Cia Everdeen Bio

My name is Cai Everdeen, short for Kyler. I am a teenager, and I am part of the TEAM online Bible Group. I have 2 guinea pigs and a bird. Other pets, too. But those are my favorites. I love to read, write, and color. My favorite book is the Michael Vey book series, and A Soldier’s Promise by Laura Scott. I am a servant of the Lord. My favorite pop/soda is Dr Pepper. I love Jeeps and cars. I enjoy listening to music labeled “emo music,” such as, Twenty One Pilots, Paramore, etc. I am excited to finally post to this blog, and can’t believe our group has come so far.

I had a previous app that allowed you to do that with a limit. You had to pay for...

2020 Vision

Adventures in Odyssey showed a calendar for the coming year- 2020. This year is special to me because of a major milestone in my life. But is that all I want to remember in the coming years? Is that the only change I want to experience? I want a vision- a goal that I can focus on- to prepare me in the following year to come. I want my goal to have three parts: something that has to do with God's Word, something that has to do with my character, and/or something that has to do with my relationships. For example, I could say something like, "My vision is to read my Bible,  keep a positive attitude even when life seems hard, and to pray more often." While I believe all three of those are good goals to include in a 'vision' but I think it should be more specific: "My vision is to ...
