Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!!! I hope you are having a great Independence day. I love all the fireworks and parties and fun, but mostly I like to know that we are living in a free country!!! Isn't that such a great feeling?! We can worship God whenever we want and we can vote for whoever we want for president. We have so much freedom. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes that's a bad thing. So we shouldn't take our freedom for granted. I hope you have a very merry Fourth of July and remember all of our troops who have made this day possible for all of us.

So Many Subjects I Don't Have a Title For This Post

This week we had Camp Chosen and it was so much fun!! I was a junior mentor for the group of second and third grade girls. Chosen is a bible study for girls 8-12 and I have learned so much by taking it. If any of you read my blog and live in Amarillo and are girls you should totally go to it and comment on this post if you want to learn more about Chosen. I think it has totally helped me have a closer relationship with God. Today is Canada Day!!! My mom is from Canada and we celebrate it around here. She is a United States citizen though. But she still celebrates like every Canadian holiday. (We even have our Canadian flag up today. I would take a picture of it but I don't know where the camera is.) My mom's family who lives in Canada is at a cabin for two weeks and I want to be there soooooooooo bad, but we are going there in August, so it's not that far away. Please pray for Ellie this week. She is going to Angelfire with her best friend who moved to Austin and this is her first time to go away without my mom or dad.
