Christmas Eve Youth Group Party

On Christmas Eve, my parents allowed me to go to the Youth Group Party. It was from 9:00Pm until 9:00Am. I had fun being there. I was awake the whole night. We played games and watched a movie. My favorite game was when we were in groups and someone in our group had to shake the box that the leader gave us and guess in how many bites we could eat what was in the box. You could have chosen 1 bite=3points, 2 bites=2 points and 1 bite=1 point. When it was my turn, I guessed that I could do it in 1 bite, and I did. I had 10 gram crackers. I had to put all of them in my mouth before I could start chewing or swallowing what was in my mouth. My throat was dry. After finishing eating the crackers, I went and got a bottle filled with water and drank all of it, because I was so thirsty. That night I drank pop and so much water that I had to go to the bathroom every half an hour.
We had fun by spraying each others with silly strings. I was all over it. We also watched fire works and worship the Lord. I really enjoyed being at the party and hanging out with the new kids. I think that God gave me a good opportunity to meet new friends and just relax and have fun. We also read a bible verse from Luke 18:9-14. It was about a Pharisee and a Tax collector. I think that God really showed me that I was a Pharisee and not a Tax Collector, but he changed my life and now I am a Tax Collector.

Learning to grow up

Today mom, Tanya, Alexis and I went shopping at Wall-Mart.
A month ago or so, my parents decided to help me to learn a lesson on how to spend money when you have a budget. They said that they will give me $10 per week that I can spend for a school lunch. I had a great time choosing what to buy or what not to, because now, these days everything is very costly. I think that I will learn a good lesson from it and when I have to move out on my own I can handle a budget of $10 a week, or $2 a meal. Also I have to start doing my own laundry. If I have no clothes it would be my fault not someone else. I'm glad that mom and dad are trying to teach me these lessons because I know that most people don't have them, and sometimes that is what gets them in trouble.
