I am not kidding it was MASSIVE!!!!!!!!! I will get some pictures up later. We also went to Hollywood.
There was alot of street performer there. We even saw "Jesus" walking across the side walk with a Starbucks cup. We had a lot of fun! We measured up our hands and feet with the stars, I have the exact same size of hands as Julia Andrews. Then we speed ed down to the Black church. That was so great! We caught the tail end of worship.(they where having some sort of anniversary) Even so it was awesome. The lady that sang had some voice. And the preaching!!!! If the liked what the preacher was saying the stood up and clapped and yelled AMEN. Or put there hands up in the air. Oh ya at the end some one got on the organ and started playing. then the preacher sang/preached. It was so cool. Beside us there was like 3 other white people. There was like a couple thousand black people.
Well my mom is pressuring me to get off.

Martha

Martha (4) was defiled by a man who threatened to kill her family if she told anyone.

Martha* – Nairobi, Kenya

Four-year-old Martha spent most of her time playing with friends near her home. One afternoon while playing outside, a new neighbor across the street approached Martha and asked her to help him with a favor. The neighbor then grabbed Martha, took her into his house and raped her. The rapist threatened to beat her if she told anyone what had happened and forced her to go back to playing with her friend.

Unable to contain the horror of what just happened, Martha told her friend that the man had “done her bad manners.” That evening Martha’s mother returned home to find her daughter crying. Martha told her mother the details which were later confirmed through a physical exam. Martha and her parents reported the rape to local police and later that day Martha’s perpetrator was arrested and taken to the police station.

However, a group of the rapist’s friends visited the family’s home and threatened to kill Martha’s father if the charge was not dropped. The rapist and his allies also tried to pressure the local police to drop the charges. Later, the rapist was released from police custody and immediately went to Martha’s home where he threatened to shoot Martha’s father if they pursued the case.

When International Justice Mission® learned of the threats and Martha’s case, IJM Kenya staff stepped in to represent Martha and her family. Martha’s rapist bribed, threatened and intimidated witnesses resulting in months of delays, but IJM stood fast. The perpetrator relied on a history of inaction and unaccountability in Kenya, that those fighting for justice would grow weary and discouraged and eventually walk away.

But Martha’s rapist and his allies could not contend with the forces of goodness that do not back down from threats or intimidation tactics. Instead of giving up, Martha and her IJM advocates persevered until Martha courageously confronted her assailant in court and the judge convicted and properly sent the rapist to prison for his crimes.

After the rapist’s conviction, IJM’s lead attorney in the case wrote, “In the future, when Martha is old enough to ask what anybody did to protect her, I have no doubt her parents will tell her that there’s a friend for little children who watched over their every step. We praise God today, as we feel honored to participate in such an act of love. Rejoice with us!” Today, Martha continues to heal physically and emotionally as IJM staff follow-up with care and encouragement for her and her family.

Cliff hangers

In school a couple days ago we where talking about ending story's on a cliff hanger. A 'stay tuned' a "to be continued'. That how i kinda feel right know. We are on the cliff with a hang-glider on our back. We are looking over into a radical world and need to jump off. Try our wings for a change not be satisfied with the same old same old youth,church and school. I know that was really random.
Well off to study for Bible.

amazing.

This girl is twelve years old. This girl stood against one of the many injustices today. her class was told to do a persuasive speech. She choose abortion. Her teacher encouraged her to speak about something else. The teacher even went so far as to try to encourage her mother to stop her. But she stood firm and did it anyways. I wish i could have a little of her courage. At first she was not allowed to speak. Because abortion was to controversial for there liking. But she was able to compete. She went on to win her class compete and even her schools.
We should all do something like her. Lets stand Strong.

God IS bigger than the Boogie man

Message Remix//

Everyone loves the message bible. I know a lot of people who have it. I was just reading tonight and i have decided to go through the Psalms. So i started out at Psalms 1:1 (how ironic??) This is what it said
How well God must like you-
you do not hang out at sin saloon,
you do not slink along dead-end road,
you do not go to Smart-Mouth college.

HAHAHA! I love how it says that.
If you where to look it up in the NIV version it would be something like this
Blessed is the man how does not walk in the conceal of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

What a difference!!!

Homemade Milkshakes

HE LOVES US, OH HOW HE LOVES US!
Just listening to some inspirational music right now. :D
I had a fatabulous day. We got really good Math and French, then we got to go to the church to sing and make money. My mom so graciously picked Chels and I up early. Woot!
So me and Chelsea got home, went on the swings, chatted about life, went home, then we ventured on to making.. HOMEMADE MILKSHAKES! We just kind of threw a few things together until it reached our satisfaction. We made it with no ice cream! If turned out to be quite messy but good! A little on the sweet side according to Chelsea. It also was pretty much hilarious. Sometimes things like this happen when me and Chels are alone with a blender.
ANYHOW.
I am quite excited about youth. Last night while I was doing my devos, I was reading a verse where it said, 'Do not be timid or hesitant.' I felt like God was saying that God was saying that we should not be timid or hesitant in our worship. Also, I felt like we should have favor in our youth group like Graham Cooke said. We need to be able to say, 'Papa, you said!' in our youth church. So if you're reading this before youth, come with that mindset.
Well I guess I should go and let Chelsea blog now.
Toodloo!

I SAVED THE DAY!!!

So... we where at this Eat,Laugh and Send fundraiser. It was to help Candice get to Mozambique. There where 2 candles and a napkin on the table. To help it look good you know? Well anyway halfway when we where eating the napkin was particular close to the candle when all of a sudden it CAUGHT ON FIRE!!! It was rapidly getting bigger. Mercedes ran to the bleachers while Emerson was like OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH. And freaking out. Chels and Kayla where just kinda staring at it,totally not even the slightest bit worried. Laurel was panicking inside There was also a jug of water that was little over half full. Can you guess what i did with it? Yup, i took it and pored it all over the fire and put it out! This all happened in a matter of seconds. It was HILARIOUS!! Then after we had whiped up all the water, Emerson SPILLS it! I laughed so hard!! Then i went over to Merbies with Chelsea and Laurel. We all made brownies with M'n'M on top. And we just talked. It was great. UGH! Chelsea was telling us about this movie when this girl was traveling in Europe and was taken and was trafficked. And she was sold off for half a million dollars! That really happens everywhere. Girl don't give away your purity! It is so valued. All the way up to half a million dollars.
