I am so happy its Friday. Just 1 more Friday until School is over. I thought this weekend would be really busy because its Memorial Day weekend but it isn't. I am glad about that though because more time to spend with the family!! Tonight: I am going to a graduation bonfire. Its a celebration for my friend Christie. Her grad party is next Saturday but there's this HUGE event at my church that day called Revolution. And many people will be going to that so I think that why she is having the bonfire tonight. Saturday: Some of us that are going on the Chicago mission trip and are in charge of doing stories for the Vacation Bible School that we are putting on while we are there are getting together to practice our skits. I have the story of the 7 Plagues. Then Later saturday night I am babysitting again but for a different family. Sunday: I am super excited because my whole family is going to church. We haven't gone in a looong time due to basketball in the Win

American Idol

And the winner is.... Lee Dewayze So as you can tell I am a big fanatic of American Idol and the finale was on last night. And Lee won which I am really happy about.One of the reason I liked him was that I felt he was very humble throughout the whole experience. He wanted to win and he knew he was good, but he didn't brag about it. So enough about American Idol I just wanted to say I was happy that he won. So for my Chicago missions trip that I am going on in a couple of weeks, we are going through this bible study called a love worth giving by Max Lucado and I did chapter 8 yesterday and it was really convicting. It was about anger and how anger comes from rejection. I never thought about that before but then he gave the example of Cain and Abel in Genesis and how Cain's offering was rejected by God and how that made Cain angry .. angry enough to kill. But the thing I have to remember is that being angry isn't a sin, God created that emotion its when we let Anger control u

I hope you guys all having a good friday. i know I am. so this weekend I don't have much planned. I'll be attending grad parties all weekend which should be fun. It only makes it seem that much closer till mine. Tonight I have Sam's open house. I have known her since we were both in 3rd grade and we met at church in sunday school. Sam is the one on the left with the braid. This was when we were in Chicago for the Blaze conference at the Sear center Then tomorrow I have more grad parties to go to and later on at night, I will be babysitting the cute kids I posted pictures of last weekend except tomorrow it will just be him, because his sister has her dance recital. Sunday will hopefully be a relaxing day but for Spanish I have to go to a Mexican or spanish speaking restaurant and talk in spanish so my mom is going to tag along & we are going to try out El Toro. Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!! We are halfway through the week. Yay!! So today I went to out to lunch with my Grandma and my mom at Houilhans. It was nice to catch up with my grandma, and then afterwards we came back to my house and my mom and grandma chatted. Later I had softball practice. It was fun to get outside and enjoy this beautiful Minnesota weather. Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday night. I just want to leave you with this verse that I find encouraging. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2nd Corinthians 4:18

I had a blast at the conference and I LEARNED soooo much. It was cool because two other ch urches showed up. It was at my church Edinbrook and then Grace and Redeemer came. We also had a worship band called 513Free and i had never heard of the before but really liked them. They were from Eau claire, Wisconsin Friday night was all about the Pursuit, how God pursues us and I really liked to hear that because I never heard that. And then that night I slept over at this girl's house, one of my best friends Kassie :) Then Saturday morning we came back and before the session got started, I hung out with these cool people, Sherrill with olivia, Sam and christie and Evan. I can't forget these people , Evan Kassie, tyler and Jenny Then in the morning we learned about the action, How God pursues us. And the big thing i got out
