6 days until Christmas!!!

Sorry my blog looks all plain. I'm playing with the html. Bare with me here.
:]

Hey, how are you all doing? Im good. Anyway, I went to the AWANA conference today. I found it really helpful. I think the part that impacted me the most was the beginning. Our speaker this year was Steve Pigott. His message was that for example, your car breaks down. All you can do is step back and say, "Oh well." Cursing at your car isn't gonna do anything to help fix your car and neither is hitting the steering wheel.

Okay, so I was trying to make a video with one of my favorite songs and I couldn't get it uploaded to youtube. But after several hours of frustration, I did it! Check it out.

Okay, I have a request for a new post. Yea, it's been awhile. Hmm... What could I talk about? Oooo! I know. I don't know if I have told any of you this yet, but I've been looking at doing a mission trip through teen missions since, well, for awhile. And, I might actually get to go. If I were to go, I would want to go to Egypt. There, we (there's a team that goes) would mix and pour concrete sidwalks that will connect many of the buildings at the orphanage. That's were the team is staying at. While we are there, we will enjoy the time spent with the children as we share God's love through music, drama, puppets and testimonies. We will also be able to visit the nearby caves where Mary and Joseph stayed with the Christ Child during our free time. (I got all of this from the teen missions magazine) The only problem, is getting the money to go. It costs $3590, and you have to get money for passports.

Something interesting came to me today. During our church's service today, out Pastor was talking about running away from God, and how you can go anywhere in the world, but he will still be there. But somewhere in there, he mentioned that Jonah had to walk 2,500 miles or something like that, but he never made it. Anyway, it made me think about walking nowadays. When I walk to church, and I'm a block away, I think 'Oh thank you, I'm almost there!' and that's less than a mile. Back then, people didn't have bikes or cars or anything like that and had to walk everywhere they went. How did they do it?!

I got my permit yesterday! Third times the charm. I am so happy. I'll probably start off with driving down 45th and in parking lots.
