Lost
Im losing, losing, losing, Im lost. Wait, Im beyond the point of being lost. I don’t even know who I am at this point. Im gone. Gone, Gone, Gone. Gone.
In science class we made volcanoes out of flour, salt, cooking oil, and water. We had to make it either a shield, composite, or cinder cone volcano. My group chose composite, and it was an explosive one so we had to buy diet coke and mentos.
Im losing, losing, losing, Im lost. Wait, Im beyond the point of being lost. I don’t even know who I am at this point. Im gone. Gone, Gone, Gone. Gone.
These past weeks I have been studying persecution of Christians. I learned so many things that I would never have found out if it weren’t for this amazing project. I learned that all over the world every day over 300 Christians are persecuted. And out of those 300, 60% are children, from ages 0-16. Honestly I didn’t think persecution happened all the time. I thought maybe someone killed a Christian for his or her faith like once a month or something. But thats far from correct. I studied persecution in Indonesia. It has the larges Muslim population in the world, and only 10% of the population is Christian. The Muslims burn down churches, put Christians in jail, abuse them verbally and physically, up to the point of killing them, and I thought that persecution hardly happened?!?! Woah, I was blind.
Every year millions of Christians are killed, and we need to help them. Right now I’m doing the 5 minute challenge. Its where you take 5 minutes out of every day to pray for the persecuted, it sounds hard, but think of all the time you have. There are many things you can do to help. Right now, Im helping the persecuted by making this post on my blog, letting people know whats going on around the world. I could raise money for them, support them, send them cards. But out of all the things you could do, praying is the best thing you could ever do for someone. Prayer is VERY powerful, its worth way more than money and can give you much more than money could ever get you, God’s love and the calmness you get when you know he’s with you. Money cant get you that, no matter how much you have.
Now remember, people of all ages need your prayer right now. Take 5 minutes RIGHT NOW to pray for the persecuted. And keep in mind that it means the world to them to know that you are thinking of them, even if its only 5 minutes.
Give them Hope for another day.
Si yo pudo cambiar alguna injusticia, cambiaría el persecución alrededor del mundo. Todos debemos poder escoger nuestros dioses. Es como si crees que abortando esta bien. No puedes matar a alguien si ellos creen en algo que tu no. O también si alguien le gusta el fútbol, no puedes matar a ellos porque le gustan algo diferente. No se como voy a cambiar esto pero creo que alguien debe hacer algo sobre este injusticia. Mas de 300 personas son asesinados por su fe CADA DIA! y 60% de estos personas son niños. Necesitamos cambiar esto. Pronto.
Caleb, thank you for everything that you do to me. Thank you for all the hugs that you give me when I feel down, all the encouraging words to help me get through the day. You helped me turn my life around, completely. I cant even explain how much you really mean to me. It’s like trying to describe the taste of water. I only get to see you 2 times a week, but thank you for keeping in touch with me, for sending me all those smily and winky faces 🙂 🙂 Thank you for changing my life, forever. I praise God for you each and every day. Love you lots (as a friend, of course)

Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back. Live each day as it comes. Don’t plan the future, just to have it shatter in front of you. Treat each day as your last, love everyone and stop the hate that surrounds you and sucks you in. Because think about it, what is more important, to be a hater or to be a lover? Do you want to be hated or want to be loved by everyone? Its your choice, its your life, not the worlds. Your smile, your heart, your money, your breathe, your choice to change. But don’t help the change, BE THE CHANGE.

Someday you’ll cry for me, like I cried for you. ~ Someday you’ll need me, like I needed you. ~ Someday you’ll love me, but I wont love you.
Sometimes all me need is 20 seconds of insane courage. Just 20 seconds of embracing bravery<3

Can we fall, one more time? Stop the tape and rewind? Oh, and If you walk away I know I’ll fade. Its gotta be you, only you<3
Sometimes you have to forget the people you once loved so much. Sometimes you just have to forget them, even if its like the hardest thing you’ve ever done. Sometimes you just have to accept the fact that they don’t love you anymore and just want to move on. You just have to let them go. Don’t regret it, just except it. Except the fact that they want to forget you and not be friends.
I love my friend that stuck with me through all the years. Through hard and easy, he was always there for me. I’ve had way to many people leave me because of my problems. But that one friend that sticks with you through it all is a good friend. And I only have one. He’s my best friend. I might not be considered his best friend, but he is MY best friend. Thank you, Caleb 🙂
In life and in death I thought we would be forever. I was wrong. Although I loved you I now realize that it wouldn’t have worked out anyway. I really did want you though and I sorta still do, now. But you aren’t the one for me and I not the one for you. I just want to be friends. Good friends. Best friends. Tell each other everything, friends. The first person you tell things to, friends. Forever friends. I have this feeling that we could be friends till the day we die. I want to have your back. I wanna be your BFF 🙂 I want to always have you. We are heart broken together, but that doesn’t mean we cant love each other as just friends.
