"To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach for another is to risk involvment. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To believe is to risk failure. To live is to risk dying. BUT RISKS MUST BE TAKEN, BECAUSE THE GREATEST HAZARD OF LIFE IS TO RISK NOTHING. Those who risk nothing may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot feel, grow, change, learn, live, love. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. ONLY A PERSON WHO RISKS IS FREE." - Anonymous
RETREAT!!!!
yo. i just went on the most awesome retreat i have been to in my whole entire life. not an exaggeration. the senior high kids at my school, all 60 of us or so, went to Hayden Lake for 3 days to chill and get into God. the entire message was about dying to self. especially in worship. idk about y'all out there, but i get SO self-conscious in my worship. when i'm supposed to be on my knees before God heart-wise, all i can think about is "if i raise my hands, will others see me as self-righteous? if i belt the song out, will i get pegged as a freak? are ppl staring at me right now?" THAT IS SO SCREWED UP!! worship is an act between you and God, cliche but true. no one else should matter. the cool part of the retreat was the fact that, out of the 60-odd kids that went, about 50 of them all decided to be less self-conscious in their worship. it was so awesome. instead of just standing there with hands in their pockets, kids were singing and crying and throwing their hands up with all their hearts. it was so cool. then the guest pastor said "pretend Jesus stepped out of the room for a minute. he's gonna come back in, and i'll introduce him. how often do we applaud Jesus' prescence like we do our favorite sports team?" so he "introduced" Jesus, and the room went berserk. IT WAS SO AMAZING!! ppl were screaming and falling to their knees and crying, letting it all out. i can't even describe how awesome it was.
Blog In Response To Dancer246
Ok, Dancer246 (little sis) said in her latest blog that she does nothing exciting or dangerous. And yet, two sentences before that, she mentioned she had gone to prom. My word, you should've seen her at prom! Andi, I'm doing this so you are completely embarrassed. She totally danced with more guys than any other single gal in our group of 13. If that's not dangerous, Idk what is....
Check out the pics!
Look at the pics that are my photobook. They were taken by a friend of mine, who's an amateur photographer. He's good! Just wanted to give him a shoutout. I don't think he has a purevolume page, but we'll just talk about him behind his back. lol!
Competition Y'all
Here's the deal. My lil sis is posting more blogs than I on her purevoulme account. And frankly, they're about nothing intellegent whatsoever. Check out Dancer246, you'll see what I mean. So, for the sake of friendly competition, I added this blog. In honor of Andi. Whoot.
