WYLDLIFE

Wooo first Wyldlife club tomorrow!! SO EXCITED. Please pray for me because I am fighting a cold and I have barely enough energy to sit through class (I guess I don't have a ton of energy in class as it is, I'm barely surviving senioritis ;) and I will definitely need a lot A LOT of energy tomorrow night. I've heard the junior highers are stoked on life (aka crazy). So if you think of it, please pray for an abundance of energy :)


Also, thank you to everyone who has been reading and commenting on my blog. I appreciate you and your comments :D

hi I'm back and my life is CRAZY

HI I sincerely apologize for not blogging. I have been so busy...but even that is not an excuse since we are ALL busy ALL the time. So I guess that means I have no excuse. Welp. Anyway, I'm really stoked on life right now. I have a lot on my plate already and a lot to look forward too. This semester I have been engaged in some really tough classes. AP Government is tedious and has been self-depreciating of my knowledge of the United States government. BUT I am learning and that is a pretty good start, especially seeing as I will be able to vote this coming November (whoa...) and I should probably know something about politics;). As for my other classes I am taking AP English which has definitely been my favorite English class that I have ever had. For one thing it is by far the smallest class I've had in all of high school--seventeen people!!!!!!!--and for another my teacher is incredibly WEIRD. I think that's probably the best part of the class. He is very though provoking and blatant about everything. It's awesome and I'm glad to be in his class for a semester. Woooo...I think he has already influenced me too much haha. SO my last class is Journalism or King's Page, as the San Marcos students call it. I was originally in yearbook but I randomly decided I wanted to try something new. I have never taken Journalism and I think it will be a great skill for me to have later on in life. I LOVE TO WRITE (as you may or may not noticed from this blog). I have thoroughly enjoyed learning a new form of writing and I hope to write more than one article this semester (you may be thinking that is a pretty weak goal, but I say that because I have only written one article as of now:). If you have any article topic suggestions, please feel free to comment below :D I am very happy about my schedule..however my classes are not the real reason I am so stoked on this semester. Starting very soon I will be taking on the awesome role of being a leader for Wyldlife (Younglife for Jr. Highers). During a Wyldlife meeting all of us potenial Wyldlife leaders were given the option of serving at the La Colina Club or the club on the Eastside. Almost immediately I felt God pushing me to commit to the Eastside club; I felt like he was telling me to take a risk and try something new. Working with boys and girls club has been on my heart for awhile, but I never fed my desire. Fortunately, God was looking out for me; He has provided the opportunity to hang out and teach Jr. Highers about Jesus and I AM STOKED. Of course, I will keep you updated. I will. And if I do not, you have been given permission to ask me about it :D This post is becoming very long. So out of the goodness of my heart I will save the rest of the exciting ideas that I have in my head and down the road for another post :)..To be continued...
