Berdy was our Haitian interpreter in Haiti. Since I got back, he has kept in touch with my team and we're friends. I was talking to Berdy on the phone the other day and he said, "I want to tell you a story." And I said, "Okay, lets hear it!"
This is what he told me in his exact words:
(inserts in parentheses mine)
"When the earthquake happen, I was trapped in my house, and when I got out I find some of my friends and family and I thought they were dead. I was scared so I pray and God help me (he got saved). (I assume this is months after the earthquake) I told my friend, "I want to intern at Mission of Hope and he said 'you cannot'." and then I tell him, "Well but I want to go there and learn how to speak English, but still he tell me 'you cannot'." You see, he doubt me and he tell me I cannot do it. But I did not listen to my friend, I went to Mission of Hope and I start to learn how to speak English and I get an education, and it was very hard but I was so grateful. Then after three months I was at the Mission of Hope, they say, "There is a team coming, they are four girls and you will be their interpreter." I was so excited because they were my first team, and they were just angels and I love them so much, they were so nice to me and so much fun. And now I cannot wait for them to come back. The end!"
And then he laughs. Which is something Haitians do a lot when they know Jesus.
"Now I want you to tell your friends my story, okay?"
I laughed and said, "Sure thing, Berdy!"
Berdy is a very happy guy, even with the hard things he has faced in his life. He's several years older than us, but he likes rap music and praise music, and he loves the ocean and Facebook and being an interpreter. He made our week fantastic and we really appreciated him. Hope you guys enjoyed his story, let me know what you think!

Intensity
Feels like the past fourteen days have been terrifying. Running from tornados, unsure about the safety of friends and family, and even yesterday wondering if we still had a house. But we got home safely with no damage to our house. I was so thankful I cried. Thank you Jesus for protecting my family and everyone we know. I know a lot of people, and I don't think this is coincidence.
The past couple weeks have been the most intense storms in history as far as thunderstorms and tornados go. Most people aren't aware that we had a couple of earthquakes too. We're seeing things we have never seen before, and its time for more people to start suitin' up and getting ready for more in the years to come. Especially Christians.
But we cannot, CANNOT forget to praise Jesus in all of this. He is our shield and protector, and as for me I will trust Him alone.
"I will praise you in this storm, and I will lift my hands. You are who you are, not matter where I am. And every tear I've cried, you hold in your hands. You've never left my side. And though my heart is torn, I will praise you in this storm."

From The Inside Out
This song has the most beautiful lyrics. "Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades. Never ending, you glory goes beyond all fame and the cry of my heart is to bring you praise. From the inside out, oh my soul cries out."
God is never ending, he does not change, and he hears us when we cry to him and ask him to come inside and help us work through our broken hearts. He hears us when we praise him and he loves it when we do! Do not forget to be thankful even when tragedies happen, God did not send the weather or the pain. He will be there for you in the thick of everything and love you regardless of what that may require. Do not give up.

Tornados
Everyone please pray for everyone in Oklahoma. Some have lost homes, family members, lots have been injured, and there are more storms expected today.
When things like this happen, we always pray for the injured and lost. But shouldn't that be a constant thing we do? Why don't we pray even when there is no tragedy? There are always lost and hurt people, its just more obvious during times like this. Food for thought.

Lazy Teachers
Lately I have been hearing a lot about education and people yelling about how many kids drop out of high school every year, and this video just backs up my statement on this problem.
Just like with discissions of gun regulations, those in authority are blind to the root issue entirely. With the guns, the problem is in the people and society, not the weapon. In the light of education, the problem is the system. Ask any high school student, most of them will say school is:
*boring
*depressing
*annoying
*not interesting
And going to school makes them angry. So much that high school students even make posts on Twitter and/or Facebook like this:
"I walk into school like 'what up, wanna die'."
"Does anyone else ever get the urge to just push someone down the stairs at school?"
"Exams are just a test of my memory, not my intellegence."
I could give lots more examples, but the point is that this is obviously a very big problem with a lot of factors to weigh. I can't wrap up my full opinion in one sentence, so I will just let Jeff Bliss say it for me. Watch this video.
Note: I have been having some technical issues with my blog, so if there is no media showing, just search "Jeff Bliss" on Youtube and click on "jeff bliss, a high school student gives a lesson to his teacher at Duncanville".

Deloze
Deloze. It means "lay it down" in Haitian Creole. It is pronounced, 'day-low-zay'.
As some of my readers know, I recently spent a week in Haiti and I just got back last Wednesday. The whole trip was amazing-the kids, the food, the music, just the people and culture in general were both shocking and fascinating. But for some reason it felt so normal to me. Minus the poverty, it seemed that the Haitians were thriving. Even the ones who were not Christian appreciated the things they had and the kids were very joyful and playful even though they probably had more life experience than any kid their age should. I thought, "Wow, this is the way we should all be living. Being thankful no matter what." I really miss them.
In Haiti, I prayed for God to show me something specific and help me pay attention and remember every single thing. I wasn't about to let the entire week pass and not get anything out of it, especially after working as hard as I did and paying 1500 dollars to go.
All week I was looking, and even though I was seeing new things, nothing had just jumped out at me yet. Tuesday night, the last night we were there, was when I finally saw it.
It was worship night at the Mission of Hope, and all the Haitians and even Americans were singing and clapping and by the end of the night there were hundreds of them all out in the rows and in front of the stage dancing, jumping and shouting. They sang a song I hadn't heard before (sometimes you can recognize the tune of American worship songs). It was a loud song and it just kept repeating at the end, "deloze, deloze, deloze, deloze." I could hear them all yelling it. Then I saw the English translation on the screen, and my mouth dropped.
I knew right then that God wanted me to lay everything down and let them go. Let go of people I hadn't forgiven, memories I held on to, things I feel responsible for, even the things I like that I maybe like too much. These people put us Americans to shame when it comes to sincerity and faithfulness to Christ. I was glad I could help them, but they also helped me learn some really important things about life.
Laying our things down is something that's really hard for humans to do; we grip our pennies so tight that we don't see that Jesus is offering us gold. I'm still working on it, but I've been able to let go of a lot of things since Haiti. Life is so much less painful when you choose to trust and let God take care of things that aren't in your control. I'm not perfect by any stretch, but because of him I have a much better chance and so do you.

The Two-Faced Thrift Store
Down the street from my house, there is a cute little thrift store sitting next to a barbecue joint. My family and I have passed by it so many times, but never have gone in. There are windows all around it, so you can see some of the nice outfits on the manikins and the long rows of purses, jewelry, and mens watches at the front of the store.
From the outside, it seems like a good place for people to shop. Come and get the goods!
But the other day, my mom and my sister decided to finally go into this thrift store, and were not expecting what they found.
On the door, there was a sign that read, "All large bags will be checked". The customers and even the employees all looked rough and scary. The items you couldn't see from the outside were filthy. And it was obvious that the floor hadn't been swept or mopped in months. They began to feel creeped out by the eerie feeling in there and left without buying anything.
Sometimes what you see on the outside isn't what you think it is. This thrift store, like a lot of people, was two-faced. You can only tell so much about a person by looking at them, but once you get inside you see the real deal.

Stress and Awareness
Self-Harm Awareness Day was March 1st. March 1st is also the same day last year that my best friend was going to commit suicide. Now, a year later, she went into March 1st fighting her struggles and letting God go before her. She and I even wore orange, which was the the color for Self-Harm Awareness Day. :) Shout-out to my bestie! So proud of you, chick!!
These past few weeks I've been sick over and over. We're talking cold, fever, headaches, not being able to get up, etc. It was bad. But one thing I have been able to come away with is how much QUIETER my life has been. I think God is preparing me for the mission trip I'll be going on in April, and he knew that I probably wouldn't slow down and be still unless I was terribly sick;) I feel very different, and I know he used this time in my life to teach me the value of being still; show me things I didn't see before.
I will say it has drove me crazy to have to sit so much, but I've been able to spend more time with him and I've had time to do things I probably would never have got around to doing otherwise. I've realized, that sometimes its not good to be running all the time. It helps to slow down every once in a while, it really does.
Do you stress out? If so, what happens when you do? Do you try to solve whatever is stressing you?
Talk about stressful moments!

How He Loves Us
Music is a big part of this blog, and this song is one of my favorites. It is originally sung by David Crowder Band, but I happen to love Kim Walker's version.
So, now that I'm done boring you with the facts, I want you to know, reader who just stumbled onto my page, that no matter what you have done, no matter how great your sin is, no matter what you have been through and no matter where you have been, Jesus loves you SO incredibly much. Sometimes we make things in our lives too important to us and they become idols that control us and make us do unspeakable, terrible things to ourselves and to others. And whether they leaves scars on our arms, our hearts, or both, God wants to take those scars and make them beautiful and give you a taste of Heaven that will change you FOREVER! You will never EVER be the same again!
Listen to this song and really think about it and get into it. Let it move you. Don't exit off halfway through. If you don't have 8 minutes to spare, come back when you do because this song is so amazing. I hope you have a blessed day.

Hello 2013!
This is my song to bring in the New Year. God is worthy of every single thing, he is holy, he is life, he is everything. He deserves everything I have, my whole life and everything that is dear to me and everything I have ever placed above him is coming down.
Happy new year!
Happy new year!

Life Is War
I am still not sure what to say about the shooting on Friday. It is shocking that a person can look at the faces of 20 children and shoot them. I don't care if he was mental, that's not an excuse to have no value for life, especially one of a small child.
And I am also in shock at the speeches Barack Obama made. I don't know if I should trust it or what to make of it and if he meant it, I don't know if I can trust that he is going to follow through.
Regardless of his good or bad intentions, what he said was true. We have to change. All of us. I cannot express this enough, people have been too lenient for far too long. Our society has gone insane, we embrace sin and indulge in the things we want. We get caught up in our own little worlds, unaware of the bigger story.
That argument you had with your coworker isn't going to matter in eternity. The outfit you wore to that gathering that didn't match? That won't matter either. The mess your kid spilled on the kitchen floor today, the fight you had with your parents yesterday, even the loved one that passed into Heaven last week--none of it matters in an eternal perspective. The man who shot all those people was angry over an argument he'd had the day before, and that's how he decided to deal with it. Sounds like ungratefulness and lack of reality to me.
If we don't change, this will continue. People get violent because they don't think the consequences are that large, and they think that only their feelings matter and no one else's. We all must stop looking at ourselves except to see what needs to change, and the rest of the time? For crying out loud, just love each other! There is no reason for any of this. There is a huge difference in simply disagreeing with someone and/or disliking them, and flat out hating them. That is what leads to these kinds of things happening. Stop hating the person, and start hating what they do! That is what will bring others to the truth, is when we show it to them in a loving way instead of treating them like they should know better, like they are the scum of the earth for not seeing it your way. If they aren't in ignorance, we must still be patient.
Life is not ever going to be easy, Jesus guaranteed that.
Life is war, and we are supposed to fight for our souls and for each others'. We are all called to serve God and each other, no matter what that may require. And when we are down and wounded, we can call on God to help us. Always. And if we refuse to trust God and see that...it's only downhill from here.
We just have to stop. That's all it requires. If we keep doing the same thing, we will keep getting the same result. Nothing changes until we do. Get over yourselves and your problems, we only have a short time on this earth and we have to make the best of it. Life is war, so get up and start fighting. And not each other, our war is with the unseen.
Goodnight everyone.

Better Days
I hear the popcorn popping. Dad whistling. My mom laughing. My favorite singer on The Voice (Cassadee Pope) singing on the television. I see the lights on our tree, Libby's pretty face, and I think, "Is this real?"
Dad has a new job, and he is like a changed man. You can tell the weight has come off his shoulders. I saw my best friends last night, and I love them to death. Kelsey is even getting into fashion, and she can totally rock the vintage look. My little sissy is growin' up!
And miss Kimberly..precious child. She makes me smile every single time I look at her.
Last year, I posted that all I wanted for Christmas was a chance to find better days. I can say honestly that this has been a very, very tough year. I can't believe we made it. Out of all the pain, the anger, the struggles, depression and even death of loved ones, God has still managed to bring me better days.
Yes, I know, we don't have long till the world "supposedly" ends. Which, by the way, is scheduled before my 16th birthday!! No fair!
Anyway, I thank God for better days. And here is a shoutout to the many people I know who are going through tough things in their lives-
Do not ever give up, my friend. If you are reading this, I know that you doubt you may ever make it, but I am telling you that if you stay patient and push through, you will. God will be there for you every single step of the way. He may not fix it, he is not a genie in a bottle. But he will work everything out for good to those who love him, even the ugliest things. Those things that are glaring in your face and you can't see past them. Addiction, fighting, cancer, strained relationships, financial troubles..whatever it is, let God take it. Just throw it. He is just simple, it is people that complicate it. He will give you truth no matter how hard it is to take and will love you through each and every thing.
I love you. Don't give up.
(Note: sorry this is secular, I couldn't find the Christian version. Lyrics are unchanged, I previewed the video.)

Untangle
Yesterday I was putting up our Christmas tree and all the branches were tangled and matted from being in a box all year and, as a lot of you probably know, fixing all those branches to look realistic can be highly frustrating!!
While I was getting impatient, mom walked in the living room and I exclaimed, "You see this, mom? This is my life! Full of stupid, complicated branches for me to untangle!" her answer was something along the lines of, "Yup, mine too."
I know that I should be thankful this week, but as more things mount the less thankful I feel. I thought long and hard about this whole "thankfulness" deal.
What was it about anyway? What good did it do? Would it really hurt to tell God thank you even though I am not doing okay right now? I mean, since when did Jesus ever complain about his life? If he could do what he did for me, who am I to gripe about my problems?
But then I wondered...if he wants me to thank him...then he must have a reason. What was the reason? Did he just like hearing how great he is? Not that he isn't great, but I would have a hard time trusting someone with that attitude, whether they were aware of their amazing ability or not.
I came to the conclusion that he wants us to thank him because its simply the normal thing to do. What do you say when someone does you a favor or gives you a gift? You say thank you.
God has done a lot for us. Waaaay more than we deserve. So whether our branches are still tangled or if they are beginning to straighten out, we need to praise him in spite of our circumstances. Not because he wants to take from us, but because he knows it will increase our joy and get our focus off of our problems and back on him, where we can be content with what we have. And with him, we have a lot.
In the meanwhile, he will help us untangle the branches.
Happy (late) Thanksgiving everyone!

I'll be the one to never doubt..
I'll never doubt..
I'll never doubt..

Our God Is Greater
Okay so, just so everyone knows, I absolutely love my Jesus. He is more amazing than I can even describe. Lately, I have found myself falling more in love with him and wanting to talk about him constantly. I'm sure some of my friends are wondering what the deal is with me. Haha!
This has honestly been a really, really tough year. I have had a lot of low points, and right now my dad just said that the shower has no warm water.
Yikes..I hate plumbing problems.
But our God is greater than all of our "issues". He can handle anything, and we can cling to him when we need it most.
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?

Yikes..I hate plumbing problems.
But our God is greater than all of our "issues". He can handle anything, and we can cling to him when we need it most.
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?

Haiti
Hey everyone! I have an update!
Its big news.
You ready for this?
...Are you sure?
Okay I'll quit messing around...
...
I'm going on a mission trip to Haiti in April!
It hasn't quite sank in yet, but I'm excited all the same. I'll be going with people who've already been, so it's a little less nerve-wracking..but I would appreciate prayers in the preparation and fundraising. Thanks all!
