Judgement

My pet peeve is when people judge other people on just how they look. I mean, doesn't bother you?

One of my family members (plural) judges people ALL the time. I've talked to them about it but yet they still do it. Here's an example on how they judge(true story):

Them: "Hey did you see that girl with the skinny jeans and that tight short top?"
Someone else:"Yeah"
Me: "No. I didn't" (i was thinking oh no not again.)
Them: "Well it looked disgusting. I mean, with her belly hanging out."
Me: I stay silent. I don't want to make them mad. But i disagreed. I mean its her choice to wear that top, not mine and i respect that.
Them: "well do think that they should wear that tight of skinny jeans?"
Me: "Yes, i wear tight skinny jeans. she can wear them too."
Them: They stay silent. after a minute they changed the subject.

Doesn't that make you sad? I mean what if she just found Christ and was trying to change her life and didn't have any money to buy new clothes? What if she just got over an addiction?

It just makes me hurt that some people judge people by just how they look. What if someone judge you that way?

Why I started Writing...

The title is plain and simple. Why did I start writing? Well, probaly because I simply enjoy it... I just love writing... It's like another world for me. I can write my own book, how i want. I started writing a little bit after I started reading Christian Romance novels. I started reading and then I thought "Oh, why don't I write a book?". I just popped up in my head. Even though I'm young to be a writer, I was encouraged to write. I am encouraged to write. I love that God has given me the ability to write.

30 Hour Famine

Well, let's just say it was hard... but totally worth it.

It gave me something to think about, people in Africa (even in America) mostly eat without food for days even weeks. i don't know how they can do it. it's hard even drinking TONS of juice and i mean TONS. and starving people aometimes don't even have juice or any other drink.

While, before, and after the 30 hour famine my youth group and i raised money for children in Africa. We played a "survial" game in which you got a card and it told you what tribe you were from, what "disese" you had, and then you had to play an intire game without using a part of your body. i lost my foot, so i had to hop around on one single foot through the whole game. that was hard. and on the card it told a story of a child that had the same "diesese" has you. it hurt to find out that a little girl that was 7 years old had lost a leg because she drank "uncooked" water.

25,000 kids ages 5 and under die everyday from poverty, hunger, and disease. 14,000 kids die from hunger alone everyday. Every seven seconds, another child dies from hunger.

I'm very glad i did the 30 hour famine.

Life...

There's a word that has a meaning... it's called life...

When you hear that word, what do you think? what do you do? what do you feel?

You may think nothing.... you may do nothing... but what about feel??
Feeling- the capacity to respond emotionally.
Do you feel emotionally when you hear/read the word... life. well... do you?
Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I don't even stop and think about it. I thought about it today. And, after i thought about it for a couple a minutes, i got all these words that involve life. How about love? forgiveness? family? friends? joy? sadness? What is in your life? Does it involve God, most importantly?
