From years I don’t remember to memories I will never forget. Miss you, Casey. 11/09/1992-03/29/2011
Love. Hate.
This weather and this time of year, it just gets me every time. Dang it.
I feel so loved, and so happy. But, I feel down and upset. Not in a bad way exactly, just kind of confused. I’m totally happy, but it is about that time where something just happens. Understandable. Dumb. But I have to deal with it. I went through with it, and I have to live with it. It is just crazy to me to think that weather and a certain time of the year can make things go from TOTALLY fine to totally not, or vice versa, ha.
Love the weather. Hate the weather.

The Prayer of Faith
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is any one happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
As I read this, the line “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed,” really stuck out to me. Prayer is a big thing, something that should happen more often in my life. I pray often, but I don’t pray for others as much as a I should. I pray for my friends and family, but I always get stuck because I never know what to pray about for them. I know you don’t have to know, and you can just ask God to take care of whatever is on their hearts and He will know what that is. But, I want to begin to pray for specific things in peoples lives. Not only for my friends and family, but anyone who needs it.
I have also recently learned to look at people with my heart and not just my eyes. Therefore, don’t judge before knowing what is really going on in their lives. So, I would love to be here for anyone that needs a prayer.
I know everyone has something good, bad, exciting, horrible, etc. going on in their lives, and I would love to pray for you for any of those circumstances. At the end of this post I am going to give my e-mail address. I don’t know if anyone will, or if a lot of people will…it doesn’t matter to me, but I would love to pray for you, even if I know you VERY will or not at all, even if you think I don’t like you or if I love you. I don’t care what it is you want me to pray for, some encouragement, that things are going well and you want it to stay that way, that you are hurt and want healing, ANYTHING…I want to pray for YOU. Whoever is reading this, I want to pray for anything going on in your life. You may think this is crazy, but I would love to do it. And, I want you to know that it wouldn’t go anywhere outside of the e-mail you send me. It would stay between you and me. Promise.
If you would like me to pray for you e-mail me or facebook me.
E-mail: kararaeschreiber@hotmail.com
AND I DON’T CARE IF YOU ARE READING THIS FROM RIGHT WHEN I POSTED IT, OR FROM WHEN I POSTED IT A WEEK, A MONTH, OR A YEAR AGO…feel free to e-mail me whenever.
Thank you for reading this :)
Love you.
College departures…lame.
The first of my friends left for college last night. Some reason that was harder than I thought, ha. I’m just nervous things will be different, but at the same time I am so excited to see changes in my friends.
I love you all, and I will miss you all very much…see you soon :D

I’m on my way.
It’s official…I’m going to Cimarron, Colorado for Summer of Service and Training with YWAM. I’m letting go of everything and putting it in God’s hands. I’m so excited to go, and to just grow in my faith even more. I couldn’t be more thankful for the friends and family I have…they are all very supportive with my decision, and they all think it will be a great experience for me.
I can’t wait! :)

The place I want and hope to spend the month of July, seeking God, but only if I can just make up my mind.
Changes.
…this is weird, I’ve never been one to do something like this.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about what my life will be like in about four months. It will be such a different world for me. A part of me is so excited to set off on this new journey…but then, the other part of me is nervous. I am nervous to leave my friends.. I am scared things won’t be the same when we all come back home. I am nervous to meet new friends.. I am not a person that easily meets new people. I feel like I just met my friends I have now, and I am scared to start over. I am nervous to just be on my own. Even though I take it for granted, being at home means so much to me. But then, there is that part of me that is so excited. I am excited to be on my own, making my own decisions. I am excited to start new relationships and see how old relationships work out. And the biggest thing, I am excited to push myself to grow in my faith…on my own.
I’ve been having trouble recently to just trust that God has something out there for me. Something great. And even though I may not know what it is…He does.
God does amazing things…in amazing ways. I just wish everyone could see this.
