SISTERS

So the past few weeks in youth we've been talking about children and how we should be more like a child in our walk with God. I have been really thinking about my little sister lately and how she really is a great kid and how much I need to learn from her. Even though she can sometimes get on all of our nerves, she always has a positive attitude and hates it when Bailey and I ever disagree on anything. I work in E-Kids at Hope Community Church and have really changed just by watching the children. Most of the kids during worship really seem to be getting it. They are never afraid to come up to the alter and pray, they always give offering, and are so willing to help out with anything that needs to be done. 
There are two big differences I see between children and adults. First of all, adults are always soooo stressed all the time (especially teens when school starts) but kids just go through life having fun and being happy. I mean, with Reagan if you just keep her fed and she gets enough sleep she's as giddy as can be for the whole day. I think we need to always ask ourselves if we are too stressed in life, and if we need to slow down and pay attention to the important things like God and family.
The other big difference is that I see children all the time who are so willing to just be themselves. This is a BIG one for teens because we're always trying to be someone else. Children don't care at all what other people think, they just accept themselves and accept others who need to be accepted. Thats another thing, children are SO accepting of people! Even if another kid doesn't have to coolest clothes or is really shy, kids accept everyone for who they are. 
It's really crazy how much we never think about how special kids are. There is no doubt in kids lives, they know God is real and they are willing to just be with him. The children need to be are role models, not the other way around.  


These are some pictures I took with my AWESOME sister Reagan....

Wisdom Teeth Removal

So today i got my wisdom teeth out and it was not fun! I went in their and sat down on the chair of death and started crying because I was so scared! It was soooo embarassing! Then the doctor gave me some stuff that made my whole body tingle and made me black out but i was still conscience. He then asked me if I was still awake and I couldn't answer because it was like an out of body experience. He then proceeded to ask the nurse to get the scapel! I was like... ummm..... im still awake that is the last thing I remember when I fell asleep. Right now I feel fine and I even went to walmart just a second ago but my face is swollen! As you can see from the picture below. Dont make fun of me!!!
