  • High School Perspectives.

    Wow!It’s hard to believe I am finally a “big kid”. Ever since I was in kindergarten, high school seemed so far away and impossible.Now that I’m finally there, It’s crazy. I’m totally in a new environment. I’ve always been in a sheltered school and family, but it seems like I’ve been placed into the real…

  • A Moment of Inspiration.

    Beauty Beauty is the fresh dew on a blooming flowerIt is realizing that God, not us, has all-knowing powerBeauty is finding a miracle in every ending day,The sunset beaming through the clouds, exuding its strong raysBeauty is slowing down through a busy day to stop and smell a blossoming roseIt is discovering that you can…

  • 8th Grade Graduation and Moving On….

    I cannot believe I am already graduated and heading to high school. It seems like just yesterday I graduated from kindergarten. It’s amazing how fast time flies.But going to high school…it seems impossible. I have this amazing longing to touch souls while I’m in school next year, and all the years after that. It’s something…

  • With Summer Approaching…

    Wow! This school year has gone by incredibly fast! It hasn’t been the best year, but I still was really blessed. Through the course of this eighth grade year, God has really shown me that I need to be more dependent on Him. I am so excited for high school next year. I believe that…

  • Winter Retreat 2008

    Wow!This past weekend was great! God really moved in me and in our youth group. The time has finally come for all of us to step out in faith believing that God will use us teenagers to do the impossible. I have been waiting for this for a long time now.It feels like a dream.…

  • Another poem about going everywhere.

    This world is amazingBut possessions we are chasingCannot we find fulfillmentFrom within our earthly casing? The Christians in SudanCannot possess as much as they canNor worship like us freelyBut must meet the government’s demand Some young girls in India withinCannot escape the Hindu temple prisonTrapped for years in sadness weepingAnd to the Gospel will have…

  • A Poem About Going Everywhere

    It feels as if we’re in a worldWhere people don’t even care to seeOther people read and learnAbout what Jesus did for you and me Often it seems we’re in a boxNot caring about the world beyondWe only try to help ourselvesAnd for others not grow fond But are we following God’s commandTo go everywhere…

  • On Starting School…

    Well, today was officially the third day of 8th grade at Landmark, and the second for me, and I guess all I’ll say is that it’s interesting. I wish things were how they used to be. I don’t like being the “big kid.”  I like having older kids to look up to, but I guess…
