FUN TOPIC DAY!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!
It's a great day, and I am a really happy camper!
So I am going to talk about some of the things that have made me really happy!

Here is my TOP 10 right now!

1. (Starting with the best) God is still on his throne, and will never leave it. He keeps us alive! And he gave us grace, by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross! A free gift of salvation for anyone who takes hold of it and lets go of the sin that has weighed us down.

2. God has given me another day of life! He keeps my heart beating and my lung breathing. We can do nothing without God having control over it.

3. My family. Believe it or not guys, my family (Even if we are a little crazy, or sometimes get under each others skin) is MY family and I wouldn't want to live with anyone else. And my Nonna is visiting, and we have had a lot of fun together.

4. My amazing friends! (Whether they be the Chritenos, my reluctant writer buddies, my real life buddies, or other internet friends from FLVS) You guys are the best and I love y'all!

 5. My writing. I really do like to write. I believe God has gifted me with the ability to write, and I love him for it (and many other reasons). My writing has given me the opportunity to meet some great people on NaNoWriMo or the Fine Arts Club with FLVS, or other places.

6. The Fine Arts. I love to act! Some of you may already know this, but I have huge dreams about starring on my favorite TV shows or movies (Like this one time I imagined my self as Casey Jones...)

 7. Food. {This one is more of a guilty pleasure...} I like food a LOT...

 8. The Flash. My favorite superhero.

9. I love being creative. I have made some very interesting characters... *gives Marquez a look*

10. And All of you! :D I love you guys! You are the reason I come back and keep posting.

I would love to thank some of you personally for staying with me. Thank you Rubix, Leila, Autumn, Thomas, and Remi. Thanks for your participation and feedback. And all you others out there. :) Thanks.




So lets see your TOP 10. I want to see the things that make you happy.

Remi's Challenge Entry

SAMANTHA
I shuddered at the cold wind which beat against my back. When I left home, I hadn't been thinking ahead. I just had known I had to escape before time ran out. When-I shook my head to clear my thoughts. No sense in getting caught up in bad memories and having another panic attack. I had to keep moving. The snowy mountaintops loomed over me, almost as if challenging me to dare and climb them. But I had no choice...did I? I had to get to their tops, no matter the threat. Or else I...or else I...or else I would die. My mind reeled at the thought. I tried to shake it off but it was too late. I was already slipping into a memory. I closed my eyes, hoping it would be over soon...
"Here," yelled my brother, Satchiel, throwing my suitcase at me. I had packed it in advance with him, hoping in vain I would never need it. I grabbed it in the air and he tossed me a quick grin before crossing the hallway and kissing my cheek. "Don't do anything rash, princess. Okay?" I nodded quickly and heard footsteps thundering above us. "That's your cue," Satchiel said hurriedly. "Go now!" I nodded, and ran away as fast as I could. I turned at the exit of our house, the only home I had ever known to look back. Satchiel waved goodbye then gasped and fell to the floor. I saw my dad angrily holding up a fist behind him. He spotted me with my suitcase and yelled angrily. I ran as fast as I could, flying through the neighborhood until my surrounding became a blur. I wept for my brother, unable to come with me due to a disease that made physical activity limited. It had been a while since my dad had been nice. My mom was gone and my dad had turned to alcohol to mask the pain, quickly becoming my worst nightmare. He was one of the reasons I had panic attacks. One... I returned to reality screaming, with my eyes clenched shut. I slowly stooped screaming, gasping for breath. I opened one eye and started screaming again. There was a girl standing beside me, looking at me strangely.
"You're weird," she said simply, and marched right past me. I scrambled to my feet, trying to calm my breath.
"Wha-what are you d...doing here?" I finally managed out. She gestured to the tops of the mountains.
"I heard there is something magical up there. I'm trying to find it." She scowled at the mountain, as if it were the bane of her existence. I scrambled to catch up with her.
"That's..that's what I'm doing t-too! But I h-have a clue of what's up there..." I stuttered. I took out a worn out piece of paper. My mom had given it to me before she left, and told me one day that it would lead me to her. So I had emerged my life with figuring out the riddle after I left home. The girl studied it carefully and mouthed the words.
Come find me where the journey ends,
Devil's creek comes round the bend.
On the tops of the mountain above,
Only when they are white as dove.
My treasure lies in the cave,
But only one can it save.
Up the mountain you shall go,
To the corridor white as-
I gasped in surprise when the paper was snatched our of my hands. The girl growled and unsheathed a sword. A man's laughter drifted from a bit away from us and a man, about twenties, materialized.
"Hey darlings," he said, winking. "Want this?" He waved it around. The girl growled and he laughed. "Come and get it then!" He darted up the mountain, and I stared in amazement. He was simply leaping up an over-200-story mountain. The girl looked at me and sighed.
"Well, we both need that so I suppose we have to get it back," she said grudgingly. "I'm Isabel."
"Sama," I said hesitantly. ISABEL nodded.
"Hold on," she commanded and I grabbed onto her shoulders. She took off like she nearly had a jet pack on! I stared, flabbergasted at the disappearing ground.
"You...you can fly?" I asked. She rolled her eyes.
"Technically, I control wind, but close enough." We landed at the top where there was simply piles of snow. "Now where'd he go?" She muttered. ISABEL scurried over to footprints right when I spotted them, and began to follow. They led us to a cave. I hesitantly went in, hating the small space. It got narrower and narrower.
"I'm sorry, I can't do this!" I squealed. Isabel shrugged and went on. I contemplated, then followed. I hated being alone even more. We came to a door glowing green inside the cave. I hesitantly stepped in after Isabel. The man was in there, staring at a green stone, emitting a bright neon green glow. Isabel became entrance with it.
"It...it's so..beautiful," she whispered. She reached for it and the man turned to her. I cried out. His eyes were bright green. He stared at Isabel and hers became green too.
"It is mine, little girl," he hissed, snakelike. Isabel drew her sword and the man did the same. Then, the dance began. One would strike, then the other would dogs. On and on it went. Then, a humming sound filled the room. It vibrated the cave and I felt my insides shake to the core. They stopped fighting. The humming abruptly stopped and a boy erupted out of the ground. I screamed as loud as I could. He turned to me and flicked his finger toward me. I rose and and was smashed against the ground. I felt my nose begin to bleed. The boy smashed the other two similarly and went for the stone. Isabel fought her way up and made an attempt to slash him wirh her sword. The boy grinned and smashed her against the rocks, mobbing at super speed. His eyes slowly turned green as he spent more time in the cave. I wondered why mine weren't green. He became possessed and let out a roar. The man and Isabel started fighting him as well as each other.
"Stop," I whimpered, before I could have another panic attack. They turned on me and I cowered. They started toward me, advancing slowly. "Please don't hurt me," I begged. No response. Isabel raised her sword to hurt me. I curled up, bring the coward I am. The memory overtook me, and I accepted they I was probably going to die now that I was blinded by the memory. People say treasure your memories. Yeah right.

Leila's Challenge Entry!

HUMANS!!!! We have Challenge entries!!!!
First Entry is by Leila! Remember that you are all gonna vote on whose is the best! Enjoy Leila's story!

Cami stormed in in all her angry red-headed glory. She threw a patched and mud-stained robe onto Kent's head. "Put your dirty robes somewhere other than my dragon-riding trophies," she said angrily.

"You're too hung up over that stupid game!" Kent cried, annoyed.

"You don't have enough sense to like it," Cami stated haughtily, turning around to march out of the room. "Put your laundry somewhere else or I'll clobber you."

Kent threw a clod of dirt that he caused to materialize in his hand at Cami's back. "Ooh, don't you dare put that dirty robe on my precious trophy!" he cried in a mock-girly voice. "I won't get a single boy to like me if they see how messy I keep my room, so I'll blame it on poor, unsuspecting Kent!"

"Stop mocking her," Averett said, standing up and knocking his chair to the ground, his dark blue eyes flashing murderously. The murky black ink spilled all over his freshly completed essay, but he took no notice of it.

Cami gave him an annoyed look. "Get off my back, Iyer," she grumbled. "I can fight my own battles."

"And lose at them, eh?" Kent put in cheerfully.

"One more word and you're fried, Ala," Cami threatened, pointing a finger at him warningly.

"You wouldn't hurt me," he sneered. "You aren't allowed to use your powers outside of practices, are you? They say you're dangerous, but I think you're just a loose cannon."

Cami trembled with anger, her red hair crackling with energy as it did when she got angry, a warning sign for the others to buzz off or else. "Let's see just how much I care about the Homan's punishments," she said, referring to the leader of the school. "You're dead, Ala. I'm a thousand times more powerful than you, and you know it."

"I'm so scared."

"You should be," Averett said, glaring at Kent.

"Yeah, suck up to her," Kent shot back. A fissure opened up at Averett's feet, causing him to leap back while Kent smiled smugly. "We all know you have the biggest crush of all time on that girl. Weakness needs strength, eh?"

Averett shot over the quickly widening crack, knocking Kent to the floor. A blast of water that Averett was trying to shoot into Kent's ear flew out of control, hitting Cami's cheek and leaving a red welt with the force of its power.

"That's it!" she yelled, diving into the fray. Her body tingled with electricity, and when she touched the boys, they flew back instantly, hitting the wall. Averett was covered in mud and Kent was drenched from head to toe, and now they had matching bruises on the backs of their heads.

But Cami wasn't done, and she certainly had no interest in acting the peacemaker. She snapped her fingers and they flew into the air, shaking like rag dolls. "Little boys," she cooed, "why don't you come down and have a snack?"

Kent grinned and he quickly freed himself of Cami's invisible grip, flying to the floor like a magnet. "Do you have cookies?" he asked cockily. Dramatically, he waved his hand, causing a wave of earth to overpower her, knocking her to the ground and burying her from head to toe. "That's it, baby!" he crowed. "Don't mess with a-" A tidal wave came out of nowhere and drenched him from head to toe as he whipped to face his attacker.

Panting from the energy it had required, Averett regarded him with satisfaction. "Want to go jump in a lake?" he whispered, eyes narrowed. "There's a nice deep one out back."

Kent took a step back, but Averett just stepped forward, saying in a whisper that would send chills down anyone's spine, "Don't touch her again or I swear I'll drown you."

His snarl sounded like an animal's. "You wouldn't dare."

Averett's eyes flashed. "Try me." He raised his hand and Kent flew into the air, riding on another tidal wave.

The door flung open. Quela's blond hair was stuck to her forehead and her eyes were crazily wild as she regarded the scene. "Stop it."

Averett obeyed, dropping Kent to the floor, where he landed on his head. He sat up and looked at Quela, who looked as if she had come from an insane asylum.

"I'm sorry, Q-" Averett began, but she shook her head and, paler than ever, walked over to Cami and started digging her out. Gasping and choking, Cami emerged from the dirt, brown all over.

"Look who finally got a tan," Kent whispered, chuckling with mischievous glee.

Quela flashed him a look of utter contempt and Kent hung his head, embarrassed.  "I'm sorry," he said quietly.

"You should be sorry," Quela said fiercely. Her eyes looked so broken, which made the threesome feel worse than ever. She looked as if she were struggling to hold back tears.

Kent walked over and wrapped his cousin up in a hug. "I really am sorry. We all are," he added, glaring pointedly at Cami and Averett, who were quick to murmur their agreement.

She pulled away from him and shook her head. "Don't." She shook her head, apparently at a loss for words. "We've been through so much together... But you're just ruining it all by fighting!" She swallowed painfully and shook her head, pressing her hands to her cheeks.

Cami looked to the other girl, biting her lip. "We shouldn't have, Q, you're right." She glared at Kent. "Maybe if he hadn't put his robes all over-"

"Maybe if you weren't so darned stuck up!" Kent yelled.

"She is not stuck up!" Averett cried indignantly.

"STOP IT!" Quela yelled, trembling with anger. The three quieted instantly, staring at her as if she had come from another planet, indeed, they had never heard her be so loud. "Stop," she said in a quieter tone. "You've got to understand. I've seen so many people fight... I saw so many awful visions of fighting... You don't know how awful it is! Apologize!"

The boys looked at each other and grudgingly shook hands, muttering their apologies. Kent turned to Cami and gave a formal apology, looking as if he sincerely regretted having to do so. Cami repeated it, eyes slightly narrowed, but mainly cowed by the sound of near-tears in Quela's voice when she had yelled. Averett and Cami did the same.

Quela nodded at them all and left the room, but something was changed. The memory of Quela's sudden anger and near-breaking was impressed among them all and none of them wanted to be the one who pushed her over the tipping point.

Hey Humans... Today is gonna be a serious topic day.

I am gonna get straight to the point. America is a broken nation. You've probably heard or seen on TV, stuff about riots in Baltimore or Christians going out of business because they chose to stick to their beliefs. Guys our nation needs prayer! Pray for the rioters, pray for the police in Baltimore, pray for the Christians that are being affected by the new laws concerning same-sex marriage, pray for those who practice or support same-sex marriage. Guys all these people need Jesus! Believers or  not! These people need the love of God! Cause those who do not know God as their LORD and SAVIOR are in danger! The Bible says that our sins separate us from him! BUT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE!!! GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD! GOD SO LOVED AMERICA! GOD SO LOVED THE REBELLIOUS RIOTER! GOD SO LOVED THE HOMOSEXUAL! GOD SO LOVED THE CHRISTIAN! GOD SO LOVED THE NON-CHRISTIAN! God loves us all! And he desperately wants everyone to come to him! He loves us all! But he hates OUR SIN! That is why Jesus died! So we could be FREE from sin and ALIVE in Christ! We are no longer caught in Death and sin! We are a new creation! So Pray for these people involved! Pray that the ones who don't know Christ would find God's love and find their sin so repulsive, even if everyone else says its right, and lay it at the feet of the one who can wipe all the sin and shame and hurt away!

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone! Welcome to April! You have made it through the entire month! Give yourselves a hand!

So Sunday is Easter So I am remind you guys why easter is so special. Easter celebrates the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus! Jesus had it all in heaven. He had unlimited access to God the father  Yet because he loved us so much. He sent his son to die for us! For you, and I. He loved us so much that he put on human flesh and lived a human life. He faced every struggle we face, he went through every temptation, but he never EVER sinned. He lived a perfect life, so he could become the perfect sacrifice. He was despised, rejected, ridiculed, betrayed, and hung on a cross to become the perfect sacrifice, to take the wrath that was meant for us. He didn't deserve the wrath of God, but he became our propitiation for us! If the story stopped there, there would be no hope. We would all die in our sins and spend eternity in hell. BUT Jesus rose from the dead. He is alive! There is now no fear of death and hell if you belong to him. The price for sin has been payed by the blood of the lamb, and we are dead to sin and alive in him!
