Axis and Church

Filed under: Secret "Angels"

Yesterday I didn’t have enough time to blog this, but I’m blogging it now. Yesterday when I got back from school my mom told me that my dad found this thing for me on the porch from the people at Axis (church youth group). It was this devotion book that I needed to buy from them that costs $14! You see I needed this book for small groups that are starting on Wednesday. Inside on the front cover was this message, “Keona, we love you! This is just a small gift from the Bridge. Love, Axis”

This might seem simple to you guys and really cheap, but my family couldn’t afford it so I would have to my for it with some money that I’m saving for a new cell phone. This is such a HUGE blessing for me! THANK YOU AXIS AND THE BRIDGE! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAS HEPPENED TO ME!!!!!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!! Well I got to go. I’ll blog later, so please keep reading.

Jr. High

Filed under: Uncategorized

I LOVE Jr. High. Well I just don’t like the P.e./gym everyday. I could live without that. The cool thing is that in everyclass I have at least some church/regular friends. The sad thing is that when I’m with my best friend Megan we sit on the other side of the rooms from each other. My schedule is pretty easy too.

  1. Mr. McMillian-Science GATE
  2. Mrs. Biller-Symphonic Band
  3. Mrs. Miller-A.R
  4. Mrs. Long-Pre-Algebra A
  5. Mrs. Miller-Language Arts(Then I go to lunch)
  6. Mrs. Tape-Social Studies(After lunch is over)
  7. Mr. Swen-P.E./Gym

That is my regular day schedule. One some days I have to skip A.R. because it is either a Wednesday, assembly day, or a short day. That is how my day normally goes at Jr. High.

My Mom Wants Me To Say This…ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO ARE READING MY BLOG!

Filed under: Cancer

My mom is really tired, so she told me to write this for her in my blog.

There is this 21 year old guy named Kyle and his mom is named Mary. Kyle has a type of cancer and he isn’t doing very well. His skin is bright yellow and pale at the same time. He has about 5 doctors around him at all times. Mary just says by him and watches her son slowly die. Imagine you watching your kid for about (at this very moment) 30 days straight! If you are to young to have kids and/or you aren’t married picture when you have a kid watching him/her die and you can’t do anything but pray.

The statistics on Kyle say he will die. Kyle’s family we hope through this situation will meet Jesus Christ and not listen to the statistics. Now go back to you picturing you watching you kid die with cancer, but this time you can’t help him at all because you don’t know Jesus Christ yet. Wouldn’t that be hard!

Please pray for this family to meet Jesus Christ and that Kyle will get better. My mom is making Mary a gift bag with things that will hopefully help her relax. Please pray for this family! Thank you for reading and please read my next bog entry (I wonder what it will be about that time)! Bye!

Needs vs. Wants

Filed under: Uncategorized

I have been getting money from babysitting. A lot! So, I’ve been saying, “I NEED that tote bag for school” and “I NEED that cool pen”. Everything has to do with “Me me I I” (as my junior high leader says when someone is greedy). I have really only thought about myself.

Then tonight when we were going to target with a $50 dollar gift card my mom asked me a question. She asked, “What do you NEED so I can see if I can buy it tonight?” I just sat there in the car thinking of the lists of WANTS not NEEDS. Then it hit me like when it hails and hits my dads hair when it just cut it down to nothing! They were WANTS and not NEEDS! I know it took me awhile because I was just thinking about me me I I. Then I told her, “Mom I actually can’t think of anything.” She was kind of suprised!

Now I think I was acting like a complete brat who is always spoiled. I know I’m not, but I was acting like I was. IT WAS HORRIBLE! I am just really glad that God helped me realize what I was doing wrong! Please keep reading my blog.
