Today at the dinner table my mamma was explaining to me how jery duty worked and how they asked you questions like "do you believe in the death penaty" and stuff like that.
I personally don't because I don't belive that the only person who should be able to decide rather someones life should be taken in God himself. I mean really, he brought you into this world I by golly, I'm pretty sure he should deside when and where to take you out! Besides, I think it's a bigger punishment if they rot in jail! How on earth can people think a punishment for a criminal is to let them live in luxury with Christ?! People who work all day and come home and read their bible dream of the day they'll will be united with god and criminals are just getting that handed that to them! I just think that that is the OPPOSIT of what should be going on.

Day 12
So I told you guys yesterday how this morning the 8th grade FCA leaders were going to share their testimony's with everybody, and let me tell you, it went AMAZING!!!! Like 15 something people became saved today, but there was one that I really, really like and basically it was about God places basically in front of you and seeing if you would the right thing for him and the right thing for you.
God I think likes to test our faith sometimes. He puts things in front of us to see if we will call him to help or if we try to just figure everything out in our own. Not that he's trying to be mean or anything, but he just wants to see if you, not have what it takes, but something a little along the lines of that. God loves us all and he sure does say it a lot in the bible, and God wants the best thing for us, and sometimes doing the best thing for us is breaking us down so that we will turn to him.
I encourage all of you to turn to God when something bad has happened to you, or even if your friend id going through a hard time, point them to God and help them along their journey to salvation

Day 11
This week at my school is something we call freedom week and what it is is this week where every morning before school actually starts, all the Christians come to celebrate and worship to Jesus Christ, and this morning we sang songs and and just prayed and really just danced around a lot, but what I'm really exited for is tomorrow! Were having this big huge breakfast and all of the 8th grade leaders are going to share their testaments with everyone and it got me thinking about, if I had to share my testimony, what I would say, so, tell me what you think...
My family is really like an ordinary family, we're all Christians (some more than others) and I was raised that way, but see, I thought I was a true Christians. like full out, living out for Christ, but when I went into the 6th grade and I went to FCA (Fellowship of Christan Athletes) and then I realized, I really didn't have any clue what Christ was. I mean, I knew he died on the cross to save us from sin, but I really had no idea how much more he was than that, so, from then on, I was officially saved... UNTIL I got to around middle of 7th grade!!! I really wasn't living it out for Christ at all, but then, one weekend, my best friend dragged me to this church retreat, I from there on, my life has never been the same! Thanks to her, my life has been so much happier! I mean really, I'm a prime example that if you just let Christ into your life, he will change forever!!! I was sad and unhappy and thought it was just living in the moment instead of looking at the bigger picture. I thought about this I long time ago about how life right now is like we're preparing to be born into heaven where we really live our lives, and how well we manage determines if we're born into heaven or into hell.
I'm going to encourage you guys to live like tomorrow you have to share you're testimony, but I would hope that you would make it a good massage rather than a bad one.

Day 10
Last night I had a super weird dream and it was about how I was the next Mother Marry and how I conseved Jesus in his human form and it really got he thinking about how truely amazing that women!
Think about it... this women was born without sin, destind to have the profoses child, and not only that, but she is like an icon for thousands of mothers out there! She lived it out for God ten times more than any of us could think posible. I was reading the bible and somwhere, it stated that these people were praying so much, that they phisicaly ingered themselves from being on their knees so much and left dents in their floor from praying in that one spot for so long. I can't even amagine having that long of a conversation with God, I mean, My prayers usually last up to 5 minets, 10 if I'm asking for somthing. HAHA!!! But really, people back then were so into God that literally spent every waking moment talking to him and living for him. Is it the culture that we've been born into that makes us forget what is truely important? Why arn't people of this decade getting ingerise from talking to God? Is it because people now have to work and earn money, or is it because they do't want to seem different from everyone else? I'm going to let you guys fill in the blank...

Day 9
OMG!!!!! I'm sooooo sorry everyone!!!! I haven't blogged in FOREVER because my mom and dad grounded me from the computer!!!!!! But now I'm back and ready to go!
We are constantly attempting to change our image. From tanning and whitening our teeth, to changing the color of our hair, we try to hide every little imperfection we see, trying to fix ourselves to reach perfection. Now I'm not saying don't take care of yourselves because, after all, the Lord lives inside of us and we are his temple, but what I'm saying is we tend to forget sometimes that the creator of the universe create each and every one of us with the up most time and care, and if he wanted you to have brown hair instead of red, I say by golly you keep every brown hair on your head! the world we are living in may tell us that the only way to be beautiful is to achieve perfection, but if we're beautiful in Gods eyes, just the way we are, why would we do we want to change?
I'm going to encourage all of you to just keep every little part of you just the way you are, because that is how our Lord created you, and for that reason alone out rules every other reason in between.

Day 8
Yesterday I watched the movie The Invention of Lying and it was really, really good, but one of the main things I liked about it was the guy in the movie made up this lie to his mother who was about to die and she was terrified because she thought the afterlife was just going to be a world of nothingness. So he told her that when she died, she would be welcomed into this wonderful place where she would get a fabulous mansion, and all of her friends and family would be there and the man in the sky would look after her up in that marvelous town.
I hear a lot of talk about how everyone is so panicked about 2012 and how they hope the day will never come and how they will never get to do all the things they plane to do, but honestly, not that I'm exited about death, but I can't wait until the world end. When the world ends, Jesus will show himself in his human form and come down to earth and take us all up to heaven with him! I don't know about you guys, but I can't wait until the day I get to be face to face with Jesus Christ and he can tell me, "GOOD WORK!" I can only imagine what that day will be like and how amazing it will be to finally be able to be up there with the man in the sky.
I hope you guys take what I've given you today and live today like you'll be meet Jesus tomorrow! Look forward to the day when you'll be living in that big old mansion! Live every day like you DESERVE that bog old mansion.

Day 7
I had a not so good day today and I've got a MAJOR headache and I;m just in a really bad mood! I felt bad all day because I could tell I was taking my bad mood out on everyone else around me and that just not how I want to act like that to my friends or my teachers.
I know we all have those days where we really just don't want to be nice to people and don't want to talk to anyone and just stay home from school and watch T.V all day, but we can't just bail on the people who need us and just escape from the world, God shows us each and every day that when someone isn't having a good day, they can still go through the day and even teach the word. God knows how we feel when were not have too hot of a day, but we need to show him that even when we aren't feeling our best that we love him and we can show it by teaching everyone around us his word and how amazing it is when you finally get to know him and his son Jesus!
I hope all of you today would go out there and preach how amazing it is to know God and to know that he will love you know matter what and that even on a bad day, with his strength at your site, you not only will be able to get through the day, but you just might change someones life in the process!
