CHRISTmas is almost here!

Hey everyone! Guess what! CHRISTmas is 4 days away!!!!!! I cant wait to get together with family i dont see all the time and open gifts and just hangout with eachother and talk talk talk all day/night BUT most of all Sitting together listening to the Chrsitmas story that we read every year.... And all though we read it every year it seems theres more to it year after year... and listening to the different ones.... Like from Luke, Matthew, And other books... Ones more in death then the other and its amazing to listen to a different indeath one every year:)!

So this year, if its not a family tradition then ask someone to read the Christmas story this year...:)

MERRY CHRISRTMAS!

Youth Pastor

Hey everyone:) I don't know if any of yall out there lost a Youth Pastor; as in they having to leave to go where the Lord told them to go.... Well, our church is losing our Youth Pastor; leaving before the end of the month. The Lord told him its time to go and so they are obeying and heading for to another state... But the hard thing for me to look forward to is IF our Youth is going to break apart again... Me saying that is hard but true... Before this Youth Pastor we had another one that the Lord told to go to else where like now.... At that time we had a big youth and when that Youth Pastor left the Youth left.... And now we don't a big Youth like we did but we have a Youth group that is close to each other and close to the Lord. And all though we are close to our Youth Pastor like most are he did teach us many things in the three years he has been here and one of them was that we cant believe that our connection to the Lord is through the Youth Pastor! Which is very true! So that being true and I truly believe that our Youth understands that, then our Youth wont break apart and stay close to each other AND the Lord. And I know Because I will be; it is going to be a sad time when he leaves but we will help each other with the sadness and be there when one needs a shoulder to lean on... But as one of my friends said "If its going to be hard to say Goodbye, Then DON'T say see you later" And that is very true because he will be around and it isn't like his is leaving the country... just going to a different state... And who knows he may come back to our church one day and stay there forever... but who knows?

We had great times with our Youth Pastor and we will always remember them but sometimes people have to go where the Lord tells them to.... And hes going where the Lord told him to.... And we have his number so we can call him and/or text him.... So it isn't goodbye, its see you later:)

The reason For the Season....

I am a very strong believer in Jesus Christ.... My Lord and Savior.... And when I think about it this Christmas season I will more then likely be hearing, seeing, and reading in text messages this: Merry X-mas.......... ALOT! But do you know what merry X-mas looks like to me??? It looks like Christmas With a big X over CHRIST! Taking CHRIST out of Christmas and the reason for the season! And the people that do say, type, or text to people that make me believe that they are taking CHRIST out of Christmas and don't believe in Jesus Christ..... But X-mas is not they reason for the season! The reason for the season is that CHRIST the SAVIOR was born on Christmas Day! And we should celebrate that! And not be all greedy about getting gifts and hoping "Santa" will bring us alot of gifts! But we should think of others and give to them because Jesus Christ gave to us.... So if your one that believes in Christ Jesus then don't say, type, or text merry X-mas or happy holidays or anything else.... BUT SAY HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS instead.... And correct the ones that send, say or text to you merry X-mas... NO matter who it is! I WILL BE DOING THE SAME AND IF THEY GET MAD THEY GET MAD BUT I WILL KNOW THAT I DID A GOOD THING AND TELLING THEM THAT ITS NOT X-mas, ITS CHRISTmas!

A fwd. email I got and I think it makes very good since... Even though some may not belive in Santa I belive it is a very good comparison....

With 2 weeks before Christmas REMEMBER:
Jesus is Better than Santa

Santa lives at the North Pole.
JESUS is everywhere.

Santa rides in a sleigh
JESUS rides on the wind and walks on the water.

Santa comes but once a year
JESUS is an ever present help.

Santa fills your stockings with goodies
JESUS supplies all your needs.

Santa comes down your chimney uninvited
JESUS stands at your door and knocks.. And then enters your heart.

You have to stand in line to see Santa
JESUS is as close as the mention of His name.

Santa lets you sit on his lap
JESUS lets you rest in His arms.

Santa doesn't know your name, all he can say is "Hi little boy or girl, What's your name?"
JESUS knew our name before we did. Not only does He know our name, He knows our address too. He knows our history and future and He even knows how many hairs are on our heads.

Santa has a belly like a bowl full of jelly
JESUS has a heart full of love.

All Santa can offer is HO HO HO
JESUS offers health, help and hope.

Santa says "You better not cry"
JESUS says "Cast all your cares on me for I care for you.

Santa's little helpers make toys
JESUS makes new life, mends wounded hearts, repairs broken homes and builds mansions.

Santa may make you chuckle but
JESUS gives you joy that is your strength.

While Santa puts gifts under your tree
JESUS became our gift and died on the tree.

It's obvious there is really no comparison.

We need to remember WHO Christmas is all about.

We need to put Christ back in Christmas.

Jesus is still the reason for the season.

May the Lord Bless and Watch over you and your loved ones this Christmas 2008

And may He prosper and bless the work of your hands in the New Year.

Softball update!!!!!!!!!!!:)

Wow, Softball is going great!

A week or so after my black eye my sister busted her head open on the bleachers at the softball park! She didn't have to get stitches or anything they just glued her head back! Lol! But she is doing fine and my black eye is gone! AND my softball team is UNDEFEATED! Its awesome! I have scored 5 or 6 times out of 4 or 5 games! The pitchers must be scared! They keep walking me and many others! I guess they think if they throw a strike that we would hit it and get a home run! Lol Jk! But its funnnnn!

Softball!!!!:)

As most of you know i started softball. Well Last Tuesday I got a black eye at softball! I don't know what I was doing or thinking about but it missed my glove and hit me in the eye! hahahahaha take a look!

I went to a VBS at my grandmothers church and the them was "Power Lab". I had a great time seeing people I haven't seen in for ever and people I just meet. But they were great people. And anyways these are songs that were played there and the were great songs and I loved them.

Friends

Do you have some really great friends???? And then who is just a friend???? Well I have some of both!!!!! Hahaha. Maybe you do to! But mostly my friends are really great friends!!!! I would have to say that my only just friends are from school. The rest I can basically say that usually I can go to and talk to them about anything almost. And they are mainly from church.

And don't you hate it when you get in a fight with one of your bestest friends and you don't know how or why it started????!!!!!! I do and that happen to me and I truly don't know why or how it all got started. And it sucks trying to figure out why and how!!!! And then all you want is to talk to them but they act or don't want to talk to you, so you can figure it all out and see if it was just a misunderstanding!!!!

And then if you know why they are mad at you and you want to make up and say sorry but your friend don't want to hear it??? That happen to me sometime last year in school. I cant remember what it was about but it was something stupid {like usually something stupid}. Hahaha.

O And don't you hate it when you and the other person tells some of their friends whats going on and it turns into sides and this big argument! That happens more at school then anywhere else Because there is more attention at school then anywhere else! I think this only happens at school.

And then you get so sick of all bickering over whatever, you finally sit them down and talk to them! And then you make up and feel better and all that stress is off you and that friend and/or your other friends!!! Don't you wish that some of the stuff we as friends fight about, we don't fight about. But we do!!!

I just wish that friends wont fight as much as they/we do.

O and don't fight with friends just because! Because it could end up the friendship is lost or maybe losing more then one friend. And that could happen even if you aren't just fighting just because, so don't let it go to far or just don't fight!

And I hope none of yall out there lose any of your friends over a stupid fight because I don't want to lose a friend that way!!!

And if you want some advice email me and Ill help the best I can!!!!

Pets

Do you have your OWN pet???? Well I don't just two dogs and a cat that is the family's pets. But my brother and sister both have their OWN pet. My brother had fish but they all died and now he has a breaded dragon. And my sister, well she has two parakeets. Me...... nothing!
But I want a chinchilla! They are so cute!!! And my mom told me we would see! I bet that would be a yes later down the road! At least I hope! HAHAHAHA! So I'm hoping to get my OWN pet soon!

Sports

Have you ever had to quite a sport you don't want to? Well today was my last day in gymnastic. I didn't want to quit this year but I had to. But I'm allowed to try another sport. So I'm going to try softball. But it was hard to night because I have really close friends there. They aren't just my friends but my sisters. We all act like sisters and are close like sisters. And we all had nick-names mine was pooh bear and the others were: Piglet, Owl-Kanga, Eeyore, and Tiger. And my coach i thought as a sister too and her nick-name is Rabbit and/or Christopher Robin. But if they siblings that came around they were like my sisters to and I loved them too! But they didn't have pooh bear nick-names or nick-names for that fact. So it was really hard leaving them but I still can keep in touch with them. Which is good, o not good GREAT! And I hope to see them soon. They almost made me cry today when I left but they didn't. So I'm glad I can see and keep in touch with them. And hope maybe I can go back to gymnastic later maybe. I hope they don't miss me as much as I'm missing them and I hope they love me as much as I love them.
But I'm going to try out softball now and hope that works out.

This goes to my favorite gymnastic team of all times. Good luck this year in competitions and I love you guys allot. GO FOR THE GOLD!!!!:):):):):):)

SCHOOL!!!:)

I know about most of us has started school. I started today. But I'm not in public school, I am in home school! Most of you are probably thinking that must suck! Well when almost all of your friends are in public school it does! Because you are sitting around the house doing nothing and you wish you could just text your friends. Which I probably could but I don't want to be the one that texts them and they're phone not be on silent and get them in trouble for they're phone going off during class. So I'm sitting around the house for three hours waiting for public school to end.
But it was good for the 1st day, ever being home schooled!!!! Well, how was your 1st day of school.
Tomorrow I have additions for what chair I'm going to be this year for the flutes. We will see how that goes. I probably wont get the chair I want because I just recently got my flute fixed and layed eyes one the piece of music I'm going to have to play. But Ill let yall know how that goes.

HAVE FUN AT SCHOOL!!!!:)

My day at Carowinds!

Ok forget I ever said I don't like Carowinds! Boy it is fun when you are with your family! Even though I didn't get to ride two rides I wanted to try I had fun. The two rides I missed out on was the Carolina cyclone and the Vortex. I missed the Carolina cyclone because I let my aunt, uncle, mom, dad, sister, and cousin go on it while I watched my baby cousin that was a sleep at the time because it was about time to take a nap for her. And it was almost time to start heading out of the park. So they went on that while I watched the baby and then they went to an other ride while I took my other cousin to the restroom and to get a drink or something. And then when I came back I watched the baby until they got off the ride for the 5 time. Then my dad came back from the bridge with my brother and it was 10 minutes before the park was going to close. And I told him if he stoped nagging me I would ride the vortex with him. So we started heading over there and I wasn't feeling good so he told me to go sit down beside mom and said that I will go on it next year. So I said ok and went to go sit down. Then when he got off he said that was nothing. Earlier when we 1st got there he and my aunt and uncle rode the night hawk and he said since he rode that the vortex was like a kiddy ride! Haha hes funny. But I had a blast any ways! So next year when we 1st get there I am going to ride the vortex and the Carolina cyclone. And I'm looking forward to next year! :):):):)

One My Favorite Songs

Do you like Carowinds?

Do you like Carowinds? Not me at least not right now! And Ill tell you why.
April 12th, 2008 I went for the 1st time since I was like 5 and when you re 5 you ride the kiddy rides and cant ride the "fun" rides like the vortex or the night hawk. So April 12th I went to Carowinds with the band at my school to play at the concert there. All though I don't like Carowinds, that was good for the band! We got the highest we could get! And then we went for the rides and it was raining and freezing!!! What fun!! Anyways.... so.... I have never rode on an upside down ride and guess where we go 1st! The vortex! Not only an upside down ride but a standing up ride too! So the 1st ride ever riding at Carowinds is upside down and standing up. Anyways... We had 5 people in our group and we all were going to ride the ride together! But you cant always get what you want, huh? So I had to go by myself on a ride I have never rode before in my life and I had to go by myself! So, I went and I was scared out of my pants! I was standing there praying that was just a nightmare, but it wasn't! I didn't go on any other ride while we were there so I hung out with an other guy that was in my group. I will keep the name Anonymous but we had fun hanging out watching our friends ride rides. But I did go on one other ride just because everyone in my group went on it. And that ride was the Carolina Goldrush and it was okay. Then when I get home I tell my parents about it and my dad goes " You have rode that ride before!" And I'm like "when?" And hes like " When you were in mommy's belly!" And I said "that don't count!" But he want leave me alone about that! Dads!

Now why I'm I telling you this? Well I'm going back with my family and have to ride all the rides my dad rides! And that's going to be Monday we go back. so wish me luck!!! So Monday when I get home Ill tell you all about it here on my blog!

Who out there dosen't like those "Hello" voicemail?

Are you one of those people that doesn't like those "Hello" voicemail? Well I'm not I like them but now they don't get me! Hahaha, but its funny to listen to the voicemail or the person who calls and get the voicemail then leave a message! Hahaha!:-):-0Lol! Well I made one of those voicemail for the 1st time and my parents didn't know! So, one time my dad calls and I didn't hear it ring and he thought he got me and not the voicemail. Let me tell you it was the funniest thing ever!!!! He left a voicemail that had my crying on the floor because I was laughing so hard!!!!
At 1st my voicemail said..... "Hello?(pause)Hellooo?(pause)Is anyone there? Oh, yeah you might be but I'm not! So leave me a voicemail, talk to you later, bye!"
Then my dad calls......... And he doesn't know yet........... So he thought he got me but then realized it was voicemail.......... And he leaves.......... "You think your funny changing your voicemail. Huh? Well I don't like it, answer your phone girl!" You may not think its funny but it was the way he said it is what had me on the floor!
And then....... (here we go again)............ A few weeks ago I changed my voicemail............... So once again my parents don't know............... And this time it goes something like this..................
"Hello?(pause)Hey! What you doing?(pause)Same here! But guess what I will be doing!(pause) I will be listening to your voicemail as soon as I check it, so leave me a message. Talk to you later, bye!"
And this time I let my parents listen to it but I still got my dad! and he got me back I fell for his voicemail! Silly me!
Do you have any cool voicemail stories?

My Story

Some of you are probably wondering "she has a story she wants to tell us? What is it?"
Well yes I have a story I want to share with everyone. Everyone has a story, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! And I have one! And I want to share it with you.
It starts off with I was born in Delaware. We lived there for almost 4 years and then moved closer to faimly when my brother was born. We moved three other times and the third move was the charm. When we moved to the house we are living at now my sister was a few mounths old and we have lived in the same house since she was born. We went to church for a while with my grandparents when we lived with them, then when the third move came we stopped going to church fora few years. Things got really wrogh over those few years. Then finally we started looking for a church to attend. And then we found a church and be came members of the church and we still go there when the doors are open we go. But when I was a bout to ture 7, I said a prayer that was going to keep me from going to Hell. If I truely meant what i prayed. I knew that both my parents were Christains and that this was a big deal to them. So I said that prayer. For years people thought I was a true Christian, but the truth was , I wasnt. I partiapated in all the church activities that i could. Then at the begining of this year, January 28th, 2008 I truely accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saivor. And that same week 4 or 5 of my close friends accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior too! Prasie the Lord!!!! And I thank God for not giving up on us!!!! And He wont give up on you ethier!!
