What do these three words mean to all of you when you see them? What is the first thing you all think of? To me these words are words of motivation. Words of strength, power, and encouragement. To me these words are a message. Take one day at a time, and do not waste what the Lord has given you. Take the day, don't let any opportunity pass you by. Always look for ways to do things for God. Don't waste your day thinking about yourself, or worrying about stupid things that do not really matter.
No, I am not saying that I am perfect at this, this is something I really need to work on. But I am challenging you all to Haste The Day. Don't worry about tomorrow or yesterday, only one day at a time. I have realized how important it is to do this. It is so easy to get caught up in all your problems that you can't think about anything else. Get over it. If you keep worrying about all these things then you will miss things in life. And missing out on things is not cool. I have experienced this many times. I was so caught up with my problems and was only thinking about myself that I missed stuff. Seriously, problems will not last forever. You need to look past the darkness and find the light in the situation. This is something I totally need to work on a lot more. Maybe one day I will get it, but for now I will have to struggle with it.
So keep in mind one thing, you are nothing. You can not do anything on your own, you can not get through one day with your own strength. Because you do not have any, it all comes from God. So before you do anything, give the day to The Lord. Give it all to Him and tell Him that you need Him to get through the day. Things will go a lot better, trust me. And keep in mind not to let any opportunity pass you by.
Seize The Moment, Haste The Day.

Short and Sweet
I wanted to do this quick post to let everyone know that I am going on vacation tomorrow with my family. Which means, that I will not be able to post until I get back. But you can all still comment and read up on the posts that you have missed, that is fine with me.
I am so pumped to go because I will be able to see my sisters and my brother in law, for it has been a while. I have waited for this for a long time. I totally need this break. Please pray that we all have a good time together and we can all rest.

English Camps
Hola everyone. I hope that every one's summer was good and that they could rest up for the beginning of school or whatever. It has been a few weeks since I posted, because the past post was from my dad, I don't think that it counts. So I am posting now.
Not too much has been going on over this week, nothing too big. A team from my church came down last weekend to teach English camps in the development. A lot of the missionaries here have been helping with that and so have I. I am not really a "teacher" but more of a "helper" or you could also call me, "the white board holder". I don't really hate the English camps, but I do not really like them very much. Just kinda boring and old. If you all know what I mean, probably not but oh well. Although I did get over the fact that I had to help and try to have fun, even though it was kinda hard.
Things have been average, I have been alright, and on a scale from 1-10; I would say life right now is a 6. But is it a lot better than it was a few weeks ago, a lot. I am so glad that my parents made me go to that village to help with the medical caravan; it was one of the best things, if not the best thing, I did so far this summer. I met so many people and met so many more really cool people. I made some really close friends that I can keep in touch with and still stay close. I was helped so much while I was there too. God also taught me something really cool there: if you take your thoughts of yourself and your problems, and put all your energy and thoughts on others and their problems; you will be helped. I learned this very important lesson while I was there, and I do not think I will easily forget it. God blessed me so much there with help, lessons, and friends that I will never forget. I will probably not do another blog for a while because I am going on vacation next week with my family. I can not wait, it is going to be so awesome. I will be able to see my sisters and my brother in law too. I have not seen them since Christmas so it is going to be intense. Please keep up the prayer for everyone serving here and for me, I desperately need it. Also pray for my sister, because she had surgery today on her finger. I think it was last week she was at work and cut her finger really bad in a glass. Please keep her in your prayers as well as my family and everyone here.
I also want to say thank you to my youth group for what they sent down for me, it means a lot.
