Revival

Dear Readers,

This past 4 days Sun-Wed we had Life Action Revival at our church.
Pastor Ryan (that's what I call him)was such a good speaker he was funny and he really got the point across without yelling at you. "Give Give Give" is what he taught. He did this little demonstration with M & M, those of you who were there know what I am going to say. ;)
Pastor Ben (another speaker) went around and passed out a couple of M & M's to a few early people in the front, 4 of them being TJ, Leighanna, my Mother and I. We knew there was some sort of legitimate reason that he was passing them out he wasn't just sharing. Soooo later on in the service Pastor Ryan jokingly yelled at those who got the M & M's he said. "Those of you who ate a third of my bag of M & M's stand up." Then he said something to this affect "Those of you who got M & M's from the crooks who stole my M & M's." NO ONE stood up! Everyone in my family except Daddy got M & M's. It was so weird because I usually share with people and for some strange reason God didn't put it in my mind to share them. During the funny episode Mark Witherell went up and nelt at the alter (stairs) and acted like he was repenting because he didn't share his M & M's. He did that all by himself without being asked to....it was something you had to be there to understand. (For those of you who weren't there.) Then Pastor Ryan got serious and started talking about how people of the earth don't share or give like they should.
Luke was our teen speaker and he was so good he got the point across without having to forcefully drilling it into your head.
He really opened my eyes to things I desperately need to change in my life.
He talked about forgiveness and how you need to do it even if you don't want to do it.
I had 3 people I needed to forgive and it was sooooooo extremely hard for me but I said
"God I really really don't want to do this but I am choosing to forgive these 3 people who have hurt me, please help me realize when I start complaining about them I have forgave them even though it may be really hard."
Luke was a really good teacher he really listened to you when you needed prayer or something or when you just need to talk to someone. He looked like he would be a good friend to have.
Well I guess that is it other than I am really depressed that they left because we now have t go back to our old boring routine....JJ I don't really mean that. ;)

We just got done putting up all our Fall decorations and everything looks so pretty now. We just got done eating dinner with Peepa, Meema and Aunt Terri for Peepa's birthday. It was fun.

Hi

Hi Everyone,

I have a couple of minutes before I go to choir so I thought I would write something.
Sorry I haven't written anything in awhile it's just because school has started up again ;P Also as you know I am in the 8Th grade now, and every year the school work gets harder.
Well It is now Friday and I really didn't get to write something before I went to choir. But I did want to tell you about Wednesday night.
On the cool summer days or just the cool days I sleep with my window open. It is right beside my bed so when we have the attic fan on it sucks in the air and cools or room down tremendously. Anyway I was having a hard time falling asleep so I kept tossing and turning and then I finally got comfortable, laying on my stomach and my head under my pillow because of the sound of almost all of my cats running up and down the hall way running in my room jumping on my dresser and knocking everything of it, WAS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!!Ahem, OK now where did I leave off. Oh yes so right when I was JUST about to fall asleep the Coy-Dogs started barking and howling. At first it really freaked me out because I didn't know what it was. So I just sat there huddling under my blankets. But when I finally realized what it was I took my head out from underneath my pillow and sat there just listening to them and it was really relaxing and I finally fell asleep.

Thanks for reading:)
