A quick Update.

My father is officially home on R&R! It was so wonderful seeing him again.... You have no Idea.

I urge you, my friends, to have a good relationship with your parents. Every day is a gift you have been given, so make the most of it. To make the most of life, you need relationships... and Family should be the strongest bond you have on Earth. =]

I love you guys!!!

School starts soon!

Verses to dwell on....

1 Timothy 4:12 ”Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

2 Timothy 2:22 ”So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”

James 3:13-18 ”Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom… [T]he wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

Titus 3:1-11 ”Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people… I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works. These things are excellent and profitable for people. But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him.”

Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

My God is Mighty to Save...

1 Timothy 4:12 ”Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.”

Age is a number. Why do we let that hinder God's will for our life? Youth, let no one look down on you because you are young. Instead, be an example... Be a light for Christ.

You are the ones that are going to be running the churches in just a few years... Don't believe the lies you are told. You ARE important to the ministry. You can make a difference. You can start learning more and digging into the Word... You can decide to follow Christ and give yourself 100% to Him.

Stop believing in the lies you are told!!!!

Set yourselves apart from this world and live for GOD! Learn what your spiritual gifts are and be a part of Christ's body!!!

I am so sick and tired of youth saying they can't do anything. THAT IS SO NOT TRUE. We are young! We are strong! We have so much technology that makes it easier to reach out to others... Yet, are we furthering God's kingdom??? Are we giving our all?

This is something to think about... I realize I still need to apply all of this to my life. I am not perfect... But, I am striving to become more like Christ. I hope you will join me.

Pray and try to reach our generation... Pray and try to reach all generations...

Do realize... We will one day be the leaders of this nation. We will one day be the pastors and missionaries from this nation.

Encourage one and other and pray for one another, for we are all running a hard race... But let me tell you, it will be worth it in the end.

Solo Deo Gloria,

Megan

Short Update.

I am so glad it is summer... Seriously, I have NEVER missed a summer so much. Last year was so rushed with the move, unpacking, visiting family, and everything... and I never got a chance to enjoy MY summer -even though I haven't a clue what MY personal summer would look like. Don't get me wrong I loved last summer, but again it was rushed.

So, I am in a home. No more moving around for me -unless I decide to do so... No more packing or unpacking... This is it. I realized that this is going to be my last "Military style" year -unless my parents are staying in Clarksville longer, then I will stay with them. I am not quite sure what to think or make of it... Of course after this last year of high school, I will remain a full time student which means I get to keep my I.D. until I am... 21? Is that right? (Tyler or anyone else want to clarify?) So I can still go on post and use all the wonderful places such as: the commissary, the PX, and the Army hospital. (Haha, not sure if I really want to use thee Army hospital!) But... I don't know...

Anyways....

So I am guessing this summer will be FULL of scholarship applications, studying for the ACT, cleaning... And some fun events such as seeing my Daddy, going on vacation, visiting family, swimming, friends, and I am sure there are other things I am forgetting... But, you get the point.

I still can't believe where all the time has gone...

Well, I am off to continue cleaning my room. I have three years of school papers to go through and some unpacked boxes from moving that I haven't bothered with. Most of the things in the boxes are from when I was 9, 10, and 11... So, I don't know what to do with it. =/ Then I have to hang up a bunch of clothing and clean out my bathroom.

Fun.

You guys have a wonderful rest of the week and I want to know what YOU all are doing for this summer. Comment or Message me about that to!

Gooddddd bye!

It's been awhile...

I must admit I am looking forward to another day off school -Good Friday!

My Spring Break was very unproductive. I either worked, studied, or hung around at home.... Lame.

But, that's okay.

Summer is coming!

Anyways, I am at Anna's house for a little while -okay, more like over a week. I am stoked! I get to live on my own... With two of the best doggies in the world... I have the house to MYSELF with no one crying, whining, or complaining... YES! (I was referring to my brothers... Haha, I love them!) Nahh, it's be fun... But, loney at the same time.

Enjoy your break and have a blessed Easter!

Spring break officially started at 5:30pm on Friday night -and I am STOKED! You have no clue how happy I am to have a WEEK of freedom from the bondage of High school! Personally, I feel education is very important... BUT, the way high school is taught these days and all the memorization... It is so STUPID! School is about learning, not memorization and goofing-off-time.
Also, I think you should be able to study what you want in high school. For example: I could care less about mathematics. I am never becoming a math teacher. Teach me the basics and the important things I need to know... Why do we have to cover useless things?

So, end of rant. :))

Sorry!

I hope to post a blog up here sometime soon.

Just know I haven't forgotten ya'll! Sorry I have been gone so long!

Today is the start of my college spring break! I still got up at seven to get ready.... It was not until I was leaving that my Mom told me to check the calender.

Have a nice day!

Financial Peace...

Today at "Financial Peace" we learned about saving and how everyone should have $500-$1000+ for an emergency fund. Other then paying off my $633.00 in debt, I plan on trying to put away much of my check each month -more then a hundred. Hopefully I can have a million dollars before I am 42... Hahaha

Much Better

Things are going much better, for me. But, each member of our family seems to still have some problems -not family related problems though.

Yesterday, I went out to enjoy some time with my friends -which reminds me, I really need to get out more often. Then I went to work for a little over six hours... The kids were not too bad. :D

Today I am going to Financial Peace. It's never too late or too early to learn how to spend.

So, I'm off to take a shower and then to clean the inside of my car. (I finally got it back yesterday!!)

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Much Love,
Megan

It's a brand new day!

Thursdays are wonderful... Just two more days until the weekend and there is still plenty of time to just "finish" the week!

So, I am just babysitting my brother for a little while... Watching "What Not To Wear".

I have four hours until school.

Sorry for the randomness and the not-so-organized post. Just wanted to post while I am happy, because yesterday just wasn't good. Was not good at all...

MUCH LOVE!!!

I will Praise you in this storm...

So many people have no clue what I am going through in life, nor do I really want to share much of it at the moment. I realize what I am about to write is not much, but I will say it i quite challenging to keep a smile on my face and keep telling everyone how "awesome" life is at the moment with everything we're going through.

Anyways....

Today driving to my International Politics class, the car starts making a funny noise. I sounded like something in my trunk vibrating... Well, as we continue on it begins to thump. After a good 7 minutes of driving we decide to stop and check out what the noise is coming from... Low and Behold, I have a flat tire. A flat tire on one of the two tires I got last week.

In short, I waited almost an hour to have a tow truck pick me up and I missed two classes. Finally, I get it to the shop and they can't find any problems with the tire, but because I drove on it, it cracked. So now I need new back tires.

These car problems are really really getting annoying. In the past month we have had three flats.about to be flats, three + tires really really low on air, a car flooded for no reason, and so many crazy things happening inside of the car that SHOULD NOT be happening. In the past three weeks we have had not one, not two, BUT THREE CARS towed.

And while this is annoying I have some other Crazy stuff happening elsewhere... And life just seems so... blah at the moment. (Sorry about using blah, I need a better diction) And of course having Dad deployed isn't that great too.

But, I know God has a plan. I know that I need to continue praising Him during these hard times. So pray for us. Please. And, I need to keep praising God and turning to Him during these times of trouble.

Have a fantastic Wednesday! Remember, I love you all!

Blessings,
Megan

Update on Car Number Three...

Well... It turns out I have a new car! (Okay, not new... Pre-owned) It is a 2001 red Dodge Neon with a moon roof and a few other cool features! I am sooo excited!

I will be posting pictures and editing this post later, so check back!

Car number three!

I got a call for a 2001 Neon for sale and my mom is going to go take a look at it. The lady says it is a nice car with a sunroof and a few other neat things.

We'll see how everything goes and I'll update the car status.

Car number two!

I was happily searching Craigslist.com and found a Ford Contour (1998) for $650.00. The only problem it had was the control pannel no longer worked... So, my mother forced me to call the Ford dealer to find out how much it would cost to fix (Which we never figured out), before getting directions to the house.

To make a long story short, we were the second to call. My mom got the directions and we got to the home, test drove the car, and told them we would buy it. Sadly, the person that called first decided they liked it... and bought it. (We were nice and let them buy it since they called first)

:((( It was good car... But the adventure to find a car continues.

What the car guy told me... Car number One

I put an offer on the car, which was like 1/3 of the price and told him if he was "desperate" to sell it I could give him (a certain amount) cash, and he called me "fuc*** retarded". Haha, I do not blame the guy for thinking I was crazy, but I made it clear that is he was "desperate" to sell it, like he said he was, I had an offer. So... At least I tried! At least I won't regret not putting an offer on the car.

It seems like everyone is sick...

Today I haven't felt the best and it turns out I am sick and I have had a headache for the longest time... I took my Temp. and saw it was around 100... Ick. Kyle is running a fever and is not feeling good at all.

But, this is just a short update...

Take care,
Megan

Future plans

I realize I am not a senior, but I only have a year and a half left until I am graduated. I am not anxious, about graduating and embarking on my new journey, however I wonder how emotionally prepared I am to leave. I have lived away from my parents for over a month, traveled to China without my Family, and have taken short trips without my parents and family... However, this is permanent we are talking about... I am going to have to do things on my own and live by myself... Wow.

So far, my plan is to find an apartment ( I already have an offer already with a friend, which is fantastic! As long as nothing else changes I will be staying there, most likely), Continue to work, Go to Austin Peay to further my education, and... I don't know what else I am supposed to do. Thankfully I have so many awesome friends here (Adult and my age) and a wonderful church. In the end, if all else fails I have a few internships I can perhaps take, which could lead to a potential job...

Anyways, I know I am missing something, however it is too late for me to think.

Pray for me as I seek my Father's (God) direction... =)

Much love,
Megan

Needs and Wants

Oh my... I finally found the Honda Civic of my dreams, a custom and it is oh so beautiful. I have never been so in love with a car in my life and it is $3,000.00 over my poor little budget... My poor,aching broken heart....

Haha, okay... So, I may have exaggerated a bit and I really am not that upset... But, lately I have this strong desire to buy a car.... While having a car is all fine and dandy, it just occurred to me that I was and am being very selfish. (Hum, shocking eh? What a Revelation!)

I have decided that me being selfish is a learning experience of "Needs and Wants" and pretty much I do not need a car, but I do want one... Then, I got to thinking again... What about the missionaries in Mongolia? Don't they actually need a car? I really should be helping others while I can, rather then being selfish and thinking of only myself.

Lately..

The weather here has been rather depressing, but thankfully I am a very optimistic person. ;)
I have been wanting to dedicate a day to photography, but with this disappointing weather it is just not happening anytime soon, plus my mother does not really want me to go alone... So, what's a girl like me to do?

I went back to school yesterday and even though physics is not my favorite subject... I felt happy to be learning again. Education means so much to me and I feel so excited to be back. Plus, I get to socialize with my friends while on my down time here on campus... Hopefully I will remain this passionate throughout the semester...

When it comes to work my hours are being changed a bit, because of my school schedule. I am not too happy about that... But education comes before cash at the moment. I am living with my parents still -Go figure being sixteen-, so I'm covered at the moment. I just want to start saving for a few things...

Which reminds me, I need to get my license. I have my permit, have my hours... I just have not signed up for a time slot yet and I heard it is backed up three weeks before they can get anyone in... Ick. But hey! More time for me to study the laws I need to know. It's Fantastic, I know...

So, as you can see... Nothing is really going on with me. I am planning on a few trips next year... But, my mother is not convinced to let me go yet. Haha, I love it. She allows me to go to china with a Korean church by myself with no one speaking English (Yes, I spoke Korean.. But still!), but I can't go up to KY. Come on mom!!!! I really want to go to Waverly Hill Asylum to take some pictures and view the beautiful architecture of downtown. That is my other trip I want to take...

We will see... Haha

Much love to you all,
Megan Wright

Getting Back on Track.

As my wondrous winter break comes to an end, honestly I am not all that sure I am prepared to jump back into my school schedule. (I enjoyed sleeping in -which I can still do with my school schedule-, I enjoyed no homework, and no Algebra Two or Physics....) But, all is well.

Good night!
