Long time, new Year!

2012-01-07T09:05:00.000-08:00

Hey Friends,
Happy New Year! Since I wrote last, I have had done a summer long tennis academy option, went to Cincinnati, Ohio and watch real, live professional tennis players. Had a birthday, started High School, Thanksgiving, DRIVERS ED. Started the class on the 28th of November and it went through the 15 of December. I did really well on the test and I am getting my hours in. Then I enjoyed an amazing Christmas present early on the 15th... going up to GR to watch The Story Tour. That was so amazing. Then Christmas began and ended. New Year's Eve I babysat.
Life has been crazy. Life has been tough. Life has been amazing. My life has been full of God.
I can't believe it's been so very long since I've posted on here.
I am considering starting something new, like video posts on youtube or here. Whatever works really. I bet my life isn't the only thing that has been crazy, I'm sure you have had tons of occurrences in your life too. Thanks for reading this. I hope you are all healthy, physically and spiritually.
Love in Him,
katherine <3

Right before we hit the road, we watched Isaac play a baseball game. It was so cute to see little 5 year olds play baseball!

Isaac is up!!!

The heat got up to 100 degrees! It was HOT! So that's my trip to Indiana. I enjoyed it a lot! :)

You're Not Alone

2011-05-30T16:36:00.000-07:00

Recently, I've been a little down. This life has so many ups and downs and one thing that seemed like nothing is just increasing in size. I feel like a bug under a magnifying glass. People are judging me, watching me, seeing how I respond to situations and I'm not sure if my reaction is the best. Do you ever feel alone? Like there is no way out? That friends who used to be good are changing? Well, while growing up, especially the *cough* awesome *cough* teen years can be so tough. At least one thing never changes... and that's God and His love for us. When we feel like life isn't working out right, we need to rely on God. RED wrote this amazing song called, "Not Alone" and it has been an encouragement to me. In the song they say, "I'm with you, I'll carry you through it all. I won't leave you, I'll catch you, when you feel like letting go. You are not alone.
Life's hard, but God is stronger than anything!

The 1 Survivor

2011-05-13T13:57:00.000-07:00

Recently, I've been reading the book Mistaken Identity and it has touched me a ton. There was a terrible accident (April 26, 2006) of a Taylor University van and 5 lives were lost and 1 survived. The survivor, Laura Van Ryn family received a call that their daughter had survived. The other 5 received the dreaded news. Laura's family was at her side 24/7 for 5 weeks straight. Every little bit, Laura would do, say or they would see something that made them a little uncertain it was her but remembered with the brain injury she had it was common. In a therapy session, 5 weeks after the accident, Laura was told to write her name. She wrote, Whitney. The girl the Van Ryns were caring for over 5 weeks ended up not being Laura. But another student, Whitney Cerak. I can only imagine being in this circumstance. Any perspective is difficult. But through this, the Van Ryns, which had the worst part of the deal, have done what is humanly unheard of. They kept praying for Whitney. Instead of getting angry with God, they rejoiced.

God used this scenario to bring people to Him!

Even when terrible things happen in our lives, God can take and use them for good.

Why don't you pray for the families that had victims and the survivor?

Glorious Day

2011-05-06T18:17:00.000-07:00

Living He loved me, dying He saved me. Buried He carried my sins far away. These lyrics of Casting Crown's song is amazing. We can't even imagine what happened on that cross. We are now so focused on our lives and what makes us happy. Jesus was and still is perfect, never sinned while people were so cruel to Him. And we sin even when people are being fine to us. What is going on here? God's Son came to this earth and suffered the worst death imaginable and us humans aren't telling everyone we see each day? What grief we must put on God. Oh God, let me and my brothers and sisters in Christ step up. Help us to be living images of Your Son, Jesus. Let us not be consumed by this world. The media or images. Please keep our minds pure, so that when we come face to face with You, we can hear You say loud and proud, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

Need a laugh?

2011-05-06T14:12:00.000-07:00

Sometimes life can get a little overwhelming. Sometimes you worry about all the bad stuff going on and forget about the good. Well, I'm not going to give a whole speech about it cause it's a Geico commercial. It's copying the game ALL our mothers used to do to us. And the piggy went...what? Wheeee! Anyway, I hope it makes your day!

Keep laughing!! :)

Are you Strong? God is 1,000,000,000+ stronger!

2011-05-03T13:29:00.000-07:00

Do you ever feel like life can't move on? Do you ever wonder if God really cares? Life has its waves and storms. If God loves us, why would He put us through these circumstances? Why can't He make our lives better? Why is it that people doing the right things normally don't get the benefits as of doing it the "worlds way"? These are some questions I've been grasping with. Man, life's tough, right? In the world, there's too much "stuff" to deal with. Simple stuff like daily algebra equations don't seem much to women about to have an abortion. You would think people would start standing up, you would think that people would start wanting to make a difference. Us Christians (including me) are trying to be as close to the world as we can. Why is that? If us Christians don't take the wheel, who will? Sorry, I'm just pouring my heart out as I type. Have you ever wondered why all sin is equal? Why is it that a simple discouraging word on a sister as bad as murder? God says sin is sin and that He had to die on the cross for all of them. I don't know, I just don't understand this world. Well, if you can relate to any of this paragraph you're not alone. God is HERE and will guide us. Being a teen isn't easy, He knows, He was there. Isn't it amazing to know that Jesus struggled with the same things we do and yet never sinned? What a savior! Mandisa's song "Stronger" really encourages you to keep riding the waves of life. Are you strong? God is 1,000,000,000+ stronger!

Let's keep riding the wave!

Without You, we cannot exist...

2011-05-02T13:41:00.000-07:00

My ipod touch is one of the possessions I love. You can do so much on it! I find peace and comfort in music thanks to this little device! :)
What gives you comfort and peace? A secret hide-away, being alone, writing in a journal or even music? If at this moment, you're not sure where you can find that peace, try listening to some music today. There are many different styles and beats, you will be sure to find some you like. However, many things that might bring you happiness is not always the best, listen to things that encourage you and most importantly glorifies Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for Him, we wouldn't exist.

A new gadget

2011-05-01T16:22:00.000-07:00

Hey!
I wanted to make this new gadget on my blog noticed. I was on my friend, Christianna's blog (which is an amazing blog by the way) and she had it. The music is amazing! On some computers, it doesn't work. :'(
Thank you Christianna, for sharing your love for Jesus by the music you listen to and letting me copy you! <3
Happy may!
Happy me!

Historical Memories: Day 4

2011-04-27T18:28:00.000-07:00

What it takes to save our country

The tomb of the unknown soldiers... we can't even comprehend the millions that gave their lives for freedom and liberty.

Many who took a step out of their comfort zone to make a difference.

Me and Christinna in Lee's house.

Tombs went as far as you could see. I was thinking of all the people I know and that doesn't even come close to the numbers of people who died on the battle field.

The front of the Lincoln Memorial,

The Abe we all love.

Vietnam Memorial. During that time, people thought it was a useless war, so they did anything but respect the soldiers fighting in it. It's huge that they have wall with those who lost their lives in D.C.

Cute duckies! :)

President Roosevelt's cute dog! It looks like Lady!

Thomas Jefferson Memorial,

Hey, look, it's me!

While at the Jefferson Memorial, we saw a helicoptor fly over us that lead to the White House. Maybe the President, eh?

The Capitol! :)

A replica of the Capitol in the Capitol building!

We got to go out on the balcony and straight ahead was the Washington Monument.

The group with Representative Huizenga.

We got to ride on an underground train where the real congress rides. (The guy walking is Mr. Ransom)


Me and Christianna on the train/trolley! :)

Historical Memories: Day 3

2011-04-25T13:57:00.001-07:00

Washington D.C. is ahead of MI's warm weather. The flowers were in bloom. Everyone on the trip was taking pictures like crazy of these! What an amazing design from an amazing Creator!
If you look closely, can you see something??? Through the trees there's a white building... hummm the White House perhaps? ;)
I love this picture with the cherry blossoms in it!
The back of the White House... I think the president's daughter was peaking through the bottom left window... haha!
This is me and my sister by the White House... cute! :)
The three cute girls by the White House. Looks like the flag is pointing out of Christianna's head!
If people could move when I'm taking a picture, man it would be easier! How rude of them!
A horse statue, (I don't remember who) in front of the White House. The Washington Monument in the background!

This is the post/statue for Michigan.
There were thousands of stars symbolizing the people who fought.
Now, my sister Olivia and my friend Christianna would laugh at this. This duck wasn't afraid of anything. He was literally 2 feet away from us. We called him Flappi... Classy eh? That's Flappi with an "I" not a "Y'.

Historical Memories: Day 2

2011-04-21T13:00:00.000-07:00

The Star-Spangled Banner... what a banner to be proud of. Freedom is not free.
This is the Washington Monument. If you look closely, there was a time of I believe 50+ years that they had to stop building it. That's why the bricks are differently colored. Inside it, there are bricks dedicated to each state.
This is the Capitol. I zoomed in from the top of the Washington Monument to get this photo. We went for a Capitol tour and photos will be coming for that as well.
The incredible view... 555 feet up overlooking Washington D.C. On 1 side was the capitol, 1 side the Lincoln Memorial, 1 side the White House and I forgot the other one, sorry, Christianna, Olivia do you remember?

Statue of Martin Luther.
The National Cathedral... what a beautiful chapel! The whole building (if seen above) is in a shape of a cross. I thought that was so cool!
A beautiful stain glass window in the cathedral.
One of the chapels in the cathedral had this beautiful background. It almost looked like a fancy organ.
Helen Keller's grave is found in here.
What an amazing building. It took over 80 years to build and the stone walls weigh tons!

Historical Memories: Day 1

2011-04-20T13:38:00.001-07:00

Hello! I am back from my historical memories in Gettysburg/Washington D.C.
Boy, have I learned a lot! Before I get ahead of myself, I will start from the very beginning.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is a very historic destination. Many things have been mantained and kept from the actual civil war fought in Gettysburg. My favorite part of this day was the tour we had on the battle field.
This monument is a soldier who actually was from Michigan. The tour guide knew we were from there and gave us fascinating facts about what part they had in it.Thankfully, me and my friend Christianna are still alive from this canon... :)
The view of the battle field. Pictures doesn't due it justice, this was remarkable. Earlier that day, we were at the Gettysburg museum and we looked at a painting (called the circlorama, it was a painting in a room with everything on every side) and you could picture it.
Me looking over the battle field... now may I say, I hadn't slept for hours and was in a bus for over 12 hours! So I have an excuse for looking exhausted.
Me again! The pink by my face, is my sister's beautiful arm... thanks sissy for making this picture complete. ;)
Now, this is how random I am. I live in MI and I took a picture of a tulip... Yes, I did... My Dad thought I was nuts. This was the first time in my life that I saw guys taking picture of flowers. :D haha it was funny!

Washington DC

2011-04-11T12:28:00.000-07:00

This week me and my family will be going to Washington DC with a home school group... I am very excited! I have never been there, so hopefully it works out well!
We leave late this evening or early Tuesday morning at 2 AM.
When I get back, I will put pictures on!

Start living now

2011-04-08T16:29:00.000-07:00

What if there is a bigger picture? What if I'm missing out? What if there is a greater purpose. I need to start living now. I don't wanna miss what matters, I need to start reaching out.
The one and only Matthew West states it well. If we are living in our little bubble, though it might be easier, it might not be better. As I said in my post "Let's Change this Generation" we need to do something better to this world. Well, the question is what? In my case, a teenaged girl trying to grow up in a tough society, is not the easiest plan in the book. The first, and most important thing is getting yourself checked first. If you, yourself is not showing it, how can you guide others?
This is what I'm working on...when I type this, I am struggling with this...I don't want to sound like life is great cause right now, unfortunately, it's not. At least we have a God who will lead us in the right way.

Lead me God, oh lead me please!

Winter Jam: Part 3 "The talented performers"

2011-04-03T15:05:00.000-07:00

Me with the band RED...
I thought this would be a cool picture BEFORE I got the real band's photo... :)
This is Newsboys... the guy in front of me was pointing like CRAZY so I accidentally got this hand in it..
Newsboys came out on these cool platforms that moved... crazy entrance, eh?
Me and Christianna with our cool Winter Jam t-shirts that later got signed by RED!
Chris August came out during a break and sang...
Sidewalk Prophets singing their guts out!
They led many in deep worship, it was beautiful! God works!
Kutless... amazing! They came out and started singing "It Is Well" but in a more modern way, this song really touched me deeply.
Looks like the guitar guy is having fun!!

Francesca Battistelli is such an amazing person! She was so humble and made everyone laugh! She is one of my role models!
Seeing her in concert made me like her even more!! <3

I thought this was really cool!! :) She came out waving... I waved and many screamed "I Love You" which made her giggle!
I didn't take many pictures of Newsong, but they were there and spoke to many.
RED began the concert and rocked it out... very loud... it was so loud that the drum beat felt like your actual heart beating... crazy stuff!
The main singer was jumping like crazy, doing his "rock dance" with his head... haha it makes me laugh! :) And yet I listen to them?? ;)

Winter Jam was very fun and I am so grateful that I could go!
Wanna go next year???

Winter Jam: Part 2 "Chris August"

2011-03-28T16:54:00.000-07:00

Chris August is an extremely talented individual that sings music in an amazing way!
It was a GREAT way to start off Winter Jam!

He's very talented! Let's thank God for talented singers that use their voices in the right way!

Winter Jam: Part 1 "The Wating"

2011-03-28T15:45:00.001-07:00

Winter Jam is an awesome Christian tour that has many artists each year to participate. Every year is different and unique and this year was my very first year to attend. The worst part is the waiting... this is not waiting in Florida this is waiting in MI's freezing 15 degrees weather for hours... Not the most fun...with a terrible wind...but it was worth it and I have pictures the prove it!
Wait...Wait...Wait...
After waiting for hours, then you can see the power of music.
Me and Christianna before it started!! :)

Lets change this generation...

2011-03-21T17:40:00.000-07:00

Recently God has been pricking my heart. It's a deep calling towards something, but I am not sure what. Isn't cool how the Creator of the Universe can communicate with us through feelings and emotions? I look at people like Harriet Tubman, Mother Tresa, Lisa Van Ryn, Eric Liddell and I long to be like them. They did something to this world that many forget, but it won't leave my heart. They all are individuals who have stepped out of the boat and are walking on water in history or still to this day. Why is the world like it is? People wanting more, abuse, starvation,war... this is not the world that God wanted. Since corruption entered this planet, however, things aren't what they used to be, and it just keeps getting worse. Everything is turning towards the down side, but who will change this? Who will escalate the love of God to people who have never heard of HIS love? I believe this generation, you and me, can make a difference. If we step across the line and start doing hard things, we'll be able to. Never say never, or that something is impossible... with God ANYTHING can happen...Lets show the love that we have received! Since this world is in desperation, lets change this generation to something bigger. Something that will mark history. Are you up for the challenge?

Adventure Reversal

2011-03-21T17:20:00.000-07:00

"Adventure Reversal"

By: Katherine Elizabeth Ancil

While sitting, gathered in church 14 year old Lucy with pigtails on both sides chuckled when

she saw Jeremy, the cute, yet naughty boy getting scolded by his mother. Lucy was anything

but an ordinary girl, she seeked adventure and one day she believed that that would happen.

Until then, she had to be polite, respectful and mature while her father and mother were

watching. After the sermon, Jeremy made his way through the crowd to find Lucy. Jeremy was

fond of Lucy, her bright blue eyes and her rosy cheeks; she was everything a guy would ever

want.

“Lucy!” shouted Jeremy shouted while departing the sanctuary.

Lucy, kind of puzzled but also flattered replied, “Can I help you?” with a giggle.

“Yes, you can. My father just told me that I can take one of my ‘church friends’ with me to

go camping at Woodman’s Creek and it would be awesome if you could come. Don’t worry

about asking your parents, I already have their permission. It’s all up to you!”

“I would love to” replied Lucy anxiously.

“Sweet! Me and my family will pick you up around seven o’ clock tonight! See you then!”

“Come on, Lucy,” wailed William, her 5 year old baby-like brother. “I am hungry!”

“William, quite your wining, oh, what do you know, here is mother and father with the car.”

As the hours went by, Lucy’s heart raced as she was packing her bags and getting prepared

for her journey with Jeremy’s family, the Coleys. Finally, Lucy was all ready to go when she

heard a knock on her bedroom door. It was her mother. Lucy admired her mother and longed

to be like her when she was older.

“Honey” Lucy’s mother said with a comforting voice. “You might not be aware but I know you

have wanted an adventure and you have this time, enjoy babe and I love you.”

“Love you too, mom!”

“I see head-lights, they must be here!”

“Wow, I can’t believe this is happening to me,” exclaimed Lucy as she skipped out of her

room and down the hall to the door. Lucy’s father was talking to Mr. Coley about politics as

usual.

“Hi Mr. Coley!” shouted Lucy as she was heading toward the camper.

“Hi darling,” replied Mr. Coley as he was giving last hugs to Lucy’s parents. “Are you

excited?”

“I am super excited,” shouted Lucy in her sing-songy voice when she was nervous and

excited at the same time.

Then Jeremy rushed over and said, “Lucy, let me take your bags, you can hop into the

camper,” as he took Lucy’s belongings into the U-Haul behind the camper.

“Thank you, Jeremy” replied Lucy hopping into the camper. Lucy’s heart began to race again,

she could not believe her first adventure was taking place. After what seemed like forever,

Jeremy hopped in beside Lucy and closed the door shut.

While buckling his seat belt, Mr. and Mrs. Coley yelled simultaneously,

“All in with seat belts fastened?”

“Yes,” replied Lucy, Jeremy and Jesabell in unison.

Jesabell, was Jeremy’s older sister, that had a baggage of attitude but was nice when it was

in her favor. When the hour struck seven, Lucy’s stomach began to rumble. Jeremy, since he

was sitting next to her said,

“Are you hungry?” Lucy, not wanting to sound rude said “A little bit,” while inside thinking

it’s about time!!!

“Dad, are there any restaurants nearby?”

His father replied, “We were just thinking it would be a good idea to stop. Poor Lucy isn’t used

to dinners at this late hour.” Soon after, they pulled into a Culvers restaurant and ordered their

meals with to-go sundaes. Then, they headed back for the road, hoping to arrive at Woodman’s

Creek by sunshine the next morning.

Finally, Jeremy, his family, and Lucy arrived at Woodman’s Creek just as the sun began to rise

in the distance.

“We are here and on time!” exclaimed Mr. Coley while exiting the car and hopping into the

camper. “Jeremy, show Lucy around, will ya?”

“Okay, Dad, come on Lucy, lets embark on a new adventure!” The two teenagers ran off into

the morning sunshine with dew dripping down their bare legs.

After walking in silence, Lucy said,

“This camp is amazing, do you know any hidden passage ways, Jeremy?”

Jeremy with a big smile said, “You know, I was hoping you would ask!” So Jeremy led Lucy

behind the fire pit to an unseen world. A world that was peaceful. A world that was gorgeous.

This was the world that Lucy had been dreaming about and now she was there anticipating

adventure.

“Hey, Jeremy,” Lucy questioned while sitting on a log with a gentle cushion of moss.

“Yes?” Jeremy answered in a questioning response.

“I always thought that you were naughty and rude.”

“Well?” Jeremy interrupted, wanting her to get to the point.

“I guess I have just seen you differently here. If I may ask, which one are you?”

Jeremy not knowing how to respond to this muttered,

“I am usually this way, however, I have been under some stress recently.”

“Stress?” replied Lucy, “From what?”

“My guy friends mostly, I mean friends can be so good but I hate it when there is tension and

revenge. You know competition to be the best. I guess you are bringing me back to the good

Jeremy, the Jeremy that matters, the Jeremy that is forgetting about those friends and the

frustration and living in a new moment.”

“I agree,” said Lucy. “It can ruin a friendship, I have been there too,” she admitted.

After Lucy and Jeremy were honest and spoke one-on-one their friendship was

strengthened.

Then, through the fog, Jeremy heard something growling. He knew it wasn’t right. He quickly,

yet gently grabbed Lucy’s hand and said,

“Come with me.”

Lucy trusted Jeremy and without hesitation, she said,

“I will.”

They both ran, hand-in-hand when suddenly something was behind Jeremy. It was a full

grown, hungry as a dinosaur cave bear. This cave bear was ravenous and was interested in his

prey. Lucy’s throat began to ache from the running, her throat felt like someone was rubbing

old, bumpy sand paper on it. She could hear her heart pumping inside her chest and then

everything went black. She collapsed. Jeremy turned around just in time to see the ferocious

cave bear dashing towards them at a great pace. Jeremy swiftly grabbed Lucy in his arms and

ran to a tree to seek shelter. Just before Jeremy reached the tree he tripped over an old tree

trunk and he too, collapsed to the damp, earthy wood’s floor. Lucy suddenly became conscious

because of Jeremy’s fall. Both her and Jeremy, bruised and tired hid behind a big bush. The

hungry bear had lost sight of Lucy and Jeremy and chose to eat a few nutritious black berries

instead. Suddenly, Jeremy heard a growl, he turned around, only to find a tiny, ten-pound-or-

so fox panting with puppy-like eyes with a grin. They did a relived and exhausted laugh. Both

of the frightened teenagers took a great gasp of air and fell in to a quiet and restful sleep.

Lucy’s eyes began to flutter as she smelled hot dogs roasting on the bonfire. When

Jeremy saw Lucy was awake, he said, “Are you feeling well, beautiful Lucy?”

Lucy’s face blushed and a big grin took over her face and replied, “Yes, yes, I am.”

“That’s awesome!” said Jeremy. “Apparently my parents searched every nook and crany of

the woods and then found us dead as mice and carried us back to the campsite.”

“Wow, really? At least they found us, or else we would be waking up there!” Then Jesabell

shouted, “I helped too. Jeesh, Jeremyo you need to start telling stories more accurately.”

“Sorry, princess Jesabell.” “Ready to come next year for another adventure?” They both

chuckled, “Jeremy,” Lucy said, “You risked your life for me, how could I ever----“

“No need to,” Jeremy interrupted, “I am glad and honored that I could risk my life for you.”

Jeremy embraced Lucy with strong affectionate arms and Lucy replied “And to think that, I

thought you were a naughty boy in church.”

My Best Friend

2011-02-27T10:08:00.000-08:00

I have a sister named Olivia and she is very nice. She knows me like no one else and knows my "quirky" parts. Her laugh is unique and

it's hard to beat. She also has a very steady beat in her music heat.

I am grateful God has blessed us together and even when it's tough.

We are the best friends that the world will ever know.

I love you Olivia!!

If you gotta start somewhere why not here?

2011-02-27T09:58:00.000-08:00

Music in my life, is a necessity. It helps me relive stress and remember who is in control!
One of my favorite music artists is TobyMac. His music has a modern rock beat yet is still enjoyable. I hope one day this world will be a CITY ON OUR KNEES!

Smile because you never know who is lookin...

2011-02-03T13:51:00.000-08:00

This month how about we show are friends how much we cherish them. You never know when you might never be able to see them again. Don't just smile to smile but smile to show how much you love your friends and most of all, God!

Fun Comes with a Price!

I love tennis! What a very fun sport to play. On the downside you occasionally enjoy being tough, recently I have experienced that toughness.
I some how have survived... ;) but I think it has made me better knowing that I tried my best to get to that ball. I guess when your best friend and housemate, Olivia, plays with you it motivates you in a different way!

Wisdom Teeth...

2011-01-04T10:48:00.000-08:00

Hey! Yesterday I woke up and found out that I was getting my Wisdom Teeth pulled in like 30 minutes. They (I am proud to say) are sucessfully out! If you could pray for the healing to go smoothly and there to be NO INFECTIONS that would mean the world to me.

This morning I had a terrible fall... (almost like a faint) before I got food. It was terrible. I am thankful that God has got me through this difficult situation.

Thanks!
