Hey readers I’m sorry I haven’t blogged in a LONG time. I just thought that it was stupid of me to not write a lot of things in my blog. Well here come the big news…

I GOT BAPTIZED! On Sunday September 7, 2008 was the big day. I was the first to get baptized out of everyone that was getting baptized that Sunday. It felt so good! I professed my love and belief in and of God! When I got out of the water the hot day felt colder and great!

After the whole ceremony I had to go do All Star Praisers. If you don’t know what that is, it is a group of kids who sing and dance in front of the little kids for their worship time. I mostly do All Star Praisers in 2nd service and not 1st because 1st is EARLY for my family.

Well I just got off track, but now that I think of it I think I’m done. Well bye. Sorry I haven’t blogged in awhile.

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.

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.

I have HUGE GUILT inside me right now! Last time my mom had cancer I was ALWAYS there for her except when I was at church. Now my mom calls me “Social Butterfly”. That means I hang out with my friends a lot. I know I will be at school soon, but it hasn’t started yet. I have been hanging out with my friends instead of helping my mom and I feel really badly! I talked to my mom about it and she said, “Keona, I might not like you always not being here, but that is just who you are now.” It made me feel better when she said that, but I want to be her helper again! I just want to be with my friends at the same time!

Everyone has said I sound very mature in this blog. I don’t think this one sounds very mature of me because I am basically saying I want to help my mom, but I need to hang out with my friends. I guess it doesn’t sound that mature. I just am that way sometimes. Very mature one day, then a kid/tween/almost teen the next. Please read my blog a lot because I like posting!
