Level 5

if u r reading my blog post a comment, even if it just says hi.



Well my tumbling coach told me some very good news. If I can do my back walkover, I can go to level 5! BUT I must be able to do this stunt by the end of August. That's almost impossible! I kick my legs half way up, and then I fall. But I have a plan.



WEEK ONE: do twenty-five walk back bridge thingys.

WEEK TWO: practice the bend

WEEK THREE: practice my kick

WEEK FOUR: Attempt the full stunt!!



Let's just hope I move up. I'll keep you posted!

Adventures with ME day 3

Wednesday
Since yesterday on Tuesday we went to a homeless shelter and perform our 'ministry stuff', today we were going to perform again. Here's a little bit of info on the 'stuff'...

Clowning: The clowns danced to "ain't no mountain high enough" by PureNRG.
Dance: A group of girls that danced to "soldiers" by Out of Eden. (the fourth song on my---I mean your---playlist)
Human Videos 1 & 2: A mix between acting and dancing. My group, human video 1, did "by your side" by Tenth Avenue North, (sixth song on your iPod) and human video 2 did "all that matters" by Addison Road. (fifth song on your iPod)
Gospel Illusions: doing magic while preaching. (Amen, sista! LoL!)

Wednesday was clearly fun and entertaining. Plus, Cameron ate a WHOLE apple, and for him, that means seeds, core, stem, EVERYTHING. Yeah. It was REALLY gross to watch, seriously. Juice mixed with spit was running down his face, he was laughing, chewing with his mouth open, I wanna barf just thinking about it. Well, no diaries:(

Adventures with ME Day 2

Tuesday
my day started at 7:30 because we had to go to breakfast. I couldn't believe that yesterday, I woke up in a tiny room with two black polka-dotted beds and gymnastics posters surrounding me. But today... (not really today) I woke up in a college dorm with a BIG window, that was so big, at night when you turned off the lights, it would still look bright! My roommate was Micheala Brennan (Mickey) and my next door neighbors that I shared a bathroom with was Meghan Newman and Hali Woken. All of them were in my van and I got their email adresses and well, I think you know we became friends! The good thing? Meghan and Mickey are from Cleveland and Euclid, therefore, one day, I could maybe visit their church or something! (New Song) That would be more than cool to see them again! No idea where Hali lives. (pronounced HEY-LE, Meghan pronounced MAY-GIN, Micheala pronounced MICK-KAYLA) Back to Tuesday, since that was all the way in Saturday, we went swimming at a waterpark, and there was no service, so no Diaries:(

Adventures With ME Day 1

Before I start, I need to say that "Your Devotions" blog is deleted. Thank you to all that followed it.

Day 1, Monday
My day started at 6:30 AM because I had to be at the church at 7:55 (I think). Around 8, we were all packed and on the road to Missions Extreme! I was so excited! It was going to be a week of fun. We stopped at Pastor Jay's house first, and he showed us cockroaches. EEEEEEEEWWWW! No kidding, I had to leave the house before I puked. (i don't have the strongest stomach) So after that we really WERE on our way. It took 2-3 hours to get to New Philadelphia. We arrived at First Assembly of God, at lunch time. We ate chicken nuggets, applesauce, and the rest I don't remember. (that was like, three weeks ago.) So some amount of time afterwards, we went in the Sanctuary... blah blah... and went to ministry training. (For Maria, dance team, we met in preschool and became friends in third grade, me, Human vid. 1 with Kaitlyn)

Hope's Camp Diary
Camp is awesome! My outfit is not stained and I luv it, especially my hat!
I'm in service, and the lesson is this: David Zaz-Burger (not HAM burger) came to Ohio. He was a trumpet of the LORD. Trumpet signals could mean many things. There could be trouble. There could be an announcement. He announced good news. (the gospel) Zaz-Burger was in Sandusky because they were kicked out of their home land. He took the Indians back home because of food issues, but when they came back, they were put into Prison. The other people wanted to kill them.96 Christian Indians died that day. Zaz-Burger kept on preaching, though. As an old man, he was on Goshen Street, and died. (we drove past that street) He was buried RIGHT next to a Christian Indian.

It's altar call. We just finished Altar Call. It was cool. People were speaking in tongues and stuff. People were being filled with the Holy Spirit, and other cool stuff:)

Tune in for Tuesday on Your Blog!

Adventures with M.E.

Yeah! This post is all about ME! The Acronym of:



Missions

Extreme



The camp I attended all week! I stayed in a college dorm and literally LIVED with my best friends and new friends for a whole week. It was at Malone University and it was fun!



M.E. is a missions trip based on showing God in work, activities, and an outreach.



Work: weeding. Boy did I not like that, but I can't complain, it's God's work.

Activities: Human Video. There were many things to do. Clowning, Dance Team, Human Video 1, Human Video 2, And Gospel Illusions. I did Human Video 1 to the song "By Your Side" by tenth avenue north. Human video 2 did "all that matters" by addison road.

Outreach: On Thursday, we performed all our stuff and worked at stations. I crossed my fingers to be assigned with manicures... and guess what I did! I got many compliments on my nail-doing... except from Elijah, but idc.



Stick with Adventures with M.E. for more!

What's up? This...

Alex's Lemonade Stand
Well, if you know anything about Alex's Lemonade Stand, you would know it started when a girl named Alex had been diagnosed with cancer. She was four years old and let's just say she got a lot of money. The money was used so that they could donate to cancer centers. Alex died at 8 years old and they are still doing the stand in her honor today.

I passed the lemonade stand
I was in a rush to go to my gymnastics class at the YMCA because I was running late and I didn't want to miss streching. (after all, one and a half hours with NO streching?OUCH!) In the lobby, just after I checked in, I passed Alex's Lemonade Stand. Well I really was thirsty, but being late was all that was in my mind, and I didn't have my purse with me. I figured i'd borrow my sister's money afterwards.

Afterwards...
THE STAND WAS GONE! I was sooooo mad. Oh well though. At least LOT'S of people donated.

Go Donate!
Just because I didn't donate, doesn't mean you can't! Go to a place---any place---and give that dollar, or even fifty cents, because it matters. What are you sitting at the computer for? (or phone, or iPod, or any other carrier) Go and drink lemonade, after this post.

Honor Star/friend crowning!
Today was my crowning, and I got a lot of presents. It was soooooo cool! Well bye! Remeember your assignment!
