Life is like a tightrope. I know, weird, but just finish reading this post, you'll understand.
Your walking a a tightrope. Not alone, God's there holding your hand. He's there balancing you. And if you let go, he'll stay and walk beside you. If you fall, there's always a way up. If a person helps you back up, catches you, or even if you climb a tree. There's a way, just keep looking. And once you get back up, you have God, you can tighten your grip on his hand. And when you reach the end, you'll have peace and joy forever. If you keep your hold on God and Jesus.
This came to me when I was praying one night at a conference this month. Ya'll are welcome to use it. :)

Some of my Thoughts
Ok so I know I've been not posting well, or even keeping my promises, I am super super sorry about that. I've just had so much school and other things going on, I forgot about my blog. I hope I haven't lost any readers in that time. Now today I felt like sharing my thoughts. Hope you enjoy :)
Being an mk can be tough. In the summer kids usually go to camp, hang out with friends everyday, or go do something for the day or weekend. Some mks do do that, but not me. I don't have any neighbors, camps are expensive, and I don't speak the language. Most of my day is texting my friends on the computer and reading. I'm always thinking about how it would be so cool if a girl my age who speaks English would come and move next door. That is possible, but it would be very rare. I have a best friend online, and a best friend who lives 10 mins away from me on a base, I can't go on very easily. I pray everyday, hoping to find a best friend right next to where I live.
Do you ever read those books, and you wish you had a life like a person in the book? Every book I've ever read, I've had that thought in my head at least two times. But those books aren't real, most people don't have lives like that. Nobody lives a perfect life. Many may think they are living perfectly, but no one is perfect. Only God is.
Where I live, I call it my home. But my sisters don't really call it their home, they rather be in the US. I love the USA and when i go there every 4 years, I love it. I have neighbors, foods that I can eat. It's amazing, but it's not my home. It's like a year vacation. My oldest sister is going to college this year, so it's going to be a big change to have only 4 people in the house. We're so used to moving so much, it will be a change for my sister to stay in one spot for so long. The longest we have stayed in one house was 3 years. We are similar to military kids, but instead we don't live on a base, and have English speaking neighbors, or American stores and restaurants. XD
I've had alot of trouble recently about finding what I'm really good at. Alot of people have those trouble. Some people find what their really good at very easily, and some take a long time. It is also hard for me to find out what I'm good at because the things I like, are hard to do here. Of course I'm not complaining, I love where I live, and I would never change it.

The World Without Mks
What would the world be like if there were no mks? Well here are a couple descriptions on what it would be like:
*Less Missionaries
**Kids would be much more sad
***Not as many people would be Christians
****The world wound't be as bright
*Alot missionaries now were mks. They watched their parents do work, and they felt called to do it. Yes of course there would be missionaries, but there'd not be as many as there is today.
**Alot mks are in countries were the kids are poor and there is saddens there. That's where mks come in. They go to the kids, play, talk, and interact with them. They become friends and best friends. They give the kids happier spirits and liven up the life. If the mks weren't there, their life might be depressed, and alot of them might even would die depressed.
***It's true, not as many would be. I once read a story (forgot what it was called) about a guy who didn't want to become a christian, if an adult came to him and tried to talk to him about God, he would tell them to go. He was dying so they wanted him to become a Christian. So one day a girl mk came to him with a bible, he shooed her away. She came back the next day but he shooed her away, but not a mean. She kept going to him every singe day. After a long time of her going to him, he finally let her read from to bible to him. She came everyday and read him parts of the bible. Finally one day once she was there, he told her he wanted to become a christian, he did become. This was a true story. The adults were giving up on him, but that one mk didn't give up on him. She knew that God wanted him to become a christian. Without that mk, the guy wouldn't have became a christian. Alot times kids need other kids to help them believe, but now you know adults even need mks to help them know God.
****Mks brighten up the world. Mks have ideas that are amazing, they go into where they live and try to liven up the world. Where I live, I don't always see alot of people smile. So every time I go somewhere I make sure to smile. Not a fake smile, smirky smile, buy an encouraging smile. Sometimes the person I smile at comes up to me and says I made their day. You can brighten up the world just by smiling. A smile can tell them not to worry, God's with them. Sometimes mks would go up to people and say 'God's with you'. Mks sometimes care for people more that adults can. Not usually with money, but with love from the heart which God lives in. Mks have more passion and liveliness. They don't give up, they keep brightening up the world.
God Warning: This is from the Lord, he gave me the wisdom on what to write about. ;)

Thursday (Skipping Tuesday and Wednesday)
So yes, i'm going to skip Tuesday and Wednesday, because they were exactly the same as Monday. So you would get very bored, but Thursday got some stuff going on :). So here's Thursday!:
I got up around 7:30, I did my chore and ate breakfast. I fed my guinea pigs and took my dog out. I read my Bible from 8:00 to 8:15, then my dad came in and we started our family devotions. Right now we are going through the Narnia books. After we read a chapter we do a short devotion about the chapter that we just read. We are reading, 'The Horse and His Boy' right now. After devotions I worked on my school. My mom and sisters left to go somewhere at 11:30. I did school until 2:00. At that time, I went down on the 1st floor outside. My dad teaches a car class, and right now we are doing finals. We have to do hands on things on the car. My best friend and one of her brothers were there waiting for their turn. I watched as my best friend and her brother took the test. Then after they left, my mom got home with my sisters and she took me to piano. I have piano every Thursday at 3:30. Once I got home from piano, three more of our friends arrive and my sisters came down, we took the test with them. It was about 5:40 when we were done with the test, we went to the park for 20 mins then our friends left and my sisters and I came home and ate pizza for dinner. At 6:30 my sisters and I had to go down to the 2nd floor to practice with the worship team. This Sunday is youth Sunday, that is when the youths participate in the service, i'm on the worship and i'm singing a special song with my best friend, plus my oldest sister is playing the piano for the special song. This Sunday through Tuesday is also our yearly church camping trip :D. Worship practice ended around 8:30 to 9:00, after that my best friend and her mom (the worship leader) came up and hung out for another 30 minutes. After they left, I got ready for bed and read. I fell asleep and 10:45-11:00.
