Family Birthday

I really enjoyed watching the Olympics this year and I know a lot of you have too. But now that it's over, I think about how I'll soon be interested in other things and move on to another hype. As a culture, we always seem to move from hype to hype and we never get the satisfaction that we were made for. A lot of us (including me) try to fill our hearts with sports, music, movies when all we need is God. I'll admit, my interests change so quickly, I can't even keep up with them but I know that I'll always be interested in glorifying God because He lasts forever.

Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
1 Corinthians 9:25

Last Saturday was the Annual Family Birthday. My great grandma flies down from Chicago to visit every year and we all get together and celebrate our birthdays with her. Here are some pics...

Back to School Beach Party

Summer is one of the greatest things God created and I'll tell you why. There's no school. There's the beach. There's hanging out with friends. There's staying up late and eating Twizzlers for breakfast. But while there are many great things that can be enjoyed during the summer, there comes a time when summer changes, it's a time when notebooks and rulers go on sale at Wal-Mart and people stop planning beach days and then people start asking you the foreboding question: "So, when do you start school?"

Yes, friends, I started school today. I know a lot of you are starting school today and I just wanted to encourage you. I know I've struggled a lot with not working on school as hard as I should be (I still do) but now I try to think of 1 Corinthians 10:31: 'So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.' This year, I'm ready to do hard things and work hard on my school and not settle for 'just okay.' We can glorify God with our school by not complaining about it, getting it done on time and not procrastinating, doing your work carefully, and starting every school day with praying and reading God's Word. :)

So, we had a Back to School Beach Party last Friday. Here are some pics:

Quest Social at the Slingo's

Okay, okay, okay, so there was a Quest Social at the Slingo's house last Friday and it was a lot of fun. We played ten million games-Four on a Couch, Signs, Chess, Mafia...here are some pics. :)

Bring on the Bands '08

Hey everyone!

I just want to let you all know that Bring on the Bands ’08 is almost here! It’s going to be happening at the SGC church in Daytona and it will start at 7:00 p.m. and go till 11:00. If your band is thinking about playing, make sure you sign up! August 17th is the deadline for your band to sign up. Also, there has to be at least two people in your band and you can play a maximum of two songs. I know a lot of you haven’t decided what songs you will be playing but once you know, please let me or Kaylee know. There’s going to be games, prizes, snacks, music-it’s going to be a crazy fun night! And, I’d like to clear this up, this is not a competition, it’s just a way of glorifying God with music. So, I hope to see you all there! Don’t forget to invite your friends!

God bless,
Lyssa

A Night of Ageless Sound

Hey, everyone, sorry it's been awhile since I posted. Last night we went to A Night of Ageless Sound at the Titusville church, a bunch of people played music on different instruments and it was crazy cool. Here are some pictures...
