September 6

School is going really well, I really like high school. I actually wake up excited to go to school(:
I love English. I have it 8th hour, so I get to look forward to it all day :) It's a great way to end the day. In English, all we do is write. That's why I like it. Here is one of the many writings that I wrote:

Shine Bright
The bright, astounding, shining sun brings warmth to my heart. If the sun can shine so brightly day after day, then so can I. I can shine with the love of Jesus, and so can everyone else. I appreciate the sun because it encourages me to try and shine with the Love of Jesus. My mom told me this when she was laying in the hospice bed “I’m not going to give you a list of things that I want you to do in your life. I just want you to always trust in Jesus.” I replied to her saying, “I will, I promise.” So now I won’t only trust in Him, but I’ll shine for him. If I can get other people to shine for Jesus too, even God will have to put on his sun glasses to be able to look down at us. We will shine brighter than the sun itself.

Recently, I decided that I want to do something that will impact this world. I know I already have a blog, but I want to do something more big that just write. So, I decided that I want to somehow lead people to Jesus. I asked my dad if I could go to a nursing home and read the residents there some scripture from the Bible. I know they're old, but if I want to lead as many people to Jesus as I can. Who knows, maybe I'll end up changing a life or two. I don't know how it will go, but I'm really excited to find out. Anyway, I ran this idea by my dad and he said that it's a great idea. I'm really excited to get started.
