request for prayer...reuben has a stomach bug right now, and he's not too happy, so if you all could pray that he gets better soon, that would be awesome! :)
and also prayer for school...my whole family is starting tomorrow (i know, it feels like just yesterday we were getting out of school...), so if you could pray that this year goes smoothly, and my siblings cooperate and work hard at all their subjects and that my mom doesn't get too stressed out, that would be awesome too!
and also prayer for school for me....if you know me, you probably know my situation, but i haven't written about it on here yet, so i guess i will now! well, i've been homeschooled for my whole life (except for first grade), and so at the end of the last school, my parents were looking into our options for school this year. my mom said that i wouldn't be able to continue be totally homeschooled, because she didn't think that she would be able to keep up with me in some of my subjects (mostly math), so we were exploring our options. basically, our options were, stay at home, but take some classes somewhere else (like online, at the local college, at our local high school, or a tutoring program), go to a public school (the one in our city isn't too great), or go to a private school (which is really expensive, and we couldn't really afford). so, basically what we did was, they had an entrance exam at the private school we were looking at, and my mom basically was like, well why not try it, we have nothing to lose, right?? so, she told me all this the day before the test, but anyways, i took the entrance exam, and my scores were pretty high, so i was invited to take the headmaster's exam. the highest scorer in the headmaster's exam gets the headmaster's scholarship which is a full ride for all the years you go to school there. so my mom said that basically the only way we could go there was if i got the headmaster's scholarship. and, guess what? God is awesome, and He always provides!! i got the scholarship, and now i'm going to school there!! it's going to be pretty crazy, but God's awesome! so, now all i have to do to keep the scholarship is maintain a b average, participate regularly in school activities and add to the community (or something along those lines!). so, that's my story, i'll keep you updated on what's going on in my life and how God is working! thanks to all of you who have been praying with my family and i from the start! you all rock! :)

No, Tori, YOU ROCK!
And, I made a special entry in my rant on freedom of education pertaining to YOU.
God IS awesome, and the fact that you know His plan for you is to be at this school is awesome, too. Your future is exciting. Have FUN, I say!
Tori, have a great time in school this year. :)
Ditto to that
