In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

It's amazing what all God has created. We should thank God for all of it each and every day. He has created things as little as a butterfly to as big as the universe. Before you go to bed at night, you can thank God for all that he has done for you and thank him for being at your side helping you throughout the day. Pray that he will be with you for the days to come.

Make time for God.

The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
Isaiah 50:4
When you pray to God, do you do it just to do it, you try to squeeze him in to your already busy schedule, or do you actually spend more time with him and remind yourself of God's love? You can be closer to God just by spending each morning with him to align your priorities for the day. Anything you need help with, God can help you. Ask for it many times each day by starting with you morning prayer. When you do it, it will change your life. God deserves more than that, but it is better than nothing. You have to start some where. Then you can grow from that.

"We all need to make time for God. Even Jesus made time to be alone with God."
Kay Arthur
"Morning praise will make your days."
Old Saying
"The world is full of noise. Let us learn the art of silence, stillness, and solitude."
Elisabeth Elliot
The world is always calling your name, but it is up to you to make time for God.

Worry Stone

Have you ever heard of a worry stone? Well, now you can say you have. I have one. It is like a clear stone with an angel inside. If I remember correctly, you give all of you worries to the angel. Whenever I pray, I hold the stone in between my hands. I got the stone from one of my mom's friends on the day of my baptism. It is really special to me. It is a good reminder that you can always go to God for help 24/7.

Jenny the Peanut

Who would have thought that a peanut could have such a great life? You know, compared to being broken in half then eaten. Well, thankfully Jenny has a great life. She went from a nice childhood in Great Britain to a rockin career in L.A. Want to know how Jenny came to be? I hope you do, because I am about to tell you about Jenny the peanut’s Past, Present ,and Future.
When Jenny was a small peanut. She went to school in a small community. She was very happy here. She got good grades and was very well behaved. She did not want to go anywhere else. When it came time to choose a Jr. High. She chose Peanut Jr. High. What a great choice! There she succeeded in everything that she did.
Today Jenny is attending college at TCU. Go Horned Frogs! Jenny majors in science and theatre. She also made the basketball team and is leading them to victory. Jenny is also doing great in theatre. She plans to perform in the school play.
Jenny has many job options for the future. But jenny really sees herself as a music artist. A great one too. She believes that she can get #1 record in the country. Jenny also wants to perform with Hannah Nutanna. They will perform at the American Nutlines Center. Jenny then plans to move to L.A. where she will live for the rest of her life.
Speaking of life, Jenny had a great one. Then I ate her because I was hungry. Mmmmm. She went from hanging on a peanut tree to inside my stomach. That was Jenny the peanut’s Past, Present, and Future. I hope you enjoyed!

Twilight

I am like a huge Twilight fanatic. I love the whole sereirs. I have read all of the books twice. Which is nothing compared to some of you out there. I got the 3 DISC DELUX EDITION of the movie!!!!! I have watched it so many times, I may have the whole movie memorized. One day my friend and I got up watched the movie. When it was over we wathched it again. That is what we did for the entire day. Then when her mom came to pick her up, she weas depressed. Now when she comes over she is not alloud to watch it. Its crazy!!!! OME!!!!!
Did you know that there are twilight watches, puzzles, and sweet hearts? Don't even get me started on the Edward action figure. Let me get one thing clear: I do not have any of that and do not plan on getting any of it. All of that is allittle over the top for me. I got the magnets and the HUGE poster, thats good enough.

BE HAPPY!!












ALWAYS!!
This picture really makes me happy. Don't know why it just does. =)
I own four turtles. It's crazy. Their not the smallest turtles around either. But I love them. Their names are: Samantha, Scraper, Dicken, and Ben.
One word "Orange"!!!!!

I have never liked oranges. I don't know why. I am just weird like that. My mom told me the other day that my favorite color is orange because my dad's is red and my mom's is yellow. Mix them together you get orange. Apparently I told her that along time ago.


I thought this was funny!



"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"
John 3:16





Help!!

I think it is time for a new background. If you know a website where I can get one PLEASE let me know!!

HAA HAA HAA!!!!!!

Guess What??!!! I learned how to spell LAUGH! L-A-U-G-H! I am so proud of myself. If you haven't noticed already, I am a very bad speller.
In speech we had to write a How to Speech. As in, how to make or do something. Wow, a speech in speech! Just kidding. I did mine on how to make salsa. Another kid did theirs on how to perform a wheely on a wheel chair. I thought it was pretty cool. If your ever in the mood to make some Salsa, read this and explore the wonderfu world of salsa making!


How to make Salsa!
The salsa I am going to make my dad has been making for years. He even makes it when he got jalapeño juice squirted in his eye and got cut by the Quick Chopper blade. I have not done any of that yet and hope that it does not happen any time soon. When someone gets jalapeño juice in their eye, it is not pretty. Now I am going to list the steps and instructions how to make salsa. (P.S. A Quick Chopper is the mixer thing I used to mix and chop all of the ingredients together.)
The first step in making salsa is to get everything you need. First, I got my Quick Chopper out and ready to go. Next, you need to wash your hands, because otherwise that would just be gross. Then you need to get out all of your ingredients. The ingredients include one jalapeño, two cloves of garlic, and a onion. Don’t forget two medium size ripe tomatoes or a can of tomatoes. Which ever works best for you. I am using the can of tomatoes. You need lemon juice, garlic salt, and two sprigs cilantro. Also get a tablespoon and teaspoon for measuring purposes. You may also need a bowl. Lastly, you have to have a bag of tortilla chips.
Your second step in making salsa is to cut one fourth off of your onion because that is plenty. Next, if your using fresh tomatoes, quarter them. If not, open the can of tomatoes and use three of the tomatoes inside. Take four sprigs of cilantro, two cloves of garlic, and throw that with everything else into the Quick Chopper. Measure one teaspoon of garlic salt and two teaspoon of lemon juice. Dump those into the Quick Chopper. Now for the Jalapeño. Put in one third for mild salsa, two thirds for medium, and all of it for hot and spicy salsa. I put in the whole thing.
Now that you have all of the ingredients in, you can now mix. Mix to consistency desired. Mix more quickly for finer cuts. When your done mixing, pour into a bowl. Then grab a tortilla chip. Lastly and finally, you can take the taste test. (And hope that it tastes gooood!)
Now that I have taught you how to make salsa, I hope you enjoy. I also tried to make it very spicy. (P.S. Did you know that the seeds inside of a jalapeño are the hottest part of it?)
Sorry if it was alittle confusing.
