25 days till my sweet sixteen.
and I can't wait. this year for my birthday I wanted to do something different. so i requested in my birthday invitations that instead of getting gifts for me make either a money donation or some items that we listed to be given to the Cherokee Childrens Home. my church supports them, we called them and asked them what they need and they said that they had 14 teenage girls around my age and they went though hair stuff, tampons, pads, etc. and they could really use these things. so thats what i asked everybody for for my birthday.
thinking about it just makes me smile. i mean i don't by any means need any things. i have been very blessed and by no means am i in any need of anything. sometimes you dont think about how blessed you really are untill you start thinking about the people that arent and dont have the things they need. i really hope that i can get these things for these girls.
when i told my mom she didnt understand why i would want to do something like that.. and she doesn't think that people will actually bring stuff for it. i hope that i can prove her wrong and show her that people will do stuff. i love the feeling you get when you know that you are helping somebody that is in need.
it makes my heart happy. yeah that sounds kinda corney and stupid but i dont know any other way to explain it.
i just got back from Arkansas yesterday. it was okay. not my favorite state but it was okay. ill put a few pictures up tomorrow hopefully. :)
i cant wait to go to the beach.. and to turn 16.

I love your heart and we will for sure support you in this. Did I tell you about the stuff the girls collected for the shelter downtown. It was amazing. There is but ONE reason why we do what we do and that is to bring Glory and honor to our sweet Father. You have a sweet heart. I am so pround of you and like Andrea can't wait to get to the beach and just celebrate
How precious are you. You giving to those girls is like giving to Jesus Himself. He is so proud of you :)
