The Beauty of Mending

I'm sorry I keep updating so much, BUT... I have some very beautiful news!..... 
My father and I have had a rough few years and we didn't talk hardly ever, when we did it seemed to get well or it was absolutely the opposite, for whatever reason, nothing got better. Recently my grandparents and I took a trip to San Antonio and we met with my dad and mom [step] oh, and my new little siblings. Things looked great then declined again. I just talked to him and I really feel like this time it'll change. I am going to call him more and I'm supposed to see him this summer. Please pray that this is the change. I love my dad and I REALLY miss him. I've had some great support from my friends and family but I still miss him, you know? Anyways, please pray and I will update on the situation. 
I AM SO EXCITED!!! 

Babies

These adorable little ones are my nieces and nephew. I love them so so much but it really scares me about how they're lives will turn out. Growing up in my home town gives me knowledge that there is SO MANY terrible influences. I'm so afraid! I love them so much! It makes me wonder how I'd be able to handle thinking of my own kid's futures. I really pray that they have a very blessed life.

Nerves!

Well today, I have to do something I'm not very great at.... talk on a STAGE in front of my whole youth group!!! It's a bit nerve wracking! I'm telling my testimony, which I'm working on writing in a journal. I know this is something God wants me to do before they separate the high schoolers and middle schoolers but I am still freaking out just a little. Chris, my best friend/boy friend will be there and I know he loves hearing my testimony... but it just makes me a wee bit more anxious.... Pray for me!!

My goodness!

Okay, well today these two girls got in a fight at school. One is in my drivers ed. class and talks back to the teacher all the time, so it's expected. I payed my friend, Brantley, to buy me some weird chip pretzel buffalo flavored things from the store. I wonder why food is so much more appealing at school...... I'm so sick of my geometry teacher. He is the most nit picky teacher ever! gosh! seriously!! 

Kardashian!

I absolutely love her style! She is so cute!

Ready to move on

My name is Ava Thomaston, I'm a high schooler who cannot wait to graduate, no matter how many times adults tell me I'll miss it. I struggle with telling people about Christ day to day since high school is so filled with gossip and drama. I have many views on life and the events that take place in it. All I know for sure is that my Lord is REAL, He died for ME and YOU and He loves us no matter what.
