The Season of Giving
"If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another." ~ Tenzin Gyatso
Last Saturday, December 17, Maren and I got to experience peace. As we rang bell for the Salvation Army we got to encounter many individuals that were avid donors of the Salvation Army and also those that have received support from the organization. It was enlightening to see those that would empty their pockets to donate all that they had, and those that could only give a thank you made the experience all the more meaningful. The best part of giving our time was to hear the stories that were shared. A man came up to the kettle and as he emptied the change from his pockets, he looked us in the eyes and gave a serious 'thank you', he continued to tell us how thankful he is for all the Salvation Army does, as his son goes there everyday after school. It always helps you realize what your time really means to others when you get to meet those that are directly affected by what you are doing. The peace that the Salvation Army gives families in need is amazing. I am so glad Maren and I got the opportunity to experience peace this Holiday season.

Got to Have Faith
Wow! What an experience! I am so lucky to have the support that I do, and I cannot thank my friends and family enough.
Saturday night started out with my car breaking down. Luckily I was close to a friend’s house and wasn’t stranded on the side of the road! I spent the night franticly calling people to figure out a ride to the Hopkins Little Theater in the morning. By about 1am I was in tears, contemplating pulling out of the pageant. My brother in-law was gracious enough to awake early, pick me up and drive me there. He even got me there early! And for those of you who know me, that’s quite the accomplishment!
Sunday started out slow, when we arrived the theater was still locked and we had a little bit of down time to get settled in. After a quick contestant meeting, we got things started. We had to learn walking patterns, rehearse talent and prepare for interviews. Before we knew it, it was 1:30pm and interviews were starting for the Teen contestants. After interviews it is all a blur, the rest of the day came so quick! I can honestly say this was the fastest pageant I have ever been a part of! Before I even had time to think, we were all on stage waiting for the winner to be announced. Waiting on stage is always a little frightening, but I just remind myself that it is in God’s hands, and He has a plan for us no matter what happens. I was more than honored to be announced your new Miss North Metro 2011. It was an amazing group of five other girls, and I would not have wanted the job of a judge that night!
Being crowned your new Miss North Metro reassured me that God does have a plan for us, and we can’t let obstacles stand in our way. We need only to trust in Him and He will lead the way.
