good verses!

Psalm 18:1-6
I love you, O Lord, my stregth. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is MY rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my samvation, my stronghold. I cal lto the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the grace coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me. In my didstress I called to the Lord; I cried to tmy God for help. From His temple He heard my woice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

Psalm 27:1-3
The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men adwance against me to devour my flest, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army beslege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.

spring break post

Hi!
Well, until today my spring break has been somewhat uneventful. But, today I was able to go to Leila's parents house. We had LOADS of fun. First, I got a short tour of her parents home. Which they are currently remodeling. Then we waled around and looked at the other horses. Including one with no eyes. Which, I've heard, has scared a few people, but it's actually not that bad, if you know it BEFORE you see the horse. Then we went out and got her horse, Skyler. We brushed him and warmed him up a little. Then we rode him for, what Leila said, was the first time in a while. And I hadn't done that in a while either. And we were using a western saddle. I'm more used to using English, but it was fun! I walked him around the arena what seemed like a million times. I thought I would be sore but I'm actually not! So then we put him away. Which was sad because I LOVE horses. And I wouldn't have minded playing with him for a little longer. But then we left and couldn't decide what we wanted to do. So we went to Red Robin in smokey point. That is my 5Th time going there and every time neither Katie nor Natalie has been working. But we had good fun and good food. Then I went home and Leila went home to grade papers. So it was a great day! And tomorrow I am off to babysit for the Mark's. Thanks for reading!

Being a shining light in the Dark

Recently, I have really been thinking about how we need to be a testamony to those who aren't saved, and how sometimes we ( at least I) feel embarrased to stand out and defend Christ. Not saying He needs us at all. But If something hurts God, shouldn't hurt us as christians, too? For example, I take Tae Kwon Do and i have lots of friends there. Before class we all talk while we stretch and my friends talk about boys, and drugs, etc. They also swere and take God's name in vain. I never say anything because I don't want them to think I am some sortof religious freak and shun me. But if they did stop being my friend, then doesn't that mean that they weren't really friends at all. Don't we need to sacrifice for Him? Friendship is a small thing to lose compared to losing HEAVEN!! I guess I am just so comfortable in my enviorment. I have gone to a Christian school all my life. Almost all of my friends are Christian, and even if they aren't they are good at faking it. But it is a relitivly new experience to me to have people who just swere and talk about innappropriate things without even thinking about it! And I often question myself because once I get into that enviorment, I don't join in in their sin, but I definatly don't atempt to stop it! Which is a sin in its self! Please pray that I would be stronger and beable to stand up for the faith, instead of just going along with it like it is no big deal!
sry about the spelling errors, the spell check thingy isn't working!

CALLING ALL LEADERS!!!

Calling all leaders to the Grace Academy Annual Jr. High Lock-in. We need as many leaders from One28 as we can get. It doesn't matter if you work with High School or Jr. High. It is in the Gym at grace from 3:15pm to 12 am on March 23, 2007. You don't need to stay the whole time. There will be food, games, movies, night games, talent show, etc. High School SLC can come and help to! Please come! Also, please tell other staff people who don't blog.

Funny story

I want to tell you a weird story:

So the other day I was walking to safeway with Ty-lynn and there was this lady, and she just kept staring at me, it was really weird. So later she comes up to me and is like, sorry for staring at you, but you remind me alot of my daughter, then she showed me a picture, and it kindof looked like me, and she told me that her daughter died 2 years ago, then she was like "Can I ask you a favor" and i was like "sure" so she said " when I leave will you say bye mom, so i was like sure, why not. So we were in the checkout line after she was finished she was walking away and said "bye daughter" and I said "bye mom" so we were just buying a couple of things, and when the clerk guy was done checking our stuff he was like "your total comes to 92$" and ty and i were like "WHAT!!! we only bought a couple of things", and he said "well your mom said that you would pay for it," and i said " Thats not my mom!" and he said "yes it is you just said 'bye mom'". so I was like hang on a sec, so i run out of the door and she is walking to her car and sees me coming, so she hurries to get into her car and her leg was still sticking out, and i started to pull on it,
































just like i am pulling yours!!

My funny sister

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a POOR PIG IN A PEAR TREE!
my sister is so funny! She thought that was actually the words!
