Gospel Meeting

We just finished up our gospel meeting at chuch it was great. We had so many different speakes, we actually had Roy Johnson the man over Lads to Leaders. I was so excited to actually meet him. I bet I talked his ears off about how excited I am for this years convention. All of the speakers we had were great! He was just the icing on the cake.

Ladies Day

We just had Ladies Day at church and it was a big success. There were so many people there and everyting went great. I got to do a song and Bible reading in front of everybody it was really fun and a great way for me to get ready for Lads to Leaders. Our ladies did great. Even the little kids that are around four years old did something in front of everybody. They were so cute.

KICK OFF

Well the adults had their kick off last night on getting us started on our Lads to Leaders events. I can't wait I am so excited not only do i get to prepare for my favorite thing to do i also celebrate my 13th bday today. Yea. I have already been working on my good samaritans and had a busy summer. I went to Indian Creek Youth Camp two weeks i have also been to SEC, Youth Devos and getting ready for Rush at Freedhardmen college in Tennessee this coming up weekend. There are so many different events that we as youth can particpate in to stay involved with learning about the Bible and whats right all we have to do is go and do those things.

Tommorrow is the day

Can you believe that tomorrow we all get in our cars and head to Tennessee? It seems like we were just doing Lads to Leaders for 2009. I have been working really hard on all my stuff and I'm sure you have to. I hope everyone enjoys all the things I have participated in. I hope you have a wonderful time doing Lads to Leaders. I know I will. The people carrying our church banner this year is Meleah Wylie and Addi Kelsey. Well I guess that's it until next year. I hope all of you have a safe drive to Tennessee and a great time there. Bye for now see you tomorrow. Be careful on your trip there and back to everyone. Have a Happy Easter.

My Scrapbook

Well I finished my scrapbook today. I can't believe I have actually completed it. Now all I have to do my poster and continue working on my speech. I also want to say thank you to all of the people who have helped us with the different events that we participate in. If it wasn't for their time and effort that they invest in us then where would we be? So thank you Mr. Paul and Mrs. Kim, Mr David and, Mrs Susan. Mr Marty and Mrs Susan you are the greatest.

Almost There

It's almost time for Lads to Leaders and I am half way through. I just finished scrapbook tonight if you have a chance at convention please take a look at it. I love doing this so much and I hope you do also. I have still several things to do like finish learning my speech, do my poster, practice my song, finish packing. I'm counting the days down until Lads to Leaders. There is 1o more days to go can you believe it I sure can't . It seems we just did the convention for 2009. I hope I see you all up there even if I don't know you. The other great news is that Addi Kelsey was at church tonight after not being there for a long time because of her headaches. She is still in pain so please still keep her in your prayers. Who knows she might get to do Lads to Leaders after all. I sure hope so. Good luck finishing or doing the rest of the thing you have to do for the events you are participating in.

3 Weeks Away

Three weeks until convention and I am only half away through with all my stuff. I wish all of you good luck in everything your doing. I'm getting more excited each day. I don't know about you but I love doing Lads to Leaders because I enjoy being able to compete against other Christians my age. I'm going to hate it when I graduate from high school and not be able to compete and do things in Lads to Leaders but judge and continue to tell others about Christ. Even after we graduate that's not any excuse to quit doing with our churches just because we are college kids. We always need to be good examples to those around us no matter what our age is. We always have people watching us everywhere we go so were always influencing others in one way or another even if we don't know it. Who knows we might even get someone to become a christian or to go back to church who hasn't gone in a very long time. That's one of the good things about Lads to Leaders we are always around christian people everywhere we turn. I love doing Lads to Leaders and I hope you do to. Good luck finishing anything you are still working on and I hope to see you there. Please keep praying for Addi and the doctors that maybe they will find out what is causing her illness and be able to cure it.

25 Days to Go

25 days until Lads to Leaders and there is still so much to do. From learning my speech, finishing scrapbook which I am almost done, and more. I am counting the days down. It's almost time for convention and I hope everyone is as excited as I am. I hope everyone does great and I wish you luck in everything you are doing. I hope everyone has a good and safe trip. Please continue to keep Addi in your prayers that she might get better soon.

Time is Close

Well time is getting closer, I am half way done with scrapbook. I love working on it. I have my speech and I am learning it. We have six weeks to go. I can't wait. I look so forward to going to Lads to Leaders convention. I wish more churches would get involved in it. Its just a way for the young people to involve themselves in the Lord's work and to show that age is just a number that we can teach and learn as much as we can. We are very lucky to have the members of the church and Lads to Leaders to encourage us and help us any way possible. I want to thank them and everyone else who puts their time and effort in supporting us.

Addi

Addi is a girl who has been really sick. I wanted to write about her because she is such a very sweet, loving person and I love her so much. Maybe if she reads this it will make her smile. She goes to church with us and I hope she gets to feeling better real soon. So please everyone say an extra prayer for her and her family and that maybe Addi will be back to church soon.

Getting Started

I just got started with scrapbook. It's always so much but it's alot of hard work. You don't have to be creative or anything like that. If you don't do scrapbook you should. I did two and a half sections today. It's a good way to keep up with events that goes on from year to year and it's better than a photo album. I hope everyone enjoys looking at my scrapbook.

Web Page

Web Page is a wonderful way to teach others about God with a way of technalogy that's used today. It is a way for me to share with you the different gatherings that our congregation and youth do together to learn and teach about God. I love sharing my experiences with others and this is a way for me to do that. I love my church family. They are always there for us and encourages us to do many Godly things. I am so grateful to have them!!!!!!!

Survivor Retreat

Survivor Retreat is an event that our church members do. We select a weekend and go to Indian Creek Youth Camp to spend time together. We take the theme for Lads to Leaders and we study it. Our weekend at camp is based on what we studied for convention and we do different activities and games. It's a way for us to get together as a group and study, learn, and enjoy spending time together.

Speech

I finally got my speech for Lads to Leaders. I can't wait for everyone to hear it. I am getting so excited. Speech is one of my favorite events. There is not alot of people doing speech this year. I wish more would do it. It's a great opportunity for us to show others that we can teach people the word of God even at our age. We can be great examples to others young or old.

My Trip To Exposure

Exposure Youth Camp is super fun . When you go to exposure you get to learn tons about God. You know we get exposed to worldly things during school, sports, friends and other activities and when we go to exposure we get exposed to the Bible, it gives us the opportunity to be with other Christians. At exposure you also get put into teams with other people you don't know but even if it does sound scary to meet people you don't know it's really fun and you are also always around other Christians and you will make alot of friends. If you didn't get to go this year just ask about it. It will be on December 27th Thur Dec 30th for 2010 one of the best parts is that you get to learn more about God, the Bible, and Jesus Christ. Hope I see you there!
