LOVE!

Colorado was absolutely incredible. I don't even know how to voice everything that happened this week. The whole trip was filled with new experiences and opportunities. I LOVE Colorado. I will write more about this trip later.

Wow, Wow, Wow!

So I am going to just talk about me for a moment. This week has been absolutely incredible. From eating my favorite ice cream, dippin' dots to getting ready for one of the biggest trips of my life. This week I finished the summer reading packet for this June, I cleaned my room, I spent time with my siblings, I did Bible Study, I get to read a whole book, I laid stuff out for Colorado and I got my temporary License!!!!! and I am not excited! My mom let me drive a few turns on the way home (SCARY!) Then today I got to go to a baseball game. It was the twins first, which I really enjoyed. Seeing the joy on their faces was amazing. Tomorrow we are going to fireworks. This has just been an absolutely amazing week! The only sad part was that I didn't get to see or share it with my friends. Thank you Jesus for am awesome week.

Shout to the North

Shout To The North

Men of faith rise up and sing
Of the great and glorious King
You are strong when you feel weak
In your brokeness complete

Shout to the North and the South
Sing to the East and the West
Jesus is saviour to all
Lord of heaven and earth

Rise up women of the truth
Stand and sing to broken hearts
Who can know the healing power
Of our awesome King of love

We've been through fire we've been
through rain
We've been refined by the power of his name
We've fallen deeper in love with you
You've burned the truth on our lips

Rise up church with broken wings
Fill this place with songs again
Of our God who reigns on high
By His grace again we'll fly


This was one of the many songs we sung in VBS last week. I really love the words.

WOW!

This is such a touching story!!

Harmonik
Sometimes what makes a talented act seem incredible is a touching story. Take the Miami-based band Harmonik, for instance. The members had a noble plan for their potential prize money: to bring the money back home to rebuild their native country, Haiti, where they'd lost friends and loved ones. Their "Hallelujah" was a way for them to express themselves, starting off slow but engaging the full crowd to clap along. While much of the Orlando auditions relied on spectacle Tuesday night, Harmonik let their music set a more somber, yet uplifting, tone.
