Hi, readers! I’m 13! I can’t believe I’ve been blogging ever since I was eleven. So much has happened to me since then. I’ve lived in a third world country for 6 months, survived 6th grade, (phew!!) and now, I am almost done with 7th grade. It is really hard for me to wrap...

A Collection of Thoughts
I was sitting in my dining room re-reading the posts I have written in the past and reflecting on them. Reading them made me wonder, “What happened to that girl?” What happened to the girl who was never afraid to be who she was supposed to be and follow her call from God? What...
How He Loves
This past week, Monday through Thursday, I went with my school to Arizona. By the way, this is my first post since we returned to the US about two months ago. Nothing in my life has really been “blog worthy” until now. This wasn’t just a camp where we learned about nature and went...
So what now?
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who’s thinking this. I know some of Throwing Starfish’s readers are wondering, “So what now?” Believe it or not, but some people checked our blog every day. The truth is I don’t know what’s next. Ever since I got back, I’ve been wondering the same thing....
Goodbye, Uganda
I can’t believe I already have to say goodbye. It seems like just yesterday I was boarding a plane to come here. The good thing is that I feel like I’ve accomplished what I personally came here to do: #1-Make a difference in someone’s life. #2-Strengthen my relationship with God. #3-See the beautiful things...
It’s what the Lord has done in me
Let the weak say I am strong Let the poor say I am rich Let the blind say I can see It’s what the Lord has done in me I’ve been thinking about what the Lord has done in me while I’ve been here. In four days, I’m going home. But is it really...
How Great Thou Art! Part 2-3
My second and third “How Great Thou Art” moments happened in the same weekend. We went on safari with the Brown family at Paraa Safari Lodge. On our first night there, we went on our first ever game drive. WOW! How Great Thou Art! I was overwhelmed by all of the beautiful animals that...
How Great Thou Art!
The beginning of the old hymn, How Great Thou Art, is very special to me. It reminds me how great the Lord is and of all the wonderful things he has made. Below are the lyrics. O, Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made, I...
Soaring on “Wings like Eagles”
I don’t know how many of you have heard of or read Bob Goff’s book, Love Does, but you seriously should. I haven’t had the pleasure of doing so, but I hope to soon. Bob is an amazing guy, and just listening to him is REALLY interesting. A whole book about him? Now THAT’S...
Give it up!
Hello again, readers. I know I haven’t posted in a while; not since I was eleven. Oh, ya. I had a birthday! I’ve been twelve for almost a month, actually. Anyway, today I want to share something really important with you. And that’s the idea of giving generously. 2 Corinthians 8:2 says: Out of...
