You know that dream in your heart that not many people know about?
That dream you hold close but are afraid it will never come true? That dream God handed you but you aren't sure what to do with it? Don't ever, ever give up on that dream. Today I searched my name on Amazon and it brought up three book titles. Today I held three books in my hands with the author name being "Isabella D. Morganthal." Today I took a selfie holding up a brand new book I dreamed of for three years. Tonight I am here to tell you....dreams come true when God is in the center. I'm here to tell you I've dreamed about this moment for ten years, over half my life. Being an author was my life dream. And if you would've told me I'd be here ten years ago, the author of three books, I never would've believed you. But here I am. And it's all because of Him. So let me tell you, when God is in the center of your dreams, He gives them back to you in a more beautiful way than you thought possible. He makes them amazing, because He gave them to you to start with. So never give up on your dreams. Place them in His hands. It will be incredible. I promise ♥ To God be the glory!

Hey Jordan, I don't have a blog or anything, but I enjoy reading blogs, writing article for Christian magazines (you may have read some of them maybe), I have a pet dog, I love to listen to Christian music, I love reading my Bible, and a lot of other things! What do you enjoy?
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:00:34 pm
That is so cool, Olivia! Nice to "meet" you. I like the play the flute, the piano and sing. I also LOVE school...which is a little weird, I'll admit. :-) Praying, too. I LOOOOOOOVE praying.
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:01:35 pm
*whispers* she's like me, I loved school too xD
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:02:06 pm
How wonderful you love to pray! Are you homeschooled? I am! Do you like to bake/ cook? I really do, especially muffins! Do you have a blog?
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:03:08 pm
Ha-ha, Bella! You love school? But you are graduated, LOL! I enjoy school too, especially History! I LOVE History! :D
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:04:36 pm
Yes, it is nice to be graduated but I did love school when I was in it :) Oh my word, history was my favorite!!!!
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:07:06 pm
Oh my! We must be more alike than we know! :D :D:D So cool that History was your favorite too! Did you like Astronomy? I like it pretty well, but it's not my fav! LOL! :D
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:10:13 pm
Am I homeschooled? Now that question has a confusing answer...Yes, I technically am, but right now I am going to a "technical school" for nursing, and that is full time. In the spring I will go back to being home schooled. Does that make sense? :-)
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:11:32 pm
Okay! That makes total sense! Do you want to become a nurse?
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:15:07 pm
Yes, I do! I want to be a labor and delivery nurse. How about you? Do you know what you want to do? Yes, I do like to cook, but I don't do it that often. No, I don't have a blog. I don't know if there is anything that happens in my life that people would want to read. :-) Maybe I'll have to try it sometime, though. :-)
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:16:29 pm
Jordan, I'd read it! ;)
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:16:42 pm
Neato! So, you want to be a "doula"? Yes, there are a few things I want to do, I want to be a missionary to Nigeria, get married, and have tons of children! But, more sooner goals I have are starting a blog! :D
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:19:03 pm
Oh, my goodness! I want to do the same thing! Be a missionary labor and delivery nurse, get married, and have a lot of kids!
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:20:34 pm
How neat!! Where do you want to be a missionary at?
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:24:52 pm
Thank you, too. :-) I want to be a missionary in Costa Rica. I went on a missions trips there once and I left my heart there. Yes, I do like having pen pals and email pals! Do you?
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:27:52 pm
Wow!! You've been on mission trip(s) to Costa Rica!!?? How AWESOME!!! My Dad went on a mission trip to Costa Rica about 10 or 12 or so years ago!!
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:28:52 pm
Oops, I just saw that you said you do. Sorry. :-) I suppose we can't talk here forever. Would you like to be email pals?
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:30:00 pm
Sure, I'd love to! I don't want to say my email on here, so just email Bella and tell her that we're going to be email pals, and she'll give you my address! I can't wait to hear from you!! :D
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:31:02 pm
Sure! (I keep forgetting to refresh the page so I don't see your replies) Would you prefer email, or "snail mail", I guess it's called?
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:33:04 pm
Okay, will do! It was nice to meet you! Have a great night.
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:33:12 pm
We can do both!! I love both! When you email Bella, just ask her for both my address and email! When I get it, I'll write you! Or you could write me first, either way! What do you think?
Jordan Noll
10/30/2016 07:36:18 pm
Sounds good! I just texted her to ask her. You should be hearing from me soon!
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:37:10 pm

Hi Jordon! I wanted to just quickly introduce myself to you, even though I couldn't make it to the party. My name is Grace, and Bella and I have been friends for a few years after I subscribed to her magazine. I saw above that you enjoy flute, piano, and singing! I am passionate about all three of those, and my heart is in music, especially piano! <3 I also Bible quiz, which is different from Bible Bee, but it is still a Bible studying/memorization competition :) On average I memorize maybe 1 1/2 chapters a month (August - February). I just wanted to say, congratulations on making Nationals!! You don't know how excited Bella was for you... she messaged me after the rankings were released, to let me know, and she was seriously so thrilled and used a lot of exclamation points ;)
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:12:21 pm
Did you enjoy Bella and my song for you Beth?
Reya
10/30/2016 07:13:12 pm
Your the best, sis!!!!
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:13:38 pm
Okay, so a quick comment because she might see this later ;) If not I'll have her look xD
Olivia Bell
10/30/2016 07:14:33 pm
How sweet! That is wonderful, Bella! :D
Reya
10/30/2016 07:16:03 pm
This is so sweet!!!!!
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:18:11 pm
Hmm, not sure if that comment went through. I said thanks Reya and Livy :)
Reya
10/30/2016 07:20:35 pm
Your welcome Bella!!
Bella Morganthal
10/30/2016 07:24:31 pm
Girls, thank you SO much for coming! I wrote a closing post and just uploaded it :) I have to head out and prepare for my facebook live, but it's been a pleasure having you all here! If you're enjoying chatting, feel free to keep doing so! :) Comments are closed.
