The trip to Florida was so much fun! I got to ride many rides and I got to perform in front of many people. I also loved the weather down there it was a little chilly during the night time. I had a blast! I was also down there for my birthday! I turned 17. While we were down there we got to see the premiere of a new musical (play) called wonderland. It hasn’t been on broadway yet. It was really good. That is what I got to do on my birthday! We went to seaworld, universal studios, Hollywood studios, magic kingdom, animal kingdom, we also got to perform in the Disneys Candlelight Processional. I just want to thank everyone that helped me go to Florida. You all are a blessing a a big part in my life. Thank you so much. That is one memory I will never get that I got to do during my school years.
Florida trip
December
My month of December has been amazing! I have gotten to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra! They were absolutly amazing!! I got there newest album called “Night Castle.” Now I want all their albums. Now it’s Christmas Eve and getting ready to go to my Aunt Karens for Christmas Dinner and to open Presents. Then on Christmas Day we get to sleep in and open from parents and then go to my Grandmas for dinner and to open presents. The Saterday the 26th I leave for Florida with the group I’m in called Young & Alive. We will be on a bus for about 19.5 hours (oiy!) so my December is absolutely crazy but fun! I want to thank everyone who helped me raise money or even just gave me money so I could go to florida you guys don’t know how much it means to me. You are awesome! I love you!
Young & Alive
We only have two practices left until our first show. I think our director Mr. Zamarelli will be adding some this week because we need more practice. I am now learning to dance with a new girl because Zam ( director) knows that I know my dance moves so I have to help her get better before I can go back to my original dance partner. Which makes me nervous and stressed because we only have a few practices left. Pray that I can help this girl get the dance move momorized.
Sorry
Sorry to those who read my blog. Matt Rhine ( Ha like there has been anything to read) I have been so busy that I haven’t been able to write anything. For the group That I am in called Young & Alive we are down to two practices before our first show and I am really frustrated right now because I know that there are some people that are not ready yet! Also I am stressed because just this Friday I was told by my director that I am getting a different dance partner so I have to learn how she dances and only in two practices. It just put the pressure on me real hard but I know that with the help of friends and family I will be able to do it it is just driving me a little crazy right now.
Music!!
To someof you, you may find this boring but to me I love it. This hear I have to memorize so many songs. Songs from fiddler on the roof and songs from Young & Alive and songs we are going to sing in Florida for the candlelight processional which is also for Young & Live. Also songs for concert choir and for men’s choir. I don’t know the exact amount but it’s around 50 songs and all of them have to be memorized by December and we are way behind on all of it so we got to get our buts movin or it’s just going to get crazy! But I lov music I know I can do it and I love to be challanged.
Vacation in Washington D.C
Vacation was very fun. We visited many monuments, statues, and museums. I had a blast. We really did a lot
Of walking!!! But it was worth it. I learned a lot while
I was there. We were able to get a tour of the capital building, it is huge!! It has many statues and pictures in there. Our tour guide said that if you took the statue of liberty off of it’s stand it would be able to fit in the rotunda which is the room in the center of the building and still have room left over!! The room is huge!!! It was really cool!
Vacation!!
I am very excited about vacation. It has been a long time since I have been on vacation. I plan on having fun with my family. Hope it doesn’t go by to fast.
Acts 15.28
Many of us worry or feel so burdened that we feel we won’t make it any longer. Well I would like everyone to know that in Acts 15.28 it says that the Holy Spirit and God would Not let you be burdened with more than you can handle. They will only allow you to be burdened with what is necessary. You may say why doesn’t God/Holyspirit just take all the burdens away. Well I can’t say a lot but I do now that when we are burdened with something it is because he allowed us to be burdened with it. He knows how we will take the burden whether in a good or bad way. We just have to believe and have faith that He will help us through those burdens. Sometimes he puts us through struggles and burdens to help our faith get stronger or to learn something from those times. Always trust that God knows best and has his will guiding your life even through struggles and burdens.
God bless!

Amazing!!!
God is amazing!!! Some of you guy probably know that justin and I are twins and also are learning to drive well, we can’t afford to buy a car for me and justin and I so we prayed for God to make a way for us to get a car. Well as God always does, he provided. We were given a used ford tempo!! I am so excited. We should be getting it wednesday. We are not going to say who it is from though. What I have learned from this is that when you put your faith and trust in God to provide. When you devote your life to God he will always provide in some way! YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST, HAVE FAITH, AND LIVE FOR GOD!!!! Even when you are going through struggles and trials God will still provide.
Camp!
Camp was great! My favorite part was the services. Everyone of the messages were able to help everyone get close to God but also able to help you take steps to stay close to God. I have been called to be a youth pastor a long time ago but this year I have been reasured that, that is what I am supposed to be. Also many people got saved and filled with the holy spirit this weekend it was awesome. The games were really fun and muddy! I will say it again, camp was awesome!
