of a records shop. Soon after the show closed I took my finals, loaded up my Cadillac (named Madame Blueberry) and left Ellensburg for the summer. I only had a few days to unload my college boxes and reload Madame Blueberry for my summer job. Camp Lutherhaven Camp Lutherhaven! What an incredible, God arranged summer. There were days I wondered if I was up for the job, but the people I met and the experiences we shared were irreplaceable. When I was at college I made a comment to my mom that all I had to focus and worry about was me and how easy it was to only be concerned about myself...

What Has Kept Erika From Blogging???

After the first night of shows I was so close to getting February's post in February. I sat down to write this so many times, but with a million papers to write for school the idea of writing more at the end of the day seems absolutely impossible. Which is depressing because I love writing. However, the homework has slowed down, relatively, I mean finals are around the corner. Anyway, I did want to update you on a few awesome things that have been happening in my life. Artsy photo that I took in the dressing room before the show. First Distracted, the first CWU show I was apart of, went up in January. It went really well I had such an amazing, supportive cast, director, and crew. My amazing, wonderful, family and some family friends came to see me. It was an incredible experience and the topic of the show was one that reached a ton of people. I learned to play a character that was completely opposite of who I am and different from anyone I know which was learning exp...
