One of the hardest

It seems so hard, with the way my sister is from most people with down syndrome. I don't know what it is that makes it so hard. Some days I just wish she was not the way she is, mind you I still love her, I just have struggles & we don't get along the way we use to when we were younger. Having a sibling with special needs can be one of the most hardest & sometimes joyful things in life. Thats one of the reasons I like camp barnabas so much as I have something in common with the other siblings & I can share those struggles. The nicest part is no one stares at you for having a sibling with special needs.

Mission trip to camp barnabas & how I plan to fundraise

Well, since my mom said volunteering to serve as a councilor at camp barnabas this summer counts as a mission trip she told me of 1 way I can use to help me fundraise other than saving up my own money & from the jbf sale. So I am going to write a letter explaining why I want to serve at camp barnabas & how I will hopefully benefit a camper with special needs or a cabin of sibling campers, sending it out to my family & friends who are there to support me. Camp Barnabas has been like a family to me when I went for 5 years as a sibling camper supporting me & caring for me as also the place I was honored to be baptisted at so I feel humbled to do everything I can to give back to them. I will write more about it in my letter but let me know if you want a letter or I can send an email. Thanks for all your continued encouraging support & love to me!

My sewing life adventure

So for christmas I got a new sewing machine as I had asked for one of my own as the one we do have is not portable to take places if I am going to learn from someone how to sew. Well I tested it out a few days after christmas but have not gotten a chance to learn more yet but I want to make my bag set that I got with it so what to start with?? I am now going crazy in fabric land!!! I have a box of fabrics from various times & have lots of this pretty burgendy colored with roses fabric I have had forever since I did a school project when I was about 10 on india so we made a sari (sp?) & have not touched the leftover (or it was the sari unraveled?)fabric since and I have no clue what to make with such lovely fabric. Plus alot of them are quilt squares so I am ready to shop sales for fabrics whats a girl to do but shop for crafts? ahhh if only I had thought of that before spending my craft gift cards for other things!! Their are 2 friends I know that have made some cute outfits and/or costumes & I really want to make as cute of stuff as they do!! I hope I can get a job soon to support my hobbies or hopefully a friend to pass some cute fun fabrics to me!!

Beauty & the Beast

Beauty & the Beast is my favorite movie of all time now! Belle is my favorite disney princess! I decided as soon as I heard that the group my siblings does plays with that I wanted to be in Beauty & the Beast JR. I completly enjoyed it even with the stress & craziness of things! I would do it all over again if I could! Just all songs were so much fun & the costumes & even painting a set was fun! I could write a whole lot but going to save my story of the play for fb.

So thankful for friends!!

My Friends mean the world to me! They are kind, loving, & caring. They can make me smile or make my day in the smallest of things!
They listen to me & tell me that things are going to be okay.
I am so thankful for my friends & that I met them!

Being 18 & a new look for the blog

So I feel like I have deglected the blog. I am trying hard to figure out how to get this to be nicer looking. Anyway, I have been busy but felt like I should start blogging again.
I am offically an adult! what is being an adult anyway? I still feel like I am 15 LOL! according to my sister though ur a young adult til your 20 hehe. It feels so strange that I am 18, feels like yesterday I was only 13.
As I am growing up I have had to think more about my future, I am still unsure of myself but with Gods help he can help through the years ahead!

Lifes a climb

I know I am stealing this from the hannah montana movie but its true life is a climb. For me I feel that it should be about sharing gods love with others.
As I was listening while helping at awana I was reminded of how deep gods love his for me. I needed to be reminded of that I can go to him with any problems & he loves me no matter what.
You start out small, then you go higher & higher like climbing a mountain.
