well last night i finished my 22nd book. maximum ride- saving the world and other extreme sports. it was a great book! i love that series by james patterson who is now my favorite author.
also last night my awesome step mom read me a story that she submitted to a magazine. it was how we should always remember that god is here to watch us when we are afraid. It got me thinking about my fears and how i fear them. I HATE being afraid and to tell you the truth I.... well fear it. Yes, i admit it i am afraid of being afraid. Every night when i get afraid i pray to god "Please lord god i am handing you all my fears and i pray that you just get rid of them for me. I hate being afraid and pray that you help me wash those fears right down the drain." I also sing to myself a verse that I learned off of a tape that my mom got my little brothers and sister. the funny thing is, is that tape was bout two little children being afraid of the storm and an angel came and helped them get rid of their fears by singing verses. Now i do have my own personal storm from time to time and i pray and sing and recite verses that i know to help me get rid of my fears. the verse that i recite is this, "the lord is my light and my salvation. whom shall i fear? the lord is the stronghold of my life, for whom shall i be afraid?" im not exactly sure what verse that is but it helps me when ever i get scared. i know that god will help me through my storms of the night and will help me get rid of my fears that i have and soon i fall asleep. I know i can trust in god to help me with my fears and that i shouldn't lean on my own understanding but trust in god to keep me safe.
now for my last subject on an autistic boy on my bus. he is a really smart kid and i hate how kids tease him just because hes different from them. i thought about him and how they tease and i have decided to reach out to him and be his friend. if he rejects me of course ill leave him alone but i just can't stand watching people tease him on what books he reads,how he explains stuff, and other horrible things they ask him about that they know is stupid and gross. I hate how people act like little kids and ask him those stupid questions and how he doesn't know id their just joking or their being serious. i hate it and i am now going to help him. become friends with him.
well thats it for now!
a. joy
Wow....I feel the same way.I wish kids would grow up and respect the people and the world around them.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind being yelled and it's just when it gets over bored that I start to feel unsafe.
You had such a wonderful interpretation of the story that I wrote -- I hope it helped you; it sounds like it did. I am so very proud of you for working through your fears and always going to God. I am also VERY proud of you for reaching out to the autistic boy. Sometimes it is difficult to reach out to those who are different, but Jesus calls us to love everyone -- no holds barred! You are doing the right thing and following His path for your life, and Dad and I will always encourage you to keep it up! We're praying for you, too -- your fears and your hopes and dreams and outreach! :) Love you!
ReplyDeleteYou are SUCH a precious little girl. MY little girl, but you are growing into a woman before my eyes! I love you. You have such a sweet spirit, and God is using you even at 12. I love you so much, and know that someday you're going to have a ministry that will touch SO many people's hearts. Well, you do now--don't you?? You're awesome little one!
