Crazy Summer

Well, as you can see, I have not been on my blog in a long while. I forgot my password, so that would do it. : D

This summer has been crazy. Back in April I visited Pensacola Christian College (which I'll be attending this fall) in Pensacola, Florida. In May I graduated; in June I went to North Carolina with one of my sisters, M3, to visit with my older sister (M1) and her husband. When I got home I had a wedding, then our church had VBS which went very well and yesterday I just got back from camp with two other siblings of mine! C-R-A-Z-Y!!!

The speaker this week at camp was Mike Jones from North Carolina and he did a GREAT job preaching. Everyone had a good time listening to the messages, playing sports and just hanging out with other teens of like-faith.

Many decisions were made this past week, many public and many private, so if you would, please keep all of us teens (and even our counselors) in your prayers. I know it may seem a bit awkward praying for strangers, seeing as how I'm sure if anyone is reading this, most of you may have just stumbled across my blog; but any and all prayers are always welcomed! : )

I'm sure I'll upload pictures and maybe even write more of camp, but once again, we're busy busy BUSY so I'll have to stop here.

Hope you've all had a great summer so far!

Book Review- "Life in Spite of Me"

"Life in Spite of Me" is a moving story of a young woman, Kristen Anderson, who threw herself onto the train tracks one cold night, hoping to end all of her pain.

As thirty-three freight cars sliced through her body, Kristen welcomed death; but God had other plans.

Thanks to Waterbrook Multnomah Publishers, I was able to join Kristen through her physical -and spiritual- pain as she struggled to face life and to find the answers for which she was searching.

I recommend this book to any person- siblings, parents, pastors, teachers, etc. It may help you to help others that are in Kristen's place, and maybe even help yourself.

Children's Museum Fun (Long post)

Ok, I just have to express my thanks for my older sister's thoughtful Christmas gift that she and her husband gave to my family this past December: an annual family pass to the Children's Museum!!!!

(For those of you whom have never been there, or don't know even what it is, you are living in a sick world! :) Ok, maybe that's a bit dramatic...maybe.)

Anyways it's this AWESOME musem that (as the name suggests) is children focused. It has MANY interactive exhibts (ranging from the Maze of Mirrors to the Waterworks to many more) and it seems that they always have something new! It is such a blast and my family and I always have fun when we go there.

I have so many memories that I made there with my family such as sitting on the dinosaur, telling time on the water clock and even getting in trouble for throwing fake, squishy rocks at my Granny (they were, honest!) to be funny, or sticking my tongue out at my Grandma and Grandpa-again to be funny. (Mom didn't think it was. Lol : )

Anyways, the last time I was there was YEARS ago, so when I found out that my sister was buying a family pass, I was UBER excited, hardly able to restrain from jumping up and down! When we finally opened up the envelope for Christmas that contained our passes, I was WAY more excited than my younger siblings, I think!

So on Tuesday of last week my family and I went to the Museum after we finished school...and boy was it worth the wait!!!! Check out the pictures below!
