"I give all the glory to God...It's kind of a win-win situation, the glory goes up to Him, and the blessings fall down on me."

-Gabby Douglas, Gymnastics All-around Olympic Gold Medalist

What a way to honor America and the Lord!

 

 

A way that you could make a difference is by sharing the Gospel whenever you can. When a non-believeing friend of yours has troubles, and he sits down to talk to you, share about how Christ died for his sins. And don't skip out because you're afraid of what they might say or think. Because would you rather live for God, or man? I dare you to take this challenge, even if the person you share the Gospel with someone whom you dislike or someone who is mean to you, share the Gospel. Think, "what would Jesus do?" If you chose to take my dare, and if it's not too personal, comment on how you shared the Gospel this week.

7 Billion

"...And then I realized how many stupid times a day I used the word "I". In fact, probably all I ever do is think about myself. And how lame is that when there's, like, 7 billion other people out there on the planet..."

A way to make a difference is by putting others first. Maybe next time when you're at an event with a bunch of people, instead of talking and hanging out with your buddies, go talk to the shy girl or boy who doesn't have many friends. maybe next you're outside and instead of playing basketball like you, your friend/sibling wants to play football, go ahead and play football. I dare you to! If you chose to take my dare, comment below on a few of the things that you did for others rather than yourselves this week.

Panama City

Hey, friends! I'm Emily, and this is my first blog. I am actually not at home right now, I am at Panama City Beach,FL, where my family goes to vacation every summer. My older brother, Benjamin, is currently at a camp so sadly, he is not here with us. Nonetheless, I am having a great time. I received my Nikon coolpix P510 camera seven days ago, and I am in love with it! I have taken a few pictures at the beach, so here they are. Feel free to comment! :)

                                                   Beach sunsets are always spectacular
                                     

                                                            The sun hitting the ocean

                                                                  Dolphins at play

                     Ferris Wheel at Pier Park, an outdoor mall located very near to our condo.

This is also a picture of the sun hitting the water, taken on a different day. It's very interesting to me that compared to the other picture, the color is very different.

A way of making a difference is by not using plastic water bottles, because they pollute the sea and the earth, and because people realized that we were running out of places to put dumps, and people are filling their trashcans with water bottles when they could be using reusable water bottles. So instead of using plastic water bottles, I dare you to go buy a reusable water bottle and use that (and other things if necessary) for a month. if you choose to do this dare, comment on what other things you used instead of reusable bottles.
