My place...

If I was somewhere else right now I would want to be at my church. Hillside Baptist Church. I've grown up there and it literally is my second home. so many things happen there that are as much a part of me and my life as anything else I do. Now that I'm out of the teen department I am actively involved in almost everything at the church. I teach a Sunday school class and help in the primary church classes because I love those kids so much. They are like my little brothers and sisters and to my mother's heart they are like my children too. I sing in the choir and in special music. I am also in orchestra and special instrumental music too. I am the projects director for our Wednesday night kid's program Master Club. I am in charge of costumes for the children's Christmas play this year and I'm helping with the music for that. I instruct a cardio workout (Zumba) class for the ladies at my church and work in the kitchen when we have fellowships. I also help with many many other things that need to be done and if someone asks me to do something I pitch in and help because I love my church and my church family and I want to make it the best it can be. When all of the "minor" details are taken care of then it's easier to worship the Lord. My church family is the most awesome church family ever. Every one's chemistry is great and we try to always portray a loving friendly attitude to everyone members and visitors alike. In the past few years several of the older people have taken me under their wing and taught me things and showed me things that will help me for the rest of my life. The older people really invest in the young people at my church and they really care about them too. We have three amazing pastors and they all do their jobs seamlessly and effectively. Many things have happened over the years. One night we were having a youth all nighter and us girls had already went up to my youth pastor's house with his wife, Mrs. Kristen, to watch a movie and do each others hair and things like that, and I guess the guys thought it would be a good idea to use the rolling bottoms of the trash cans to use for scooters and they got a little rowdy and they made a big hole in the wall. And I'm pretty sure it was my youth pastor who was on that scooter.
