Adult Fitness Test

So, I was reading an article in a magazine and I came across this article. It talked about how the public schools do a fitness test (known as the President's Challenge). Well, it goes on explaining that adults can take the challenge. As adults, you can see how you add up against avg people for your age. I thought this was interesting, so I posted it.

I think I'm going to try this out.

Update: Praise God

Well, I meet this awesome lady the other day, and all I can say is that, "It was just a God Thing". We relate to each other so quickly. I learned that the doctors told her that she would NEVER have kids, and today she is here with 3 wonderful daughters. It just shocks me. It something to hold on to..to know that what God says in Jeremiah is true (For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future-Jeremiah 29:11).

Trip to Mass

Sorry that I didn't post this sooner, my life has been a emotional roller coaster; but atlas, I have included some picture from mass:



<-This is our neighbor flower. Carolyn is our beautiful model showing us how huge this flower is! I think it is a hibiscus flower..am I right?











<-This is me at the Hard Rock Cafe in Conn. It took awhile for my mom to get how to take the picture (she is technology challenge..but I still love her!!) My mom took me to play Bingo. No, I didn't win, but got to meet some interesting people thou!













<- And how to end a week without visiting the mall for some Dipping Dots Ice Cream..umm.. I got Banana Split Ice Cream. :o)












P.S images of us at Six Flags will be uploaded soon ( I have to get them from my mom and my sister)!

Praising God

I just want a chance to Thank God.
Today at church (we just started attending this church because our old one closed), God spoke to this wonderful women and I was caught by total surprise. She talked about how we need to pray for women who can't have children. This shocked me because in all my trials of suffering threw IF, nobody..I mean nobody EVER stood up and recognized that we should pray for others who are dealing with IF..I was just lost for words. I just sat there, baffled and cried silently in my seat.

I don't know if you ever felt this way, but I knew it was from God and that he is comforting me in this tough time. just to know this..wow..no words can express how I feel.

So..Thank you God..You know what we need..and its just right on time..

Camp

my friend Andrew
Rebecca (our waitress)


So, camp was great! One of my campers receive Christ and another one of my campers was so intrigued about God. She wanted to know more about him.
I came home with two bee stings and a burn on my arm. It is healing well tho.
Just to be at camp, once again was amazon. It change so much. They added a worship every morning to the schedule, I learn the proper way to Cup Stack and I learned about Geo-cashing (which I want to do here..Just trying to find out locations here in town). Also, for the first time they had 50's night (to represent Highland Retreat Camp's 50 Anniversary). That was a blast! We were taking into a van and drive down to the lower camp and into a pavalin. We had a waitress take our order at the drive thru and then we ate inside. Another waitress on roller skates (my friend Rebecca) deliver us our food (burgers, chips, pickle, and soda).

Here is one of the new songs I learned at camp. Oh its so beautiful. It;s not on youtube, but I did find the lyrics. Here they are. Enjoy!:

Water Fall On Me

by Jonathan Reuel


O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no one oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

I can’t think of anywhere anywhere I want to be more than with you

And I can’t think of anything anything I would rather do than give you glory

Come my savior on the clouds, Holy spirit speed the hour

I will shout out loud the message

“freedom is coming and the kingdom is now”

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set um free

Water fall on me water fall I have sought your heart hear me call

O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no on oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

I am here to speak the message, Tell the truth that will set you free

I proclaim freedom to the captives, Freedom to you in Jesus name

You can bow ,before the master, Find your shelter under his blood

You can come and be forgiven, Carried along in the crimson flood

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set um free

Water fall on me water fall I’ve sought your heart hear me call

O my savior I give you glory, My redeemer my God and king.

There is no on oh so holy, Like the one who sets me free.

Let your rain come down all around, Let the thunder sound shake the ground

Let the waterfall pound breaking down, All the lies you found under me

Let the sightless see let ‘em see, Set the bound ones free, set me free

Water fall on me water fall I have sought your heart hear me call

Psalms 84-thoughts for the soul

ThinkOnITDevotions: Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; they will still be praising You. (Psalm 84:4 NKJV) Staying focused on God no matter what’s going on around you causes you to see things from a different perspective. When you remember God knows what He’s doing, you can praise Him, even while going through a tough trial in life. David had plenty of trials in his life. If David could praise God in the middle of his trials, surely we can too.
What are you experiences with God when you were going through a tough trial? Did you praise God?
