1 week til Lent

I am giving up buying scrapbook suppplies, and since i dont eat meat my extra friday sacrifice for each frieday will be no snacks. i am also gonna try to start exercising! and get back to reading my bible every day.

lifeteen!!!!!

Tonight we learned about the Holy Trinity. We learned two fun Greek words, ousia, meaning nature, and hypostasis, meaning person. The Trinity is one ousia, three hypostasis. Chad was the speaker for the night, and he did a fabulous job. We played a fun 6-legged race (with three people, for the Trinity!). I was one of the volunteers for the race. It was really fun, and we had to hobble, jump, hop, etc. around the tables and at three separate points sing a song (I love you, you love me; I'm a little teapot; and Itsy bitsy spider). After a further in-depth lesson about the Trinity, we played a game of This or That to get into our small groups. In our small groups, we discussed our favorite Person in the Trinity, as well as the Person we have the hardest time understanding. When we were all back in the gym, we sang some Trinity-inspired songs and said a prayer to the People of the Trinity. Afterwards, we had a delicious dinner and some of us stayed around talking for a while before we went home. It was a wonderful life night!

lifeteen!

it went great....once i write my review i will post it here!

Baptism!

Today my cousin will be baptized1 I am so excited to go and watch her become a member of God's family!!!!!! I do kinda wish I was the godmother, but thats OK. Haha. Well I have lifeteen tonight! yay!!!!!!

For God So Loved The World

OK, so as far as I know....theres lots of depressed girls out there tonight without a date for valentines day. haha but ya know what? i have chosen to NOT be depressed today and make JESUS my date! yay me! so before I go to sleep tonight(other than taking a shower and trying to get my hair to dry so i can straighten it for the baptism tomorrow!) i am going to read my Bible(the Love Chapter, of course!)!!!!!! And take a few minutes to think about John 3:16. It is perhaps the most universally known verse in the entire Bible. If we just take a second to think about it, we realize that this is the greatest act of love to ever befall mankind. Contemplation, yes, is the hardest part of prayer....for anyone! Trying to not think of anything else....hard! But if you went to Steubie last summer....at least the ones in Steubenville....you will probably know what I am talking about. The Picture. You know the one. During Saturday nite Adoration. The picture of Jesus with big open arms on the blue and white background???? Thats the picture I always envision!!!!! So everybody, Happy Valentines Day!!!!! XOXO

Lifeteen Blog

I hope the technology person emails me back soon so I can get one set up. it will be great forour youth group to have a blog!!!!! and yes anyone else can read it too LOL.

...

my brother broke his thumb so please pray for him!!!!

he loved her!!!!!

OK, so if you havent seen the movie Here on Earth you must. And thisis kinda a spoiler, just so ya know. So this girl....she had cancer. Jasper loved Samantha, even though he KNEW she would die, because it was incurable. But she fell in love with a college boy, and he loved her, but then he found out she had cancer, and left. He did come back after realizing how much he did love her though, and spoke at her funeral. But before she died, Jasper(boyfriend who loved her more thananything) told Kelley(college guy) that Sam needed him (Kelley), and even though it hurt him so bad to see them together, he knew she loved Kelley, and that was what was best for her. Jasper loved Sam SO MUCH, that he let her love someone else. I want a love like that.

wow!

I have readers from like 7 different countries!!!!!!

lifeteen;-)

last nites lifeteen was awesome! we learned about how aith is like a river, leading to the Ocean of God. we had a water boat race. the USS MAHJ flipped over;-)

Lifeteen!

Tonight we are learning about "faith as our response to Christ". I am excited! I missed not going last week! Lifeteen ROCKS!

First Fridays

First Fridays are the first friday of the month, and many churches have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at these times. The churches try to organize it so there is always someone with Jesus, usually each person goes for an hour. Although it would have een easier to pray if my brother didnt ask me 20 times if we were leaving yet! i wish he would get more into church and all. Same with my sister.

First Fridays

so we have signed up to do First Fridays! I like it alot. we do from 2-3. they had these really cool booklets out so I took one home they were called meditaion in front of the blessed sacrament!!!!

from Anonymous

when I asked for post ideas, I got this from "Anonymous"...
I think it means; loving a person, giving your whole self to that person and asking for nothing in return. When the other person loved, knows why they are loved, they return that love with their whole heart.

Thanks Anonymous! That was very insightful;-) I like!!!!! Actually, I love!!!!!

I believe in happy endings

I believe everyone has a fairy tale ending out there for them. All they have to do is make it happen.

love never fails

I remember reading in a forward from a friend"Just because two people fight,it doesnt mean they dont love each other." Love is never just there. it is something one needs to work on.

Lent

hey what are you giving up?
me? snacks after dinner and buying scrapbook stuff!

love!!!!!!!!!

now I am asking your opinion....any ideas for posts on love you would like to see?

Love Chapter

Tonight I encourage all of you to read the Love Chapter (1 Corinthians chapter 13). Its my favorite chapter in the Bible;-)

I'm in love

Really and truly!
With little Madilynn Grace.
Yep;-)

GOD LOVES YOU!

This is the first and most important love ever;-)
