Carry on {with reading this, that is}

{via}

• In love with God
• smart 
• leader
• funny
• loves me
• likes kids
• great hair
• good cook
• is basically loving
• manly
• all around nice
• respectful
• sings along with the radio
• big n' buff

See that? That's the majority of characteristics most Christian girls {...okay me} want in their future mate.
And, though you've all probably heard this before, if we want {to deserve} a husband who is like that, we've got to be working on those qualities {well, with the exception of a few...}in our own lives.
Want a husband who's completely and totally sold out to God?
             Be so, yourself.
Got it?

And, while I'm on the subject, just remember, ladies: You're single right now for a reason. So spend this time growing closer to God. Make Him your love.

 I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or the does of the field, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases. ~Song of Solomon 2:7


Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. ~ 1 John 4:7-8


Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. ~ Deuteronomy 7:9


For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs. ~ Zephaniah 3:17 {*sigh* One of my favorites!}

Recipe Find

Okay, this recipe is pretty good, we made it for Christmas, and they were just about everyone's favorite!

                   
                       OREO TRUFFLES
Ingredients:

• 1 package of Oreos-any kind
• 1 package of cream cheese {regular stuff, not the whipped}
• one package of melting chocolate

You will need a food processor and a mixer for this recipe.
Put the Oreos in the food processor and "process" till they are fine crumbs.  Put crumbs and cream cheese into mixer and mix till cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Spread a sheet of wax paper on a cleared counter or table and use a very small cookie scoop to scoop them out. Don't worry about separating them as you would cookies; you won't be baking them, therefore, they won't spread! Put them in the freezer for a few hours or until they aren't as soft.
When you think they are hard enough, take them out, and start melting your chocolate! You can use a chocolate melter, or a double boiler {if you don't have either, melt in a glass measuring cup in the microwave, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn}. As soon as the chocolate is melted, dip a cookie ball in the chocolate and make sure it's completely covered. Don't leave it in the chocolate for too long, or else it will start to melt.
Carefully place on another sheet of wax paper and let cool.
Happily eat. :)
Notes:

• You can use regular Oreos, mint Oreos, white Oreos, or even Nutter Butters :)
• Likewise, you can use white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate.
• If your house is warm, it would be a good idea to, once they are frozen, plop them into a plastic container and slip in the freezer, only taking a few out as you dip them.
• It would also be a good idea to store them in the refrigerator {or if the outside is cold, the "outdoor refrigerator" ;)} as they are made with cream cheese.

PS: remember this post? Well, I found a page with ten different mug cake recipes!!!!
PSS: Thanks so much to my new follower, memory!

i love...

Inspector Hector soap!!!!!! :)

It changes color, and it smells good!

What more could you ask for?

{And, yes, I do realize that the last time I did an 'i love...' post, I said I love foamy soap. But I mean, c'mon!!!!! It's SOAP.} :)

This movie :) I just...love it. <3

Okay, and I don't have a picture for this, because it's more of a feeling...

I love it when I'm going through something hard, or even something joyful, and a verse corresponding with that moment pops into my head at the right moment! :)

Which brings up another matter....

I'll tell y'all tomorrow. ;)

Okay, and to finish off, thank you so much to my 18th follower. Did you read that???? Eighteenth!

Though, um, my follower thing is acting weird and I can't see who it is...

so, if you're the illusive 18th follower, could you comment and let me know?

If not, though, thanks so much, anyway! :)

Just, well, sort of random stuff....

Hey Girls, I'm back!!! At first, I had decided to stop blogging, but then when I started my "Goodbye" post, I just couldn't make myself post it. Well, that, and the fact that I HAVE TWO NEW FOLLOWERS!!!! (Thanks so much, Annie Lauren and Rebekah Brielle!!!)  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, what do you think of the new Blogger look? To tell you the truth,* I don't really like it. But, I'm going to try it for a while to see if I warm up to it. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you ever have trouble reading your Bible? I do. Not really with getting myself to read it, but instead when I'm reading it. I can never just focus on one specific book of the Bible...{well, I guess it's not that much of a problem :P} Like for example last night, I had asked Jesus who He wanted me to show His love to this week. I immediately thought of my family; they're all hurting in some way, and I know they just want some lovin'. :)

 So I remembered this one passage in John where Jesus was surrounded by his disciples and some of His closest followers, and Mary (Jesus's mother) and one of His brothers came near. Jesus's friends said something along the lines of, "Jesus, your family is here." And Jesus replied with something close to, "You're my family." 

Instead of finding that I got sucked into different passages of Mark (awesome books by the way :). I never found that passage. (But, I will tonight,, and I'll post  it tomorrow. But if any of you know it, will you pretty please post it?:) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, what are ya'll (I'm not really from the South, I just like using that word at every possible time :) reading in the Bible? What've you learned about Jesus thus far {I like saying that too!}in your life? I really do want to know....I also want comments :) Tell me if you want me to do something different on here :)

 Okay, fare thee well, God bless!

*I know that phrase can annoy people sometimes, so I try not to use it.

Think lil' kid

Hey Girls! Yes, I know I've been gone for, like, a month...{SORRY!!!} But, my excuse is that I've been busy with visiting family and such.  Okey dokey, on to the...uh...post!!!
                                     ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Okay, so, I've been reading through the book of Luke. I don't really know what exactly I should post about except for that fact that it should have something to do with something happening in Luke.  
                                    
    *skimming through the book* 

     *still skimming*
AHAH!!!!! I've found the passage on which I will give you my opinion on.
Now they were bringing even infants to Him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him, saying, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you,  whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Luke 18: 15-17

I don't know about you, but whenever I read this little passage, I get the feeling that Jesus must have really liked little kids.  And whenever I get that feeling, I start to grin, because there's something just so exciting and swoon worthy thinking of Jesus with a bunch of little kids climbing on Him and playing with Him. :D 
Now these verses can be kind of confusing sometimes. Like, what did Jesus mean about us receiving the kingdom of God like a little kid would...? Little kids are imaginative and they believe anything they're told. They believe in magic, without question. When they go to Sunday School, they here about Jesus and all the "cool" miracles He did, and they don't doubt for one second that it's not true.  So, I don't think Jesus meant that we should be immature, but that we should, instead, think like a little kid.

And thank you,Prism, for following!!!!!!!

New post coming soon!

Hey, girls! I'm working on a new post at the moment but it's getting to be kind of hard, because, well, it's pretty much directed right towards me! So, yeah, I could use some prayer for me to be able to finish the post and to let God teach me something through it. {I'm pretty hard headed, so that's gonna be a big job ;)}

Soooo....I'll tell you what I've been doing this week . WARNING: The following content may bore you to death....YOU"VE BEEN WARNED!!!
Well, to start off, I'll tell you that I won't be able to get on here on the  weekends, sometimes an entire week, due to traveling and other stuff. {Yep, other stuff. Doesn't that sound so exciting? :P}
ANYWAY....
Well, the other day me and my sibs went to the doctor.  And guess what I found out!!!!! Wait for it-  I'm perfectly healthy!!!!!   Yes, I know, you girls were so worried about me. :)      
 After the doctor, we all went grocery shopping. which let me tell you, is immensly  {can you sense the sarcasm?} fun when my younger sibling is there. Basically all we heard was, "Are we finished yet?" "My legs are SO tired!!!" "I'm really hungry, can we go now?!!"     So, ....yeah. Aren't you jealous???

Okay, so, umm, that's really all I have to say. So, just listen to this song, it's pretty awesome. :)

Don't 'cha just love it!?

Oh, and thanks Z
