The Famine and Its Amazingness! :)


This past weekend was the 30 Hour Famine. This year it really hit home for some reason. I found myself definitely getting torn up by the Invisible Children Movie.

It made me realize how Misinformed our country is about this problem. It's a HUGE problem, and to see our Country just look past it or say we can't accomplish that absolutely tears me inside.
But the simple fact is, is that we CAN accomplish it. As said many times this past weekend. We have the Cash, Science, Drugs. But do we have the Will power?

I know I can't end world hunger, but I can help and you can too. I encourage you to go to www.invisiblechildren.com
At least know what is going on. Whether you help or not just take the time to atl east get informed.

Pushed Away

So I feel like I'm being pushed away. Actually I know I am being pushed away.
For the past month or so I've realized that I'm slowly getting pushed away from things. I'm realizing that I am moving on with my life and maybe they just don't really need me anymore.

In a way it upsets me. But a very good friend of mine reminded me that sometimes God puts you in these situations to help others even when you outgrow them.
I guess I just feel like I've outgrown this place. I feel like I'm just ready for another stage in life. I'm just ready to go away and just see what God has put out their for me. My life is going to be so much more then just Knox County. And for that I'm truly thankful.

Growing up

So I went and watched Girls sectionals last night. Realized how much I missed it, but realized that I think I did a mature thing getting out of a situation that put physical and emotional stress on me. Rediculous. And Also made me think wow how many girls would go to the Jr High everyday and work with those basketball players. It made me realize that when I go to coach I can't worry about my problems. This season made me think that I really have to think about these kids first. Think about others before myself. And a lot of younger kids don't get the chance to really do this because they are so self absorbed in their own activities(guilty) But I'm really glad I took on that coaching job. God Blessed me with a great bunch of girls this year. And I'm so thankful that I wasn't just their coach but their friend.

Oh blogging

Oh blogging. I've tried this before. I figure this is a way of helping everyone around me know what is going on. Because well sometimes I just don't really wanna spill it out.

So lets see :)

As some of you may know I have been thinking about applying to be on staff at Indian Creek Baptist Camp. Well I finally received the application(and boy is it thorough lol)

I'm feeling a lot of different emotions around this. I am excited, scared, anxious, nervous and all those good things.
I am excited to see this new experience not only expand my bubble in my Christian walk but also in my other life skills. I am kinda scared just because it would be a new experience and sometimes those can be scary. Anxious because well Its going to be AMAZING!! And Nervous to see if I get the job.

We'll see how these next few months go. Hopefully they go over well. And I get through this HUGE application :)
