Day 11- a picture of something you hate

This is Isaiah. 

Be assured, I do not hate Isaiah.

What I hate is this picture. 

I hate seeing a child that tiny.

I hate seeing my baby brother starving.

I hate seeing people throw away money on worthless junk when for, what, like, ten cents a day you could save a life. 

Isaiah was starving to death when he came to the orphanage. 

He weighed 7 pounds.

He was probably around a year old.

He didn't deserve that. 

Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.

Hunger is preventable. 

No child should have to die because they're parents don't have the resources to get them food. 

15 million children shouldn't die of hunger every year. 

But they do. 

So what are you gonna do about it? 

It doesn't take much.

Anyone who knows Isaiah, knows that he is now healthy and happy, thriving in a family who loves him. 

I'm not saying you all have to go and adopt, but research this stuff. 
Its a serious issue. 
Don't ignore it.

Day 10- a picture of the person you do the most messed up things with

Hahaa. Yes.

Day 09- a picture of the person that has gotten you through the most

My mom, my dad, and Jesus.

My mom:
She's beautiful. Inside and out. She's my best friend.
I would hope one day I will be as great of a mom to my kids that she is to me.
She is so amazing. The number one thing I admire in her?
Her sense of humor and her quick wit. She knows how to make me laugh when I feel like crying.
I love our late-night talks. I can talk her ear off and beat around the bush for hours, but she listens to me the whole time anyways. I love that I don't feel like I need to keep any secrets from her because she knows what I'm going through.
Also, She's suffered through 15 years of ME. So yes, she's a superhero.
I love you so much, Mom.

My Dad:

So, my dad is significantly cooler than your dad. In my humble opinion, of course.
He has such a passion for Jesus, the Bible, and theology. And that passion rubs off on everyone in our family.
He has taught me so much. He's also a great listener, and gives me tons of awesome advice.
My dad loves to invent stuff. (i.e. the bike with a bike behind it with a trailer behind that. It makes life more simple when you have three children that simultaneously get the urge to go for a bike ride. See picture...)
He's insanely creative.
Also, he's hilarious.
Best times with my dad ever?
This one time we were driving in the car and he handed me this random object from the garage and says, "Figure out what that is."
After quite a few lame attempts at figuring out what it could possibly be, he tells me what it is for, how it helps us, and how this can tie into our life and our relationship with Jesus. Yeah. He's just cool like that.
I love you, Dad. You're the best. 

Jesus:

Words can't describe how much He has gotten me through. When I feel like I have no one else to go to, Jesus has always been there. I just open up my Bible and fall at His feet. When nothing I say seems to make sense, I know He understands. And I know He loves me no matter what.

Chapter of the Bible that has gotten me through the most:

 "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
 I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, 

I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers, 

they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
 you will not be burned;
 the flames will not set you ablaze.
 For I am the LORD your God,
 the Holy One of Israel, your Savior...

since you are precious and honored in my sight,
 and because I love you,
I will give people in exchange for you, 

nations in exchange for your life.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
...everyone who is called by my name,   

whom I created for my glory, 

whom I formed and made..

No one can deliver out of my hand. 

When I act, who can reverse it?

 ...Forget the former things;

 do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! 

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness 

and streams in the wasteland...

 I, even I, am he who blots out 

your transgressions, for my own sake, 

and remembers your sins no more..."

 Isaiah 43, of course.

So there you have it!

--Hailey

This was a hard one. i thought about it a lot. 

But i couldn't think of anything that i would ever want to forget. 

Everything happens the way it does for a reason.

I want to be one of those old people that never runs out of stories.  

I want to remember everything.

Never forget.

Day 07- a picture of your most treasured possession

My Bible and my iPod for sure. 
I go absolutely no where without my Bible, and almost no where without my iPod.
I read my Bible a lot. I find it really crucial to my relationship with Jesus. I love, love, love my Bible. God wrote me a book, that's reason enough to read it. :)
And if you know anything about me, you know I listen to music pretty much all of the time. This is also pretty crucial to my relationship with Jesus.
  
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also..." 
Matthew 6:21

Get out and enjoy this gorgeous weather!

Day 06- a picture of a person you would love to trade places with for a day

Yes, Homer. I would LOVE to trade places with this wonderful man for a day. Just, you know, to see what its like to be a potentially blind Greek poet living in, like, the first century. Who wouldn't want that? No, actually I think I would enjoy the fact that he would come and see what it's like to be a teen girl in the 21st century having to read his books. Maybe in that day, I could convince his friends to tell him to stop writing. It would spare many a young person from suffering through his Odyssey thousands of years later. Just kidding, I know they are priceless works of art and history, and they help us to...be...smarter...But right now, I don't really like him. Also, I feel as if there's something quite endearing about the little hairdo and sheet-type thing draped over his shoulders.
