Hey Bloggers

Hey bloggers! I haven’t talked to you in a while! Things have been happening at my place a lot. Well somethings i don’t know if I should share, but my family has been trying to succeed in getting money, I mean my mom has really started her Mary Kay business back up, but we seem to be in trouble. Yet what I don’t get is the answer everyone wants to hear when they ask, “How are you?” You are just inclined to say, “I’m doing good, and you?” But the truth is, we need to express what is really happening.

I hear my mom say so often that we are doing good, but look at the facts, we are in a rut. She souldn’t say that and maybe neither would my dad, but from observation, we have a problem. I thank the Tiffin family sooooo much for giving me a babysitting job this saturday, because without it I would be sooooo far away from going to Disney Land with my band. I mean for universal studios I had to get donations, anonomously, so I could go. Ugh life is hard.

You might be thinking, “Well that doesn’t sound like band stuff.” Well at Disney we are preforming a track and going to record it, and universal studios is MANDATORY! because we have to go to a judging beforehand. So yes it is band stuff.

So back to the Tiffins, THANK YOU! It probably won’t be enough to go to disney, but I’m going to be selling chocolate bars. Each for a dollar, and on the wrapper there is a dollar off cupon for Pizza Hut, so technically it costs NOTHING!

To help my family out, I’m not begging just stating, please either buy Mary Kay, get your computer fixed, get a website made, buy a candy bar, OR GET A BABYSITTER! and it would rock our world a little more than now! Thank you for reading, and I will for sure get back to you! As the song “Never Let Go” goes……”Oh no he never lets go. Though the calm and through the storm.” Look at the song “Never Let go” by Matt Redman and hear the whole thing!

Ps: To whoever gave us all the healthy food, THANK YOU!!!!! And the yellow carrots are kewlio! My friend brought purple carrots to school, MAN THOSE ARE KEWLIO TOO!!!! THANK YOU THOUGH!!!

Christmas Breakfast

Keona Borntreger — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:41:43 +0000

Christmas breakfast was brought by someone from the Bridge Bible church. The Bridge has always been there for my family ever since we started going there. I’m really happy that God brought us out here to make Life Journey. I even happier that God told us that Life Journey changed and to find a different church. If he didn’t then I would never have met half of my friends, except the people that go to the Bridge but did or do or still go to my school. But if I didn’t go to the Bridge I wouldn’t be like one big family with them like I am now.

Back to the breakfast. To the people that brought it and to the people that thought of the idea we thank you sooooooooo much! I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone who has helped us at all! We totally appreciate it and wish that we knew who some of you guys were so we could give you thank you cards and possibly a small gift! Well thank you to everyone!

Break

Keona Borntreger — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:35:08 +0000

I LOVE break, but I HATE not seeing all of my friends! I have seen some, but it isn’t the same because I don’t see them everyday like normal. School is fun if there wasn’t any work or boring things. Junior high is complicated. I mean I want to hang out with all of my friends, but my friends are all in like three different groups and it is hard to know which to hang out with and when. DRAMA STINKS! I really can’t wait though till I see all of my friends! They ROCK! I wish I could see them though, but I like break better than school. SOOOO CONFUSING!

Christmas!

Keona Borntreger — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:29:46 +0000

The day of my savior’s birth! I think of it as my favorite holiday of the year! I LOVE the fact that we actually have a nation wide holiday about Jesus and his life story! Well this Christmas was awesome! I went shopping with my mom, so I thought I knew everything I was getting from her. She surprised me and got me more! I can’t believe she did that because we are watching our money well and it was more than she intended. Then I got ten dollars to Wal-Mart from my Aunt Kim.

My mom used her own Christmas money for almost everyone else. I thought it would be nice to do something for her. I used my gift card for her. I got her earrings, a set with three pairs of earrings and a necklace, and a bag of brand (expansive–but on sale) chocolate.

She asked me at Wal-Mart if I bought anything and I said no. I hid all her stuff in my purse, so when we got home I gave it to her. SHE LOVED IT!!!!

My mom made my Christmas and I hope I made hers. I think this Christmas was one of the best! Even though Christmas is about Jesus, it is also a great holiday for the family to bond!

CHRISTMAS EVE!

I sang at church for three services with my friend Faith. We sang Mary, Did You Know?. We ROCKED it I think! We held everything perfectly and blasted it. Then there was rapping wise men. It was AWESOME! My friend was Mary, another was the lead shepherd, some were singing, and some were stars. The ending Mitch (lead shephard) had a last paragraph or two he had to say. Every time it about made me cry! It was so touching! It really showed the REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS! Last Christmas Eve service there wasn’t as many preforming, but this year we rocked it as a said before! Well just thought I should share! Bye-a! Peace! Love all my readers!

(SORRY IF I SPELLED ANYTHING WRONG!!)

My Mom

Keona Borntreger — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:48:31 +0000

My mom is “Okay” if you want to call it that. She told me that I don’t understand what she is going through, and I don’t. If you saw her it is a sad story. My mom told me she wants to take a two hour nap just after driving me to church and back. My mom says she misses her parents because when my brother and I were at school she would still have company and now she doesn’t. I feel sorry for her. I don’t know what to do, but I HATE seeing her like this! I HATED when she had her last cancer and when I found out about both of them! ARGH! I WANT MY MOMMY BACK TO NORMAL! I’m not trying to say that my life is sad and everyone should feel sorry for our family. I mean I know there is other people that have worse things happening. My friend’s cousin got in a fight, with words, with my friend about how sad my family is compared to my friend’s cousin’s friend. His friend has down syndrome. That is worse, but in some cases they’re the same and in other cases lung cancer is worse. every one just has different opinions! So that is a kind of update, but confusing, I know.

Has This Happened to You Before?

Keona Borntreger — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 22:18:54 +0000

Have you ever had someone in you life you think you know well enough? Well I thought I knew this one person (not mentioning names) that I knew would never do anything wrong. He/she is a great Christ follower and goes to everything that the church provides for our age group. The thing is, today he/she did something that God wouldn’t have liked and God frowns upon. The other thing is, he/she has also had some personality changes and done some things that God also would have frown on. It wasn’t just this one mishap.

Please Help me. I thought he/she was a committed Christian and Christ follower, but he/she didn’t show me that today. I mean it was about something dumb like he/she didn’t do a finale draft and didn’t know that he/she had to. He/she thought no one heard him/her, but even though he.she covered his/her mouth doesn’t mean no one can hear it. I was on the other side of the room and heard it! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?!?!?!?!?! I haven’t talked to this person since this happened today and it’s killing me not yelling at him/her!!! I don’t want to yell because it isn’t the right thing to do, right? Now I’m confused…PLEASE HELP ME! Leave a comment if you have advice!

(PS: FRIENDS DON’T TEXT, E-MAIL, OR CALL BECAUSE I’M GROUNDED! ONLY CALL MY HOME FOR HELP WITH HOMEWORK OR CHURCH BUSINESS! SORRY! I HAD MORE THAN TWO CUPS IN MY ROOM! I’LL HAVE MY CELL FOR THE FIELD TRIP, BUT THAT IS IT TILL NEXT WEDNESDAY! SORRY! SERIOUSLY!)

Baptism

Keona Borntreger — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:57:07 +0000

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.

Axis and Church

Keona Borntreger — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 00:29:07 +0000

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

Keona Borntreger — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 02:04:08 +0000

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.

Mr. McMillian-Science GATE
Mrs. Biller-Symphonic Band
Mrs. Miller-A.R
Mrs. Long-Pre-Algebra A
Mrs. Miller-Language Arts(Then I go to lunch)
Mrs. Tape-Social Studies(After lunch is over)
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.
