Wow, it has really been ages since I wrote on this blog! I've been re-reading some of these posts, and ...wow... yep, that about sums it up!
I've been mulling around some ideas and I figured it was time to resurrect this blog. I was going to start another one, but why leave this one?? Hopefully I will be able to jump start my writing again. We'll see!!

My VW Beetle Complaint
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in regards to your cute, adorable, sweet, and innocent-looking Beetle…or “Bug” as it is known as.
I am writing this letter to request an immediate end to the production of said cars as they are hazardous to the health of anyone near them. My therapist recommended that I begin by filing this complaint before any further legal action is taken.
Dear W.H.M.C., I’m sure you don’t understand my predicament, but I assure you, you do not want to be in my shoes. You see, I have an undiagnosed condition that could best be described as uncontrollable violent streaks brought on by the sight of one particular vehicle. The VW Beetle. Color, year, convertible or not. Same result.
I am sure I am not alone in this condition. Let me describe it to you. Whenever I see a VW “Bug”, driving by, passing me, sitting in a parking lot, or trying to hide behind an unsuspecting object, I MUST reach out and touch someone. Very hard. Very, very hard. This uncontrollable action is most often associated with five words, vocalized at the top of my lungs, thereby damaging any ear drums within the immediate area. The words, you may be familiar with them, are, “Punch bug, no punch back!”
What some see as a childish prank, to me, is a stark, brutal reality. Many friendships have been marred by bruising on the upper arms of the unsuspecting victim. Sometimes I miss the arm and must “Punch bug” elsewhere.
I realize that the V.W. Beetle is a popular little car, but in the interest of the safety of Americans everywhere, I must repeat my appeal for the halt of the production of these violence-inducing cars.
This Tourette’s-like syndrome has no known cure, and instead of lessening with age, it seems to have increased four-fold. Among the victims of this curse are: My husband, my mother, my best friends, my mother-in-law, my brother-in-law, and occasionally random strangers. That is where the problems began. “Punch bugging” family is one thing, but when it is a total stranger…well, they like to label that as Assault and Battery.
With the money I could be saving from the court costs, lawyer fees, doctor’s fees, etc, I could have bought ten of your “cute” little cars. But that would only make more trouble.
Please, I beg of you, please stop making these nightmarish little cars!
Sincerely,
Bethany J. S.
PS. My fist and countless arms thank you in advance.

And They Lived Happily Ever After...
OK, in the blank spaces between the last post and this one, alot has happened. And I do mean ALOT!!
Hmm, let's see, what was the biggest thing?? ...Oh yeah, my last name got changed!! May I be introduced to you now, Hi, my name is Bethany Joy Sehorne. I live in Lancaster, SC. Life was hectic between June and now.
July 9, 2010, my family travelled to Swallow Falls, MD, to camp overnight with Ms. Vickie and Matt. We went hiking to the top of a waterfall while Dad went to a landing so he could get pictures of us. 
There were quite a few people down below us swimming and jumping into the pool below the waterfall. I turned to look and them and when I turned back to Matt he was on his knee!!
From my face, I'm sure you can see my surprise!
Anyway, it was a whirlwind after that, we planned the wedding for November 20, 2010, and everything seems to blur from there!
Long story short, the wedding went beautifully, better than I could have hoped. I wrote a song to sing at the wedding and Im hoping to get it copyrighted and post here.
Tomorrow I start my part time nanny job. I'm excited!!! I'll try to right more later.

Back to Blogging...I hope
Ok, so this past month has been a whirlwind of traveling and activities. My oldest brother, Scott, is now happily wed to Amber, and they are settling into married life in Florida.
Katie and I travelled down to South Carolina the Wednesday before the wedding to visit with Matt and his family. Thursday night, Matt, Katie, and I, left for Florida after church. We arrived very early Friday morning in enough time to get a little sleep time and then it was preparation for the rehearsal and wedding.
Everything went well and the wedding was on a beautiful Saturday morning. I think I may have been just as nervous as the bride. I had this fear of tumbling down the aisle because of my heels. However, since I was walking with Matt, he assured me that he would never let that happen! True to his word, tumbling did NOT occur...thankfully!
After the wedding and reception, the three of us left for South Carolina again to spend some more quality time together. Katie had to fly back Monday morning, but the Lord worked it out so I could stay until this past Saturday morning.
Speaking of Saturday, I am now 20 years old! I spent the day driving, unpacking the car, sleeping, and then working. I'm a big kid now!! It was definitely a birthday to remember as I drove from Beckley, W.V. with my convertible top down, and, as a result, received a fantastic burn on my arms!
Anyway, I've slept most of today, well yesterday now, away, and therefore, am not very sleepy yet. But, I guess I should mention, today is Matt and my 10 month courting anniversary!! Gd has been so good, and it seems hard to believe that it's been that long!! I feel blessed to be loved by this man that God has given to me! :-)

Wingmen Needed
In Exodus 17, the Bible records a battle. The Israelites were camped in the valley of Reph'idim, and Am'alek fought with Israel.
Ex 17:9 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Ex 17:10 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Ex 17:11 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Ex 17:12 But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
The end of this story holds Israel in the winning position, all because of the help of those two men, Aaron and Hur. When Moses dropped his hands, Amalek began winning, when his arms were raised, Israel won. Had it not been that Aaron and Hur stood their beside their leader, strengthened him, and encouraged him, that story may have turned out a little differently.
In so many churches across our nation, there are battles being fought. Whether they be emotional, physical, or spiritual, every church seems to have them. The devil has an in-road to almost every church, and it could be through anything. Little things, big things, it really doesn't matter. Wherever he can find an opening, he climbs in.
There is a great need today for more Aarons and Hurs to step forward. To stand beside their pastors, their leaders, and to hold them up. To lift them up in prayer, to encourage them to keep on serving the Lord. We need more people who are willing to lay aside their own differences and say, "You know what? I may not agree with every little thing he says, but this man is God's man, and he is my pastor. I'm going to put aside my differences and trust God to work on my heart and sort everything out."
People of God, brothers and sisters in the Lord, stand by your pastors!! Love them, pray for them, honor them, but most of all, encourage them! Too many good men of God have gotten discouraged and quit the ministry...a tragedy that could have been prevented had God's people just lifted him up! Good men of God are becoming even more scarce as the end times draw near. Ask yourselves, can you really afford to let your pastor down??
This is dedicated to all the pastors I personally know, my pastor, Charles Harvey, Jr., Bro, Doug Sehorne, Bro. Johnny Jones, Bro. Richard Ulery, Bro. Tony Jones, Bro. Joey Curado, Bro. Jason Williams, Bro. Jay Geisler, Jr., Bro. Andy Wells, Bro. Doug Thompson, and Bro. Bruce Crump. You are all in my prayers.

Back To Writing
OK, the problem has been fixed, thank you!
Now, on to bigger and better things.
You may have noticed the silence for the past...well, months. Things have gotten busy, as life has a way of doing. God has been good to me, and I'm so thankful for everything He has done.
I had the opportunity to spend three and a half weeks in South Carolina with Matt and his family. My mom and I drove down and she was able to stay with some friends of hers in Salley, S.C. It was such a blessing to be able to feel at home there, and home is truly where the heart is. We are able to do so many things together...and I even managed to give myself a concussion. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I AM a klutz! Let's just say it involved a baseball bat...and leave it at that, O.K.?
I managed to make it through almost the entire trip without hurting myself too badly, but that last week....it was dangerous. I narrowly avoided frostbitten toes from the ocean, survived the attack of the tick, and barely made it out alive from the ball field. But before that, I played paintball, went kayaking, hiking, shopping (which IS dangerous), all this without so much as a scratch--except for a few bruises from the paintballs. Thank you Jerry!
But anyway, it was so very hard to have to say goodbye, but I know, one of these days we will never have to say goodbye again. One of these days....

Help?
As you may have noticed, I'm having trouble with "undefined" popping up at the beginning of my posts. Does anyone know a way I can fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Valentines Day photos
Here are the Sweetheart Banquet pictures of me and Matt as I promised.
Matt is the one who bought me the dress...picked it out and everything! I thank God for such a wonderful sweetheart!
Please keep us in your prayers. We are learning to lean on God...and wait on His time. For those of you who've been through this before, you know it's not always easy!

Valentines Day
Well, Lord willing, this year I will be able to spend Valentines Day with Matt!! He's driving up today from S.C., so please pray for his safety with all this snow! I'll try to write more after he leaves, but right now, we aren't even talking about leaving...BAD word! Haha. I'll write more soon. Oh, and I'll post pictures from the Sweetheart Banquet too! That will be tomorrow night.
