Sorry I haven't Written in a while...

Hey sorry I haven't written in a while. I was at San Jose watching my sister play softball. She has been going to Louisiana Tech College in, well, you guess where it is. :) Whenever she comes over to the west half of the US, we usually try to be there and see her!By the way, that picture I took is of my sister playing in San Jose! She's so good it's almost amazing! You can tell she will hit it can't you? Well she did! She got a double. She got all the way to third, but she sort of stole that base. But still, that was an awesome at bat and she just kept on hitting it! Even if she struck out, I thought she was really good because she would strive for any ball. Sometimes it's hard to hit the ball with the umpire's funky strike zone! ;)

Kylie was really good at fielding too. She was always down and ready for anything that would unexpectedly come her way. Went the ball was hit ti her, she would throw it as fast and accurately as she could to the right person to get them out! The position she was playing, second base, was really hard on her knee, but she didn't complain! She just worked and worked until she was able to go off the field!

She rolled her ankle, but she never complained. She got taken off the field and she actually wanted to keep playing! Yeah, that's my sister; strong, independent, reliable, and sometimes random.
I love her for that! Love ya KY!

God Blesses Us with things we take for granted

Today, we had a speaker talk to our school. She told us how careful we have to be with our bodies in cars, bicycle, and etc. You never know when there will be an accident in a car. She told us not to call them accidents because, would a drunk driver say to a family who he killed their daughter, "It was an accident. I'm sorry." No. He had the choice to get drunk or not, a choice to go to that friend's home, a choice to go to that party. He had a choice to choose those type of friends. Is that an accident? Nope, not at any time is it an accident. The lady that talked to us told us that she was paralyzed from the waist down. She broke her vertebra in a car accident because she didn't have her seat belt on. That also caused her little sister to get killed from head trauma right next to her. The girl went to the hospital, being paralyzed all around. The only way to communicate was blinking; one blink for yes, two blinks for no. This showed me how fortunate we are to have our legs move, our eyes blinking, our fingers fiddling. God gives us all of the fantastic abilities and we take them for granted. Have you ever seen anybody in a wheelchair? They can't go to the bathroom by themselves, they can't walk. Walking is such a great ability. I lets us run and kick and play too! we need to thank God for that! He gives us the ability to take pictures, to smile. That one move of a finger to press that little button on a camera, some people can't do that. Some people have breathing disabilities. Some people won't live as long as us. Us as Christians need to not only help people without the abilities that we have, but thank and praise God for what he does for us.

God is AMAZING with what he does and just we need to rejoice that and use his abilities. He gave you your own special ability; NOBODY else has that and you need to show God through that ability. Please remember that. So... ya I guess what I'm trying toi say is we're SO fortunate with what we have and we cannot take that granted. Embrace it!!

Hey!

Hey! Just this morning, my friend, Ben posted a FANTASTIC blog about God and how great he is. Well, I'm going to tell you a story that helps me rely more on God.
Well everybody at my school is wearing makeup. My parents don't let me wear makeup and to be honest, I don't want to wear makeup. Plus, when everybody wears makeup, everybody looks the same. I don't wanna look the same as other people. And whenever I don't feel pretty or perfect, I always look up my favorite verse in the Bible talking about all of God's daughters. It uplifts me so much and is just such an inspiration:
Psalm 45:10-11
Listen, daughter, pay attention and consider: forget you people and your father's house, and the king will desire your beauty. Bow down to him, for he is your lord.
Wow
That is all I can say. This is such a STRONG and POWERFUL verse! It's pretty much saying to forget about everything in your life even your father's home because the king, Jesus Christ, wants to desire your beauty! He thinks that I am so beautiful because he made me and he wants to see his masterpiece!
That to me is my absolute favorite verse! Thank you for reading God Bless.
Whoops i almost forgot, my black eye became a good use for the Lord. People will ask what happened and I'll say that I got hit with a dodge ball at church. I'm hoping that people will think. "You can play dodge ball oat your church?" So that's how I can embrace my Chritianity and it's really true that
God has a reason for EVERYTHING. :)

Soccer

Hey! Hows life? I know mine's good! I had soccer try-outs for my soccer team. There has been a really bad confusion lately: I play on a AA-A team, but I'm getting recruited onto a Premier team. This is why I'm telling you this...
The coach for the Premier team, Holland, has been watching me play for a while. He let me practice with his team every chance I had. Two months ago, he said that I was on his team, but to tell NOBODY. My coach, Kim, didn't even know! So I had to keep my mouth SHUT!!!
So today I had try-outs for my team that I play on right now; Kim's team. I still had to try out because nobody knew that I had gone onto Holland's team. So I was playing forward and then I cut by all of the girl and shot the ball. Holland yelled "That's why you're on my team next year!" with his British accent,"Go on!" I couldn't believe it! He spilled the beans!
So after, when I was on the sidelines, everybody came up to me and yelling. I couldn't believe it! They were furious! Well they asked me a ton of questions like why I'd ever want to be on Hollands team and I'd only be sitting on the bench the whole time. The only answer I could find was "I need to get better if I want to be good." So everybody is mad at me, but I'm okay with it. I'm doing the right thing. Moving up to a premier team. I don't care if I have to sit on the bench all game, I'm getting better just by practicing with them! So I'm not going to listen to the complaints my teammates have. I do feel bad for them, but I have to do this if I want to get better!
Well, school try outs are coming up. I'm gonna be ready for them! Ahh! So exciting! Hopefully I do well and not score a goal on my own team this time! well wish me luck! Bye!!
