Snow

Well, it snowed at my house yesterday!

I just love the snow, and I spent the day working on a little schoolwork, making sugar cookies in the shapes of snowflakes, & a trip outside to take some pics. 

It was a truly beautiful day, and I just loved looking out at the blanket of snow. It was breathtaking.

I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few:

The scenery outside was just gorgeous!
I hope y'all had a wonderful day :) Did any of you not get snow? If you did get it, then what did you do during the day?
Hope to hear back from ya, and have a blessed day!

Sisters

Hello Everyone,

Lately I have been thinking alot about my sisters and about the type of big sister that I want to become. I have a lot of friends who have older siblings and they always talk of how great their older brothers/sisters are. Hearing my friends talk about that has really put a yearning inside my heart to become a big sister that's worthy of looking up to. I don't just want to be a sister to my siblings, but a friend and mentor as well. 

I always dream about being able to go to the mall with my little sisters and just having fun, and then treat them to a ice cream and just sit and talk about what's going on in their lives. I want them to trust me and to look up to me. I don't yearn for that for pride, but more because I want to be able to have  a close relationship with them and maybe help guide them through struggles that they have in their faith and life. 

I am so blessed to have such wonderful sisters and thankful that I get the privilege of being the eldest. I hope that over time God can help me to become a type of sister that glorify's God and shines his light.

If you have a younger sister then  I am sure you can relate to this. I just felt in my heart to post about this subject.
Have a blessed day!

Movie Review

So I watched the movie 'The Last Song' for the first time last Sunday, and
I thought maybe y'all would like a review about it :)

Summary
This is a story about a girl named Ronnie, who visits her dad over the summer at his beach house. The girl is a teenager and is going through a rebellious stage (As most young girls do). Ronnie and her dad both have a desire for music, and learn to reconnect through their love for music.


The Good & The Bad
I liked the storyline of the movie; A girl starts out rebellious but learns to see the love that her father has for her and grows closer to him.-What I don't like is the amount of provocative clothing in this film (2 piece swimsuits are shown a lot since it is a beach they are at). The girl is a bit of a brat at first and there was one in-particular scene that had some pretty intense kissing.

This movie made me laugh and cry, it was a truly touching movie when you got near the end... but I won't say why! ;)

The Actors:

Milley Cyrus played as Veronica 'Ronnie' Miller

 She played the part well.... Although I had such a hard time finding an appropriate picture of her...

Greg Kinnear played as Steve Miller (Ronnie's dad)

I liked him a lot! Very good actor :)

Bobby Coleman played as Jonah Miller (Ronnie's Brother)

 He is my most favorite actor of the whole movie! And he acted so sweet at the end of the film that I had tears watching him.

 Liam Hemsworth played as Will Blakelee (Ronnie's boyfriend)

 He was a good actor.

Rated PG, 107 Minutes long, Drama, Romance

I would not consider this movie family friendly. And I definitely wouldn't let boys watch it because of the inappropriate clothing.... So then it's up to you whether you want to see this movie. I will say that it has a ending that really just pulls at your heart and that is probably the one thing that made me like this movie. I probably won't ever see it again, but I don't regret watching it.

Well if you watch it, then be sure to let me know what you thought of it! :)

Valentines Day Encouragement

So I've been told that Valentines day, is a day to show someone you love them

Well, If your like me, then ya don't have a 'significant other' to share this special day with. Valentines day seems like an ordinary day to me, nothing that spectacular about it. Just because you are not in a relationship doesn't mean that the day can't have a significance to it though :)

I think it is important on Valentines day, to remember who the ultimate lover is; Jesus. He want's to be our valentine -not just on February 14th, but every day of the year! So rather than being upset because you don't have a  prince to share the day with, you can rejoice because you are in a relationship with the ultimate king!

Here is a verse that I think relates to today:

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

~1 John 4:12 

You can make February 14th a significant day just by sending Jesus a 'Be My Valentine' day card, via prayer! God loves us so much, and today is just a reminder of His love for us and a time to tell Him that we love him back.

♥ Have a blessed Valentine's Day! ♥

He Answers Our Prayers

Dear Readers,

Have you ever had one of those moments, were ya need to leave right now and you can't find your shoes, purse, or keys? That happens to me all the time! But something that I've learned to do is pray that God will help me find whatever I'm looking for. Sometimes it's amazing how fast he works! One time I was looking for my shoe, and I was looking inside a box that had stuff inside of it, right as I said 'aman' my hand touched something. So I pulled it out of the box... and it was my shoe! I was so amazed!

This has happened several times now, and so I started to think about it. If God answers our prayers even when it's just the little things, like finding your shoes, than why would he not answer your prayers when it comes to the bigger and more important things? If he even cares to help us find our things of this world, than how much more does he care for your soul?

I know that the fact that he answers our prayers in nothing knew, but it is something that has continued to amaze me. I just thought I would share my recent thoughts of how the Lord is amazing(!) and cares for us so much that he even answers our prayers when it's little things :) 

Have a blessed day!

Sing-A-Song Weekend!!!

This song is one that is very touching to me, I encourage you to listen to it and then scroll down to read why I feel an attachment to this song:

There have been so many struggles that I have gone through. And one day I felt that I was at my wits end, I had had one of the hardest weeks ever and my emotions had been kept inside me that whole week. I was listening to the radio and this song came on, and it just hit me. I broke down and just began to thank God for never letting go of me.

There have been so many times were I have been angry with God. As sad as I am to admit it, it's the plain truth. I neglected him and stopped reading my bible, and didn't pray. I was mad because I felt that he had let me down, I had prayed and he never answered my prayer. I wondered why he didn't care for me enough to answer my prayers. I stopped praying because I felt that it was no use, since he didn't answer my prayers anymore. I stopped reading the bible because I figured since he neglected me that I should get even and neglect him back. -I acted upon my emotions, and at the time, I was upset. And that's probably when I needed to seek God the most.

What always amazes me though, is that even when I have had outbursts were I choose to neglect God; I have never stopped listening to christian music during that time. And I have found that God tends to speak to me through music, maybe it's because he knows I will listen that way. There were times were I felt like I had just gone through the storm, and even if I hadn't, that's how I felt. And when I heard this song, it really spoke to me. Even now when I hear it, it still touches me.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I am tired of hiding behind the 'perfect-christian' mask. For so many years I have been afraid to admit that I have done wrong. Why I was afraid of this I still don't understand, but this school year I have really learned that sometimes it's good to admit your wrongings. I am human and I am no were near perfect. I have my struggles and I am learning to overcome them with the Lords help. And by admitting this I pray that if anybody else has struggled with this that they will understand that they are not alone. For so long I felt that I was the only one who had ever made the mistake of being angry with God, But I know now that I am not. And sometimes it's the encouragement of others that has helped me overcome the hardships and go back to seeking God.

I just want to leave you with knowing that your not the only one that has made mistakes in your life. We all do, but even so, God never let's go of you. He's with you in the calm and through the storm, every high and every low, He never let's go of you. And he has never let go of me, and I can never thank him enough for that.
Have a blessed day ♥
