And even if I don’t say anything… It’s just because I’m suppressing my natural instinct in the pursuit of not being an outcast.

Which is not at all to say that the tournament wasn’t fun… Maybe just a little bit of a brain overload.

This year for my birthday, I don’t need more stuff, but more than a billion people need water. Let’s make a difference.
Go to my birthday campaign on charity:water, & let’s give someone clean, fresh water.
Currently, I have stuff. I have stuff I never use, & I’ll be honest: I don’t need more stuff.
Some people don’t have water. They don’t worry about stuff, because they don’t have water.
This year, I don’t want stuff, people need water.
I’m turning 17 years old, and instead of asking for gifts, I’m asking for money to help give someone water. To help build freshwater wells for people in developing nations.
A billion people in the world are living without clean water – but how much are they really living? Millions contract deadly diseases from contaminated water. 45,000 people will die this week alone. The lucky ones won’t, but still walk hours each day to get dirty water to give to their families.
My birthday wish this year is not for more gifts I don’t need; it’s to give clean and safe drinking water to some of the billion living without it. I want to make my birthday matter this year.
please note: Because of charity: water’s unique model, 100% of all donations go directly to direct water projects costs, and each donation is “proved” and tracked to the village it helped when projects are complete.
Even if you don’t donate, or can’t donate & if you do donate, remember Isaiah 41.17, The poor and homeless are desperate for water, their tongues parched and no water to be found. But I’m there to be found, I’m there for them, and I, God of Israel, will not leave them thirsty.
& pray for them. Pray that they receive both water to nourish their bodies & a living water so that they’ll never thirst again.
So I got tagged (on Facebook) by my friend Lindsay to do this. As we all know, I’m not really allowed to do anything on facebook, so here it is. Now, the whole world can know 99 truths about me. (99 because one question was asked three times)

So, I’m on the bus home from summer camp, yesterday, and I’m calling my mom to tell here what time to be at church to pick us up. (It must be noted here, that the drive from near Kimberly in the Free State to Centurion in Gauteng is a 9.5-10 hour drive.)
She says great, she’ll see us at 9pm at Eastside, and then says she has some news. To quote, she says: “Guess what! We’re moving at 7 in the morning tomorrow!”
It’s not funny. We have mostly moved, but we’re still carting some stuff from Midstream to Midlands. Andthe Bali house is not quite finished yet; they are still cleaning, and must put handles on the cabinets and paint the wood that goes along the bottom of a wall tomorrow.
That’s okay though!
