Junior Nationals and Family Vaca!!((:

Well the past two weeks I have been out of the state over on the east coast!! While my little sister was in Phoenix, Arizona for her volleyball tournament, and I was in Atlanta, Georgia for my volleyball tournament! I am super happy with my team and how we finished!! We finished 18th in the country!! So I am not disappointed at all!! This was the end of the year tournament and I am pretty bummed that our season is over but in less than two weeks high school volleyball starts! So that is now what I am looking forward to with having new teammates and playing for my mom! It is going to be sooo much fun!((: oh yea and congrats to Courtney (my little sister who was playing in Phoenix) for getting 6th in the tournament!!(:

Well after the tournament the family traveled down to Orlando to go to Walt Disney World! It was soo much fun! We had an awesome time! We went to two different parks Magic Kingdom, and Animal Kingdom! They were so much fun!! Then we traveled down towards key west and while we were driving we drove through Everglades National Park and we saw some GATORS!!! It was awesome!! After Key West we went to Miami so we could fly back home and on that day we took a plane, train, automobile, and bus!!! It was crazy! Well I had a great time on vacation but happy I am back home!(:

Have a great day!(:

My Past Weekend!

Well this weekend I had a huge volleyball tournament! This was a tournament to qualify for the national championships in Atlanta, Georgia this summer. I am so excited because my team got third in the tournament and the top three teams are able to go. I am so proud of all the girls on my team they all did something special this weekend and I couldn't ask for a better team. This weekend my whole team grew in many different ways. We may not be the best team ever but we are definitely a team full of heart and that's how we did so good. So great job girls!

Well that's about all I did this weekend!

Hope you have a great day!(:

(well that's how it is supposed to be :)But it doesn't seem like spring yet! haha.

My Life Right Now!

OMG! I haven't written in forever!!! So let me recap on what I have been doing lately!(:

Well for Christmas break i went to Montana and enjoyed some time with my grandparents and just had a blast in the snow!(: We did so many things together and I even go t to play some volleyball with Montana kids!

I have officially started my club volleyball season. I have been working extremely hard and my team is doing really well. We have a tournament this Saturday, and I hope we do well! In about 2 weeks my team will be going to Atlanta, Georgia for a qualifier for the Junior Nationals. I am planning on going with just my parents. So it should be a whole lot of fun(:

My dad has been gone basically the whole month of March and some of February for the earthquake in New Zealand and now for the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It has been hard not being with him but I know he is helping a lot of people and I know God is with him wherever he goes!(: My dad is my hero!
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
This is the verse I think of when I am lonely or when I think of my dad. I hope you will think of this verse also when you are going through a rough time.(:

Well life is good!(: I think I pretty much shared everything new that is happening right here! Here are a couple of pictures from our Montana vacation!

My family hanging around the amazing snowman we made!(:

My grandma, Brooke and I chilling!!

Brooke and I!

Have a great day!(:

Love

1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongue of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

These verses teach me that I need show more love to my friends and enemies, just like how God shows love to us. I hope you have a great day and share the love of Christ(:

Thanksgiving! (:

Happy Thanksgiving!!!! (: I hope you had a wonderful day!
I am thankful for, my family and that I can worship Christ freely! Please let me know what you are thankful for.(:

Starry Night

From the Birds that Sing, In the Tallest Trees.
To the Human Life, of you and me.
From the Desert Sands, to the place we stand.
He is God of All, He is Everything.

Waohhh

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring, 'cause he is everything
'Cause he is everything

From the Autumn Leaves, that will ride the breeze
To the Faith it takes, to pray and sing
From the Painted sky, to my plank filled eye
He is God of all, He is everything

Waohhh

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring, 'cause he is everything.

Ohhhhhhh (everything)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
I believe
Ohhh
Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
I believe

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun
On that Starry Night, He changed my life.
I'm giving it all to the only son who gave me hope when I had none.
So let the praises ring,
Ohhhh Let the Praises Ring

I'm giving my life to the only one who makes the Moon reflect the sun.
Every Starry Night, that was His design.
I'm giving my life to the only son, who was and is and yet to come
Let the Angels sing, that he is Heavenly

So let the Praises ring
'Cause he everything

This is one of my favorite songs. Hope you enjoy it!

Hebrews 12:1

Bible Study Lesson.....Sunday 9|26|10

Today, I was at church and we learned about Creation. We read through Genesis chapter 1 and then watched a movie of an artist who tells stories through sand. It was pretty amazing but the main thing that wowed me was how well he told the story. It is amazing on how everything God did was in his image and how we are made perfect in his eyes. I know how many times we read through this chapter but every time I read I seem to find one or two more things I didn't know or didn't realize before. This is what God created on each day.
Day 1-Created the heaven and the Earth, day and night
Day 2-Divided heaven from Earth
Day 3-Created the land, sea and vegetation
Day 4-Created the sun, moon and stars
Day 5-Created creatures, great and small
Day 6-Created mankind
Day 7-the day of rest.

Summer is Over!......School is Here!

Well I think my title just said it! I start school tomorrow and I am so excited!! My mom and I have ordered all the books and are ready to start a great year. I am taking one class this year on Fridays. I will be taking a science class. While I am taking this class I hope to learn more and fellowship with other Christians and make new friends! :)This year I would like to get closer to God, prepare for high school, and get closer to my parents and build a stronger relationship with them. I am so excited for this coming year! I hope everyone reading this has a great year also! :)

Hume Lake 2010!!!

OK...so the past week my church group went to the amazing Hume Lake Christian Camp. I had so much fun! :)

The theme up there was Excuse Mai!?... which shows us our lesson that we learned. Which is how to live for Christ in a ME centered world. Our speaker Ron, was the best speaker I have listened to. I loved the visuals that he showed us on how much Christ loves us. One of the verses that pointed out to me that he read to us was:
2 Corinthians 5:14
"For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died."

This week at Hume Lake we had many fun memories.
Here is a list of what I did.
zip lining, kayaking, playing in the highschool volleyballl tournament as an 8th grader, spending time with all of my friends and, looking at God's wonderful creation!

A couple days before we left for Hume Lake my camara broke! :( But here is my favorite picture Brooke took on her camara.



Hebrews 12:1

Philippians 2:14-15

Do everything without complaining or argueing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generationin which you shine like the stars in the universe.

I was reading through Philippians last night and this verse really spoke out to me. So I hope when you read this verse it will speak out to you.

Hebrews 12:1

4th of July Fun! :)

Sunday we had a very fun fourth of July! My dad was working so we went to church just as the ladies! :) That was a whole bunch of fun! I love learning more about Christ and singing and worshiping him. We talked about the book of Philippians. Then I went to help with working with the younger kids! After church we were just hanging out around the house! I love doing that! :D

The best part about the day was visiting my dad. He was working at the airport right by the Fairplex. So we watched the firework show that the fairplex was doing. It was awesome! But it was cold! But we were all snuggled up!

This fourth of July was a lot of fun and I hope this week is as fun as Sunday!
