Annie and I. The speaker
I talked about in my previous post. She has become one of my greatest friends. She writes like she is talking to you. She is an amazing person, Christian, friend that a teen girl could EVER ask for. The first time I met her I wondered if we could really be related. She isn't afraid to share her life experiences at the right time. "I like having fun!" -Annie Downs! We are not suppose to live this life alone, we need Jesus in our lives! She also has a devotion to go with her book Speak Love it is called Speak Love Revolution 30 days.
This picture was Sunday during
our last worship service! I didn't plan on getting up and talking, but it just happened. Plugged-In changed my life two years ago. I became a Christian at this retreat! God allowed me to meet Annie so I could see that I was not alone in the struggles I was facing. She dealt with the same things I was going through. So I told her on Sunday "Thank you Annie for all you have taught me throughout the years." Which was 100% true! God has used her to show me that no matter what I am not alone in my struggles. No matter what you are facing in your life.....God will never leave you!
We were apart of a global service project
called Sole Hope. This organization makes and sends shoes to the people of Uganda, Africa. In this picture we were cutting out the plastic soles to go into the shoes. We made 41 pairs of shoes out of old jeans! Wow! That was incredible! I am so blessed that I was apart of that, the fact that a kid is going to have a pair of shoes because of me is a humbling feeling inside my heart. If you ever have a chance to be apart of something like this or in your own community TAKE THAT CHANCE!!!!!!!!!!!! It will change your whole output on life and make you see how many blessings you have in your life. I know I did!
Thank you to Mrs. Lorretta Stembridge for taking the amazing photos!
