I MET SARAH PALIN TODAY

Hey everybody!!! Today was amazing! My day started out by being awakened from a deep slumber! I was told that some people were going to the childrens home at 10.....and i was tired! I almost said i was too tired and it wouldbt have mattered because i was the only intern to tag along with the women from Texas. But, God woke me up and made me go, and boy am i sure glad he did. Those kids were just the neatest little people i have ever met! Some of them i recognized from summercise and some were new, but eithet way they were just littke balls of joy! One littke girl named Dawnelle came up to me because she recognized me from summercise. It was the greatest feeling and my heart was simply warmed. We took the kids some bibles and different things that would put a smile on their faces (coloring books, little toys and such).

One of the oldest kid there , has a pretty tough time
at this home. He doesnt get alomg to well with the supervisor, and he just feels out of place being with a bundle of small children. But, he told me that he just needed someone to sgow him some attentuon. He said "I just wish people would talk to me.I told him that i was happy to anytime he needed an ear to listen or he needed a friend to hang with. He is a cool cat just like all the other children. They arent orphans, they just have unacceptable home conditions theat cause them to wind up at this Childrens home. It breaks my heart, but I know Christ is moving and working his wonders every time i see one of these kids smile. Today, the oldest boy brought out his bible and read us some verses he really liked and that he underlined the night before. The awesome and magnificent happening is.....just the other day when the bible was given to him, he referred to it as "just another book". But,..... i think he has realized, through the grace of God, how amazing this one book can be.

Isnt it awesome. I think it is something we forget sometimes.....or atleast I do. Just how useful and holy and untouchable Gods word is. I mean it is LITERALLY an instruction manual on how to live your life. To It simply amazes me sometimes how i can turn to the Bible with basically any issue, question, worry or praise and find verses and passages to match my thoughts. ANY problem we have has just about been covered in that great book! Abd if it hasnt been.....well then why is it a problem to us anyways. The Bible is our most precious resource....and I just sometimes forget just how fantastic and excellent it TRULY is!

After i left the Childrens home....i went back to the church and ate some lunch and then some of us went fishing (I GOT MY ALASKAN FISHING LISCENSE). We got out there and it was FREEZING! Ice was rolling in...it was raining, the whole nine yards. So we were out the for about two hours and it was just toooo cold. So we came in and for a little while we watched a really interesting and cool animé movie with a girl from youth group named maya. Then, myself Aubrey, Emily, and Logan went to a lady down the streets apartment (who doesnt live there because she is suffering from cancer)to clean it out and prepare for a rummage sale they are having mañana!

When we got back to the church, there was Reindeer Pizza awaiting us and it was muy fantastíco!

So last night around like 1 AM...my team amd I went to Anvil mou tain, and it was amazing. It was so awesome to see God's creation in all its Glory right before my eyes. As i sat and fell deeper and deeper into mezmorization for my God..... I though about how much we take for granted her in this life. How God blesses us so much and we dont praise Him enough for the little things he willingly gives us simply because he loves us! I am so thankful to my heavenly father for allowing my to live the life im living making rrelationships with the people I LOVE! I lift Jesus' name on high forever more, and i cannot wait to sit next to Him for eternity!

I love you all! <3
