Interests: My number one interest is Jesus Christ. He is my savior and my best friend. I want to live my life for Him and to be all that He wants me to be!!!
And as you know....I love basketball and everything about it. I also love to play my flute and piano. An other thing I love doing is children's ministry. This past summer, I worked with Child Evanglism Fellowship. Their goal is to reach kids with the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love that, because, even if I'm still young, I feel that may be where God wants me.

| Wow its been a really long time since my last posting. a long time. i guess i'm laziner than i thought.... these months have been some of the best of my life. i remember in march that i was hoping that the spring and summer wouldn't go by fast. they're my favorite parts of the year, and i wish to charrish them as much as i can, right? well, THEY'VE FLOWN!!!! and i dont like it very much. looking back, i think that these months have been wonderful. last fall, i kinda feel like i lost my fire for God. i didn't have that urge to spend time with God..or share about Him anywhere. i was dead. and really dry. i hated it. but something has just happened. i prayed that God would give me someone that could really push me in my walk with Christ. and someone that has been in my life since i was 3 just happens to be that person. i started meeting with her...and now. I'M BACK! i feel like ally again. i get so excited when God shows me something in His word, or something i notice that God did previously, tho i didn't know it at the time. i strive to serve Him now. and i'm beyond words excited to go back to Rosebud in a few weeks. like i get jittery when i think about it. God is the greatest thing that has happened to me. i am so thankful for His faithfulness. yeah, its something that i speak of a lot. but it's so true. "Our God is a God who saves!" and i love Him for it. He's the greatest thing that anyone could ask for. and now b/c i've come to the conclusion that He's all i need, well i honestly long to tell ppl about Him and shout His love to the world. i know that i'm suppose to be on the battle field for the rest of my life. and i CAN'T WAIT!!! it'll rock to be serving my Daddy until the day i die. and then, well...i will be with Him forever. eternity. greatness. well..thats about what God's been teaching since march. He's really cool. :D yeah. | | |
| This has been a crazy day. A crazy week, for that matter! Finding out about Adam's surgery and just feeling.....pooped! but you know, it's also been a really awesome week too. I finally feel like i'm making headway with somethings. and that really excites me. i suppose that shows that i'm not capable of anything. Christ alone is. mandy reminded me of this song a few days ago. i say it's my life song. and you know, it really is. check er out: In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And only by His strength I've overcome Oh, I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies would not equal
To the grace on which I stand
In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope
Is Christ alone
In Christ alone will I glory
Though only by His grace I am redeemed
And only His tender mercies
Can reach beyond my weakness to my needs Now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more And to count my gains but losses
For the glory of my Lord In Christ alone I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength My source of hope
Is Christ alone i think that songs the bomb-diggity. hehe. well, have a good week everyone. Ally | | |
| i told you. it was indeed a month. lol
the time that i feel closest to God, is really the time where i don't
have anything to do. Tim Owen was right in saying that this world never
stops and listens. everyone has sound around them constantly. we never
have time for our creator. how sad is that? i'm guilty of this crime.
and it sucks. i never have time where i have nothing to do. i sure as
heck wish i did. but i fill up my day with things. not even things that
are dishonorable or anything. things i do for youth group. or for a
flute lesson that i have to give. or even just school. i fill up my day
with things that God wants me to do, yet i dont have the patience to
sort through and establish a sufficient time with my creator. i find that overwelming sometimes.
such as now.
the closer i feel with God, the more things He points out to me that
suck in my life. things that seem impossible to change. i do get
discouraged. it's hard living in a imperfect world, but not being apart
of it. of course it's impossible for me to be perfect. but sometimes i
just don't feel worthy having a relationship with someone that's so
perfect that even His angels must cover their faces in his presences.
that's so humbling.
just some thoughts for the month :)

| so...i haven't really updated in a long time. not like that much has
been going on. about a month ago, i was nominated by my band director
to play at truman with the honor's band. it's like a one time dealio
where teens from all around the kville area come and practice all day,
with a performance that evening. i'm purty excited, though i don't
quite know what to expect with it. but hey, it should be fun lol.
well, i guess i'm too lazy to write what else has been goin on..but when something exciting happens, i'll fill in.
kk, have a great week....well, maybe month....months....alright, buh bye

| today's gone...er wrong. everyone's fighting, complaining or just being
plain rude. i hate these days. it makes those in the finest moods
become apart of the crankiest atmostphere. just over a simple poor
attitude. it shows how easy it is to ruin someone's day. simply put:
mine. not to sound completely selfish, but my day was going
wonderfully. but there's something so large up their butt that forced
them to scowl and complain about just stupid everyday problems ( if
that's what you want to call them). then they lash out in anger proving
that their heart attitude totally sucks. i know i'm just like that
many, many days out the week.....many hours throughout the day! i'm so
full of selfishness and anger; complaints and grudges that i could take
the blame for all of this. right here and now God's convicting me of
how stinking hipocritical i am. this is again something that i hate!
without Christ's tremendous love, compassion and faithfulness, i would
be dead in my transgressions. but he DOES love, care and ALWAYS stick
with me through every heart break i put him through. i never cease to
sin. but he never abandoned me. i'm the one that thinks i don't need
him. but in reality, he doesn't need me! he could use a pin cushion to
acomplish his perpose. but because of his infinite mercy, he chose a
filfth rag as myself. what greater best friend could someone choose?!
i guess when i want to blame the ruining of my "wonderful" day on a
certain person, i should look at the amazing love and faithfulness of
Jesus Christ. what he went through just to be apart of my life. sheesh.
what my savior has to go through each day.....it blows me away
sometimes.
