Dec. 20, 2009 - I've been to the year 2009. Not much has changed, but they lived underwater...
Well, the year 2009 is almost up. For me, 2009 was full of fun times and many lessons, and I thought that I would share the highlights of my year with you all:
January 1st: I wrote a letter to myself about areas that I wanted to grow in over the year. These included learning to better share my faith, learning to build new relationships (as opposed to staying with my comfortable old ones), and learning if songwriting was something that God wanted me to pursue.
January 28th: I finished my Driver’s Education!
February 28th: I conquered my fears on a FIFTY-FOOT swing!!! I also wrote two songs, one about trusting God enough to let go of your comfort zone (entitled “Free-Fall”), and one about how we as Christians are called to be lights in this dark world (entitled “Meant To Be (A Light)”).
March 28th-April 5th: I went back to Orofino, Idaho on my Youth Group’s second Mission Trip there. In addition to having a great week full of service projects, Bible Studies, and sharing God’s love with people, God taught me a lot. He showed me some sin that I needed to get rid of, and He began to show me a big part of my spiritual gifting (but I didn’t realize it at the time. I’ll talk more about this later).
May 15th: I got my Driver's License!!!!!!!!! :-D
June 16th(ish): I finished my first year going to a community college!
Summer: Over the whole summer I was busy working as a Junior Intern at my Youth Group’s Whitewater Rafting Camps. I had a blast the whole time, rafting, hanging out on the beach, doing Bible Studies, working my tail-end off, sleeping under the stars, etc. God used these weeks to teach me many important things: what True Humility looks like, that all self-love is sin, that I had an idol I needed to get rid of, and that a big part of my spiritual gifting is to listen. God showed me that I don’t always need to talk (even when I really want to), that sometimes people just need someone to listen and empathize with them, and He showed me that I’m meant to do that.
August 26th: I changed my blogging strategy (although it didn’t seem to help me blog more, it did help me to straighten out things in my mind and to encourage other people more).
September 21st: School started back up, (yippie!) (that was half-sarcasm, half-true).
October 3rd: I officially became an “adult”!!
November 5th-8th: The Youth Group from Orofino turned the tables and came here for service projects! I had a WHOLE lot of fun seeing them all again, as well as getting to serve in my own community alongside them!
December 17th-18th: Mini-Retreat for those in Bible Read-Thru. I got to get to know two of my friends a lot better and Rob (our Youth Leader) led us all in two great “rap sessions” (kinda like Bible Studies, only focusing more on a question that one of us had).
December 20th: I looked back on my fun year and now I feel almost sad to see it leaving me, but I also feel really excited about this next year approaching me! Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year, everybody!!!!! :-D

Saturday - randomness!
hey. :) i havn't blogged in a while so i guess i need to come up with something good to say huh ? lol well, um, thanksgiving was this last Thursday, and everybody got a four day weekend. We had a lot of fun on Thanksgiving. We wen to see a movie and then we went and saw some waterfalls on the willamett river (idk how to spell wilamett? :P) but yeah i got some good pictures of that (hoping they turn out) And then after that we came home and picked up some food and went and hung at bill and cindy's while our parents played cards, and talked about stupid stuff they did as kids. Like my mom was saying the worst she ever did was climb out of her bedroom window with her best friend and go and jump on the trampoline in the middle of the night for like 15 seconds. lol (and while she is saying this i am thinking "yeahhh right!") haha so anyways. my dad was saying how he had his first girlfriend in 5th ggrade, and how he went for a joyride with his best friend josh when he was probably 14. (i also seemed to notice taht my dad and his "buddy" josh did a lot of daring stuff.) so yeah they were talking about that, and then bill said that one time him and his best friend would roll the car out of the driveway and put bottle caps where the tires were a lot, and then he said one day his friends othe rfriend was there and his friends sister was steering the car out while they pushed it and his friends tripped and before they noticed the car ran over his leg adn broke it. (and then they got caught) he also said that they weren't allowed to talk to eachother for the longest time after this, because everyone else blamed everyone else
. (the parents did) bill also said that one time him and his friends made it from Yacolt to Battleground in 6 min once.. (that's scary fast!) but yeah it was fun to listen to all the stories that they told, because after lettign us hear that they couldnt tell us we were so horrible kids anymore.. jk lol. but yeah. we had an awesome Thanksgiving, but when we got home we watched idk how many episodes of "mork and mindy" lol urijah said it was the "best thanksgiving ever!" which i agree because we didn't have to clean the kitchen when we were done eating, we didn't have to go through a ton of work to make the meal, and we could pretty much just sit around and relax. it was awesome. well, besides thanksgiving, not much has happened lately. i havn't seen aleesa since last friday :( its sad. :((( and i wrote a new song abotu a boy, that i only see so often, but i see him more than once a year, and its really confusing :/ because yeahh.. i still cant believe i wrote a song about him, i NEVER thoguht id EVER write a song about the person i did.. :( my only saving grace is that i didn't use anybody's actual names in it :) so that's good. because he is my best friend (or realllly close to it, alleeeesas my BFF) but hey i g2g :) TTYL :)
~kassi
