A Prayer..

2011-04-09T15:50:00.000-07:00

God, you are truly almighty. Take away this pain and regret. Make me new and help me walk in the correct way, to guide me through my life to your will. Though I will face many different trials and temptations, be my shield and counselor. I pray that you would be by my side through thick and thin, sin and toil, and love and kindness. I love you God. You have a perfect will. Help me line my life for you and to be your witness.

Amen.

Latest Journal Entry - Needing God Through Troublesome Times

2011-03-29T10:55:00.000-07:00

So lets see...

Back in February of 2009, I had started a relationship with a girl that lasted 8-9 months. It was ungodly and behind my parent's back. They tried stopping it three times but I continued after each. On the fourth time they succeeded and took away all privileges and everything. So the relationship slowly faded away. I also realized that the girl didn't really love me because she immediately started dating guys like crazy after me. This broke my heart yet made me thankful that I wasn't in a relationship with her. I am glad my parents got me out of it. I was extremely rebellious to my parents, I was sinning against God, and I was a jerk to everyone and my family during that time. The only thing I learned in that 8-9 months was how to do a better job of sneaking around. That was terrible and extremely sinful on my part. Because of that it was easier to do it again in a different relationship.

After a month or two of staying out of a relationship and trying to do good again, I had started another relationship. It started by chatting on Gmail and the conversations slowly got more intimate and more personal. Then after a month or two of that I had asked her if she loved me. That is where it got bad. This relationship lasted 10 months and during this relationship I gave more of my heart, more of my time, and more of my energy and thoughts. At the same time I was trying to focus on college and God. Evidently the relationship took the number one position on everything. It was again behind my parents backs but this time they had no idea for 9 months. During this time I got my first kiss. We also shared our virginity with each other. At the time, this was amazing to me and it was a sign of true love in my sinful eyes. We thought we loved each other and we did, but this was not a Godly kind of love. It was a sinful worldly kind of love. It was probably more lust than love. I now regret loosing my virginity and this was about 2 weeks ago that they caught us. Before they caught us we knew that it was fornication and that it was a major sin. We didn't have God in us and I believe that because of that it was easier for that to happen. I am not using that as an excuse because it was certainly a choice, but its also what happens when God is not in your life. This relationship was on a totally different level then the last one, but the common thing in both were, they were formed out of a worldly lust and view and they were complete rebellion and sin. This one ended with my parents almost having to stop the ministry, which would have been really bad for this town. My dad does tons of work for this town and using my dad and mom, God has changed this town tremendously. If they had stopped then this whole town would have slowly got worse I believe. But, God is now doing a work in my life.

My parents sat down with me the night they found out and I confessed everything. They had a hard time believing it was everything because of how many times I had broken their trust in the past and I don't blame them for it. They talked to me about what I should have done and about why it was wrong and they have helped me a lot. I still look at them and can't believe they still love me. I have made some very bad mistakes and I wouldn't have known how to deal with a child either without making himself feeling so bad that he commits suicide. They are so amazing and God works through them in many mighty ways. I am glad that God has never left me through this time. Without him continuing to be refreshed in my mind and to be constantly reminded of him, then I think I would be in a much worse spot than I am now.

One of my biggest problems now is getting over this other girl. I am still feeling attached to her and if I didn't still feel attached it all would have been false and fake for 10 months but I knew it wasn't. I wish that I had not lead her into sin and that she was still pure before God, but now I have helped her loose each other's purity and it tears me up inside. I just wish now that God would be speaking to her and helping her through her tough times. I feel very responsible for what happened considering I was the one who started the whole "relationship", but it was a choice on both our parts so its not only my fault. I also believe that it is kind of part of the consequence of a sinful relationship that I can't get her off my mind. I just ask God to take away those thoughts because that is not what I am supposed to be focussing on right now. I hope his will is the result of all this. I do not want to fall into this trap again and I don't want to forsake him. yet I don't want to leave someone hurt and ruined because of a choice I was involved in. It would leave tons of guilt on me and I already feel very guilty.

The reason I am writing this is because its good to get all this out of my system and the Bible says: "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." James 5:16 (ESV)

PK Retreat '10

2010-09-30T09:01:00.000-07:00

September 27th, 2010 I went to Pastor Kids Retreat.

When I first arrived we all instantly played games. After games for a little bit we went and settled our stuff in the cabins and then went to our camp opening meeting. After the camp opening we ate lunch and started getting used to the place. I met a few really cool guys and we played guitar and hung out during the whole camp. The first meeting we repented our sins and met with God for forgiveness. That night I felt really refreshed and much better. The next day we had a meeting about getting ready for our date with God. If you knew you were going on a date with a girl or guy that you really liked you would be thinking about it all day and be getting yourself ready for it. We learned that thats the same way we should think about our dates with God. Then that night we went on our date with God. It was awesome and very refreshing and he lifted the burden that was upon us pastor kids. The next morning we focused on how we need to take the stand and unite and fight back the enemy with God. Then the camp ended the 29th. The retreat was filled with games, snacks, friends, relaxation, and most importantly God.

Can't wait until next year!

School again...

2010-09-13T20:53:00.000-07:00

Well, school has started and it has not really changed. Its the same old same old, just a little bit harder. School for us this year is taking place in our house which is quite cool because some of our friends are doing it with us. It makes it a lot better and more fun.

Since the last time I have posted I have found some new hobbies. One of them is StarCraft 2. It is a Strategy game made by Blizzard and it is extremely fun if you like Real Time Strategy games (games where you control almost like a city with little army dudes and go kill other cities or just economy games like that). I don't know what it is but those games are just so fun! Maybe its because God called me to be a leader and I just love strategy and leading... Ha ha. If anyone reading this blog has a StarCraft 2 account then please send me an email. Another one of my soon to be hobbies is the iPod Touch 4g that I have been waiting for, for so long! I literally have been waiting for an iPod Touch with a camera since before the 3g... So Yah now that they have that. I am going to buy one soon.

News on my car: Well... Good news and Bad news. I got the oil pan off and now I need to somehow get it out of the way. But to do that I need to unbolt a couple parts off the axle to drop it down or I need to lift the engine. I am going for the axle thing because it sounds easiest. So yah... All I need is some time and motivation. And I think I have time. I just use it for Farmville and StarCraft 2. Probably Shouldn't be using my time for that though.

Also If you want you can check out my Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/personwithak
It has some new videos every once in a while.

My Car

2010-06-09T10:14:00.000-07:00

Well, I just got a new car. Its an AMC Eagle. They are pretty sweet! I changed the steering wheel on it yesterday to a racing styled one and now I have to take the oil pan off so I can replace the rear main seal. Then it wont eat through gas so much. I am getting excited about summer. Once I get my license I will be able to drive around anywhere in my new car! Hopefully summer won't fly by very fast. Lately I have had lots of fun with Tien', Min, and Auston. I wish Tien' didn't have to leave. I am going to miss him a lot! We are having lots of fun before he leaves which is in like 1-2 days. The Min Leaves the 17th. And then the Rich's leave the 21st! Everyone is leaving.... :( I hope this schooling program that my mom is setting up called ONVI is going to work well. It sounds awesome and we might do some good stuff for the town. Oh and I recently painted my room. It is pretty cool. Toady I am going to try and get more bolts off of my car, and also I am going to try and break up more cement in the back yard.

Gandalf's experience.

2010-02-22T21:56:00.000-08:00

Gandalf recently went to the vet because he got himself really sick. He had some sort of cold and then started having trouble breathing. The vet said that there are 6 different types of levels of heart murmurs. 1 being not a big deal and 6 being close to death. He has a level 6 heart murmur. I was really scared when I heard this. Fortunately, she says that it isn't contributing to his sickness. She gave us some medicine and we have to give to him twice a day until it runs out. He is getting much better! Here is a video of a week later.

This is compared to laying on the ground breathing hard, moving hardly at all and not eating.

Thank you God!

A day at Spokane

2010-02-17T21:12:00.000-08:00

Well... Monday 12/16/10 I went to spokane with Auston Rich, Min, and Martha Cook. Auston stayed the night sunday and since it was President's Day on monday we got up at 7:30 to go to Martha's house to leave. We left around 9 and we wanted to leave around 8 but oh well. The ride over was good and when we got to spokane we went shopping at the River view mall which didn't have a lot of what we were looking for, but we decided to look around anyway. We went to that mall specifically to watch Avatar, my new favorite movie. We watched Avatar on the big IMAX screen and in 3D which I've never done, either of those. It was truly a new and exciting experience! I am definitely going to get the movie when it comes out on iTunes. After Avatar we went to the North Town Mall and Auston bought StarCraft(computer game) and then we went all around the mall being bored while Martha went to Costco. We all went to Walmart on the way home and Min and I bought StarCraft there. Now all three of us (Min, Auston and I) have StarCraft and we are going to play online together more often. Our drive home was safe, just like the one going there. I had an awesome day hanging out with Min and Auston and I can't wait until we do it again!

Past Week

2010-02-01T10:47:00.000-08:00

So my past week has been pretty cool. Wednesday I went to the school and helped Sansei Brian teach kids Jujitsu (Martial Art) at the school for P.E.. I worked with some of the older guys and it was a very interesting experience teaching guys that are older then me, especially since they normally are the ones teaching me. I also went to youth and learned how we can trust God even though we can't see him. Thursday I went to Jujitsu and I was surprised that I made my dad tap out when we grappled. But I'm sure if he really wanted to he could make me tap. Friday I went to Outdoor Ed. Saturday I went to a men's breakfast with Seong Min (Korean Exchange Student) in Colville at the Colville Assembly of God. Then we went home and went to a basket ball game that was amazing! Best game of the season. I was on JV and we won by like 30 pts and the GV lost by like 20 pts and the BV won by like 10 pts. It was my best game of the season, even though I only made one basket. It also was the last game for JV of the season. Sunday I went to a game night thing at our church with a few friends and we had an awesome time! Today I read Numbers 11. It talked about how the Israelites were complaining and then Moses was upset that God is giving him all that weight and so then God gave some of it to the other leaders. Its a pretty cool chapter. I am going to guitar lessons again finally, yea!!!!!

A day at SMOS

2010-01-29T18:09:00.000-08:00

Today I went up Sivercrown Mountain for Silvercrown Mountain Outdoor School. It is a class every friday that I do. I go with Weslie Hegel, Emitt Simmons, Tyler McGee, Kita Ward, Bethanne Kelley (My Sister), Paul Kelley (My Brother), Leland Brodahl, Josiah Arrell, Mike McGee (Tyler's dad), and Gerhard Carlson. Its definitely an energetic bunch. We built fires today in groups of 2. Leland and I were in one group and We got our fire built in 2 matches in the snow without using paper, birch bark or pitch. I may become the tech guy for SMOS which means I will be the website editor and builder. Bryan Carlson (Gerhard's Son) might teach me how to work the website. I can't wait, it'll be a really good learning experience, since thats what I'm going to go to college to do. The website is http://www.exploresmos.org/. Here's a video of us having a little fun on ice.

The daily

2010-01-24T11:06:00.000-08:00

This last week has been alright. I got to see my friend Gabe. He moved to Phoenix Arizona recently. Then he came back to say good-bye and that was cool. We went up to outdoor ed on friday and that was cool. We traveled down the canyon at Mr. Carlson's house. I can't wait until we get to rock climb up there. Its so beautiful.

I'm starting to like Amber Caparas, the American Idol contestant. She is one christian who is on fire for God and now is in the spotlight of america. She has some power right now, that is so cool.

Basket ball has been ok. We recently lost against St. George. They are pretty good. We lost by like 40 points. It was bad. If you follow me on Twitter you would know. My username is 15Kenneth15.

I'm going to sum my post up with a really funny joke:

A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY. The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game? The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap. Politely she declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.

He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise versa."

Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00." This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer.

"Okay," says the lawyer," your turn." She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. No answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress. No answer. Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500.00.

The blonde says, "Thank you," puts her head on the pillow and goes back to sleep.

The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?" Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

Are you ready to drive yet?

2010-01-11T11:01:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, my mom, sister and I were in Colville all day. We went to church and beth went to her volleyball practice. Through the entire day I was reading those Washington Driver Guides. My mom really really wants me to be able to drive. She was wishing the entire day that I had my drivers license. I was able to drive except just recently my permit expired, so I couldn't. Now my mom wants me to go in and get my license. I really want to get my license but at the same time, I haven't driven in like 2 months. I don't want to fail the Driving Test. I am still catching up on some reading for the test. But, I am still nervous about the test.

Thoughts...

2010-01-09T10:52:00.000-08:00

Lately my thoughts have been wildly going everywhere. It almost seems uncontrollable. I could be doing my history during school and learning about how the land is formed, and then all of the sudden I'd be thinking about the Ancient Language of the Elves in Lord of the Rings without even realizing it. My mind just trails off course so quickly. I think that has been my major issue lately. I keep getting sidetracked. I just have to keep my focus on God. Whenever I get depressed about what I am thinking about (forgetting what I'm thinking about is not what I should be thinking about) I just have to realize why I am depressed or feeling wrong and focus back on God. It works every time, too! Imagine that. God has been helping me a lot lately on not focusing about the past, but on the future, on the man I am to become. I am so thankful that God is always there for me in my times of troubles and depression. Thanks, God.

Passing On....day by day

2010-01-05T20:29:00.000-08:00

Another day gone well! I had an excellent time teaching kids at spanish today. Even though they were the tough one's today. We get 4 different age groups of kids and somehow the older ones are more rebellious......hmm.... I just got signed up for my new online college course for the second semester of spanish. Thank you mom for all the hard work you do for me on helping me get signed up for classes and just all my schoolwork stuff. I am truly blessed to have a mother like you! I can't wait to see what God wants to use me for with all this spanish. Maybe I'll be a famous mexican song writer and singer. I actually wouldn't mind doing that and I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind either! Today me and my dad started our workout schedule that we are doing together. Yesterday we finished our maxes and today we did 3 sets of 12 on each workout, and there are 12 workouts. It all is done on the BowFlex that we have. They are pretty handy workout machines, and it is a good reminder of how out of shape I got over winter break. But I am determined to fix that.

Kenny

Just another day...

2010-01-04T11:32:00.000-08:00

Well, today was my first day working out with my dad. I really enjoyed it! I'm not like surprised but I just think its cool. He comes with me to the school now when I go to teach spanish so I am spending a lot more time with him. It will give us a chance to build up our father-son relationship more. I am glad I will be spending more time with him and God. I am so excited to see what God has in store for me. I am reading an email devotional that automatically sends it to my email. It is called The Rebelution and their website is http://www.therebelution.com/ and I really like it.

My iMac

2010-01-02T18:24:00.000-08:00

Yah.....Its a New iMac 21.5 in. and it has a wireless keyboard and mouse.

New Year's Eve

2009-12-31T20:28:00.000-08:00

Hi all!! Guess what!!!!! Its New Years Eve, the last day of 2009. I think this year has been one of the most important of my life. I have learned so much since December 31, 2008. I am excited for this coming year and I can't wait to see what God has instore for me.

Kenny

So......yah

2009-12-30T12:57:00.000-08:00

Well.....I just recently got busted but I don't want to get into details, I am now doing all my schoolwork from my home with my dad (historchbearer.blogspot.com) and I will be working on my relationship between God and me. I am actually very happy that I will be doing this. These past days in winter break have been very long, boring and depressing and I think this past week has been the longest week of the year.....or it seems so. I posted some signs around Northport about snow shoveling and wood splitting and stuff like that so I can earn some money. I am also getting paid for working at the school and teaching little kids spanish. I am learning a lot from them as they are learning from me. Every little kid at the school tells me "Hola, Señor Kenny" as they pass me to class. I love teaching them.

Kenny

Just the latest update...

2009-09-04T15:00:00.000-07:00

Well, school has started! Why! No! Ugh! Well, ok ok.....its not that bad. I am actually enjoying school this year....so far. I am playing soccer on the Northport Team and I am having fun. Even though it took me a bit to get signed up...Lol. I am hoping my dad is doing alright in Kenya and everything is fine! This Classlink thing that my mom set up in school is really nice! I love my mom!

Stay tuned,
Kenneth

My trip at 2......

2009-08-31T21:14:00.000-07:00

Got up at 2:00 am this morning! We drove our dad to the airport in Spokane. He is leaving for a X-treme Team Event in Kenya! He is an awesome dad an I hope he has a safe trip. I drove for the first time on a freeway. It was kinda scary but fun at the same time. We stayed at Wal-Mart for like 3 hours waiting for stores to open....Lol. I drove home and then switched with my mom at Colville. I am going to miss you dad!

I love my Dad!
Kenneth

Updates of the past 2 days....

2009-08-31T19:19:00.000-07:00

Ok, Here we go! So the last post was about me at my grandparent's house. This is how the rest of that day went on. We left their house and went to go see my great grandfather. He wasn't home unfortunately, he was probably out golfing or something. So we decided to go out towards the water. We went to Washington State Park! It is an amazing place. We took lots of pictures that you will be able to see on my facebook profile. I might make a different blog just for pictures. So far we voted that as the place for Travis and Angie to get married (that's the reason we went to the coast). After a taking tons of pictures and looking at lots of awesome things we drove over Deception Pass Bridge! That's one huge and crazy bridge! Its super beautiful and dangerous at the same time. We were about to stop and walk over it but then everyone was hungry and so we continued to drive. We reached Dugualla Bay Farms for some blueberries, cucumbers and tomatoes. The were delicious! We continued to a town and stopped at Burger King. I ate 3 Jr. Whoppers....Wow! We went to an awesome beach where we decided to have it done there. We hiked up a trail and found an awesome old army fort and went into its dark tunnels.....it was really scary! I took pictures. Then we got dressed for the wedding. We hiked back to the beach and had the wedding there. It was beautiful, right on the beach and with a sunset in the background. It was unreal! After the wedding we went to Cascade Pizza! I love that restaurant! We then ended the glorious day with going home and going to bed.

The next day....
We got up the next morning and played our grandparents Wii. Those are fun. My Great Grandpa came over before leaving to go golf for the day. We hugged him and talked to him for a while. He's really old and we try to spend as much time with him as possible before he leaves. We packed up and left for the coast. In like the first 10 minutes the parents were dying for Starbucks Coffee. We drove over to my other Great Grandparent's house and they were there and we talked and hugged them......It was great! Then we went to my grandma's church. After that we stopped and got lunch stuff. Then we stopped at Diablo Lake Overlook and Washington Pass.....both incredible! I took lots of pictures! Had yummy ice-cream at Winthrop and then drove the rest of the way home, with people sleeping of and on as we drove for a long time. We dropped the Lisenbee's off at they're house and went the rest of the way home......

Amazing trip! I would love to do it again!

Well there it is,
Kenneth

Update #1

2009-08-28T08:58:00.000-07:00

I'm at my Grandparent's house today. I'm getting ready to eat some pancakes and sausages...Mmmm....My brother and Konrad aree playing the Wii. I fixed my grandmas computer screen resolution. Lol.... anyway here's just an update.

Stay Tuned!

Kettle Float Trip

2009-08-27T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well, I survived Kettle river once again. We normally float the Kettle river once a year. It was actually reasonable temperature this year. The trip itself was great! We got out up at Orient and then floated all the way down to Eye beach. There was the cliff jumping that we do every year, and there was the flipping over on the rapids. Some people got bruised on the rapids. The people that went were the Arrells, Jougets, Shorts, Kelleys, Cody Scott, Alexandra Balczewski, and Steve Henry. Speaking of Steve, he jumped off the cliffs with the rest of the kids and he did a backflip off a rope swing. He surprised a lot of people, including myself. I can't wait for the next trip already. These last few days have been kinda nerve racking. Just school starting up here in a little while is scary. I'm slightly excited though because I get to see everyone again and I'm getting closer to college. I'm heading to the coast here soon. I'll post all about it when I get back. Its a 3 day trip.

Stay tuned,

Kenneth

Biking...

2009-08-17T16:03:00.000-07:00

I just recently went on a bike trip as SMOS (Silvercrown Mountain Outdoor School). It was an awesome trip. The only thing I didn't like was it wasnt long enough! I would eventually like to do a cross-country trip. We started at the Northport School and went down main street and across the bridge and then up this road toward a road that went to sheep creek. We saw a guy that gold mines and he showed us some of his stuff. Everyone had a blast! We ate lunch and then rode back. Can't wait for the next thing to do in NAC!

.....Hi.....

2009-08-13T19:08:00.000-07:00

Im kinda bored, the last few days have been like that. I had a blast on a canoe trip just recently. We saw a bunch of tiny fish jumping with the canoes like dolphins. It was crazy! I was tired afterwards just from paddling a lot. I'm going to have to work out my arms more often...lol. I'm glad I can post again. Seems like I said I'd do it regularly and then I didn't. Sorry.....lol...Hope I can talk to you all again soon.....

Wow......

2009-08-05T12:36:00.000-07:00

Wow.....I havent been on this site in a while......oh well, its not like people look at it anyway. I have a an interesting summer and time since I last blogged. I wont tell all about it though. Its too long. I'll just start over.

So this last week I came home from a camping trip up at meadow lake. It was awesome and we had a blast! We were kinda bored though and we decided to go to Ione to get ice cream and swim in non leeched waters. But when we got to the river, there was a bunch of boats there and they werent just any boats. They were Hydros. It was awesome because they had a big race going and we watched for a while. We went back to the camp a little later. The only thing to do at the camp was like ride bikes. So we got a good workout from that. Well Im going to try to keep this blog updated but I dont know.

See ya'll

Each Year

2008-11-26T20:21:00.000-08:00

Christmas is coming! Every Year my Grandma Kelley sends each of her children and her grandchildren a special ornament (Its a tradition or something). This year she sent me this one.

(best I could get of it)

It's a snow globe that is an inch and a half tall! Its the smallest snow globe I've ever seen, also notice the little name at the bottom? It says "Ken", ain't that sweet? Well I thought it was. If my Grandma reads this, THANK YOU!

My Little Secret

Hello all, I just turned fifteen October 16th. I didn't really have a birthday party and my present is so big it has to be combined with Christmas and my birthday, so I have to wait till Christmas (Arrg!, of course its not that far off). My secret is now that I'm fifteen I CAN DRIVE! Pretty scary. So be watching the roads because there might be a crazy guy swerving everywhere like me. I have to have a person in the car that has had their license for five years, so I'm not completely unsupervised. Just thought I'd let you know.

The Trip To Silverwood!

2008-11-23T18:37:00.000-08:00

Our trip to Silverwood was very enjoyable! We had a blast hanging at Farragut Campgrounds and seeing Pend Orielle Lake. We also went kayaking in Pend Orielle Lake and we tipped our kayaks over (not what you're supposed to do). When we got in Silverwood we instantly went to Tremors. It's a tradition in our family that for the last four years we've ridden on Tremors first! I also can officially say that I have survived "The Aftershock!" Here are some pictures of it.

The picture on the top right is one of the entire roller coaster. Its total speed is 65.24 mph and is 1 minute and 32 seconds long. Its max G force is 4.5!

That is a lot of G force. The picture on the right is a vertical view of the highest point of the ride. Its height is 192 ft and the length of the track is 1204 ft! Thats amazing, and whats even better is I survived it. The rest of the trip went great. We had a lot of fun and I recommend taking a trip with a family or friends or taking a school field trip. We went with our Grandparents and it was a blast.

Isn't It Beautiful

Wow, I have the best Mom in the world(at least to me). She got me this laptop for school and it rocks. I have an online class that I have been doing on it. The laptop is called a HP Pavilion dv9000, and I'm not going to mention anything about the price. It has a built in web cam and 4GB of RAM(random access memory), which is really good and means it is fast. I like playing my stronghold games on it, because they play really fast. I also have a good stereo system at my house, and I hooked it up together and it is awesome. Anyway I just wanted to show it off, and by the way I am going to Silverwood soon and I am going to post about it so stay in tune.

High School Basketball

2008-06-25T09:02:00.000-07:00

Hello all, Its me again.

I am going in to the 9th grade this fall and that means high school basketball. So this summer Coach Stark took us to Spokane for a tournament. We had 5 games and we were against varsity level guys from bigger schools. It turned out that we lost every game. But I can't complain too much because our team hadn't played together, we only had six team members, we had no clue what some of the plays were, and we had just come back to basketball after 1 or half a year of not playing! The only time we had to practice was 20 minutes (or less) before each game.

The thing I am proud of was how we kept playing when we got behind, and kept a good attitude. I think lots of teams. That is what I have done so far during this summer.

Fathers Day

2008-06-15T09:47:00.001-07:00

Hello all, I know its been a while since I've posted, but I just have to post on fathers day. I just want to let Dad know how much I love him. He has been a great influence on me. He helps me stay on the right path when I go wrong. He teaches me the ways of Jesus, and to follow Him. He wares the corniest shirts, sing the dorkiest songs and is yet still fun to be around.

The Story of my Auto Harp

2008-05-27T07:45:00.000-07:00

When my family lived in Tonasket, we went to a Christian school that was at our church. There were 5 teachers in the 2 years we had the school. One of the teachers in the school was Mrs. Ramos. She was a lower grade all-subject teacher and a drama teacher. My mom would go to her house often with my sister, my brother, and I. One day she called us to come over. My mom went in first, then me. When I got in Mrs. Ramos was crying and told me that I was a Levite leader and that I am supposed to worship God with the harp. She had been praying and God had told her to give me her Auto Harp. The Auto Harp had been her great grandma's and it had been in the family for generations. It was so important to her that she stored it in her room under her bed and had kept it with her through all the houses she'd lived in. She reason didn't know that she was confirming the calling that God had given me at the family camp the year before, since she wasn't at family camp. I keep it under my bed now, to protect it. I like playing it, but it is hard to play it in worship and I need lessons to get really good at it. I am really thankful to Mrs. Ramos for listening to God and giving me her Auto Harp.

How I got my calling

2008-05-23T12:38:00.000-07:00

Here's a little post about how I was called to be a worshiper by God. It started at Family Camp in Tonasket. We went there with our church during the 4th of July. We all stayed in cabins that were pre-made for people to sleep in and some of us were in tents, it was petty much vacation. There was a huge chapel that we all went to every day and and there was a big area for breakfast, dinner and lunch. Then the 3rd or 4th day in to it, we went to church at the evening like we always did there and the pastor asked for an altar call for anyone that wanted to, and there was a bunch of people that went up and I didn't really know why so I did too. I knelt and just sat there like a lot of other people and there were other leaders that went around and prayed with everyone. The leader that came to me was a worship leader and his name was Trevor Seaman. He sat down and prayed over me and said that I was going to be like David a great worshiper and instrument player. David was a man from the Bible and was a guy after God's own heart, and to me that is pretty cool. Then my mom came over and Trevor told my mom, (when your mom knows, you are held accountable for it) and my mom was very excited. So then at the end of camp there were fireworks going off for the 4th of July, and it has stuck with me all this time.
