Christmas break starts next week and I can't wait!!! We're going up to Massachusetts and New Hampshire!

I did Christmas Cards last night! I love doing things like that! Rachael and I got our picture taken for the card but it wasn't done professionaly..Mom just took it in front of our Christmas tree! I'll put the picture up when I get home...I'm at the elementary school right now waiting for my parents to pick me up! Tomorrow I think Kelsey is walking over here with me and we're going to do our homework then we're going back over to the high school to watch the junior high girls basketball game!

Then this weekend, my aunt and uncle and grandmommy are coming in and we're having our family Christmas together! It's going to be a lot fun!

Exciting News!!!!!!

I know I just updated Monday, but this news couldn't wait!! I'M GOING TO HONDURAS THIS SUMMER!! AHH! I' M SOOO EXCITED!! My church is taking a mission trip down there June 9-17 and my mom and I are going! We had a lady from Casa de Esperanza, where two people from my youth group went this past summer, speak at prime time tonight! It was soo moving...I got goose bumps and chills when she was speaking! I knew God was telling me that I needed to go be a part of the mission trip!!!! Casa de Esperanza (which means House of Hope) started out with 5 kids. About a week and a half ago the got 5 more kids and they need all the help they can get! When we go down there, we could be building houses, visiting orphanages, distributing food and clothing, doing vacation bible schools/adult bible studies, and hospital visits. I saw this thing on Sam's xanga and I loved it so I'm going to put it on here----- If we could reduce the world's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:60- Asians, 12-Europeans, 5-US Americans and Canadians. 8-Latin Americans, 14-Africans 49-would be female, 51-would be male, 82-would be non-white, 18-white,89- heterosexual, 11- homosexual, 33- would be Christian, 67-would be non-Christian, 5-would control 32% of the entire world's wealth, and all of them would be US citizens, 80-would live in substandard housing, 24-would not have any electricity(And of the 76% that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.),67-would be unable to read, 1- (only one) would have a college education, 50- would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation, 33- would be without access to a safe water supply, 1- would have HIV, 1- near death, 2- would be near birth, 7- people would have access to the Internet. If to take a look at the world from this condensed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes evident.Think of it! If you woke up this morning with more health than sickness, you are luckier than the million that will not survive this week. If you have never experienced a war, a loneliness of an imprisonment, an agony of tortures, or a famine, You are happier, than 500 million persons in this world. If you are able to go to church, mosque or synagogue without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are happier, than 3 billion persons in this world.If there is a meal in your refrigerator, if you are dressed and have got shoes, if you have a bed and a roof above your head, you are better off, than 75% of people in this world. If your parents are still alive and still married, then you are a rarity. If you have a bank account, money in your purse, and there is some trifle in your coin box, you belong to 8% of well-provided people in this world. If you read this text, you are blessed three times as much, because Someone has thought of you;You do not belong to those 2 billion people which cannot read and... you have your computer! Someone once said: Live like it's Heaven on Earth. This is your world, its your life, you CAN make a difference!----- Jen (the lady that spoke tonight from Casa de Esperanza) had a WONDERFUL quote tonight that I loved and this is what it said: Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of the Lord!!--- I'm sooo excited and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me on this trip!!!The website for Casa de Esperanza is: www.cde-hopehouse.org Here is Jen's blog if you want to take a look: www.calledandcompelled.blogspot.com and if you want to see pictures of some of the kids at Casa de Esperanza, look at my friend Sam's xanga that went this summer: www.xanga.com/footprints_in_the_sand_05 Leave me comments!!! Hannah Elise---- God, let my heart be broken by the things that break your heart! Help Jen and all the kids at Casa de Esperanza!! Prepare my heart and mind for this trip and help me to do your will down in Honduras!! Amen

Problem With Blogger Beta

so I've been trying to leave people comments on blogger, but it's not working for some reason...It's starting to make me a little mad.. but Tiff left a comment and asked how I added the "blogs I read" part to my layout and since it's not letting me comment her I'm going to put it on here...I switched to blogger beta and it lets you pick and choose what you want to add to your layout...but I think that's what's causeing problems with leaving comments...so DON'T SWITCH TO BLOGGER BETA!!! Well here are some pictures from volleyball this season!! Leave me comments!!! and I'll TRY to leave you comments!
