THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!

Today my youngest sister turned 5. My family went to a young chef's academy to go cook our very own mini pizza, and decorate our own cupcake. On Friday my dad booked a hotel for us to stay in. Its what my family calls a "Staycation" where we are still in our city just away from home. She really loved that. I went out to buy her a Baby Alive Baby All Gone, a special request from my grandma. My mom and I wrapped it in princess paper, in the hotel room. It was a struggle to hide it away from her. But we did. "THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!," she said.

Thank You Jesus!!!

In July my mother found she was pregnant. I am estatic, I am going to be a big sister to another child. Today my mom went to get an ultrasound. She is 11 weeks 5 days. The baby is the size of a lime. I convinced my mom to get an app called Baby Bump for her phone. It is a pregnancy tracker. This will be her 6 th baby, and my 8th sibling. My whole family is hoping its a boy. I, personally do not care what sex it is, as long as it is healthy. This pregnancy is the most memorable of all my younger siblings. My mom is sometimes emotional, happy, sleepy. I try not to get in her hair. She has been getting " Baby Brain" that is a case where she forgets random things like her keys, or she misplaces her phone. Luckily she has a wonderful daughter, moi, who grocery shops and can help her figure out her problems. This is the best thing that has happened all summer. I am so excited

Menstrual Cycle

I'll never forget February 16, 2010 the day I came on my cycle. It was early in the morning around six-fifty and I had been cramping the week before. The pain was,well, painful. After my mom told me It was my period, she rejoiced, while I sat just staring at her. Dancing, praying and calling friends is the last thing I expected my mother to do, on this day. In my point of view, "I'm cramping," in hers, "Whoo hoo Hallelujah." My 10 year old brother on the other hand was shocked, speechless, and spooked. "I never thought this day would come, ever," he said. My father left to work early that day around 4 o' clock, so he didn't see what had happened.

I was surprised the next day when my father decided to take my family out to dinner. In celebration of my period. I never thought that my period would be such big news. I reacted a little to much, but this is a big deal! With all the excitement going around the house, I was able to relax all day long, except for when I had to clean up a mess one of my siblings made.

I am so grateful I am home-schooled. My mother planed out a school calendar, for my brother and I. It turns out the week I started my cycle was the week we were on break. I am so grateful, it saved me the embarrassment. A teacher comes every week to teach my other siblings. When I learned that most girls don't tell or hadn't told their parents they had a period because they thought their parents would get angry, I was grateful I had parents who didn't despise the fact I had a period, and who actually rejoiced. I am grateful because most children my age wish to have parents like mine.

My perspective changed that week.

God Bless

Should Christians Celebrate St. Valentine's Day

Should Christians participate in the celebration of St. Valentine's Day? Most would answer,” Why wouldn't they?” Why not, one would say, Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. People might say Valentine's Day is a celebration of love, but what kind of love?

In the Bible, Jesus says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. What kind of love should you have for your neighbor? Is it the same kind of love people share on Valentine's Day? Around Valentine's week, commercials and advertisements convince people to buy their product. Such as,"Send a special one a bouquet or a box of chocolates." If you really think about a person, send them an unexpected gift.” Do we need to name a day were we have to buy something for someone. This is not the kind of love Jesus states in the Bible. Jesus wants us to have Godly love for one another.

There are many types of love, but only one TRUE love. People share brotherly love, such as giving to the poor or sending an uplifting card to senor citizens. There is true love, and unconditional love. True love is the love a committed husband and wife share. True love is expressed through commitment or covenant with someone. Unconditional love is the love God has for us. God's love is shown through forgiveness, blessings, correction, mercy, and grace. This is the love Jesus states in the Bible.

   

Love expressed on Valentine's Day is a counterfeit love. Competition partakes in this event. Let's say you take your wife on a picnic, in you living room, by candlelight. Your friend takes his wife to an expensive restaurant. The wives might get together to see whose husband gave the best gift, or took them to the best place. Another example, let's say children in a school class compete to see who has the best gift. A child might come with a handmade card. Another might brings boxes, in the shape of a heart, full of chocolate. The first child might feel their gift is worthless, compared to others. Competition takes part in this holiday.

If you truly love someone the way God loves us, why show off on a specific day. Express your love everyday. Godly love is the only true love.

SAT Practice Test

My brother and I took another SAT practice test two weeks ago. I was surprised by my grades, I definitely improved. The first time I took the test I made a score of 1005, the last test I took was 1254. I am very proud of myself. I have improved very much. I really am grateful that I have this opportunity to take practice test. Not many people can take practice test, many children just go and take the test and others probably don't understand how to take the test. I am so grateful I have a mother who take the time to teach my brother and I, I thank for God for blessing me for a mother that sacrifices her time to teach. She is my role model.

Devotion # 3

August 2, 2010

Questions:  What happened in the Great Flood?
 
In this devotion we discussed the flood God sent to destroy the earth. Read and learn what learned about the flood.

What happened in the Great Flood?
     God will punish, bless, forgive, and supply. The day Adam and Eve sinned, every child they had were sinners. The moment the world fled with people, the world fled with sinners. People were so wicked in their doing. The Lord was furious, so He choose a man named Noah to do something great. God instructed him to build an ark, because of Noah's obedience God  saved Noah and his family. God made a rainbow to show that he would not destroy the earth with water. Next time God will destroy the earth with fire.

Devotion # 1

Today I will start posting all my devotions from my home school.

July 28,2010

   Questions: What happened in the Garden of Eden?
                      How does that effect us today?

In today's devotion we discussed about Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Everything God created was good, including man. Adam and Eve were made in the image of God. Adam and his wife were free to do anything they pleased, the had power over everything. There was one thing God told them specifically not to touch, the tree of life. 

What happened in the Garden of Eden?:
      One day a serpent cane to Eve and tempted her to eat the fruit of the tree. After Eve had ate of the fruit, she gave it to Adam , her husband, and ate of it. After they ate of the fruit they acknowledge their sin, and hid from God. God asked them and gave them a chance to tell the truth if they had eaten of the tree. Yet they blamed each other.

How does that effect us today?:
      God cast them out of the garden, and told them they had cursed their generation of children with sin. That effects us today because we are born of sin, and evildoers. I thank God that he sent his son to die for us, and cleanse us from our sins.

It's My Birthday!

I am now 12  years today. I remember yesterday before today I was so happy now it's my b-day. I am not as happy as I was cause now I'm 12. 12 Years ago I was in a diaper saying Dada as my first word. The years go by so fast. 

A Truthful Speech

“Why do we sleep in church, But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why is it so hard to talk about God,
but so easy to talk about gross things?
Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine,
but find it easy to read Playboy?
Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly myspace bulletin,
yet we repost the nasty ones?
Why are churches getting smaller,
but bars and clubs are expanding?
Why is it so easy to purchase beer and drugs?
But so hard to donate 25 cents for a Charity?
Why is it so easy to worship a Celebrity,
but very difficult to engage with God?
Why do people laugh at you for being religious,
but praise you for thinking dirty and vain?
Think about it, are you going to repost this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you’ll get laughed at?
80 % of you won’t repost this.
[Jesus] said: ‘If you deny Me in front of your friends,
I will deny you in front of my Father.’
96% of people WON’T stand up for God…
Put this on your profile if you’re one of the 4% who will, cause I am"

That's why I write...And blog

A Little Girl called Faith ( story 1)

There once was a little girl, Amana (which means  "Loyal, faithful.") everyone thought she was odd and peculiar. Amana didn't have any friends, she would talk to a voice inside her head, she would often say,"Trust in the Lord and he will protect you."  One day she went outside on a sunny beautiful day with the other children. Every body knows when spring is here, the bees come out. When the bees came out the children scattered everywhere, they were all afraid. But, this little girl enjoyed the company of the bees, she danced and singed with them. When the children saw her they were amazed that the girl wasn't afraid or frightened, they began to think she was crazy and called her freaky . Then Amana said,"Just believe that you won't get hurt, trust that God will protect you." The kids gathered together and had a group talk," She always says trust, trust in this trust in that." one little boy said," Yeah, and she always talks to herself, and the God part it gets on my nerves." a little girl said.  Another little boy, Josiah, saw that she could be right and decided to join her," Just trust in God, he will protect you." said Amana. " Have you ever gotten stung before," said Josiah. " Nope never." Amana said. The little boy saw a glow in her face and knew that there was something inside her that made her believe. " Would you like to be my friend." Josiah said," Sure I would love to."   So they boy and Amana were best friends. It took sometime for the boy to believe that there was a God and a Messiah, but he got saved by the Holy Spirit, but that's another story.

Ressurection Day

Well, the day is almost here, and will never forget that Jesus died to save me.Then he rose on the third day, Sunday,Two days ago a lady at the hair salon asked me if I have my Easter dress ready, and I didn't know what to say but no not yet, then I said We are not doing that this year. My mom told me sometimes people will have a topic that is against what you believe. I agree, she is a correct, I did not want to talk to her about that subject. Easter, bunny rabbit etc. has nothing to do with God ans Christ or Resurrection day.

My family has been watching movies and stories that come on channels about Jesus and his ministries.

Some of them are :
                               1. Jesus of Nazareth
                               2.The Passion of the Christ
                               3.The day Christ Died
                               4.Resurrection Day
                               5. Moses part 1
                               6. Moses part 2


I can say we are fasting and praying for a miracle in our life for the economy to change and many other things.
 We want God to forgive us for ALL our sins in the past and our future mistakes. Jesus rose again Sunday.

My Awesome Experience

I am so amazed, Just yesterday, The Holy Ghost was right by my side. Yesterday my family went for a drive, we went  out to eat and went for a ride. At noon, we decided to go to the grocery store, I said,"Mom, I'll go in, you stay here.," She said alright.(This was my first time in by myself, using a credit card). I couldn't believe my ears. I was thinking," cool", All alone by myself. As soon as I walked in, my mind was in a different mindset. It was like, what do I need to get. The Lord is so Mighty. I soon headed for the bread, there were so many things that my family liked, the items were hidden were not one person probably  in my family would think they were, and "I" caught them. What I'm trying to say is, my eyes were open to see the hidden things, I was focus, there was no confusion. My mind was set on a goal . I thought this was an opportunity to show myself  mature. When I was in the check out isle, the lady said,"Are "YOU" paying?" I said,"Yes ma'am," " Where is your mother?" I said," In the car" "did she give you a list?" I said,"No ma'am I usually remember everything" "WOW, how old are you?" "eleven" " you are very responsible." I swiped the card the wrong way, I pinned in the wrong number, forgot 3 items that we needed. When I walked out of the store.....I felt proud, usually Iwould just act like I'm a grown woman who is 4 foot something, but not this time the Holy Spirit lead me, and brought so many things to my memory. Jesus said he would send a helper, The Holy Ghost. And I can say he helped me.  GOD IS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
