The other day i was talking with some one and I had told them that my parents think that after a certain age (about 16) it is time to see if you have faith yourself. This person thought that this idea was crazy, and that my parents should have forced us to go to church after 16. The thought of someone disagreeing with me/my parents first of all got me a little upset, and then I started wondering is this right of my parents to do this.

this is my conclusion:

My parents when i was little started my foundation of church, I went to sunday school all the way up to jr. high, which is when i started to really rebel against the Lord and wanted to live the worldly life, BUT my parents still forced me to go to church (even to the point of me crying not to go). Then when I was 16 my parents let me be. I think that it was the best thing for me. I CHOOSE to go or not. My relationship with God is not my parents, and I have that personal relationship with Him. So, I think my parents did the best they can do for me, and I will carry that over for my kids. My faith. I have control of it, I dont live my faith for anyone else. I like that. (:

Sorry, just little ramblings from Me.

Okay, so everybody is telling me to update, and i am going to try to update at least 1 every two days or once a day.

There has alot gone on. umm. lets see.

Well this past weekend was SO MUCH FUN! on Friday i went to Alyssa's and watched movies with all the girls, then on Saturday night it was a night to do GOOD things, and Alyssa hosted a card night, it was so much fun, i dont think i've laughed that hard in a really long time. On Sunday i hung out all day with chelsea and Beca, i really enjoy those girls. We had victories that day, and it is so nice to watch people grow in their faith, and make a CHOICE to do the right thing.

All in all it was a very good weekend.

On monday we started our spiritual gifts, and I got high scores in alot of the different areas. I didnt have just one that i would say is completly me. I really liked it and am excited for next week.

Then on Tuesday, Alyssa Brandy and I took a road trip down to Hollister, and it was SO MUCH FUN! Alyssa is definately a mom when it comes to the camera. She stopped and took pictures of everything! even running across of 152, i will download my pictures and put them on here. it was so nice to see brandy and to meet her boyfriend, i like him a lot.

umm. Last night was church, and i went and hung out with Kare before, that was nice, i love Kare, she is such an amazing person. Then at church danica sang word of God speak, and i was in love! It is my favorite worship song EVER! aww. i love it. After church Danica, Liz, Chelsea, Megan, Beth, and I all went to Starbucks where we hung out like we normally do on Wednesdays. It was a nice week.

Alright well i have to go to work now. I love all of your guys posts! they are so interesting to read! (:

Okay so I'm posting a new post. (:

So today I worked from 11:45-8:15 and I'm pretty sure I could die. Usually on Saturday's my dad gives me a good shift like 9-5 which is great cause you don't have to open the store or close it...but today my dad was short people and I had to do the closing shift.. which makes me tired and i don't want to go out at all.. which leads me to writing this. lol.

Oh last night was the MONSTER TRUCK JAM! and i swear my favorite part was the dinosaur eating the car. pretttty darn funny. I have pictures so I'm going to post them later on in this thing. Thank you to Danica who hung out with me the entire night, we are fun! (:

umm lets see what else..oh I'm going to the snow tomorrow with Karen Kristin Micheal and I think Chelsea. It should be fun.. i just hope i don't get too sore from sledding.

This week has been amazing, i have had so much fun, and i really haven't even done anything, i think its just cause God provides for me in so many ways and he surrounds me with such great people that my life has just been fun. He is amazing, and I just keep thinking to myself, he did all this for me...WOW. if you sit down and think about that you really get tripped out. Jesus died for US. what are you doing to Glorify our God who has already done the very most? I'm really trying to ask myself that everyday, How can i be a better follower of God? which leads me to my next topic....WEDNESDAY NIGHT!

it was amazing! Danica ryan Overton you are an amazing worshiper of God, you are an amazing musician, and an amazing human. I get so moved by you worshiping. I thought Wednesday night went just the way i had been praying it would go. Shay did amazing. It was so uplifting to find all of us just worshiping the God who created us. I really hope that we continue to break though like that. I had so much fun, and was so impressed with everyone! It was so great!

well that all. I'm tired and I'm going to go to sleep. but first i will post pictures from last night!
