There will be no funeral for my phone, but just so you all know...
The phone is now resting at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker. Accually he's in my room. but the sea is what took his cyber life. The sea can be cruel...

I will eventually be replacing him, but right now its just too soon :(
Goodbye, my electronic freind!
RIP at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker...

The gardens look great, I have more than I thought I would! I planted bell peppers and thyme in cinder blocks, flowers in old hub caps, onions in a tire, oregano in a big mixing bowl, chives in an old pot and in a rain boot, and more, my dad says that it looks like I got all my planters from the junk yard! Haha :D
I absolutly love fresh vegitables... so my "bounty" may never make it to the house ;)

x 10

I’ve been working in my new garden today. I am so excited! I am planting peas, basil, chives, onions, red bell peppers, cilantro, raspberries, lavender, lemon balm, mint, oregano, and grapes. I know some of those items are a little unrelated, but I want to grow different stuff. The fresh oregano should go GREAT in homemade spaghetti sauce! And the grapes and raspberries are just for fun J

I’ll keep you guys updated on my progress. Oh and pray I win the contest between me and my dad, for who’s garden is bigger this summer, granted, his plot of ground is mine x 10. Haha but I’m confident. :D

discovering WCBC podcast

Done with yard work. I am taking my biology exam in about an hour... wish it were english.
  I recently discovered WCBC podcasts, I love them. Love Terrie Chapell's lessons, she is an amazing teacher. I only wish I had thought about it when I had chicken pox!

Stuff

For the last 2 weeks we have been selling Krispy Kream donuts as a fundraiser for next week, veary successful.

soooo good

Morning! doing yard work today with my teen group. Only 5 more days till the YC in California! Anywho...Eating delisious peach crisp and popcorn... sooooo good.

Really Funny :D hehe

Tomorrow our teen group is having a Navajo taco sale @ Walmart, and taking orders for Krispy Kream doughnuts.
We're raising money to go to West Coast Baptist College's YC this April. I am excited!!! >weezing< Haha not that excited! The preaching is amazing, I love it. Last year @ Six Flags I chickened out, got ice cream and rode the mary-go-round... painful memories... hahahaha, I feel better when I say that Katie was the one who insisted on riding it! But the best part was when I talked my youth pastors wife and our girls counselor into riding a water ride. It was hilarious. they came out soooo soaked, if your reading this Mrs. Darlene and Christy, I'm sorry... but it was really funny :D hehe

A Servent by Choice

I have been called to serve the Lord through ministry, I'm hopping that later in my life I'll be able to become a nurse. Last year I knew I wanted to be a nurse, I wrote the Dean of Johns Hopkins asking for information and basic application forms. I was set on becoming a nurse and then going to Bible College, But, a friend of mine, Mary, she's 26, told me she went to nursing school with her plans for 
Bible College for after she became an RN, and it didn’t work. She said she jumped into something highly influenced by the world without the spiritual strength and preparation she needed . I didn’t just change my mind after she told me her experience, I thought and prayed about it a lot. I asked God, Is this your plan for my life? "Not my will, but Thy will…"  God didn’t push me aside and tell me to wait, so why should I do that to him?  I know that many people are not meant to be in the ministry, but when you are, it’s a definite thing. You know because Christ draws you to it and gives you a crucified heart. If you refuse to answer his call, do his will, and put him first above everything in your life you are saying no to the best things in life you can imagine. A life of service is a choice. Not many people would choose to be a servant, sometimes it is hard decision. But Defiantly worth it in every way.

The Last of the Chickenpox!!!

I hate to say it, but, I have the pox. I woke up last Tuesday morning with one on my neck, I thought it was some sort of bug bite (it felt like an ant bite). That night the one "ant bite" had spread like a plague, it was terrible! I really thought I wasn’t going to get it. The first two days were awful, I felt like I was on fire, And I couldn’t get comfortable (Is there ever such a thing as comfort when you're sick?). Thankfully,  
I'm already healing up, and ready to stop blogging about chickenpox!!! Ha Ha. Being sick like this makes me so thankful to the Lord for my good health.
This is the last chickenpox post! :)))

Chicken pox

The pox are almost gone, Daniel feels much better, and I still don’t have them. Friday
Will be ten days since I have been exposed, so I will be able to go to my Help Meet class Friday night.
And as great as the inspiration was, I am glad to get this over with! My brother and I both agree, the absolute worst part of chicken pox is the cabin fever; I have been dying to get out of the house! I will be so glad to start my ministries again on Saturday. :)))

Chicken pox-Day 5

I missed going to church so much this morning. My friend Kate called me about an hour ago to tell me how service went this morning. I cant wait to get back to being busy. I have major cabin fever, so does Daniel, all he talks about is going outside to be with his dog, Boss. Daniel and Boss are like Mickey and Pluto! Daniel hasnt been outside in allmost a week and all Boss has done for most of that time is lay out in the sun crying, literaly! Boss cries, like a baby. Haha, and looking more like a Basset hound than a German shepherd. I opened the front door this morning and Boss was sitting in the door way, he looked at me with hopefull eyes, I scratched his ears and he cryed louder than ever. :)))

Chicken pox- day 4

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer prosecution."

2 Timothy 3:12

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that neadeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."

2 Timothy 2:15

Daniel's spots are scaring over, so it shouldn’t  be more than two or three days before he is better. He has pox on his tongue and his lips, it was really bothering him today. 

Chicken pox- Day 3

Daniel looks better today :)))

Wednesday morning, I wasn't looking forward to Friday night, dad woke me up telling me I couldn’t go to the teen valentine banquet because I was contagious. I was looking forward to the formal. Then, when mom and dad got home from church they told me the good news, since there would only be a few people at the banquet and because I am contagious they decided to move it to the 17th. I was so happy, I really appreciate my youth Pastor and his wife. All the teens at our church, including me, are blessed to have them. :)))

  As for Daniel, The itching continues, Dad is convinced I will also fall victim to the spots, the itching, and the calamine. If I do (I'm convinced that I wont), I'll watch Cary Grant, eat peppermint chocolate chip ice cream, and Mashed potatoes. Yes, mashed potatoes, some people like soup for comfort food, but all I want is a big bowl of hot and creamy potatoes. When Daniel gets sick he hates the thought of any food. He barely eats the soup that mom makes for him, but  being twelve I suppose chocolate ice cream is much more appealing.

Chicken Pox- Day 2

Thursday
I see spots before my eyes!
I went into Daniels room this morning to check on him, the spots had increased x100, he's having a hard time with all the itching and stinging, but I think the worst part for him is the calamine lotion, Why? I asked him, Because its PINK! Hehe He really hates how cold it is when I put it on his sores, he shivers up and down with discust with every dab of the dreaded... calamine.
 Thankfully I still havn't broken out at all.
 There are also perks when you have the chicken pox, ok, more like a perk, which is of course the chocolate ice cream. :)))

Chicken Pox- day 1

Wednesday
Daniel broke out Tuesday night. The dreaded chicken pox. We never had them when we were little, so I guess its our turn. He came in my room that night and showed me a bunch of red spots on his back, asking me if he had fleas (he was itching all over), without knowing what they were I touched him, I should have known that they were chicken pox. Ever since I was a kid chicken pox were really forign to me, just something kids got in movies, that kept them in their footie pajamas and out of school. And now at sixteen I've been exposed...
 I havn't broken out yet, I may not, but I still have to stay home for a while. I kind of asked for it, I prayed for inspiration for my blog, and Tuesday night my inspiration popped up all over my twelve year old brother's back.
 God answers prayers in the most interesting ways.

The greatest enemy to your life

These are my notes from a sermon that helped me a lot, by Cary Schmit
Wrong Music
1 John 4:1-6
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits weather they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh of God:" (vs. 1 and 2)
There are different spirits in the world
Some are of God.
Some directly oppose you and what you stand for.
Who are you of?
"And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:..." (vs. 3)
The false spirits are of the world. They speak through culture.
And the world hears when they speak.
Entrances to the heart-
What you hear is processed in your brain and sent to your spiritual heart, and it effects you.
It is IMPLANTED in your heart.
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (vs. 4)
The people that are of God hear from a different source
" They are of the world: therefore they speak of the world, and the world heareth them." (vs. 5)
More dangerous than drugs or alchohol. More subtle.
The effects are not apperant, blatant or fast.
The effects of drugs and alchohol are obvious.
The spirits of the world SPEAK, and the world hears them.
The five As of wrong music
1. Attraction- its popular, cool. Most of the time when things are popular they feel right to us
2. Addaptation- it takes some getting used to.
3. Addiction- controlling erge. You crave it.
4. Alteration- changes you. makes you angry.
5. Annihilation- destroies your Christian life.
Everybody but you can see what is and has happened to you.
"We are of God: he that knowethGod heareth us;he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error." (vs. 6)

I posted this because I know how satan can tempt Christian teens with music, once you "Addapt" to it, it is so hard to let it go. I gave up wrong music last summer, actualy, I am still giving it up, like I said, I know how hard it can be to let go of. God is showing me what it can do to my life, it really does change you, it destroies you, and makes it hard to serve God once you have let effect you.
