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...


In case your brain has melted from so much reading, please ponder these photos from my life

happiest day of my life!

So on the happiest day of my life (two days ago) I stumbled upon the best blog known to mankind belonging to the one, the only, THE DAVE BARNES. As you can imagine, I jumped for joy (and dave) when I saw this and immediately proceeded to bookmark it :) I have found, today especially, that dave barnes is the best remedy for a bad day (or any day really). If you don't know dave (heaven forbid!), you will certainly understand why I love him so much after reading his blog.
