Birthday Wishes

Hey all.  I know it has been forever since I've posted anything, and I am terribly sorry. I honestly haven't written anything since the beginning of soccer season, but I'm finally able to be a part of the real world again.  To start off, I want to thank everyone for the support you've always given me.  Anything I've ever needed or asked for, there has been someone providing for me, and more importantly, praying for me.  I love you all so much and could never ask for a better group of friends.  I know that was sort of random, but I feel like I don't thank you or tell you I love you enough.

Now I have a favor to ask of all of you.  For my birthday last year, I asked for money to give to SweetSleep, an organization that provides beds and mosquito netting for families in Africa.  Through your support, I was able to give $500 to help the families in one village in Africa.  I could never thank you enough.  This year, my sister Abby and I are double-teaming to try and raise even more money for our birthdays (Abby's is on November 5th and mine is November 13) in order to provide help to those in need.  Our goal is to raise $1,000 for Amazima, which supplies food, clothes, and other much needed things to people in Uganda.  This organization was founded by Katie Davis, who now lives in Uganda.  She is constantly loving  children and mothers of this region; she has shown many hearts the way to Jesus just by loving them.  We want to give money to support Katie and her cause because she has connected with people so different from herself, and she has loved them UNCONDITIONALLY.  If we could all do that, we would be fulling God's call for the Great Commission.  The world would change completely. So this year, Abby and I sincerely ask you to help us change the world - this time with double the birthday wishes.
