Tech Girls Reunion 2010

Here is a video I made of our recent Texas Tech Girls reunion...it is amazing to know that through the years there will always be friends that are there for a season and then gone the next, but then there are those rare friendships that are created in a crucial point in your life and through each season of life, no matter where you are in the world, you know they aren't going anywhere...that is what these girls are to me! I love yall!

A Merry Christmas to everybody! A Happy New Year to the world!

The Power of Your Name.

Surely children weren’t made for the streets
And fathers were not made to leave
Surely this isn’t how it should be, let Your Kingdom come

Surely nations were not made for war
Or the broken meant to be ignored
Surely this just can’t be what You saw
Let Your Kingdom come, here in my heart

And I will live to carry on compassion
To love a world that’s broken, to be Your hands and feet
And I will give with the life that I’ve been given and go beyond religion
To see the world be changed by the power of Your name

Surely life wasn’t made to regret
And the lost were not made to forget
Surely faith without action is dead
Let Your Kingdom come, Lord break this heart

Jesus Your name is a shelter for the hurting
Your name is a refuge for the weak
Only Your name can redeem the undeserving
Jesus Your name holds everything I need

Suicide PSA Choose Life

Hey everyone! Just wanted to write yall and let you know a bit of what we have been doing these last few weeks. We started on a group project and were told to choose from 4 different topics. Our group chose the topic of Suicide in Switzerland. We did a research paper the first week and looked deeper into the fact that Switzerland being extremely beautiful and rich is actually in the top 20 of most suicidal country and number 6 regarding men and suicide. The research was really difficult to study because of how dark the subject is, but what we found was really amazing. The research paper is long, so I won't post it, but if you are interested in reading it, let me know and I can send it to you. After we wrote the research paper, we had to do a flyer, poster, video and web design related to our topic. We chose to encourage those who are in pain, or those who are suffering with thoughts of suicide. Our name was "Choose Life" and our slogan was "The world is not the same without you." Above is our video made for the project. Spread it around and send it to whoever you know who might need to know that they are needed and wanted in this world. That they matter and without them, it is just not the same! Our group also made a web site www.wix.com/chooselifeicd/home. I wish I could show our flyer and poster, because we found this cool paper at a hardware store that is reflective and on the paper we have our saying "the world is not the same without you" and when you look at the paper it is a mirror and shows yourself. It was so cool! I wish someone would take this and make it an actual campaign!

So, it was great to finish our project and think wow, three months ago I would never have thought I could have created something like this and it was really cool how we learned how to create with God. We would constantly pray and listen to what God had to say about the subject and read in his word and hear his voice on where to go. I am so thankful for these last 3 months! I am also SOOO excited to go home for a month and be in Texas for Christmas. Then I will be going to England for 2 years and helping with the Olympics outreach in London 2012, but more on that as it gets closer :)!! Once again, I am so extremely blessed to have you around the world praying for me and supporting me! I think I have learned more about my passions in these 3 months than my entire life! It has been an exciting, frustrating, busy, sleepless, fun, crazy, adventurous time I will never forget! If any of you want some Swiss Chocolate, write me and I can bring it home! Thanks for everything!!
