Im Going to D.C.

a few months ago i went for an interview to see if i could go on an all expenses paid trip to washington D.C. for a week and visit the nations capital and stuff. Well the valedictorian of my class beat me out of the spot....but i got alternate. Luckily one of the districts couldn't find someone or something of that sort so they pooled the alternates together and i was drawn out so im going to D.C. with Rachel H.

My Why I Want To Go To AIM Letter


I’m one of a whole lot of words…. as long as they’re coming out of my mouth but me trying to put them on paper doesn’t always work out just real well. I will however in the best interest of the person who gets to read this try to make it interesting and not like the other 80 or so they may also be having to read.

In a world of AIMers one man… Oh wait, the story can’t start like that. AIM is a teamwork thing. One group stands together in a struggle that has been around for a long, long time…. Non-believers. It’s not our place to condemn, them not in the least, but to help them see Jesus and understand that he is always there for him. So we as AIMers have to go in with our guns drawn and firing....(director) “Wait that’s not how it goes.” (me) “Well do you want the story to be interesting or do you want it to be true?
(director) “Well…so far it’s neither. We don’t have to take any shots at non-believers, and in fact it would be the totally wrong thing to do.”

I first knew about AIM through Teenage Crusade for Christ (TCC); AIM always had a booth there, and I would always take the really neat key chains and not think a thing about it. If I had known at that time in my life that I would want to do AIM it would have made things so much easier for me. I like the fact that AIM is giving me an opportunity to do what I think I have a knack for which is meeting new people and sharing my beliefs and letting them know where I come from and where Im headed in life. If your around me for more than five minuets you will learn quickly that I am a very social butterfly and maybe a little to much some times because ive been the token annoying kid before.

AIMers came to Childress last year to do service projects and I was in awe of how sure they were in what they were doing. How they showed you Jesus just by the way they acted and talked and treated one another. How everyone just got along so well. Christian means little Christ or Christ like and the AIMers were just that.

One of the main reasons I want to go to AIM and probably the biggest one is that I can help others begin there walk with Christ while I grow closer to God and learn more about his awesomeness. Everyone needs to grow closer to God. In my opinion no one is done spiritually growing until they are walking close enough to hold God’s hand. Which I’m not sure if anyone can achieve that. That’s were I hope to come in help people reach out to Him.

Do Not Fear

rI've gotten to the point where not a whole lot scares me anymore. Things on tv that would have given me nightmares for weeks when I was a little kid I could now probably laugh at. Roller-Coasters were the worst though, my dad made me ride one on a vacation once when I was about 13 and I remember bawling as if I was going to die, and my little brother Jakob maybe at age 7 at the time was in my mom’s arms crying. and i was wondering why is he crying . Then i look back at him and i hear him say "mom why can't I ride" The bible says to fear the Lord in Deuteronomy 6:13
You must fear the Lord your God and serve him. When you take an oath, you must use only his name.

I don’t think that it is a terror kind of fear but an acknowledgment of his might control and power. It is also one of the seven gifts of the holy spirit in Isaiah 11: 2-3 A respect thing but more often the Bible tells us, Do not Fear, infact it says do not fear 365 times. Now ive also heard that it takes 21 days to make something a habit or to break a habit. That’s one do not fear for every day of the year yet we are still afraid.


1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."


Isaiah 54:4
"Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.

Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
