God of This City

I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Arlington Texas this summer with my mom and sister. When the idea was first brought up we were not sure if we were going to be able to go but it worked out and we got to go. While we were there we didn't just serve in the mornings we also taught Rainbow Express (VBS) in the afternoons. We also had worship services that were held at Mission Arligton and ones that we conducted. We also had devotional time. It was a time in which we could serve God and grow closer to him at the same time. While we were in the worship services the people from Arlington would play the song GOD OF THIS CITY, because yes that I guess you could call their theme song, because he is the god of that city. Everything at Mission Arlington is GOD Ordained and only happens when it does because God allows it to. 

What many people don't think about is that GOD places us where he does for a reason. You don't need to go on a Mission Trip far away to serve GOD even though that is a good thing. SERVE GOD where you are, he is the GOD of this city and there are miraculous things that will be done here that we are unaware of! We need to make that our theme song for whatever city you live in! 

Summmmmmeerrrrrrr FINALLY!!!

Well, i'm so glad that it is finally summer. Well actually my summmer started not last friday but the friday before last. I still cant believe that i am going to be a junior next year. So everyone reading this have a great and enjoyable summer.  :)

Summer

I am so ready for summer. Even though that this school year has gone by so fast yet so slow im still ready for summer. I am sad that this senior class has to graduate and next year i will be even sadder. I have made some good friends in this senior class and are sad they are graduating but know that they are excited about college. I wish them the best and hope that we cross paths sometime again in the future.

Joyful Noise

My mom, dad, and i went to go see this movie on Sunday afternoon. It is a great movie but not an high quality movie and  there were a couple of scenes that REALLY made no sense and should NOT have been in the movie at all because they did not fall in with the story line. It was a hilarious movie. There was one scene that was sad and it did make sense in the story. If you are looking for a good movie to go see definately go see it.

Movie Review: Dear John

Well, I just got a chance to watch this movie last night. I loved the movie. This movie was and sweet at the same time. This is one of those movies that I will watch again. The only thing I liked but also did not like at the same time was the ending. Well, If I say anymore I will spoil the movie for you if you have not seen it. The actors and  actressses were good especially the two main characters. That is all i have to say for today.

3 videos that really tell what Christmas is all about.

This is the third and last of the three blogs and videos. This video is my favorite of the  three and it describes Christmas in 50 words.

3 videos that tell what Christmas is really all about.

This is the second of three blogs and the second video of three.
This video "compares" JESUS and Santa. The narrator realizes that Jesus and Santa really do not have that much in common.

3 videos that tell what Christmas is really all about.

 There are two more blogs coming after this one. This first one is what it would have been like if there had been internet back during the time of JESUS' birth.

Videos that I Really LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            JJ Heller True Things

We try so hard to be someone we aren't. We just need to be who we really are and not not try to be that person we are not. This song is talking about that. And that is why i love this song.

This is another song I really love. It is talking about God's almighty love.

I Love this song too. There are no words to describe it.

And this will be my last song for the day. I have no words to describe it either.

Letters From War

This song really makes you think about how precious life is. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this song.

It is talking about a mom who has a son who went off to fight for the country and then in December he rescued a guy and the guy wrote to his mother. Anyway I LOVE this song.

JMA vs. Gatewood

Okay so John Milledge football season starts tonight. First game of the season and biggest rival. They are playing Gatewood. I Really hope that JMA Wins tonight but you know. I will be at the game and this is always an exciting game  and  a big deal.

Busy Summer

Well, the reason I have not blogged lately is because I have had a super busy summer.  At first I was so busy preparing for mission trip. I had an awesome experience on mission trip. We had this deaf girl and she could read lips some but I was lucky I knew some sign language. So that was a challenge but we found a way to over come that challenge. On Thursday night we (the Northside Youth group) during bible study had communion and my youth minister read so verses about what communion is and so on. Well then one by one our youth minister would signal to another youth leader that would signal to us so that we could go into the room and take communion. In the room was a stage and on the stage thof there was a table sitting in the middle of the stage and on it was the bread that was broken and it had a sign by it that said "Christ's body broken for you" and beside that were cups of grape juice with a sign that said "Christ's blood shed for you". In this room also the lights were off everywhere with bright lights shining the stage. There was really epic music playing. All the songs that were playing had somewhat to do with Christ's death and ressurection and return. With all this going on THIS was the first time I feel like I have really encountered GOD and felt like he was really there. It was just a really neat experience that I hope I will never forget. Then I came back from Mission trip and I rested for awhiole then went back to Taekwondo teaching my little kiddies. Then before I  had left for Mission trip I had found out about a play that our community theatre was doing so I was interested in  helping back stage so I have been doing stuff with that and opening night is about a week and a half away. So for the last week and two days of my summmer I am just doing stuff with Taekwondo and the community theatre group. I am so not ready to go back to school but we all know we have to at some point. We canNOT have our whole lives be summer and no school.

My First Taekwondo Tournament

6.25.2011
      


Okay so I have been taking Taekwondo for a long time, about four to five years now. When I got my First degree blackbelt about two years ago that was when I started competeing and of course judging too. The first tournmaent I ever went to was in Panama City on Labor Day Weekend. I was "thrown" into the hardest ring to judge which is XMA!! The reason it is so hard to judge is because everyone who competes in that category is so good that you wanna give them all a high score. Then of course it was my time to compete. I was so nervous. I like tournaments so much  because you meet new people and make new friends. Today I wish I was in LittleRock competeing at the top ten World Championship but unfortunately this year i do not have enough points to be there.
