For the Facebookers

I asked my Facebook friends for brainstorming ideas on my next blog topic and decided to fufill all of their requests, so here you go.

Oh, Dad…

First off my Dad, Ken, said this: “Yes, write one on how to keep your room clean!” — If you’ve ever met me, you understand that keeping a clean room is something I’ve never mastered. Funny, Dad, funny.

“A Day In the Life of a Mullis” for Natasha, who responded “Yes. Life as a Mullis. Describe your day.” Here you go, Tasha.

Wake up! This is usually around 8 am or so.
(sometimes my mommy has to kick me out of bed–im not a morning person). If it is a Tuesday or Friday I wake up at 5 am (by myself.) to go to a prayer meeting with my friends before school.

Breakfast.

School. Fun stuff like Chemistry, American History, blah blah blah… (this is soon to change because of summer! praise Jesus).

Lunch. I usually make lunch for my family. Sometimes my sister Tessa does it and sometimes my mom, but many times I make lunch.

Clean up. Everyone helps.

More school. Whoo!

Work. On a few days a week I will head over to. The Mill Bakery and Cafe for work after school.

Supper. Usually my mom makes supper and we help clean up.

Then we piddle around until bed time.

Living in a family of 9 is anything but average, but we really live an average homeschool life. It’s pretty boring.

Now, Carol Korakas responded with this one: “Topic: How God is calling me to step out…and face my fears in the midst of difficult things…for Him.” Very good one. Here you are Carol:

Well…I know exactly what Carol was talking about. Last Sunday I helped my Mom lead worship at PWAC. This is no small feat. I’m scared to death of, well, singing and playing in front of people. And I did it! My Mom has been asking me to do this for months and we have gotten in all out arguements about why I’m not comfortable with this and how I just didn’t want to! BUT–that all changed when I read the book I’ve been talking about recently “Do Hard Things” by Alex and Brett Harris (I highly reccomend it). The book challenged me to do things that I find difficult for Jesus. Does this mean that I suddenly enjoy worship leading for crowds? Nope. But I conquored something that I was quite afraid of and I’m glad I did it. So that is one way that God has been calling me to come out of my shell a bit.

The next one was from Carol Korakas too: “What I want to be when I finish growing up”

Well. I don’t want to grow up.  Just kidding. I have been asking myself this question since I was old enough to think. I’m not sure why I have always had such a fascination with the future, but I have been aspiring to be a grown up for as long as I can remember…now that I’m on the brink of adulthood it’s not as appealing, but I still can’t wait to see what the future holds. To answer the question plainly: I don’t know. As I grow older I’m seeing a clearer picture of things I’m interested in and the direction I may be going. First off, as silly as it may seem to you, I feel called to blogging. I’m not so great at it and haven’t done a whole lot of it, but I feel like God wants me to be a voice in the blog world and I plan to do it. Secondly I have always been very passionate about political issues such as abortion. I definitely feel as though I will be involved in politics. I know it’s geeky, but I can’t really think of anything more exciting than campaigning with a godly candidate. Government, politics, law, journalism, blogging, and Jesus…all things I can see myself getting into. [I reserve the right to change my mind, as I have been switching interests once a week since I was 7 years old ].

Monica Smith said: ” School’s (almost) Out For Summer!  ”
Yes it is! I’m so glad. This summer means Jesus Culture in Atlanta, Camp Living Waters, and making up Chemistry that I didn’t finish this year (not so much looking forward to that…).

There you are Facebook friends!

Peace & Love,
Kalyn
