Spring Camp

Well this last weekend was my youth group's spring camp, and for the smallest camp I've ever been to it wasn't so bad after all. Friday night we all met at Harriet's house for prayer then to head out. The camp was an hour away. Well when we got there I was surprised at the size of the camp. I was told it was small and there wasn't going to be much to do but when all there was was one building only the size 1 1/2 of my house and a baseball field outside my jaw dropped. After we all got settled in and found places to sleep we had the first afterglow. Brent told us to that we needed to get right with each other if there was anything we had against anyone in the group and to prepare our hearts for the Holy Spirit to come over the weekend. It was pretty cool to see people getting right with each other and with God. After that we pretty much all went to bed.

Saturday morning we had our walk with God and then our morning lesson. During our walk with God we had a sheet of paper with some questions and verses on it that we were to answer and go over during the lesson. All weekend Jimmy Kotow (the speaker) spoke on the Holy Spirit and told us many things about the Holy Spirit that we didn't even know. Then Brent split us up into buzz groups. I was the leader of my buzz group and in my group I had Alysha, June, Rachel, Jeremiah, and Seth. We discussed things about the lesson and the Holy Spirit. Then after all the groups were done we all came back together and shared what we had discussed in our groups. If we had any questions, Jimmy Kotow would answer them. During free time Dave and Parker showed up and stayed for most of the day. After free time was over we had stunt night and then the drama group (Which I was in) preformed for the first time in front of an audience "Everything". It went well. Then we had afterglow and it was awesome! People were healed and touched by the Spirit. It was really good. That night when everyone went to bed I pretty much just stayed up with the adults and watched them play cards and talk.

The next day was pretty close to the same thing but without the stunt night. And, oh, my mom came as well as David this time. At the afterglow, Jimmy Kotow asked for those who wanted a touch from God & everyone went up. Then he asked who wanted to be saved, 4 people prayer for salvation. Then he had the people who wanted to make a stand, to dedicate their lives to God, and to being used by God to come up. I was surprised at how many people came up for each. It was really cool. Later that night we played Jail Break in the dark but it got boring so I kind of quit. I went and sat in on a group discussion Casey was having, which was pretty cool. I got to see what they thought about some things in the Bible and church and what I thought about the situation. Then after that I basically called it a night.

Monday we all shared what we thought about the weekend and what we liked about it. and then it was pack up and clean up time. When we were done packing, we played some volleyball during the time we had left before we had to go. Then Rusty showed up and we headed home. Over all it was a good weekend and I can't wait till next camp. Here are some pictures my mom and brother took over the weekend.

Mother's Day and the week

Well last week Alyssa and Kia came over for the week because their parents were out of town. I wasn't really home much this week but here are some pictures of what we did when I was around.

Kia decided to cover me in pillows every morning

Moose playing the piano with Kia.

Kia attacking moose.

Kia wanted to join me for school. or something like that.

Yet another attack of the pillows. Yeah I'm in there.

This was the only picture we got of Alyssa.

And that's about all we have from that. It was fun I guess. and they left on Thursday.
And today was Mothers Day. At church the mothers all went to the front and all the youth got their gifts and took them up to the mothers. They all got a mug and a book to go with it. Then after church we went home and had the greatest dinner. We had steak, French bread that my dad made, and salad. And cake for dessert. Then basically the rest of the day I slept. So thats whats been going on around here.

I just wanted to let you all know that i haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I am still here. There just hasn't really been that much going on to post about. I'm working on a post about our late Easter but i need to get into my mothers screen to get the pictures I am trying to post. so when i can I'll post about that. That's about all, I just wanted to let you all know that that is why i haven't been posting lately.

Drama Team

So recently my youth group has started our first "drama team". Which has kinda of taken over our soul survivors team which Johnny was leading but kinda of died when he graduated. So now we have a drama team which is lead by Andrea. We had our first meeting last Saturday and we are meeting ever Thursday before youth group and every other Saturday morning. I was kind of amazed at the amount of people we had come to do the drama/human video Saturday because not many kids would do it at camp's skit night. But we had about ten people from our youth group that showed up and participated. the drama we are working on right now is Everything by Lifehouse and I play both the back up Jesus after Kam Kam and the boyfriend in it. You can see what parts I play and the rest of the drama at....

So take a look at it and I hope you enjoy it and maybe when we actually preform it I'll tape it and post it.

Busy

Busy is a good thing for me. I like being busy because I'm never bored when I'm busy and the last couple weeks have been busy for me. First was 2 Saturdays ago me; Kam, Brent, and Jonny delivered Easter baskets to people and prayed for them as an out reach project for the month. When that was over we went to John T's 16th birthday party. We played basketball and as always my team won. And I would have won at football as well but I didn't have an extra shirt to get muddy so I didn't play. but I still had fun.That Sunday it was Easter Sunday and of course that was fun because I basically had the whole day to play basketball and "schooled" everyone I played. ;) Aunt Jacque came and we had Easter dinner here this year because Grandma was down with Grandma Helen in Tennessee(we are having it with her in April). Then the rest of the week I worked on finishing my Biology for the year(which I did:] ). On Saturday I went to work for Mr. Puskarich till 3:30 in the afternoon. When I got home I got a call from my friend Kalyn saying that we were going have a youth party at Kam's house. So I went to that and my team dominated at basketball there. After I got picked up from there I went to my friend KC's 16th birthday party till 11. Sunday I basically had nothing to but church so my neighbors came over and we played soccer and basketball till dark. Monday I had Go Time as usual and found out I was going to speak today at another youth group Brent has on Tuesdays. So today after school and some basketball, Brent picked me up and I gave a my devotion and he gave the lesson. So that was pretty much it for this week. Tomorrow I'm working again for Mr. Puskarich and going bowling, Thursday we are having a all night worship thing at youth group, Friday I Might be going to see NewsBoys in concert so that will be cool, and then Saturday I have drama Practice with the youth and a party to go to. So thats about it.
