I was trembling with excitement when my name popped up on the screen in bold print. “Meet Maddie McKinney”, the screen projected “8-24-14”. It was going to be a day never to be forgotten.
It all started with my friend Merdith being baptized . At our church , they play a video to introduce people. Merdiths video was unbelievable marvelous . She is a big inspiration to me.
Now it was time for me to be baptized. I got out of my seat and stood right beside my pasture , and the video began. “Meet Maddie Mckinney ” the screen projected “8-24-14″. Some parts were very embarrassing, but some were just priceless!
After that David said ” do you Maddie take Jesus Christ to be your very own lord and savior”, “I do”, I said with a fast response. “well upon that profession of faith I now pronounce you as my sister in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Now I know absolutely this was going to be a day never to be forgotten . I will always keep in my heart ” I can do all things through Christ whom give me strength,” Philippians 4:13.

The three things that I would like to remember the most about 2013 . First I went to church camp and that’s were I grew my relationship with god a also I met some of my best friends there. I went with White Oak Community Church. We went to piney woods camp and it was really fun they had a pool well it was more of a water park than a pool, they also had a lake you could go canoeing in, and a place you could play doge ball and human fuse ball the also hand a place were you could play tug-of-war in the mud,slip-n-slide, play a game were you get a wet sponge and put it over one person and under the next and so on then the first person goes to the back of the line and brings the sponge (with little water still left in it) to the bucket and the first team to fill their bucket up won . But to be honest it really changed my life.
My second thing is when I moved to White Oak to go to school. I started to move the Christmas break before when my sister did but it was so sudden I wanted to start when we went back to school. So come to when it was time to come back to school i was really nervous because I only know the people that I went to church camp and the people that didn’t go to church camp with that go to church. When i went to the first day of school I was practically terrified. I was nervous that I wouldn’t know any of the people in my class and I was going to be lonely for the rest of the school and actually one of my friends from church camp and she helped me with the teachers and were every thing is and she helped me learn everybody’s name. So after like a month I had a lot of friends and I was having a lot of fun. I really love going to school in White Oak.
Last but not least I went to Colorado to snow ski. It was really fun ,but the first day on the first trail we lost my cosine turns out when I fell and my dad came down to help me when she went on the wrong trail and, she started to freak OUT and then like a personal trainer found her and helped her get to the bottom to find us, and the second tine we went up(with my cosine this time) I almost got a concussion because I was still a little rusty (because I hadn’t been sense I was six ) and I fell tumbled down a hill, lost my skies, poles almost fell of the cliff , and then landed on a big patch of ice . But other than all the chose I got to spent my christmas break with my family and friends and in the frizzing cold. When we got dun skiing we would some times swim or get in the hot tub and at the end of the day we would all get to gather and eat dinner. On our way up there my cosine hadn’t flown in like 7 years so she was really nervous about it. She was so nervous that she past out for like 4 seconds it wasn’t that long but it was scary and when we landed she screamed when the plain touched the ground. Don’t even get me started on when we were coming home she almost peed in her pants because she was scared that the plain was going to crash and she was going to die del really she had a fear of that the whole time we were flying . But we really had fun because we got to spend the whole time with our family like to go eat,to swim , to go shopping , and a lot of other fun stuff .
But there is also a lot of things that I want to do in 2014 like for example I want to read the whole series of the Nicholas Sparks books. I want to learn how to write my name in chinese . I also want to stop watching as much T.V. as I use to. A the most important part is that 2014 is going to ROCK!
