Czech

As you may have heard, I will be going to the Czech Republic this July for a mission trip. We'll helping a local youth group run a camp where we teach them English and the Gospel.

Unfortunately, my funds are not coming in very well at all. I have about $2400 left to raise in the next 3 weeks. For some odd reason, a lot of people didn't get my support letters that I sent out.

So if you would like to be praying for me, that'd be GREAT! And if you would like to support me, ust let me know :)

11 DAYS!

til camp starts!

I really desperately need to pass math because I DO NOT want to take it again next year! Please be praying that I can pass math and finish my school year strong because as of now, my mind is set on TCBC.

mother's day...

Give Me Jesus

In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise

Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

When I am alone,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

When I come to die,
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
Give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.

I get to spend another INCREDIBLE summer at Trout Creek Bible Camp!!
After A LOT of prayer and thinking, I finally decided that camp is where God wants me.
I know if I didn't go back, I would miss it WAY too much anyway.
But I will only be there in June and August. I'll be in the Czech Republic for a mission trip for the whole month of July. I'm SO excited for both serving opportunities!

OH! Saturday May 17 at Good Shepherd Community Church @ 7, there is a big dinner to support my mission trip to Czech. Its $15/person or $50/family with children under 12. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the trip,if you buy your ticket directly from me then all of the money goes directly to my fund :). It is being catered by Outlaw BBQ, which is REALLY good! Please come :)

All you need is love...

In a broad sense, John Lennon makes a simple yet profound point. If we all just learn to love, thins would be a lot better. That not only goes for loving God but loving people.

God has been teaching me lately about just loving people and accepting our differences and simply loving them. My pastor made an excellent point. He said that we would be so much more affective, if instead of reaching people for the sole mission to convert them, but just getting to know them and listening to them and hearing their story and seeing things their way and simply LOVING them.

My youth pastor told me and a few of my friends about a movie. Its called, "Lord, Save us from Your Followers". And it is a documentary made by a Christian guy from Portland, and it just about how Christians and conservatives tend to be the most hateful people in this country. And its SO true. We act like Pharisees. So we watched it tonight and it was SO compelling and eye-opening. I HIGHLY recommend it, if you can find a copy of it.

I don't know about you but I am absolutely IN LOVE with people. People are SO beautiful! People are, for sure, God's most beautiful creations. After all, we are the only thing on earth that was made in the image of God. I just really want to get to know people more and understand people and know where they are coming from.

So here is kind of a short overview of the whole movie. Take out 10 minutes just to watch this short clip. But if you get the chance, I really encourage you to watch the full movie.
