The up and up

Truth is, I didn't want to steal Sarah's last post title. This is mostly just an update.
Well, I just returned from Super Summer. And may have radically changed my desire for the future. But for right now, I am praying for the will of God who is on the throne to be shown to me. It's an every day struggle, but hey, who said life was easy?
Next topic, I have my smile back. It left for a while and due to events over the past month, it's back. Praise Jesus. Have you ever realized how much you missed being happy when you aren't for a while? Well, I have. And I thank God that He used such a dark time in my life for His glory. Next, I am still addicted to www.givesmehope.com. Look it up and buy some Kleenexes. Uhh.. What else? Oh! Summer projects are officially due in 11 days.....and I haven't started. Goooood. Next, I have to speak at church Sunday night and I have so much to say, but not really sure how. It's hard to stand in front of a group of people who sometimes like youth and sometimes don't and say, "I know I'm 17, but I want to die for Christ. And I think that you should offer your everything, too." So that's a big burden on me right now. But God is Jehovah Jirah. He will provide. Next, I have a new mission I ask you pray for. A girl at Super Summer named Kristin's dad passed away this past spring break. Through this, Kristin decided to start a movement called "Million Meals". Her goal is to feed 1,000,000 children in 3rd world countries who do not have food and are starving. She sells these radical t-shirts for 10 bucks and all the proceeds go to the mission 100%. For every shirt you buy, it's 26 meals. At SS, we raised 5,000 dollars, which will feed 20,000 kids roughly. So if you're interested in a shirt, let me know. They say "WE ARE ENDING WORLD HUNGER" on the front in big letters. But prayers are always just as good. So I guess that's it. My life is crazy, awkward, and stressful, but strangely, that's normal for me. Hope you all are well. Maybe you'll see me smile soon. I do it a lot more.


With every breath I'm breathing in,
I'll be trying to make it so much more
'Cause I'm on the up and up...
