One person

Lately, I've been reminded why I love the Beatles so much. The most likely reason for this is all of the media that's popping up about them due to the release of The Bealtes Rock Band (which I really want).

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of John Lennon and how he fought for peace and just the person he was.

I hope this isn't taken the wrong way, but of all the people that have died, John Lennon is the one person I hope to see in heaven the most.

I pray I do.

I can't except the thought of him not being there when I get there.

It's strange but true.

Anyway.

Bye.

Thinking of starting a new blog/xanga with a daily worship/prayer/scripture verse each day.

Like with songs from the Salvation Army song book and such.

okay, so myspace has warned people multiple times not to put personal information up sooo many times. "Don't put your name, address, phone number, blah blah blah." Now they have a thing that makes it, so everytime your picture is up, below it is your full name. Even when your myspace is private it will enable people to read your full name on your friends myspace if you look at their friends. This might be a problem.

I need a job.
I'm almost convinced that line will be our national athem soon.
"Oh say can you see by the dawns early light.." will be replaced by
"My children are hungry cause I just lost my job"
I know I have no children. And I'm still in high school.
I still have moments of guilt because of those facts.
However, I can be hired cheaper, and there aren't nearly as many jobs for those in high school. The ones there are, are jobs that most people will happily turn their nose up in pride.
I'm sure there are alot of people that will grab that job asap too.

I need a job though.
Yes, I could have easily applied to camp, but my summer is insane.
So the chance of me finding a job is very low too.

I don't know.

Bye.

I'm going to be a youth pastor.

Youth Councils couldn't have been more amazing.
(No offense WUM, I like your YCs too)

The speaker seemed to have written the material specifically for the event.
The praise band was incredible.
Eric Himes made us all laugh with his challenges of knowledge followed by challenges of bravery.
And Major Andy Miller rocked.

On Saturday night I felt like I was being pulled towards considering the career of a Youth Pastor,
shrugging it off as gas I told myself I could be a youth leader and be an author or photographer during the day.
On Sunday, Holy Spirit said I needed to go to the alter and lay down my plan for my life and let God lead me.
He called me to be a youth pastor.
So I went to the mercy seat.

In all honesty, had it not been for Major Miller, I don't think I would have gone up there.
I would have sat where I was and prayed,
instead I went up there, and three or four people laid their hands on me and prayed with me.
God is awesome.

I feel like I need to go to cosmetology school too,
So I can cut hair for kids that need a hair cut,
Like the ones that have lice, I want to be able to give them a nice cut
so they can be lice free and keep their hair.
Or for the kids that simply need a hair cut.

I told a few people at youth councils how we're trying to start a daily bible study at school.
On Monday morning I woke up and looked at my phone, I had 3 new text messages.
They were sent by the guy I'm working with to start this bible study with.
He had sent them at 12.
They said he had been thinking about the bible study, and he wanted to start this week.
The power of prayer is amazing.

Please pray for us, pray that the kids that come to our bible study will learn more about God, and grow closer.
Pray that I let Holy Spirit show me what classes I need to take and what school(s) I should go to.

I'll be praying for you all.

"You know the place where nothing is real??"

VBS stuff...VBS stuff...VBS stuff...

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited.

I called the other night
And finally got ahold of you

You don't know it, but I've called you several times this week.

It's been nearly a month since we've talked.
And your half of the conversation was apathedic, lifeless.

I know you're having a hard time
But I'm not at a picnic either.

Somedays I wish I could tell you how angry and hurt I am
It's on those days I'm reminded you're clueless to the walls, much less the writing

I told you about two huge things in my life right now
You don't even know what they are

All I got was okay
And the dependable "good for you" li[n]e

Whatever.
Less than a year.

I really am doing well, I'm sorry that I haven't made this post the happiest.
I'm reading Do Hard Things (I'm not sure if it's proper to underline that) by Alex and Brett Harris
It's really amazing, they started the Rebelution.
Check it out.

It's bed time.

God Bless.

3 days til I'm 17. (Yikes) It's crazy, I mean in another year I'll be 18. And while that makes me happy, it also makes me scared. I'm so immature, and I'm going to be an adult soon. I think that's insane. But, it rocks.
5 days til Christmas. That's awesome too (not scary at all, heh). We're blessed. And I think we forget that we say "God bless America." He has. So this Christmas I'm working on not acting like I'm entitled to any of this.

I've been reading Jesus Wants to Save Christians by Rob Bell and Don Golden. It's really good. And it's interesting, I love the way you look at things differently after reading it. So yeah, go check it out. (Along with Velvet Elvis and Sex God).

I got to go. Lack of things to say.

Bye.

Winter chill

So, basically it's been snowing alot, but every person who has been living here for awhile says it "light". I don't care what they said, it is cold it is snowing alot.

And I got a Nintendo DS Lite in Polar White. It's amazing. I love playing it. I have Guitar Hero:On Tour, Nintendogs: Labs and Friends, and Super Mario 64. It was alittle pricey, but the games have alot of different things to do on them, so it's really fun. Oh, and I also got a Hello Kitty carrying case. ^.^. It was my early birthday/Christmas present to myself.

I try to be optimistic, I have alot to be happy about. But lately I've been having a hard time. It seems alot of the people that I looked up to have been doing things that really bother me. One by one they have been hurting me. I know we're all human, but what is one to do when someone (a musician) whom I used to adore, and look up to highly has been changing. He used to be famous when i started loving his music. He was straight edge*, and christian. But now, he's go atheist, thank God he hasn't become not straight edge. They things he says though, and worries about are so different from what he used to be like. I don't know. it hurts. And he's not the only one that seems to have let me down. I geuss that's what i get though.

So yeah. Bye.

*Straight Edge basically means they don't: smoke, drink, do drugs, have casually sex (if any), or anything that is very harmful, basically, it gets more detailed.
