Turning 16

You know, 16 used to be such a big number, especially when i was just 6. I probably didn’t know most of the people i know now, nope i didn’t know you too. My cousin was 16 then, and i thought “wow, that’s a long long way to go, and he’s so grown up!”.
I’m gonna be 16 soon, and it doesn’t seem like such a big deal at all (: It shouldn’t be. If you live everyday...

What says you?
In a discussion that some classmates and I were having, the topic of beauty came up. We tossed around several possible definitions and were unable to come to a conclusion at this point.
So, since I’m curious, what do you think about beauty?
What is beauty?
Are there different kinds of beauty?
Is beauty good?
What is good? (Nice, easy one)
Is there/Should there be a standard of beauty?

Last night, I heard about this ministrything that teens can sign up for and they are assigned to mission trips around the world. My friend and I had just been talking about another friend who had gone a mission trip with her church to build houses in Mexico and about how much we would love to do that. A few minutes after the conversation, a video came over the screen about...
Yesterday, I had my interview for the trip to Kenya, and I’m in! I’m going to Kenya in July! I’m so excited, but nervous, too. I have a while before the trip, but training starts in February…
It’s going to be waaay out of my comfort zone, so pray for me. And there’s the whole issue of raising $3,000+. But I really do believe that He’ll provide.
Audio Adrenaline - Hands and Feet
An image flashed across my TV screen Another broken heart comes in to view I saw the pain and I turned my back Why can’t I do the things I want to? I’m willing yet I’m so afraid You give me strength When I say I want to be your hands I want to be your feet I’ll go where you send me I’ll go where you send me I want to be your hands I want to be your feet I’ll...
Addison Road - All That Matters
I may never be the one that gets a second glance I may never be the one they call the prettiest But that’s alright with me And maybe I don’t follow every crazy passion Spend all my time trying to get a good reaction But that’s ok with me This world is like a trampoline high and low no in between Jumping at the chance to please everyone but that’s not me cause All that matters is, all that matters...
Leave me a prayer request, ask me a question... →

Tim Hughes - God of Justice
God of Justice, Savior to all
Came to rescue the weak and the poor
Came to serve and not be served
Jesus, You have called us
Freely we’ve received, now freely we will give
We must go, live to feed the hungry
Stand beside the broken, we must go
Stepping forward, keep us from just singing
Move us into action, we must go
To act justly every day
Loving mercy in every way
Walking...

Why is there a need to mutilate amazing books? First it was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Ok, I can ignore that. Then Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, then Mansfield Park and Mummies. But now?
Now Twilight is taking over everything. Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit A.
Little Women and Werewolves
Really? Really? Huh.

On camels and service...
I’ve been reading The Me I Want to Be by John Ortberg. He mentioned the story of Rebekah, and how she brought water for the camels, too (Genesis 24). Seems pretty unremarkable, doesn’t it? Then he mentioned how a camel could drink about thirty gallons of water, and that there were ten camels. That means Rebekah drew three hundred gallons of water for a stranger. That’s the kind...

Today is a momentous day...for me.
Wow. My tumblarity is into triple digits. Is it sad that triple digits make me feel special? You with your 500+ tumblarity, you can laugh. Kitten sacrifice and cheese, people.
Since I can’t find the permalink, but still wanted to attribute the awesome quote…

Off to teach kids church...
We’re learning about discipline this month. “Doing what you need to do now so you can grow stronger.”
Funnily enough, this is something I struggle with. Hmm, be on Tumblr, or clean my room and do my homework? Some decision. Maybe I’ll learn something too…
