My Movies... High School Musical

Almost everyone out there reading this knows about HSM (High School Musical)And almost everyone out there enjoyed it. So here is my movie review on HSM.

In this story a girl named Gabriella Montez(Vennessa Ann Hugens) and a boy named Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) meet at a new years eve party at a vacation lodge. Troy is a basket ball boy and Gabriella is a school genius girl. They are picked to sing together and end up cranking up the party when they find the voices they never had. Then when Troy goes back to New Mexico for school and thinks that he has seen the last of his beautiful singing partner, he meets her again in his homeroom class. He calls her on her cell phone and get himself and her in BIG trouble with their teacher Ms. Darbus. Troy, Gabriella, Troy's BF Chad, Ryan and Sharpay Evens and Taylor another smart girl at east high school all get detention for different reasons. After that Troy shows Gabriella around the school and Sharpay gets jealous. Later Troy secretly goes to the auditions for the spring musical to just see what it is like. Gabriella also goes there just to watch. Then the pianist, Kelsi trips and falls after everyone leaves, and feeling sorry for her, the two go help pick up her music sheets. She asks them if they would like to hear how the duet is sapposed to sound and they start singing. Ms. Darbus sneaks back in while their singing, and ends up tells them they have a call back and Sharpay goes crazy! She tells Ms. Darbus that she needs to change the call backs to the same day as Troy's big basket ball game and the same day as the Scolastic dicatholon. She says it would be better for everyone. Ms Darbus gives in and now, Troy and Gabriella go crazy! How will they ever get do all the things they need to do if they are all on the same day at the same time?! Watch the movie and find out! This movie is rated G and I rate it AA for all ages

My thoughts: Famous Failures...

Okay SOOO sorry this took forever to get on here, I've been busy all week trying to pack for our Disney trip.
Watch this video quick, it's only 1 minute and 39 seconds. Then, scroll down for some of my thoughts on what I took from this video...

*


Okay, now that you've watched the video, I'm (hopefully!) not going to bore you to death.

First off, what this video says at the end is true. And I think that it definatly proves a point. If you've never failed... you've never lived. Well some of you may be thinking "I haven't failed, yet I'm a living-human-being!" But that's not what this video means, not breathing living, going out into the world and showing people your colors! If you're afraid to fail, then you will most likely never try anything new. Now, a few people who know me... might be thinking "she shouldn't be talking" and I shouldn't really. For the past years in my life, I've honestly been afraid to try almost anything I haven't already. No roller costers, no away or day camps, no talking to people I don't know, answering questions asked about God and/or school work... stuff like this. But... this past year (2009) I've come out of my shell a lot I think personally. I went on a mission trip, I went to zoo camp, on my mission trip, I talked with people that back home I wouldn't have even come close too! Now, I've talked and told people about my faith, and got 30 out of 33 on my science test! And now on my vacation to WDW... I am going to brave the rollar costers! I promise to tell you guys all about them too. :D
But this is getting off topic. So let's swerve back...
I was afraid of failures and regections. So, instead of taking the chance of getting hurt... I ignored the entire events! I missed out on soo much! I only wished I wouldn't have been afraid of failure and lived sooner. But, past is the past, and now that I've started to over come these fears, I've enjoyed life so much more!

Here is some stuff on the video.

Lucille Ball: One of the best actresses of all time! She was told that she was too shy, and wasn't going anywhere... but she didn't give up. She wasn't afraid to fail, and look where it got her. Don't be afraid.

Michael Jordan: Uh hello? Almost everyone knows this name belongs to one of the best basket ball players of all time! But yet he was told in high school that he wasn't good enough and was cut from the basket ball team. He locked himself in his bedroom and cried! But, he didn't give up... he went back out there and tried his best, yes... he might fail, but he wasn't afraid. And look where it got him? Do not be afraid to fail... no matter where you are in life. (Expecially High school and Middle school)

Walt Disney: Okay, this one was almost too hard to believe! Honestly? Walt Disney... told he wasn't creative or original?! And had NO imagination?!?!?!?! Hello? the man created things that no one thought was possible! If you were told this, wouldn't you give up? I probably would, but Walt didn't. He didn't care about failure... he knew that it might come, but he was willing to try his best. And look where he ended up, wouldn't you have liked to meet the person who told Walt that he didn't have any imagination? I would have! AFTER of course, Walt Disney World became a fanatic. Don't be afraid to go after your dreams, don't be afraid to fail.

If you haven't failed, you've never lived. Do you think these three amazing people would agree with this statement? I do. Now, let's see what the bible says about failure...

*1 Thessalonians 2:1-3
You know, brothers, that our visit to you was not a failure. We had previously suffered and been insulted in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in spite of strong opposition. For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.

Here, Paul is speaking to a group of people, telling them that stuff that you've done, that might be seen as a failure to others, God can turn into sucsess. I'd say that God did this with all three people we've metioned above, and the others in the video. Why don't you just right now... sit there and pray. Ask God to help you not be afraid to fail, and to live for him. Don't be afraid to fail when serving God... go full out, and God will use you in amazing ways.

That's all for today, sorry again that it took so long to get this post on here!

My Thoughts.......On youth mission trips

As many of you know, I've gone on two youth mission trips with my church youth group. They are amazing, not only do you get to serve others, you get to worship the Lord, be surrounded by other people who love God just like you, and you get to become really close with all of your friends.
This past mission trip nine of us youth went, and three adults. One being my youth Pastor, the others being one of my guy friends parents (His mom being my small group leader).
The car rides are probably my favorite part of the mission trips. It was about a six hour drive from our church parking lot, to the church where we'd all be stayin' for the next week. :D (here comes a funny part) We had all our luggage in the back of our twelve passenger van, it came up to just about the same height as the back seat. And apparently to the guys in our group, it was very comfortable. We took mostly back roads, and some county roads, but they were never very busy. When we were on these roads, our youth pastor would let us un buckle and then the guys of course, would all cram into the back and all us girls (Five of us, four guys) would cram into the back seat, rear facing.
We sit and talk for hours on end and the conversations will always be on my mind. We're all really close now, it's amazing what a simple car ride, and a simple five day mission trip will do to you. We'd work from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon. Serving others is so amazing, and when you get to do it along side of your close friends, it's fun! You joke around, get dirty and just have a blast with each other. You meet new people and make friendships that will last a life time.
So let's see, for one week out of your summer you sign up for a mission trip. What will you probably be doing is laughing and having a great time with friends, worshiping God in a place that is so amazingly perfect, getting to meet new friends. Is that so bad? NO! It's amazing! (I use this word a lot) So, I definatly say to all my readers out there, take just one week... one week off of your summer vacation and spend it serving God, I can promise you, you will have fun.
So, that's all for this week, come back next week for the topic, My Thoughts.......On The video, LIFE=RISK
