Masks

It's amazing how we can be one thing Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, then be someone totally different on Sunday and Wednesday. It is such a shame how you hang out with the one wrong person and you switch to their lifestyle. I am so sick of satan's temptations and what the world is trying to throw at teenagers-especially targetting Christians. It hurts so bad seeing people that used to be on fire for God fall, forgetting everything God has ever done in their life--forgetting the plans God has in store for them. Just this past year it seems like things have changed so drastically in some peoples lives-unfortunately, for the worst. I wish there wasn't such a thing as smoking and alcohol. What is the stinking point?!?!? Yes, some people (especially girls) start smoking to lose weight. Yeah, I guess it's suppose to give you a "fast metabolism," BUT, it also will lead to a heart attack and eventually turn into lung cancer. I guess whenever I find out that someone I know smokes it tears me inside because of what happened to my dad. It's sick the money people put into these addictions. Basically you're just paying to kill yourself in the long run- it's disgusting!!!!!!! :( I have learned one thing though. Instead of judging and gossipping of those who have slowly started to fade from God's will, we need to pray for them even more...praying they will change and continue living the life God has in store for them.
Lately I've been thinking about people who served God full-heartedly, then fell to the temptations of this world. It's so sad to see. It's really been bugging me, so, I thought i'd let some of my feelings out on this post.
Always remember to pray for those in need !!!!!!!
Lord, I ask you to help the people who turn to smoking, alcohol, drugs, or anything else of this world. Instead of finding peace in addiction, I ask that they'd find a peace in serving you and coming to you for comfort**

Apologies

Jello everyone! Yes, I know what you all are thinking. Shainerz has such a boring blog!! Yes, I agree. I'll try to do my best for now. I know how to get pics and stuff on here now...so that's a plus. It'll probably get more interesting once I move to Austin (which is only about 52 days away ---AHHHHHHH!!) because I won't be seeing everyone as often and can update you on what's up with my new journey in life, so, bear with me until then! If anyone has some good ideas for my blog....comment! Thank-you

What's your most embarassing moment?

** DAILY INSPIRATION **

Well, I just started reading 1st Chronicles. To be honest with you, it's not very exciting so far! :O The first two chapters are about history and who's who's dad and who's who's wife and mother and son and so on. So, I thought I'd share what my devotion was from my devotion book that I read every day called "365 Devotions"--very creative.
Yesterday the title was "Give to those in need." It mainly focused on not being so greedy and when you know someone else could use something or needs something...even something as simple as a hug or smile--be generous! One thing I am a big fan for is giving to Speed the Light. Missionaries across the world definetely could use our mula (not saying you have to give everything you have). After going on two missions trips I realize how much missionaries need our help buying supplies, vehicles and other stuff to help witness to people around the world!!
I guess the point is: you can never give too much!!

WHO IS YOUR SUPER HERO!?!

Another Week Gone By

Well well well. I have 4 words. THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIIIIIDDDAAAYYYY! Woohoo. Friday's have to be one of the best days of the week. I suppose when you're working a full time job you probably look more forward to Friday's than most people in the summer do. It's so nice not having to work on weekends now that I don't work at the Flower Basket I can sleep in on Saturday's!! Oh, how I love sleep!! I am going to sleep in LATE tomorrow and it's going to be wonderful! I'm thinking about going garage-saling before "The Hunt" for Summer Survivor starts. I haven't done that in sooo long. It is so much fun! You can always find the greatest stuff for like.....50 cents or less. "That's what I'm talking about." --Kip. My brother's going to "The Hunt" tomorrow!! He's bringing his girlfriend and her friend too!! I hope he starts coming to church. That would ROCK!! I am really pumped about that! I have a feeling the RED REBELS are going to kick some booty! (I guess we'll just wait and see)
Well, I just thought I would share how excited I am for this weekend. I hope everyone else has a great weekend!!! See you tomorrow at THE HUNT!!!!!!

If You Could Visit or Live in Any Another Country Besides the U.S.A, which would you choose!? (and why, if you'd like to share)

** Inspirations for the Day **

Each day I'll try to have a new Bible verse to help encourage and inspire us for the day.
Yesterday I was reading Hebrews Chpt. 10 for my devotions and I came across this verse that stuck out to me

HEBREWS 10:24-
~ "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward LOVE and GOOD DEEDS..... let us ENCOURAGE one another...."

I felt that this is an important verse because so often we put down each other --even if it's church related, which kind of stinks! Rather than putting people down we need to LIFT and ENCOURAGE! I know Pastor Aaron has been strongly trying to get this point across to us...and helping others in their relationship with Christ, I believe, will benefit us in the long run. So remember "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

Greetings!

Hello everyone!
I'd like to dedicate this blog to BrOoKe DeVinE (a/k/a Brooke Da'FINE!). She always told me that I should create a blog. So, here it is!
I will try to make it as sweet as possible; however, I'm not too handy dandy with computers. I will try my best. Enjoy for now & God Bless you! :)
