State so far.

Individuals went well. I got 4th on floor. So now it's just the team competition left And we're done. I hope that I can end my senior year with a bang and another championship under my belt.

''Everything'' by Lifehouse

I recommend this song to anyone who is open to a great message. There is also an awesome drama skit to it on youtube.

Basically the skit is about a girl who dances with Christ and all is well. Then a boy comes in and steals her away from the good road. Then she starts to sin and fall, until she realizes she is doing wrong and repents, sprinting back to the one only perfect relationship she has ever had. The sins still try to pull her down, but God always triumphs.

This is a very good analogy of the current troubles that teens face on a daily basis. Every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps at the climb of intensity and when all of the instruments and voices come together. It's breathtaking.

Revolution

My youth group prayed for me tonight that I'd have a solid time at state and to be the better person and in one's words to ''dominate''. This really touched me because I've never really had any big group pray for me. I now have the confidence of a champion and no one is going to bring me down.

''On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.''

Friendship--more than Gold.

Totally has its meaning.  At camp this summer I met my true friends who I can talk to about any situation. They totally understand it and help me out with my problems. They're worth more than gold in my eyes, and in each other's eyes. I am super excited to work with them this summer to grow in our friendship and learn more about each other, while growing Spiritually with God.  He brings the best of people in your lives for a reason, and this is mine:

since I was a loner, I was always welcomed at camp.  I always made a new friend every year, and it didn't matter how many I made as long as I made at least one. And they are the ones sticking by me to this very day.  

I try to find friends who are right for me by what their interests are and if they go to any churches or youth groups.  If so, and if they are truely interested in what the youth group stands for, I try my best to have multiple Christian friends like that who can stick by me wherever I go and whatever happens to me.

Christians rock.

Case, game, match...point.
