Good Samaritan Kick Off

It's time to start new year for Lads to Leaders. I have already started have you?

Tommorrow Is The Day

Well tomorrow is the day and I am so excited. I know we have a worked so hard and I know you all will do great. I have been looking forward to this year ever since the last competition. I hope you all have a good and safe trip up there and back. Good luck on everything you are doing if you are doing a event. Well got to get up early in the morning to head up there. I cant wait to see you all then.

Exhausted

Hey, sorry it has been a week or so since I have written on here. I've been trying to get all of my Lads to Leaders stuff done. I have just finished my scrapbook ten minutes ago and now I still have to study my speech, practice my song, and pack. I usually am done with all my stuff by now but I just got back from a school trip too so that didn't help much. Well it's on countdown until Lads to Leaders. I am so excited. There is one day until the trip. I think everybody that I know is going I am so ready. Oh and by the way I have some exciting news! Mary Courington gets to come home! I know we are all excited for her! Well see you all in Tennessee. I will try to post. But for now bye bye.

Getting Better

Yay it's so exciting to hear that Mary Couringon has gotten a liver and is doing great. I just want to let you know that all the prayers have been greatly appreciated. We all love the Courington family very much and I know we are all happy for them. I hope Mary gets to come home soon because I miss her alot and it doesn't seem right with out her around at all the church events. Please keep praying for her and her family hoping that she will continue to ge better. MeMe if you are reading this I just want you to know that we love and miss you and that you will have a big welcoming commite when you get home. I will keep you all posted about Mary Courington when I hear something else.

Mrs. Mary Courington

We all love and know Mary Courington alot and we all know that she is going through alot right now. Please pray for her and her family. For those of you who don't know Mary is vey sick. she is rejecting her liver and she needs a new one as soon as possible! The doctors here gave up on her so they took her to Louisana to try to make her better. I really wish there was something I could do instead of just praying because I don't feel like I'm doing enough. If I could I would give her a part of my liver. Mary is like my second mom and she means alot to me. She has been around me my whole life. She is at the top of the liver transplant list. So maybe she will get one as soon as possible! Please keep Mary and her family in your prayers! It will be greatly apperciated. Mrs. Mary if your reading this I just want you to know that we all love and miss you and we want you to get well soon!

Getting A Pitch Pipe

I'm so excited! I just got my first pitch pipe for Lads to Leaders and I can't wait to use it. With it being my first pitch pipe I'm not used to it and I don't quite get how it works but I will get there. I have wanted a pitch pipe for awhile but I could never find one. I have seen how it has helped other people do a song so I am pretty sure it can help me too!

Comments

I would just like to say thank you to all of you who has left me a comment or looked at my webpage. It means a lot to me that people actually view my webpage and leave me comments. After a really bad day at school it's really nice to see that people have left me comments and hopefully enjoyed my webpage alot. If I ever knew if you had a webpage or something like that I would try my best to leave you comments also as much as I could. It truly does mean alot to me so I would just like to say thank you again. I really do mean it!

Group Scrapbook

We have been working on our group scrapbook for a few weeks now and it is coming along nicely. We have all working really hard and we hope you enjoy looking at it. Even though we have been working on it we still have a lot to do. We can't wait till you see it. Doing group scrapbook gives us the opportunity to hang out and spend time with all the other people in our youth group. Last year we got second place we are hoping that this year we will win first place. Who knows maybe we will. Wish us luck! If your youth group is doing group scrapbook we wish your whole church's youth group luck also. Even if you or your youth group are not doing group scrapbook I and my church's youth group wish you luck in everything that you are doing. We wish your youth group luck in everything that they are doing. I hope everyone has a good time!

Picking Out The Right Song

Well I have finally picked out my song. It was a long process with so many different wonderful songs to chose from. The song I picked out is page 166 He's My King. I hope that everyone enjoys the song that I have picked out to do for Lads to Leaders this year. It is very hard to chose just the right song. This song is one of my favorite songs to sing. The reason it is hard for me to chose the right song is because I am either always going to fast or dragging the song to slow. Maybe I can get this one just right. I guess that's why being in the band should help me learn how to read music. I hope you will be able to pick a song out easier than I was able to.

Mass Media

I just got done recording my speech for mass media. It was so much fun. I think it was my favorite one yet. Click: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_to listen to it.

Getting Closer

It's getting closer until convention and I can't wait. There is still so much to do. We have three and a half months till it's time to go. When I tell all my friends at school that I'm going to Nashville, Tennessee for Lads to Leaders they always ask what is Lads to Leaders. It's always fun to explain to them what it is because I get to tell them about everything I get to do. I'm so excited about going. I hope everybody enjoys all the events I have participated in just as much as I do and all the other events also. I also hope yall enjoy looking at my scrapbook, poster, photos, and listening to my speech and song. I think this is going to be my favorite year participating in Lads to Leaders.

Speech

I finally got my speech. So I know time is getting near. It is never too early to prepare for Lads to Leaders it is right around the corner. I can't wait till I can say my speech out loud for everyone. I think this is going to be the best speech and year yet. But then i always say that. But i do think every year gets better and better. Now it's time to start learning my speech by heart. Hope everyone likes my speech.

Our Trip to Exposure

We just got back from Exposure and it was so much fun. There was so much to do like spiritual challenges, worship, singing, team mixers, alot of fellowship, and more. Spiritual challenges is different classes and different speakers that you can go to. Team mixers is when you are split up into different groups that way you can meet people you don't know, learn more about God, sing, and we even play games to learn more about the other people in the group. This year two people I know Daniel Courington and Steven Vincent got hypnotized. The way they acted was so funny. I love Exposure so much. I'm already counting down the days till next year. I hope I see you again next year.

Exposure 2010

Exposure is coming up next month and I'm so excited. I love going to Exposure so much because when you go to Exposure you meet new people, sing songs, learn more about God. My favorite part about Exposure is learing more about God and singing the amazing songs I have never heard before. You should come to Exposure this year. You will have so much fun! So may peope show up every year it is so amazing. I know I will be there. See you then!

Area Wide Youth Devo

We just had our Area Wide Youth Devo at our church. It was great we had so many teens there it is just so amazing to see so many christians in one place even away from Lads to Leaders. You know we go to school and do all kinds of other events outside of the church and its a great inspiration to be involved in events that is all church related. I wish there were more things that we could do that involves the teens and church.
