Intro To The BSB

Hi! If you haven't already read the "About Me" part of my blog, I just turned 16 this past April and I've been a christian since I was 5. I was born in Burbank California in 1994 and lived in North Hollywood for 2 years, then came along one of my younger sisters, Kirsten, in May of 1996. two days later, we moved to another part of Los Angeles. Seven years later, and two more sisters, Stephanie(1998) and Tiffany(2000), and we moved again to my current home in Sacramento, California in 2003. Changing cities means changing churches. So we started attending a church(lets just call it "Jesus Church" for now.) I made a bunch of friends and got really connected. But "Jesus Church" wasn't all it was cracked up to be. After a move from the original building into a much smaller one fifteen miles away and a change of name, most of the people realized that some un-healthy stuff was going on behind the scenes and split from "Jesus Church" and all went their seperate ways. My family soon did the same. Changing churched was difficult for a famly of six with four girls (ages from seven to thrteen.) Not that new friends were hard to make for us (everytme we went to the grocery store, there was always a little girl or two making friends with my little sisters and I) it's just that...well, being up-rooted from a place you and your friends pretty much grew up in isn't the easiest to do. The first few weeks were relly hard on me. It showed on my face. Well at least that's what one of my friends said when I was tying to recall our first meeting. Apparently I was picking up Steph and Tiff from Sunday school and Jaimie (my friend) was the person signing them out. And she told me that I looked bummed out. But since then, we have really clicked in with our lives at our new church. I had it on my heart to create this blog. I hope you enjoy it, and I pray this blog inhances your walk with God!
