TED talk

Hey all!  Sorry I haven't been doing this a whole bunch this month.  It's been media month, so I kind of gave it up.  For the past couple weeks though I have been working really hard on my TED talk, which I will be giving TODAY in front of my entire english class (8:45am).  I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction then what I had talked about on here a couple weeks ago.  I am going to be speaking about Cutting Excess Out of Your Life.  Much like this blog!  I am really excited and can't wait to see what my classmates think of it.  I practiced all day yesterday, and I think I might have another sinus infection, so please pray that my voice won't give out in the middle of my speech today.  That would completely ruin the entire thing.  I am trusting that God will open the ears and the hearts of the students that will be listening to my talk, and that they would receive it well.  I want to impact my school, and this is just one step to get there.  Please pray that the students would want to know more about what I am doing and that they might even come and visit this blog!  I am praying that I won't forget my words or leave out a really important part, but also that this talk would kind of sum up everything that I have been doing.  I want to honor God in everything that I do, and this is no exception.  I pray that God will give me the strength to keep going and the words to effect these students the most.  I have prayed for every single student in that class multiple times, and I just want them to take my message to heart.  I want to effect their thinking, and show them that they are missing out on so much when they are not choosing God.  I had multiple people in that class sign my yearbook saying something along the lines of, 'Oh I wish I was as strong in my faith as you' or 'The way you live your life out through your faith is amazing, I wish I did that' and other things.  These students are calling out to God, but they just don't know that He is walking towards them with out stretched arms.  Please pray for these kids as they are constantly searching for things, only to be let down.  They need Jesus.  This class is one of my favorites, and I am going to be sad next year when we are all split up, but I hope that what I say today will stick with them and that they will be intrigued.  Curiosity does wonders.  Again, please pray for me, that my voice won't give out and I won't have to stop, and pray for these kids.  They are the ones who need prayer.  I can't wait to see what God is going to do in their lives; they are going to do amazing things for Him.  Thanks for always reading and praying.  You guys are the best and I love you.  Thanks again, m
