People like to ask me questions.....
why do you look different than everyone else?
why do you care so much about school?
why do you talk differently?
why don't you go with the flow?
why do you dress differently?
why do you have to go to bed at a certain time?
why do you hang out with different people?
why do you treat others with respect even though they don't deserve it?
why are you independent?
why do you love your parents?
why do you love God?
The answer to all these questions are....because God loves me......and he loves you too!!!!

prayer works

i had never thought once that prayer is something that is so valuable. i had never thought that prayer actually works. i had never thought that when you pray and God agrees that things can happen so fast right in front of your eyes. i never thought any of this until June 29th 2010. on this day one of my friends came to Christ. i had been praying for this person the minute he walked in the door for youth group. knowing nothing about him, i prayed for him. i don't exactly know why i prayed specifically for him. i didn't know what to pray for him, so i decided to pray for his faith in Christ.i think the Holy Spirit was telling me to do so. anyway, i prayed for this boy for a year and a half and then on June 29th, 2010, at Silver Birch Ranch he gave his life to Christ. not only did he give himself away but his actions changed tremendously. i continue to pray for him that he may grow stronger in the Lord day by day.Amen.

people tell me that Jesus is dead. they are right. he's dead in them,although he's surely alive in me. today he is still working in me and he has helped me find others believe that he's alive in them as well.

i'm not a normal kid.

i'm not a normal kid. i do things differently. i dress modestly. i pray before i eat. i have someone by my side at all times. i talk differently. i'm not a normal kid. i hang out with different people. i have my own way of doing things. i go to church on sundays. i stand out. i'm not a normal kid. i don't exactly care what i look like in the mirror i care what's on the inside. i stare. i wonder. i believe. i'm not a normal kid. i know people may laugh and stare. i also know that either way i don't care. i'm not a normal kid.

a girl and her family


i met a girl.not just a girl.a girl who is a little bit different.a girl who has nothing.but gives everything.

i met her brother.a brother that has experienced a lot.doesn't have much.like a room to himself.he sleeps in a room with his 2 sisters.he sleeps in a toddler bed.he's 12.way too big for this bed.but he's content.

i saw her sister.a cute sister. a happy sister.all she wants is to be loved.nothing else.

i met her dad.a dad.has nothing gave everything.a dad who can't wait for the world cup."football"he calls it.although can't find a job to pay the rent on the apartment.but doesn't complain.

i met her mom.a normal mom.loves her children.doesn't have a job either.but doesn't complain.

this family is from Liberia,Africa.near foya.they have just arrived here in the u.s. not to long ago.they speak almost fluent English.this family is one amazing,strong,wonderful family.


interesting facts:

the little girls name is jenneh.

she's my sisters best friend.

in my sisters class.

jenneh's brother Robert goes to my school.

jenneh's mom is going to teach my mom how to make African dishes the right way.

my mom gave jenneh's family some pictures of Liberia when she went in the fall.in one of the pictures there as 2 young girls and a mom selling material.jenneh's mom asked my mom if they lived in foya and my mom replied yes.then jenneh's mom said that she was pretty sure she knew who they were.

the pictures that my mom gave this family are the only memories they have to hold in their hands of where they used to live and the community that surrounded them.

God's Plan

God won't give us more than we can handle. So if you think He's overwhelming you with too much stuff your probably doing too much stuff He doesn't want you to do or He's challenging you. Remember it's His plan, not yours. :)

i need, i wish,i want, i hope

i need an itouch. i wish my parents wont get divorced. i want money. i hope my house isn't foreclosed. i need more cloths. i wish i had a mother and father. i want to go on vacation. i hope my brother isn't drunk. i need a cell phone. i wish i had some where to call home. i want air conditioning. i hope that there's food in the fridge.

what if


what if instead of being born in the united states you were born in the poorest part of africa. your life would be completely different. but it just so happens that God placed you here with plenty of clean water we take for granit. in fact to stick with that matter, most of us just go to the sink with running water and not even have to worry about what type of dirty waste is in it. although God didn't place us here in the U.S. to sit on the couch and watch T.V. or sit in a casino and gammble our money. he placed us here for a BIG reason. you might not know what this reason is yet wether your 5 or 50 but i give you a challenge. try to find out what that BIG reason is. it wouldn't hurt to try, besides once you find out your BIG reason is and actually do it i bet that God will have the biggest smile on his face than ever. so next time you go to the sink to get a glass of water think of this little saying: what if......

katy

in our lives we usually have someone who we look up to. in my case it's katy. she's always there to ta lk to. to draw with. get ideas from. listen to taylor swift songs. eat cinnimon sugar apples. hide letters in the frezzer that my parents havn't found out about yet. you know....stuff like that. or to make it simple: memories that last forever. so thanks katy, for being an incredable person. you've made my life amazingly different.

MOMS


we all have moms.now you might be embrassed by them.you know like when they pull their pants up way above their waste and expect you to do the same.or maybe they will dance to hip hop songs that they really shouldn't even know.but the truth is that even though they might embrass you they love you.i bet their love for you is so strong and wide it expands from one part of the world and back a million times.(even if you don't think so!)

Our Time

Our time together was unforgetable.I will always remember the laughs,the crys,the groans,the moans,but most importianly i will remember the times we spent with one another.

In loving memory of: Kizzy
