The Highschool Retreat

OK well first off, the highschool retreat was awesome overall i think i got a lot out of it. I liked being away from all the electronic stuff I usually use like computer, TV, cell phone etc.. It was cool to just hang out with people and spend time with God at the same time.

Every morning we would have like 45 mins to just spend time alone with God. So i went up on this cliff thing to do my devotions and pray. Just being on that cliff and looking down at all the trees and even the ocean I was thinking wow I never take much time to think that God created all this! A lot of time people just go on this cliff and think oh yea this is cool but don't take time to think about God in all that.So that was pretty cool for me... and also another thing we did during one of the lessons was to invite God to do things in your life and we wrote them down on a card. I wrote "God I invite you to have a relationship withe me outside of church not just in it, Show me that your real and show me you love me when it feels like no one else does" I think everything I wrote down happened or is in the process of happening,which is great! Im gonna try harder to spend more time in Gods word and about the showing me thats God is real thing, I was talking to Shane about a lot of different things and after about 2 hours of asking questions I think i have a much better understanding of it, and as far as the last thing goes,feeling loved, when i didn't feel loved i think God showed me that love through my leaders and friends during the retreat.

And as for the rest of the retreat! I remember the first night it took us forever to go to bed cuz no one was tired but the second day we went to the beach and then came back and played games so we were dead tired that night and the next morning! Then Thursday we went to wild rivers and had an awesome time there! Katie brought Micah too, he is so cute! I remember when we were eating lunch i was eating a cookie and Micah wanted some so i gave him a piece and then Ainsley comes up and grabs a huge chunk off my cookie! i was like ok then,haha... and to finish off the retreat we played ultimate frisbee! which was awesome! we also played Mafia like everyday of the retreat which was awesome because in junior high the guys always play by themselves in there tent so i never get to play but this time i did! most of the time i was the first one to die though and i think 70% of the time(at least) i was a citizen so they had something against me haha, anyway this whole retreat was awesome and Im so glad that I went!

Is it just me or...?

...did blogger totally die for everyone? I mean come on no one comments and no one ever posts anything new!? whats the point? seriously guys get a facebook or email me, i need more people to talk to! haha

Need Prayer...

I know its late but I cant sleep and i have to write this while its on my mind... I'm having major friend problems, I have a friend that criticizes me a lot and mostly in front of people so everyone starts talking about it when im standing right there, I really can't stand it and I've told them that they do this and they just say I get mad too easy and go on and on about that which makes it worse, I dont try to get mad or sad that easy but it just happens and obviously(like ive said in other posts) i dont act mad or sad when im around other people, just when im alone.. I really wish I wasnt friends with them anymore but I just can't do that, I cant explain why but its just not an option.. anyways sorry i sound depressed all the time(well some people say that) but im just going thru way too much, please just pray for me I really need it, this doesnt look like its getting any better

Need Prayer

Both my grandpas are in the hospital. My grandpa on my dad's side(who is 80 something) fell and hurt his back and may need to be put in a nursing home. He's in the hospital right now.. and my grandpa on my moms side has a blocked artery in his heart and he needs to have open heart surgery on it tomorrow, there also something with his leg to not sure about that... but anyway the doctor said if he doesnt stop smoking completly it could be fatal, because thats why he needs heart surgery...so please pray for both of them
