Call it what you want!

Today is a bad reading day for me... I've been have continuous Dyslexic moments, even though I have trained my brain against the dyslexia, I have days. If any of you that see this don't know by now, I am highly dyslexic. I mix up letters and numbers and words. I was reading my blog and saw instead of 2009, I saw 2006. I haven't been doing this blog that long!? Then I keep writing "my" instead of "me".... It is difficult. The sad thing is that dyslexia is hereditary, so any of my future children could have it. My mom gave it to me. I didn't speak until I was about 5, that was a sign of the dyslexia. I always thought it was funny, my older sister learned to read books like Nancy Drew and the Lord of the Rings series when she was 4. I didn't read Dr. Suess until I was about 6 to 7. Now people wish I would stop talking and I love books. Well, romantic books.... *sigh*

so hard..

Its so hard. I hate being single, just because I don't have that someone that can listen to me and for me to be there for. There is a guy I like, but its that moment of "I don't know if he cares". This really stinks. Anyway, I needed to vent. In this short way.

Will Starve for Food

It is a strange quote, isn't it? Well, yes, today is the 30 Hour Famine. If you don't know what that is, it is a time when my church youth group will get together for about 24 hours (the actual fast part starts at noon while people are at school) and playing games, doing bible studies, and just having fun together! I'm excited because I learned that 2 of my friends are coming from Biola to join us! Yayness! I can't wait.

But it really is a sad reason for this fast. 26,000 children, ages 5 and under, die everyday, worldwide. It takes 30 days for the body to shut down from lack of nutrition and food.

One of things we're doing for the famine is raising money to help these children. I myself have raised $250, though I gave most of it to my brother. Its amazing how much people will give, even through this economic time of trouble.

There is also a family in our church that is having trouble feeding their family. They have two little girls and another one on the way. I felt lead to help them, so we're giving them gift cards so they can get food. I hope that God blesses them so much!

I'm looking forward to see all the kids in our youth group learn something from this. Not only will it bring us closer together as friends, but it will hopefully bring us closer to God. That is what I am looking forward to! God gave us the chance to do this, so I hope we all learn something from it! Praise God for giving us this chance!

In half an hour I will have to stop eating, that means I much "Starve for food". Let the fast, learning, and pain begin! <--- I meant that in a good way! <3
