well midshipman 4th class Gonzalez is doing well. He survived the 6 weeks of Plebe summer and came through with flying colors (litterally). He lost somewhere around 10 pounds, and thats 10 pounds that he DIDN'T have to lose. but he'll be okay. he got sick on "I-day plus six" (6 days after he got there) and he was sick until about a week ago, so 8 weeks total! but he said he is feeling much better but still VERY tired. He has been placed in a high position of leadership in his platoon. i can't remember exactly what its called, but its something like 4th class company commander. but i'm not sure, so don't quote me.

the academic year started this monday and so far that has been going well. we haven't actually talked since it started but he sent a 2 line email. he has his email up and running and he has his phone every now and then. i think they confiscated his phone until he finished making a senior a bulliten board, but he should get it back soon. i'm sure, knowing coleman, that it will NEVER be on except for the weekends, maybe when he's on liberty.

please keep him in your prayers. he has met a couple of christian guys and they are sticking together and encouraging one another. so please keep all of them in your prayers. when i talked to some of them they said that so far the biggest witness that they've had was just their language. and people have asked them why they don't cuss. But Coleman said it is very hard to stay focused on eternity when you are surrounded by those that are only focused on themselves. so please keep him and his friends in your prayers!

thanks

GO NAVY, BEAT ARMY!!

Induction day... he reported at 6am and they were all kinda shocked. he didn't look too good that day. we only got to see him for like 10 minutes.

first time i saw him in 6 weeks!!! he looked GREAT

Parents Weekend. we had him all day that day and part of sunday. this was at the mall.. i know... COLEMAN, my brother, wanted to go to the mall!

right before we dropped him back off... man, that was hard for me!

i don't know where to begin... i guess it doesn't really matter though cause nobody ever reads these things anymore anyway... and no one ever read the long ones in the beginning...

my big brother has 2 more nights to spend in this house before he grows up and moves away. (for those of you that don't know, Coleman has been accepted to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis(sp), Maryland) Induction day is June 28th. He reports at 6:30am. i am so proud of him, i can hardly even express it. i find myself thinking back to all the stupid things we used to do as kids. i regret not spending more time with him this year. i wish there was a way that i could just tell him that i love him and i'll always be his adoring little sister. even though we don't always get along and even though he is so "coleman" sometimes that its embarrasing, i love that boy to death. i know that the USNA is going to be perfect for him, but i'm going to miss him. i don't really find myself worried for his saftey, yet, but more just wishing i had been a better little sister, and knowing that i'm going to miss him, but most of all i have an overwhelming pride. you might see me wearing blue and gold more!! (the prideful colors of the USNA...)

GO NAVY...BEAT ARMY!!!

we are leaving wednesday to take him to report and we get back on the 1st. i start working at camp on the 2nd. so please keep me in your prayers. mostly for strength. physical strength and energy to make it sleep deprived for a month of HIGH energy living. spiritual strength so that i will be an example to the kidos that i will be around. i want to impact lives this summer, but i know full well that without the lord i won't make a positive impact! pray that i will allow the lord to work on my heart. there are a lot of changes going on in my life and so far i don't like ANY of them. i know that God is preparing me and he wants to be my life-line, i just have to open up my hard heart and let him soften and prune it to grow in his way.

i will be at camp for 5 weeks and i cannot even begin to tell you how encouraging it is to get mail. being so far away from everything its easy to feel like you are on another planet and everyone has forgotten about you. but when i get mail it is amazing...SOOOOO heres the challenge... WRITE ME LETTERS, SEND ME PACKAGES!!! even if the letter is just a note to tell me that you hate writing letters!

keep my family in your prayers as coleman is going away (once he leaves he is pretty much gone for good) and for me and the other staff at camp this summer

***if you would like to get email updates from coleman at the USNA we can forward emails to you, just send me your email address... if not, then don't

Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days; let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice, and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take my lips, and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect, and use every power as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will, and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own; it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for Thee.

sometimes when you hold onto life so tight and try to control it all on your own, its hard to let God have it all back... That Hymn, Take my life, is what i need to be able to say, but right now i'm scared to pray that he will take my life out of my hands. not that i can run it better than he can, but that i'm scared to see what he will do!

****

In other news, basketball is FINALLY almost over! we have our first playoff game tommorrow, and we'll see how that goes.

life is kinda confusing right now. i know what I want to happen and how I want it to work out, but i'm not sure what GOD wants to happen and how God wants to work it out.

sometimes its so easy to get all caught up in little things in life and let them take over, when really all that matters is Christ, and how you can serve him. not all the little petty things that bother me, like school, basketball, and all the other stuff.

I hope life is going well for everyone else right now. i feel like i haven't talked to some of my very favorite people in sOOO long, but hopefully life is about to slow down, so maybe i'll be able to see/talk to some of you guys!

Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!

*******so.... my life... the short version..

hymns are beautiful

life is changing, but still good

God is not changing... he is still wonderful and amazing and good!
