Pray


I never felt like I broke the ice with this beautiful girl Madison. She was so deep in what the world expects from us, that I feel like she couldn't get out. I suppose I am being dramatic, but I'm not. I find it very important that I still pray for her, although sometimes I find myself caught up in a million different things. She lives in Canada, so I never get to see her; it makes it harder to be a good example. Prayer seems to be my last resort when it should have been my first.

Happy? Fathers Day

I won’t ever fully say I love father’s day. Not that I don't love my father, because I truly do, the whole day always feels weird to me though. So, here's how it starts... I picked out a card for my dad, $3.45 cents worth of creativity. I sat down to write in it. The... sentimental, guppy, love stuff. I wanted to be honest so I didn't just say, "Oh dad, you’re amazing, you’re just so great, and I just love you so much." I felt a weird bitterness. I couldn't say it was directly toward my dad, but I knew I was holding something against him. I feel like he has so much to learn, as well as I, but I get so frustrating thinking about all the times he's hurt my mom, or me and my sister. I know these things, according to the world, shouldn't even be brought up on such an important day like this. Then again, I would like to believe that I don't think the way the world does, fortunately. So, stuck in a hard place? I think so. This is kind of what I wrote, "Happy fathers day! I love you so much and I want you to know I'm proud to call you my dad. I can see that you are trying to understand mom and us girls and I am thankful. I love you." I meant every word. From my heart. I still can't seem to shake the idea that I was angered, bitter, frustrated, something, anyone? I can't pin point what I'm feeling about this situation. What I do know is that I am blessed by a father who is trying to become a man of God. Although sometimes I feel like he gives up and just doesn't want to try any more, I see his efforts occasionally. Is that wrong for me to examine him like that? Knowing fair well that I have flaws people can't even beginning to describe? Well. Caught right dead smack in the middle, isn't it wonderful. I will have to think more, but overall, I have an amazing father, that's for sure.

Helthly High

I have energy to dance, hum... 3 hours straight. It feels good. I can't express what dancing does for me. It's my healthy high. I get out stress from my day, meet people who have a passion for dance, and I get to do what I love, and I get to show how God has blessed me. I love to move. I love to dance. Well. Considering It is 2:44am, and I've been up since 5am, I think I am going to crash. Hard! Once again, I have found a healthy high, and it feels good.

Hard Work

This is our Lounge area where people can get drink and relax before the service. I made it a more grown up feel, mature. I also believe it came out better then I had hoped for.


This is the BEAUTIFUL girls bathroom! It turned out way better then I ever expected, and the girls fell in love with the design.


This is our ministry corner, where the leaners can pray for the youth. It took a lot of work to finish up this part although it looks very simple. My favorite room is actually this one!


This was a table I made out of news paper and this really cool stuff called glass top. It turned out pretty good!

Good Morning Blog

Today I don't have much planned, I have to go meet my trainer a little later, but besides that, I am free to relax. What a concept! I have been feeling weird lately, like, not myself. I can't pin point it, but I know something is wrong, or different, cause every time I write I feel burdened... That is surely not who I am. I guess today I'm going to spend time reading the Word. I need it. Wednesday when I was at youth group, my pastor Jason said something that stuck with me, hard. He said, "If the devil can't make you bad, he'll keep you busy." I was so touched by that considering I have been kept so busy that I didn't have "TIME" for God. Forgive me Lord. Goodness, I feel really bad about that. Well I will try my best not to keep busy, because I wont let the devil make me bad. I WON'T.

The Simple Side

Family is the most important thing to me. I was going through some old pictures and came across these. I am blessed.




It Is Love


My dad took this picture, and I fell in love. He was so cute when he took this he said, "Sheena, it almost looks like a heart!" I dont have much else to say about this picture, it kind of speak for itself!
