thankful-day 17, 18, annnnnd 19.

so sorry. I have been busy....but I COULD have taken time to post. but I didn't. :( and I am sorry.

I am just going to do today actually and say I am thankful for adoption. It is an amazing experience....I got to be a witness and a part of an adoption today for my first first cousin ever! like, I didn't have any first cousins until today ;) it was so much fun and such a great experience...it is so touching, wonderful, and just awesome. I definitely want to adopt when I get older....and we might even eventually adopt. :) I don't know that for sure so don't start any rumors ;) I just know that we would love to eventually....

its awesome and so wonderful of people to reach out to children who need a safe, loving, and warm family! :) and I got to be a part today...and it is something I will never, never forget! ;)

thankful-day15 and 16

sorry I missed a day:(
but I am thankful for Jesus Christ and His dying on the cross for our sins!!! That is the best gift one could ever give! (that kinda ties into Christmas as well:)
I am also thankful for books. the bring you into a whole new world or fill your brain with extra knowledge and bring tears to your eyes, laughter, and just a lot of fun! I want to be an avid book reader but sometimes that just doesn't happen. :p I am keeping track of every book I read and then at the end of the year, I will have to post every book I read and what I thought of it...or maybe a video would be easier :) I am working on, in school, a essay on influentiral literature. I will have to post it...maybe through video as well. (its long lol)


also,

Check out Esther and I's cover of Blessings-Laura Story. tell me whatcha think:)

tonight, my mom and us four kiddos did our Christmas shoebox shopping! it is always so much fun buying stuff for a little boy or girl or a teen boy or girl and finding things you like to give to that someone. we always enjoy this tradition SO much. I am thankful for having the money and the resources and having my parents who can get us the things we need....and the fun stuff too! we have SO much to be grateful for....

pack a shoebox....be a light...be kind....be thankful.

Jesus will be there. what could be better? there will be all of our favorite Bible people and children and grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles and teachers and everyone who knows Christ and serves Him with all their heart and makes it to heaven.

today I am very thankful to my online teachers:) they have taught me things for school and for life.
I am very, very thankful for Mrs. Schmuck. :) she is my favorite teacher....
last year we received a Christmas card from ABA and it had a picture of all the teachers. and Mrs. Schmuck was there! and last year's English class had been recorded the 09-10 year and so I knew it was recent and I didn't think that she would just leave like that! so I emailed the school and they said she was very sick and to pray...so I sent a get well email and then just today I received an email from her husband, Ron.
He said that she is now resting in the arms of Jesus...her bone marrow cancer came back in an acute form of leukemia and she passed away. I was so sad...I was just devastated to find that out....

Please play for the Schmuck family right now....and be thankful for you teachers!!!

Love you teachers!

today I am thankful for my computer...or all of our 7 computers in our house for that matter! and the internet and all that fun, geeky, techy stuff! It can be bad but it can be used for good and fun as well! I have grown up in this environment and know that its not going to stop! its going to keep getting better! I also am sooo thankful for my cellphone! I have not had to pay one cent on it except on the three cases I bought for it! I am so thankful to my aunt and uncle and their willingness to do this for me! it has been a huge blessing! especially like when mom AND dad are gone and I need something etc. its great to have my own personal phone to text or call with. :)

technology is GREAT!

thankful-day4

today I am thankful my dad is still here with us. :) most of you have heard that on March 20, 2010, our lives were changed...forever. my dad's leg broke and then found out it had cancer in it and to get rid of it, they have to amputate his whole right leg. now the cancer has come back into his lungs and he just finished chemo for that. he is done now and will just have CT scans every 3 months and they are just going to be monitoring the hopefully shrinking tumors! the last scan he had was showing that they really didn't do much but some inflammation that was in his lungs had gone down...and a doctor my aunt talked to (who is actually a cousin of Obama :O ) said that that because they didn't show a lot of signs of shrinking or growing that maybe they were in a process of dying.

anyway, I am very thankful that he is still here with us! and I hope God allows him to stay for still a long long time....:)
thanks dad for being who you are! I know this has been the hardest on you these past months...but I wouldn't be who I am without you and mom.

I love you Dad!


I am also very thankful for my mom! she does so much around here for us kids...she teaches, cleans, does laundry, takes care of us, cooks, etc, etc, etc!!! I love you Mom!! thank you for everything you do for us!!! I know its been so hard for you through all this and yet you still keep on keeping on and being here for us! thank youu!! I wouldn't be the person I am without you.

I wouldn't be here without either of you! so thank you very much for that too! and raising me up! :)


stay beautiful!

thankful-day3

today I am thankful for God's Word. Each day either in school or on my own or both I enjoy reading, studying verses for school, listening to my Bible teacher teach, etc. Right now, one of my favorite books is Proverbs. It is amazing...it has so many wonderful little pieces of wisdom.
I have several favorite Bible people but one of my most favorite is Esther....of course Jesus is AWESOME but Esther...she was amazing. I want her to be my role model!! her courage was so......strong.
Have any of you seen "One Night With The King"? if not, I HIGHLY suggest you all check it out...either on Netflix, at the library, or buy it...
Its one of my top top favorite movies......eva.

Hope you all are having a wonderful week....today was my Friday! so tomorrow...means a day of school! so stoked.
oh and on Saturday-I get to see a someone...:)

stay beautiful<3

today I am thankful for my education....its tough. school is. so. tough. sometimes.....but I am thankful! and I am thankful for my parents being willing to pay for it and my mom teaching/helping! today is one of those days where we didn't get started as early as we would like, we are a bit behind, I have quite the load of homework, but I am thankful........or I am trying to be?! :P

someone on twitter who I follow posted this last night-
if you haven't looked in the mirror and told yourself you're beautiful lately, go do it. right now. :)

so...what are you waiting for readers?! do it! :)

also...she posted this quote:
"real men never stop trying to show a girl how much she means to him, even after he's got her." - wiz khalifa


here are some more quotes:
@LoveQuotes: I can be a lover, a hater, a fighter, a player, but that just ain't my style. I'm nothing but a mystery with a pretty smile.

@LoveQuotes: I'm a girl. I overreact. I underestimate. I overestimate. I over think everything. I dream big. And when I say I love you, I'm not lying


@LoveQuotes: A true friend cares like a mom, scolds like a dad, teases like a sister, irritates like a brother and loves more than a lover.

stay beautiful,
