August 5

Today was a very special day, my baby brother got baptized. 2 years ago today, my sister and I were baptized. I remember the night my youth pastor came to get me and told me the good news I have seen my brother change, he still has a ways to go, but Im so glad he is now on the right path. :)
At my brothers celebration after church, my dad did a surprise vow renewal for my mom, I was able to keep the secret, and was so blessed  I could be there to be a part of it! 
Today I also got to go bowling with a group of friends from church, it was so much fun.
even though we all sucked at it ;)
Tomorrow I start pre-camp. Which is marching band at my high school everyday from 9-4.
Learning all the basics and techniques we will need for band camp, which I will be leaving for on Sunday.
 So that is all for now, I need to rest up.
I am still in the process of writing all about summer camp. Its just a long entry.(:

Summer.

So it's August, and last night I was thinking of all the things I have done in the past two months. Well I have done a lot, lots of traveling haha. June, started out the summer just relaxing at home, then July 1st, I headed out on a big white bus with people form my youth group to Logan, West Virgina! This was not my first missions trip, but it was different from all the other ones I had ever been on. When we arrived, we couldn't drive our bus through town, because our bus was so big and the town was so small. We were staying at a church/school, that the name is slipping me right now. We were staying in classrooms, full of bunks, and air conditioned! (:  The weather for that week was ridiculously hot! and the week before we came, a huge storm had come through and wrecked a lot of things, and lots of our activities had gotten changed because of the loss of power. But we all made the best of it, it was awesome, I got to work with a work site crew, working on a wheelchair ramp for a lady named Connie.  It was out of my comfort zone, working with hammers and saws but the experience was amazing! Seeing God work in so many places that week was just amazing, he really broke my heart, for what breaks his. I was able to get a whole new insight on life, I realized how much I have, and how much I get to have. It really made me more thankful for all the simple things like showers and air conditioning. West Virgina was an overall amazing experience, and Im so blessed I was able to go on that trip! After I got home, I did laundry, re-packed and headed off to Canada to spend a week with my cousin at my grandmas house. We always get spoiled and that usually messes with my stomach ;P

That was a great week, relaxing, spending time talking and lots and lots of swimming! This summer is especially bittersweet for me, because it is my 'last' of things I have done for a while. Hopefully December I will joining  the job hunters world, and get a temporary job for a couple months. I also went to Teen classic summer camp, but I have decided that deserves its own post, because I have so much to share about those couple of days! (: Stay tuned!

Im back

Well I think this is like the third time I have tried to start a blog. I know everyone is hooked on facebook and twitter now a days, but they are becoming more of a problem then a "place to share".
This summer, I have changed so much. I want to start this blog as a place for me to share my thoughts, my prayers, my stories, and know that whoever is taking the time to read it really cares about me and has a slight interest in what I have to share. This is a not a blog where I am just going to complain about everything, or anything like that. As for right now, the blog has "no name" because at the moment I cant think of anything, haha.
Well to start off, I am going to be a SENIOR. crazy. and I am just starting  my last season of marching band, which means, my summer is now over. BUT I love marching band so so so much, people dont understand how much work it actually is. I am really trying to start this school year off right, staying strong in my walk with God and being a light in this dark world. That is my daily prayer, to not fall into sin of this broken world, but to stand by God, never back down and live completely for Him! I am honestly going to try and post at least once a day, and maybe this will help me with my facebook addiction problem -_-
So here I am, embarking on another adventure. Will you buckle up and join me for my ride?
