Just a little question....
Well, as mentioned before in previous blogs, I've been going to a bible study at school. I'm apostolic and almost everyone else in the room is baptist except for one or two people who are church of Christ and my friends Gracie & Hannah who comes to church with me on Wednesdays. But, I keep feeling like eventually they are going to start talking about other churches and apostolics are going to be apart of that conversation. I know I don't need to worry about that, because I know what to say when that happens. And it will give me a chance to witness to over 30 people. I know that it would be a major point in my life, but what I'm afraid of is that I'll say something that they don't understand. In that situation I think my best options are to pray, think to myself "What would Anna do?", "What would Rebeckah Joy do?", "What would Christina do?", and "What would Jessica do?" I think that if I had to choose people who I most look up to for support, good examples, and who I'd most like to be like.... I'm positive it would be the Link Girls. They are the most wonderfully, amazing people I could ever look to for role models. But I hardly ever get to talk to them. Anna and Beckah are in college, Christina and Jessica are in high school, and I'm still in middle school. I really hope one of them is reading this and have been reading my previous posts. I know that they would know what to tell me in this situation.
Link Girls, if you are reading this, thank you for everything you've done for me. Please leave a comment to help me figure out what I need to do.
I love you Link Girls!!!!!!!!
Thank you for all of your help in my life, I don't know what I would do without you guys!!!!!!

An Idea For A Message
Feed My Sheep
= Jesus said this
John 21:15-19
15. So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas lovest thou me more than these? he saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. he saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16. He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas. Lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17. He saith unto him the third time. Simon, son of Jonas. Lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
18. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old thou shalt stretch forth thy hands and another shall gird thee and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
In these 5 verses Jesus gives us an entire plan for our lives, to feed his sheep and to follow him. When he says sheep you might think he means actual sheep, but you would be wrong. We, the people of God are his sheep. All through the bible it says the Lord is my shepherd. So we know that Jesus is our shepherd and we are his sheep, but what does he mean when he tells Peter to "feed his sheep"? Well, what Jesus told Peter in three simple words is that he has to spread the word of the Lord to all his sheep or his people.
We have to be an ambassador to His sheep, sent by him to get them to him. And a big fact about sheep that an important man once said in a message is that "Where a shepherd goes, the sheep will follow.
When Jesus says "Follow me" he means just what he says, to follow him where ever he may lead you. My Grandmama once told me that to fully understand the bible you must look past the words to see what it really means. I've looked past these words and say that in these five verses Jesus means that even though we need to lead people to him, we can't abandon our relationship with him.
That's a message for you. I hope that was a little encouragement for you, since you can and will lead people to Jesus.

Courageous
Lately, I've been going to a bible study every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The lessons that are being taught are really good, mostly like honoring your parents, spending time with family, obeying, faith, and kindness.
But, yesterday the entire middle school got called into a private little assembly/meeting thing because for the past two days people had been coming to our principal and saying stuff like, "He said this about this person" "She said this, this, this, and this about me", stuff like that. So our principal decided he didn't want to hear about "Middle School Drama", and the next time he heard about it, if you're the person who came and told him that, you whould go to I.S.S (a.k.a In School Suspesion).
The very next day, today, we had a bible study in which we talked about having a pure mouth. Ryan, our bible study leader, showed us the verses Proverbs 21:19, Phillipians 4:8, 1 John 4:19, Colossians 3:9. After we talked about how to keep a pure mouth and how to be a leader to all the other kids in our school who haven't kept a pure mouth. After we were done talking we listened to the song "Courageous" by Casting Crowns. In the first verse it said " We were made to be courageous, We were made to lead the way, We could be the generation that could finally break the chains. We were made to be courageous! Lord make us courageous!" And for the whole year that I've listened to this song and sang the words while starring out a car window, I never once thought about how it could possibly apply to me. Until today, when I listened to it for the 4 millionth time and really truly paid attition to the words that i wwas singing under my breath in a crowded math room. Surrounded by 40 other people who don't even believe what I do. I finally looked passed the catchy lyrics and saw what it really meant. That my generation could finally be the generation that can lead people to the Lord and away for sins, addictions, and temptaions.
THANK YOU CASTING CROWNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phillipians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever thing are true, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Proverbs 12:19
The lip of truth shall be established forever: but a lying tougne is but for a moment.
1 John 4:19
We love him, because he first loved us.
Colossians 3:9
Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds.

Perfect Moments Ruined!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever had a moment, like a once in a life-time moment that gets ruined? By ruined I mean like literally ruined in the worst possible way. Well, that happened to me yesterday!!!!
It started in math. I was sitting by this guy I really like, and the best part of that was he choose to sit there, I was sitting there first and he knew it!!!!! Anyway, this girl sitting on the other side of me starts making a noise that sounds like a dying camel. A DYING CAMEL!!!! How horrible is that? So I look at the guy and say, "If she does stop I'm going to bang my head against this table!" So he looks at me, laughs and says, "You should ask her if she has an off button!" I laugh hard and reply with, "If you want to know you should ask her!" Now, this girl is insane!!! She likes this guy too, but she has a weird way of showing it. What am I talking about? Well, this chick hits people... HARD!! One time she hit me so hard, I wanted to punch her in the face to get even. Back to the story, Guy says, "Do you have an off button?" to Physco Chick. So, she reaches across my computer and punches him!!!!! Guy looks up and says "Well, you obviously don't have a nonviolent button." She punches him again!! The whole time I'm screaming in my head "Please stop hitting him!!!!"But I start laughing and say to both of them, "See how much we're learning about each other." Physco Chick must have taken my sarcasm in the wrong way and says "Don't make fun of me..." and then she hits ME in the arm. Me, your beloved Weirdo. Lets just say that Physco Chick has really bad aim, and leave it at that.
The only good thing that comes out of Physco Chick is that she gives me and Guy chances to talk to each other!!!!!
Have you ever had a perfect moment that has been ruined by some PHYSCO MANIAC??????
Guy and Physco Chick are real people, the names used in this blog aren't their real names.
