30 hour famine

So, the 30 hour famine was awesome.  For those of you who did not here I did something called the 30 hour famine, we camped in cardboard boxes and fasted for 30 hours.  We started by outing our boxes together, then we had a quiet time to read our bibles and stuff.  We had some free time, and we played games like we did a scavenger hunt, (because people in poverty often have to scavenge for food) we also did his game where we had to go a crossed a pond to get boxes and bring them back (because some times people in other country's have to go a crossed a river or flood water to get medical supply's), we also played hide and seek tag (because in some country's there is lots or violence so people are having to hide a lot).  After all that we had a book study which we have been doing for weeks but this was the last time.  Than we had some worship time, one of the girls brought there guitar for that.  The next morning we did this thing called project 127 which we do every month where we go help elderly people in our church.  After that it was finally time to break the fast.  We had soup, fruit, cheese and crackers.

Amazing God

Hey everyone, I wanted to share some of the stuff I've been reading about.

Some people say "God never existed."  How can that be though?  If you think about it it does not make sence.  How would a universe just creat it's self?  Watch this video, it's called the awe factor of God.

What did you think about that? It's just amazing.  How could nothing make that?  How about how trees start as little tiny seeds and grow and grow and sometimes become really big.  Even things as simple as a flower, think of how beautiful flowers are how would that just make it's self?  God is Amazing.

If you have any questions about this just leave me a comment.

30 hour famine

Hi everyone!

So I'm doing this thing called World Visions 30 hour famine.  I will be fasting for 30 hours and sleeping outside in boxes.  The reason we are doing this is to feel what it is like to be in poverty, and although I will probably never know for real what it feels like this will give me an idea.  In Addison to fasting I'm also raising funds for people in poverty.  It's hard to believe that $1.25 will feed and care for a kid for a hole day.  Just think of how much you would spend to buy lunch at a resterunt, even if it is just fast food.  That is usually at least twice as much as the need for a day.

So I'm going to challenge you to fast and pray for these people in poverty with me.  If you are willing to take the challenge than the date I am doing it is April 18, if you can't do it then you can always do it another day.  I will be starting at 9Am again if you can't start then than start when you can.  Also, get your friends to do it with you Even camp out in boxes if you want.  Just remember to pray for those people around the world in poverty.  And I would love to know if you are going to do the 30 hour famine, and let me know how it went for you.

New Baby

Hi everyone.

She likes to sleep on me a lot like this.

All my other sibling are all getting so big Avery is 5 now and she 

Looks so much older,with her hair curled.

She is just so cute!

We got the Disney movie frozen and that is pretty much all of my sisters favorite movie, they sing all the songs all day every day and honestly I'm sick of it even though I sing them too :) I love that movie.  But the movie I love more is Gods not dead.  We went to see that one in theaters and it was really good and now my favorite movie.  If you have seen it you should know why I love it so much.  

We'll sorry I've not posted in so long I will try to update more I've just been really busy.
