Masquerade: December 2011
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
December 25, 2011. Here's what makes me angry more than anything: Christians often put so much effort into non-Christians that they often neglect their very own brothers and sisters in Christ. Now hear me out, it's so awesome to see people being the hands and feet of Jesus! That's exactly what we're called to do, and it encourages me SO much to see people accept Jesus into their lives! I love seeing God work! Our job is done! Now go fend for yourselves! You know what guys? I love you, family. Then I woke...

Masquerade: September 2011
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
September 28, 2011. There has been such a huge change in me in the past year, it's unbelievable! I've even had people I barely ever talk to say that they notice something different about me. And I love it! I used to be the most self conscious person ever. Sometimes, I hardly even recognize myself. I used to not even be able to tell the teacher that he missed giving me the worksheet because I was too scared. That was last year! On my binder draws attention. It's awesome! My entire life. Girls always s...

Masquerade: May 2012
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
May 10, 2012. I think that many of my days lately have started out with the thought, "God, you are absolutely insane! But that's obviously why I love him :). God is crazy. Absolutely insane! The thing that I hate about sexual abuse in general is that God created sex as a good thing. A really good thing! It's where two married people would become one, glorifying God, and be intimate. But go figure, Satan uses God's gifts and twists them to hurt and disgrace people. And the majority of the answers were a v...

Masquerade: July 2012
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
July 28, 2012. Out Of This World. As you've probably already figured out, I'm back at camp for the summer. For those of you who don't know, I've worked at a bible camp for the past 2 summers and am now back for my third. And I'm loving it! God's doing such cool things here, you cannot even imagine! I'm actually just so pumped to tell you guys about it. My smile is from him, and it's to bring him glory. I want to tell you guys about week 2. Ha, oh week 2! We were so excited! The campers were so pumped.

Masquerade: October 2011
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
October 21, 2011. I find Jesus himself just so amazing. I love reading the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) because you see. How Jesus acted, who he is, how he treats people, his morals. Jesus says that you can't see God, but he is exactly like him. How privileged, how blessed are we that we get to see right into the Father's heart? That we, as humans, got to experience his tangible love? We got to see our Lord with our own eyes! I've wondered that countless times. Or rather, not why he puts. It to ha...

Masquerade: Dear Camp Family
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2012/08/dear-camp-family.html
August 30, 2012. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world.". Dear Camp Family,. I cannot even explain to you how much you mean to me! Your amazingly wonderful faces that Facebook cannot do justice. I'm going to miss your hugs, and feeling your love around me all the time. I'm going to miss opening up encouragement notes that make me smile, cry, or laugh to the point of tears. I'm going to miss writing you guys encouragement notes! And that makes me excited. We were all together for 2 out of 12 mo...

Masquerade: February 2012
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
February 23, 2012. I have been humbled. Last week was just the worst week for me. Have felt that feeling like you're pushed under water, and then you finally get up and breathe, but then you just get pushed back under again? Like you're drowning, and when you finally get that joyous breath of air again, you think everything will be okay, you feel alive! That's what my week has been like. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Because of His Love and Faithfulness. Peace, Love and Offbeats.

Masquerade: June 2012
http://ariel-masquerade.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
June 17, 2012. I cannot stand it when adults say to teenagers, "You don't have any problems yet, just you wait." Or, "Oh, being a teenager isn't that bad. It gets worse once you get older." Or, my personal favorite *eye roll*, "You don't even know what stress is yet." Being a teenager may be one of the most difficult points in your life. Do I know from experience? Or the teenager who was raped and now has to try to heal from the damage that was done without letting on to anyone that anything is wrong?
