Can't Go On

Can't Go On, is a song by a group I'm not crazy about...Group 1 Crew. But I love this song. This song is about not being able to live life without the love of Christ, how we dont want to face the world alone. And who could live without Christ's love, or go through the hustle and bustle of the world without God's help everday. I don't know how lost people go through the hectic problems we have without a stable, honest, and faithful shoulder to cry on. But God is so much more than a crying shoulder to us, He not only comforts us, but He helps us out of our troubles. He gives us advice, and provides a way out. We need to make sure that we are relying on God's love everyday, because if we dont we will try to fill the gap with something else. And nothing should take the place of Christ.

Summer Vacation

Summer vacation will be fun, happy, and sad this year for me. I am really happy school is out. I don't have to worry about teachers, homework, or projects for two and a half months. But this summer is the first summer I will have to get a job...if I can find one where I dont have to work on Sundays. (Please pray that God will help me find a job where I can have Sundays off for church, and an atmosphere that isn't filled with trash.)

Also this is the first summer I will not be going to children's camp, which is like a major bummer. I have gone to kids' camp every year since I began going as a camper, about 8 or 9 years ago. The past three years though I was a worker, eithere helping out in the kitchen, with bigger cabins, or with the crafts. I will really miss going this year. Make sure you are praying for their safety on Monday morning when they leave and on Friday afternoon when they head back.

What A Relief It Is

About a week ago, last Thursday, I played for juries. After my date to play had been moved four times! I ended up playing for the nicest professor...Ms. Fernandez. I was the last person to play that day so we ran out of time, and I was very excited to only have to play two of four pieces. But the two pieces I did play were not the better of the two. Overall I think I did pretty well, although I wont know my grade until next Monday. I would like to thank all of you who prayed for me.

True Friendship

How many of you can actually say you have a real true friend? Someone who you can go to with all your problems and know that they will listen and give you good advice. Someone who can also come back to you when they have problems knowing you will help them out. Having a true friend can't be just them being a true friend, because for it to be a true friendship you have to be the same way.
Are you a true friend, if you are you probably have a true friend or in the process of making a true friend, if you aren't you may think you have a true friend but most likely, they are your true friend. You may need to be taught how to be a true friend, and if there is no one around to teach you I will, if you want me too. Or maybe you are a true friend and you just need one, I'm also here for you.

Why aren't you freaking out?

Today in my fourth period, my teacher was absent and we didn't have any assignments, so i pulled out a magazine Bible that I take to school with me. As I was reading in Psalms, one of my friends came up to me, and asked me what I was reading, and I told her I was reading the Bible. She didn't say anything, except every few minutes to make me look at something, like she didn't want me to read the Bible. Until finally she told me that she was agnostic. And I didn't give her some overreacting response, and she sat there like she was waiting on me to freak out. Then she even to asked me why I didn't freak out. I told her that being a Christian wasn't about forcing people to believe in God, cause there is no way I could force her to, that would just push her away. So please pray for her, that I could be a witness to her, and that one day she would get saved. Thank you.

Graciousness

As you all know, i am supposed to play for juries this Friday. You also know that performance would also be very shaky. But God blesses us in many different ways. This time God has not only made my performance a tad bit better, and he also moved my date to play almost a month later! My new date is May 27th. Is that not awesome or what? So now I just need to make sure I stick to practicing. But I would like to thank all of you who prayed for me and for my juries performance.

Juries

Right now I would like to ask you guys to pray for me, that I do well for juries. Many of you probably don't know what juries are...well that is something I have to do for school. I have to go play the piano for a college professor, I will play from memory about 10 songs, and all of my technique and that is in about a week and 3 days. To let you know how I am doing...well I have about 5 songs memorized, 4 in good shape, and 1 that I can't even play! And don't even get me started on how horrible my technique is (which is like scales and arpeggios). Thank you guys so much!
