They Say..."She Is Unashamed."

Had to post ;) application for "dating my daughter"

Man, this gets me big time! At church, and I start to feel like praying for someone or go give someone a hug and say I love them... Then I think twice and doubt myself. "no, I don't need to do that.." and I keep to myself... Aghh, I felt terrible when I realized I missed that opportunity. But when I DON'T hesitate and I DO go and encourage a sister or another young person, I know God used me I'm learning to not hesitate and trust that it's the right thing to do.

God has spared us each time we fell short of perfection. Every time we have sinned against Him. Every time we disobeyed. He never failed to forgive us.. Over AND over again... We have taken advantage of His mercy. We have relied on the mercy He would show at the end of this "season" of sin. We expected Him. We had it all planned out too... Go to the altar and pray that God would forgive us of our sinful nature.. But then, we sinned again, the same sin... Again, we prayed but this time we knew He would forgive us, so we didn't pray as "hard" or as "sincere".... We went out and sinned again... The same sin! And every time we went back to sin, we took advantage of His mercy when we came back to the altar. There's the pattern. We sin, we ask for forgiveness but then we sin again. Every time we come back to pray and ask God to forgive us, it's like the Blood/forgiveness/mercy looses it's affect on us. :/ Just like when our bodies get used to...

Success!!!! :) (here is a whole bucket load of pictures)

You know those days you have been feeling really discouraged and down on yourself? You've felt it a lot recently I'm guessing.. Always remember that there is a bright sunshine after a cloudy night. But God is still wonderful. Even through that cloudy and stormy night. God is still watching you and protecting you. Wait for the rainbow after the rain. And hey, don't keep these feelings to yourself.. Tell someone about them so that they can encourage you! Trust me friend, it helps! Tell your mentor, a good Godly friend, grandparent, or someone you know who always has something encouraging to say to you. Because you can't go through it alone. You do need your friends, the church, and God..

I have not had THAT much fun in SUCH A LONG TIME!!!!! My youth group went to the Fontana youth service and hung out with Whittier and Burbank youth :) My, my, my.... You all should have went to fellowship :)

*insert Meagan's seriously happy nerdy face* :) <3 I signed up for Science Olympiad (2012) and we are finally getting to learn the material over the next month and a half. Our first tournament is March 3rd. :) Extra info: 24 different events ranging from building robots (physics), solving water pollution problem (environmental), solving a crime (forensics), handling chemicals (chemistry), and telling the difference betweeen trees (forestry) AND so much more!!! 15 people per school to compete. Need to be great in 2 subjects in order to have a better chance of winning. Regional, State, and then National. If you didn't already know, or could tell by this post yet, I am a MAJOR science nerd when it comes to Chemistry and Forensics. AND I'm planning on being a science major in college, so :) more the reason to have this to put on a college application. I chose Forensics and Chemistry , both are going to be dealing with labs and chemicals, as my two events. 30 people...
