Hey guys!
My favorite Christian song right now is "Unusual" by Francesca Battistelli. It's such an upbeat and powerful song. I really would like for you all to try listening to it!
Favorite lyric in the song:
You're so unusual, I think you're beautiful.
You're so unusual, standing up in Jesus' name.
Just let them call you "strange"
This is so so important guys. It's okay to be different because different is beautiful too! Standing up for our beliefs and standing up for our passions are so important. When I stand up for what I believe in, I feel scared a lot of the times. Even though I feel this way, I know that it's the right way.
It's okay if people think you are strange for standing up for something that you believe in, because I won't think it's strange and God won't think it's strange.
It's definitely not easy, but we can do all things with God. [:

Midwinter 2013
Hey guys~!
Wow. Midwinter this year was incredible.
It was so amazing being around so many lovely people. I can't believe how nice everybody is!! I was crying so much because everyone is just so beautiful inside and out.
Thank you all so much for being such awesome people.
Thank you God for being so good, and putting all these people in my life.
I always get really scared when people ask me to do worship, but I am SO glad people pushed me into doing worship, because I had such an amazing time.
During Midwinter, I was reminded to encourage others, and be the light. Our speaker Lauren Fukuzawa said,"Be that thing that ignites something else."

Loving Others
Hello! :D
I don't know about you guys, but I have been having a crazy week so far, and I do feel a bit overwhelmed with everything. It's going to be really hard for me but I want to try and have a positive attitude towards everything, and I encourage you all to try to make the best out of everything as well.
Today, I wanted to talk about loving others. I know that loving others can be really difficult at times. For example, I am not getting along with a certain staff member from my school, but I really want to love that person. Even though we don't get along, I want to choose to believe that everybody has some good in them, and I want to be that person who cares for others no matter what. I think that loving others has gotten easier for me throughout the years because I have learned to be happier, and I have learned to see the beauty in all people.
It's perfectly normal to not like someone at times, but I know that loving others will help spread the love that God gives us everyday.

Are you thankful?
Hello! I hope you all are doing really well. :D
Today, I wanted to talk about gratitude! I feel that often we seem to get so caught up with so many problems, and negativeness, that we forget about how blessed we are in our lives.
Yesterday, my best friend's class had to write a gratitude letter to anyone they feel thankful for, and she wrote to me. I thought it was really rather sweet, and I was almost in tears! haha. I just want to tell you all that a simple note of thank you meant so so so much to me. I think that telling someone that you are thankful for them really makes a difference in how that person will emotionally be throughout the day. So, when I received that letter from my friend, I decided to message a word of encouragement to a couple people online! It made me feel better, and it made them feel happier in general.
So I encourage you all to have gratitude this week! You don't have to message people or tell them that you are thankful for them if you don't feel comfortable, but I encourage you to make a list of things you are thankful for. :D
My Gratitude List (9/10/13):
I'm thankful for...
1. my lovely friends that make me happy all the time.
2. the delicious lunch that my mom made for me today.
3. having the opportunity to receive education and having the chance to make a positive impact to other people in the future because of my education.

There is only one of you in the entire universe
Hi there! I hope that you are all doing well, especially with the routine of school back in our lives. Today, I wanted to address the topic of love.
Although it's important to talk about loving others, I wanted to focus on loving yourself. I think this is difficult for a lot of people because we always tend to pull out our flaws and our failures.
God loves us no matter what, and he thinks that we are all beautiful, and we should learn to see the beauty in ourselves. I believe that we are all beautiful, and no one should ever feel ugly, or unworthy. There was a period of my life when I felt completely worthless, and it's honestly one of the worst feelings you will ever feel. Now that I know that I'm not worthless, I want other people to know that too. I truly believe that everybody is here for a reason, and everybody who thinks they're worthless, deserves a huuuuuuuge hug. It's hard to love yourself, but it's not impossible, because all things are possible in God's hands.

Youth Group Kick-Off!
Hi everybody! Today was the youth group kick-off! I had an amazing time during the kick-off, and I hope everybody else had a great time as well! (:
Here's a collage of the cakes we made during the kick-off:
Anyways, some of us have started school already, and some of us are starting real soon. As we go back into the routine of having school in our lives, I hope that we can all remember to praise and reach out to God. All of us will go through some struggles during the school year, but I know for certain that God will always be there for us and He has great plans for all of us! (:
