Please Pray!

Hey, girls! So in case you see this in time, could y'all please pray for my Grammy? She's going "in" for breast cancer surgery... Could you please pray for the docter to be able to do the surgery safely and without incident? The surgery is at 9:00 am {only in about 20 minutes!}
If y'all don't see this in time, could you please pray for her safe recovery? Thank you!


Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.~Ephesians 6:18

*Sigh*

You know that friend from THIS post? Well, the relationship with her mom is now...okay...but she's, like, really depressed now, I'm thinking because of something that happened with her{now ex} boyfriend. :( 

She is really upset, and her parents are just adding insult to injury from what I can tell. :P

So, could you just..pray for her? Please?

Dec. Challenge

Hi everyone!!!
So...today is December 1st.


CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ?!?!?!??!?!?!?!
It sort of feels like it should still be August, you know?
****************************************************************
Anyway,  remember what I gave you a hint about yesterday?  And do you remember the October Challenge?
Yeah...it didn't go over welll...I mean, I had good intentions but..it just went down the drain...
But, I have a proposition for you!
The DECEMBER Challenge!!!!
So, before I tell you what exactly it is, let me give you a little back story.

BACK STORY:  ;)
So, I've been going to church, since I was a week old. I've been going to Sunday School since I as about 2. I've been a Christian since I was 4. And I've been an actual Christ follower since a couple years ago.
But you know what? I can only remember about 20, maybe 25, verses that I've been memorizing throughout my life. And, yes, that's bad. It's bad, since I've had the material {a Bible} around me just about all my life to be memorizing verses. It's bad, since I've been asking God why I hardly ever  know what to do when something hard happens. It's bad because just two days ago, I asked God to make me into someone that girls would look up to. Someone worthy of being His daughter. Yet I didn't know what to do to make that happen. {not that I can do that on my own, girlies. It's gonna be hard, but the only way it'll happen is if I let God. You know the phrase, Let Go. Let God.?} 
*****************************************************************
So, as y'all have probably gathered by now, my December Challenge is to memorize more Bible verses. 'Cause you know? I haven't memorized one since August. :P
I'm going to choose one Bible verse a day, {probably the night before, though} and I will memorize it.
I think I'll post the Bible verse that I'm working on every day. Do y'all want to join me? If you do, just leave a so I can pray for you in this. :)
So, the first Bible verse is:
1 John 3:16-
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our life for our brothers and sisters.

Look familiar? I just put it on the sidebar yesterday.... or the day before. {I have a bad memory when it comes to details like that!} You can tell what the next verses are going to be too, by just looking below that. :)

Okay, so, does that sound good? Now, could y'all pray for me in doing this? Memorizing things comes kinda hard to me!
Okay, have a good day, girlies!

Prayer Request

Hey girls! This is going to be a short post, but I hope you don't mind.
I have a prayer request for you.  A friend of mine-though I don't know her very well- needs ALOT of prayer. Her mom physically and verbally abuses her. I'm not really positive that she's a Christian, so, could y'all please pray that she finds Jesus and that her mother woud stop abusing her?
                                                       Thanks!

prayer is REALLY appreciated!

Hi, girls!!!! So, something really exciting is happening tomorrow, and I {and the rest of my family} need your prayers. :) It'll remain unspoken for right now, though.
 I'm really nervous about all this, but I know God's in charge. ;)
Good day, girlies!

on talking to one's self

I have a confession to make.
I talk to myself.
Yeah, that's right, I talk to myself.

Through my experience, I've learned a few things. Such as: It's not smart to talk to yourself while walking through Walmart. You can earn some weird stares that way...

So, I've decided to share my learned knowledge on this topic by informing you of areas and places that are and are not acceptable for talking to one's self.  :)

Acceptable places to talk to one's self:
~In your bedroom, while alone
~Alone in the kitchen, baking cookies {It makes for a happy baker, therefore, happy cookies}
~While driving a car, if you can drive {I find it funny watching people talk on their blue tooths while in the car, and if you do talk to yourself while driving, everyone will just think you're talking through a blue tooth. ;)}
~While trying on clothes {after all, it is best to get a second opinion, or at least voice your thoughts ;)}
~When writing a blog post :)

Unacceptable places to talk to one's self:
~At Bath and Body Works {or any other perfumy places}Because, whereas you may not like that scent, the lady next to you happens to own two...or ten....bottles of it and is now buying up the lotion of the same kind}
~As stated before, while walking through Walmart
~In another crowded place, like the dinner table with your family {unless you don't mind telling them that you think the spider, who is on the ceiling, should be name Edwardo}
~While raking leaves....but, then again, go ahead and do it {feel free to start singing as well...throw in some random dance moves!} It amuses the neighbors
~While in bed at 3:00am
~While praying. Seriously.
~While staring at your fresh out of the oven cookies

Yep, I advise you follow that, and you won't have people thinking you're weird. Of course, though, if you do decide to start talking and singing while raking the leaves, They'll know it for sure :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This doesn't apply for everyone though. For example, if you have awesome friends and  family who enjoy listening to you talk to yourself {or at least just ignore it :P}.
These tips do also apply if you are into the habbit of talking to inanimate objects {which I may or may not do.....}
 
I hope these tips have helped you! ;)

                                                     Have a good day, girlies!

My Transformation Story {sounds so dramatic!}

Heya Girlies! No this post isn't about how I turned from an alien princess to a human or any thing, it's the story of how I became an actual Christ Follower. :)

 I hope you can dredge through this post without pictures, as I couldn't find any that fit :)    
                          my...{true!}story!

At the ripe ol' age of four and a half, I asked Jesus to forgive me for my sins and to come into my heart. The next day when I went to preschool, my mom let me wear a tiara :) because, as she said, I was now a princess. :) I had fun explaining to every one in my class and later that night at church that "I am princess!"  I was so very proud of my new title.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But, after a week or two, I just sort of got over it and continued living my life the way I wanted to. I wasn't a super bad little girl, but I still had my moments. I would talk back to my parents (and in return get paddled ;); steal candy from our candy tin a home and from my own teacher{I used to go to a private Christian school}!!! But also, I would lie. I'd get my reading assignment for that night and I was supposed to read it then have my mom sign the little slip of paper to say that I read it. But I didn't read it. I would just tell my mom that I had read it so she would sign it. 
Getting "saved" sooo did not change me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I lived like that up until a couple years ago when I discovered a few blogs by Christian girls. I had never heard of people actually living their life for Jesus!  I had never really considered being able to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I mean, sure, I prayed sometimes. Then one day something just snapped inside of me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I started to pray. At first, I didn't know what to pray about, so I just  told God about my day, about what I had been learning from people like Miss Raquel and Miss Lucia (sorry, I don't have a link to her blog anymore). As I grew older, I also grew in faith :). I realized Jesus wasn't just that barefooted dude wearing a dress on the flannel graph board; He was my Saviour, my Lord and my Friend. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've grown so much in Jesus {as well as height!} since that day I started praying {and reading the Bible, I do that too! :)}. I've learned from my parents and grandparents, who, even though I hadn't noticed before, really are passionate about living their lives for their Lord.  I really am praying that you girls might learn more about Jesus and be able to grow in Him through this blog. :)
