The Little Mermaid is my favorite movie. I hope someday I can sing like you and with you. My name is Kelsie. I am 12 years old. I want to be as excited about the Word of God as you are. You are the greatest and if I never meet you on earth, I know I will in Heaven. God Bless, Kelsie Dear Jodi,

For all you people out there who want a career in entertainment but have not yet found the Lord in your lives, Jodi is completely right, you should get to know Jesus before making any commitments, because it will be hard, but you know what? God will be there for you in the very end, and will help you through even the hardest of times. My favourite verses are from Colosians 3, verses 1-4 "(1)You have been raised to life with Christ, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on His throne, on the right-hand side of God. (2)Keep your mind fixed on things there, not on things here on Earth. (3)For you have been raised to life with Christ in God. (4)Your real life is in Christ and when He appears, you to will appear with Him and share His glory." And that glory that we will all share, it's so much more than fame, so much more than fortune, it is the glory of the Father, who made all things, and through his will, simply are. And if God can create all things, then you should put your trust in Him. 2 Corinthians 4, Verse 16 "For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, yet our spiritual being is renewed day after day." Thank you for reading this little rant I had and may God bless you and your family.
