This weeks song is Hold On by Tobymac. This song is basically a reminder that God loves you and you can go to him no matter what. I don’t know why, but I always like listening to this song when the sun is shining. So hopefully with spring starting and the weather hopefully starting to get warmer, you can listen to this song on a happy, sunny day which is always nice. :0) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQMjA5Lc_70

Hold On-Tobymac-Tonight

This week I went to Girls night in and the subject was self hate/ injury. Needless to say it was a very intense subject. If you are cutting/burning or hurting yourself in anyway… I REALLY encourage you to listen to this song!  This song has helped many get through their injury problems. This song is telling you that you are not worthless and Jesus shed his blood for you so you don’t have to. Jesus was mocked, spat on, accused of doing something he didn’t do, beaten, whipped, gambled on, and killed for a reason. He did that just for YOU! He did all of that for you. He went through all that trouble so you don’t have to. So hurting yourself isn’t going to help fulfill what he did for you.  So PLEASE again, if you or someone you know is hurting themselves, please listen to this song, it is called You Are More by Tenth Avenue North…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgi-G-dHYkY

Stellar Kart wrote this song when they were at a church camp and some of the kids at the camp were telling them about all these thing that they were going through and so they wrote this song.

This week’s song is Free To Be Me by Francesca Battistelli. This song is about how we don’t know what we want to do with our lives when we are younger, and in some cases, when we are all grown up, and how imperfect we are but with God, he will lead us the right way and when we are with him we can be ourselves and not worry.So here you go…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38LcrMZutJs

Francesca Battistelli-Free To Be Me- My Paper Heart

Last Wednesday we had a guest speaker Named Jacoby. Jacoby and his wife Lera are missionaries in Odessa, Ukraine. If you don’t know, Odessa is the southern part of Ukraine.The picture below shows where it is exactly. It is part of the orange colored region. Here are some things that are going on in the Ukraine that stuck out to me.

One thing is that Ukraine has the most teenage alchohalism in the world. I found this very intresting. I never would have thought that out of all the places in the world that teenage alcohalsim being the worst would be Ukraine! It is a very scary thing  that is happening too much.

Secondly, there is a big problem with kid napping, and prostitiution in  Ukraine. Lots of teenage girls  will apply for a job and they will get kid napped and then be forced into prostitution. It’s very sad and not right at all. It is very disturbing. But unfortunantly, it is happening.

Next, Ukraine is hosting a soccer tornament of some sort I guess, and they have a bunch of stray dogs running around in Ukraine. If you love dogs a lot you may not want to read this because it is a bit distrubing, but they need to get rid of all these dogs. So what they are doing is they are injecting poision into them and they are waiting for them to die. Then once they die, they burn them in order to get rid of the bodies. It is really sick and I absolutoly 100% HATE it, but they have no money to put all of them in pounds and such, so that is the only thing they think they can do with them.

Lastly There is a very high drug use in the Ukrain expecially in Kids.

There is so much more to pray for, for the Ukraine. Please go to this website and learn more about what Jacoby and Lera are doing.http://projectodessalife.com/partnerserve/

Since this week is Valentine’s day, I decided to put a song about love, so, it only makes sense to post the song Crazy Love by Hawk Nelson. This song is about how God is in crazy love with us and how the world just dosn’t understand. It is also based off of the book Crazy Love by Francis Chan. Have a good Valentine’s day everyone!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jFlW_j4G1A

This weeks song is Breakfast by Newsboys. This song is bascially about someone dying. When you die you get to go to one of two places, heaven or hell. If you go to hell, you don’t get the fun stuff that you enjoy on earth, such as breakfast. BUT, in hevan you will! Along with this the song has some funny refrences to the breakfast club and different type of breakfast foods so it is a lot of fun. So stop reading this and listen to this song!!-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSl5Yi3luGo
