I'm going to FLY!

So my Dad's going to Reno this weekend, and he ended up being able to get me a plane ticket to go with him! Yey!
I'm a little bit nervous because it will be my first time flying in an airplane!
I'm really excited, and I'm glad that my first time will be with my Dad.
In talking with friends, we realized that I haven't been to church (South Hills) in three weeks! And that's because I've been traveling/touring with my Dad on the weekends to places where he goes to sing. Let me tell you that I have the most awesome, uncomfortable, teary, loving, blessed weekends when I'm out on the road ministering to local hispanic churches! I get tired sometimes, but I can only imagine how tired my Dad gets at juggling his job at the Home Depot, and his full-on singing ministry! So it's my honor to be part of a ministry that is out to encourage hispanic Christians across the West.


I've been doing this new thing; I carry my Bible with me. I used to carry a reference Bible with me. Then I went smaller, and bought one of those little Bibles that's only the New Testament. I used it a lot, but whenever I needed quick access to anything, I'd have a hard time finding things. So now I've been carrying my study Bible (the one I study daily) and I've been loving it. While my Dad was singing this past weekend, I came across some really cool passages that touched my heart.

I'm about to be a Senior in high school, and there's one question that I can't escape. It comes in many different disguises, but it's, "What do you want to be?". My Junior year has been filled with changing my mind about what my major will be, and what college I'll go to. One thing that I have to STICK in my head is the fact that I need to live just "one day at a time". And today I was at Ross, looking for a gift in the house-stuff section, and I came across this frame with an Abraham Lincoln quote. I couldn't believe how cool it was, so I snapped a picture of it with my phone.


Mr. Lincoln makes me feel better about not knowing who I'll be in 5 years. I don't know what I'll be... but I'll be a good one.
