'Cuse It Up!

Well my title may confuse some people not knowing what it means but in Syracuse it means Lets Go Syracuse!:) Today I went to my first Syracuse basketball game with tickets I won from school with my older sister Hannah. It was so much fun as well as a great game. We played and won against Marquette! We both had a great time! I think one of the highlights was doing the wave about 3 or 4 times in a row! It was also great because at first we were so far ahead and then they caught up after half time. At one point they were only 2 points behind but never got ahead. We won with a pretty close score, maybe 6-10 points ahead. It was fantastic! I won the tickets the day before Christmas break. What we did was bring in canned foods that were delivered to a food shelter. Your name got put in a hat 1 time for every can you brought in. At the end of the day the whole school went to the auditorium to play the Price is Right, a TV game show. Long story short, my name got picked, I got some prices right, and won SU men's basketball tickets and a parking pass and the seats were great! I had a great time as I can imagine so did many other people did! 'Cuse it Up!!!!

New Year!

It's finally 2012, a new year! For me, the new year is always great. The new year is a time to put aside the past. I love God everyday and moment but for me the new year is like a new start with Him. He will always forgive you of your sins. In the past I have always tried to start a Bible reading schedule and this year I finally am and my new years resolution is to finish reading it.:) Well I want to know your New Years Resolution! Answer in a comment if you want! Happy New Year!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Well today was Christmas 2011! It only comes once. I hope everyone had a great day. My day was great as I can imagine most of yours were. There are many people who didn't though. Many people don't get to enjoy the holidays because they are alone, don't have a home, and many more reasons. I think we should reach out to those people. I've actually thought of ways I could do this all year around. It only takes a little effort for a group of people to help a less fortunate group of people. By this I don't just mean help them with food and money for a while, I mean do this while telling them about our only chance of eternal life, Jesus Christ. Tell them about Jesus and what he did for us, what God gave us, why we should trust in him. Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me" John 14:6. Maybe by next Christmas we can get a group of  people to help a less fortunate group of people, spiritually!

Merry Christmas!

Witnessing your faith

I think I've said this before, I'll say it again, I hate being sick! I came home from a church Christmas party not feeling too well. I woke up this morning not any better so I didn't go to school. I'm feeling better though thankfully. So last night I was looking at posts on my Ipod that my friends re-posted. One really caught my attention. I won't tell you the whole thing but I will write some of it.

" Why do we fall asleep during church but stay awake during a 3 hour movie? Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity but so hard to engage in God? Why do people laugh at you for being religious but put praise you for being dirty and vain? Why is it so easy to purchase drugs and not donate 25 cents to charity? Why is it so easy to brag about clothes, family, money, but not that you have Jesus Christ as a savior? Why is it so hard to talk about God but so easy to talk about dirty things? Jesus said "If you deny me in front of your friends, I will deny you in front of my father."

These are things I wonder myself very often. Have you been witnessing about your faith?

Well even though you can't tell in New York, Christmas is just around the corner! Christmas is a week from tomorrow and theres no snow here in Lafayette. Some people are happy(the rest of my family) but as for me, I'd rather have a white Christmas. But I'm doing pretty well accepting the fact. I've realized  that people get way to wrapped up in whats not important about Christmas. They believe more in santa, snow, decorations, and especially presents! I, as a 12 year old know how hard it is not to get too wrapped up in those things but I always remember that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. He wasn't just some man that was born and could heal people. Jesus was a man that lived to die, was sent to save us from our sins. Even though that sounds more like Easter than Christmas, it is part of Christmas. The other night a couple of my friends and I were listinging to a song called Amazing Love on youtube. The video portion of the song was a short clip from the movie Passion of the Cross. This movie is about the death of Jesus and the ressurection. As a tear rolled down our faces while watching this, I looked at our Christmas tree, knowing that I was full of sin that Jesus never had. I as a Christan feel it important to tell others about Jesus and being a better Christian in my walk with Christ. This year, when your opening presents with your family, don't forget the real meanting of CHRISTmas!
