July, what a wonderful month

This past week I went to The Master's Inn, in Virginia, and its a completely life-changing camp. The things you do there reflect what you should do EVERY DAY, like doing morning devotionals (devos), praying before eating, and glorifying God through whatever actions you do.
God spoke to me and SO MANY people and specifically for me, its how i act.










Another thing that happened, was that I went to Eagle Butte, South Dakota and helped out a VBS for the Lakota kids. Going there makes you realize that even though you thought you had it bad, they have it 10 times worse. 
80 % of the kids I met have been abused in some way shape or form. The kids I had were 7 years old. You could see the love and attention these kids NEED and STRIVE for. I went the first day to pick up kids for a block party and one gets on the bus and sits on my lap. I've never seen the kid before, but as soon as she saw the van that had the church's name on it, she felt SAFE. Most kids there never feel that and that's why its such a bad place. I met so many drunks outside the gates of the church, and whats even sadder is driving through the town seeing these places where these adorable, lovable kids live and you wonder how they do it. How can this 5 year old or 9 year old live in a house with 15 people and have no drawers? One girl spent the night at a very good friend's house (a couple who are pretty rich and live 45 away) and she slept in the dark for the FIRST TIME. The poor girl is 8 or 10! She's so used to cockroaches while she sleeps that it freaked her out to sleep in the dark.
But these kids need God in their life and they will end up as the stereotypical Indian: drunk.
The Lakota Sioux need Satan out of their town, and I pray that Little white church will impact them more than anything.

Also, right now I'm at the beach, ooh man I got a TERRIBLE burn, (everyone says its because I'm a ginger...) BOO THEM! I love the saltwater breeze, sand, and sound of waves crashing! Its the good life.
God has blessed me soo much its unbelievable! 

thats my update.

What If?

""What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if?" Quote from Letters to Juliet. But it rings so true! What is the color of your hair? If only I had a car...
But...
What if I said hello?
What if I sat next to them?
What if I texted them saying how I feel?


They are haunting.
You never know what would of happened. So next time, do it and look back saying, Wow. I know what the what if is. Today I read a story where a guy wondered if he and this girl would go far. So he got the guts to ask her out. Turns out she was dating someone else. BUT he walked away finally not wondering what if?....


So....my advice? Do atleast 1 thing everyday that you would be scared to do. Then you don't have to look back and say what if?







&& I have a new obsession! Well, I wouldn't put it that harshly, but ever since watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch (the movie), The Proposal, and School of Life, I am amazed of what RYAN REYNOLDS can do with a script. And since he's such a funny guy, I'm "obsessed" with him! Hahahaha
