blessed

My family has been blessed to have such a great and wonderful woman in our lives. A few weeks ago I think God was preparing me for this because I watched "Touched by an Angel" and it has helped me through this past week. This Christmas hasn't been like any other because my grandma has been in the hospital for her last days here on earth. I think God was showing my family that we will be able to carry on all the holiday traditions and everything else that we do each day. I have seven things I am sharing to you because I think they will help us through this emotional time.

these seven things are about mama.

1.she was a child of God
2. raised eight wonderful children
3.always beat me at dominos
4.showed others Jesus' love by doing great things
5.she was very funny, smart and pretty
6. raced me to the driveway at the end of our walks
7.stylish as in she had some rockin clothes.


As my family has shed tears together both at home and in the hospital room i've noticed that it is helping us be closer to God and to each other everyday.

Chris Tomlin

Last night I went to see Chris Tomlin in concert. He puts on an indescriable show. I loved that he and the girl touring with him don't have an opening act or a closing act, they just shared the stage together. There was a speaker and his talk was great! At the very end of Louie Giglio's talk my eyes were a little misty.  After his talk they sang "Amazing Grace" (my chains are gone). It was neat how he transitioned into "Jesus  Messiah" from "Amazing Grace". It by far was a great concert and if I could I would go to another one while this tour is still going on. Chris Tomlin said that we were the best crowd he'd had in ten years and that we weren't singing to him and he wasn't singing to us, we were singing to God. He also said that he wished we would all went buses and go on the rest of the tour with them. It was a great night!

Here's to you.

On your birthday as you are turning 18,I am so glad you are my sister and that as we grow into adulthood together, we are closer to each other and to God. Thank you for being such a good, funny, and smart big sister. Happy birthday Ashley! I love you!

Chet.

Chet is a cousin who is funny and smart. A few weeks ago he graduated from FSU. There are a few things I enjoy doing with him. We have fun  going  to baseball games, and we have fun together. So congrats fuzzie!

Lorelai Gilmore is the mother of a 16 year old daughter named Rory. She works at an inn and also goes to school. Lorelai is the fun young mom who tries to act like a friend to Rory, who is a smart bookworm. Richard and Emily Gilmore are the parents of Lorelai and the grandparents to Rory. Emily and Richard don’t always get along with Lorelai and Rory, but that doesn’t stop them from loving each other. Emily is a lady who is proper for everything. Richard is a businessman and is always reading a newspaper at the table.

I love Gilmore Girls because it is a show that I can watch with my sister and fuzzie. It is also funny, and there can also be some drama at times. Gilmore Girls will make you laugh, and you can always quote from the show, like “What in the world!” Gilmore Girls is the best!

mother's day

happy mother's day mom! your the best and I love you!

being different.

I recently read a book called Stargirl. Stargirl was not like any other kid because she knew when everyone's birthday was, and played the ukulele while she sang happy birthday to them. She also left candy on all the desks of her classmates. One day, Stargirl changed her name to Susan so that she could be like everyone else. That did not work, so she changed her name back to Stargirl and then moved to a different state.

I am probably different to some people. I like math and going to the dentist. When I tell that to people, they think I am crazy, but the truth is you can like what you want. You can't change what you like for others.

Stargirl learned that you should not change and be like everybody else. When she changed her name to Susan, she wasn't very popular or happy. It is a big mistake if you change the way you are, because you are who you are, and no one can take that away from you. Everybody is different in his or her own ways. If it weren't for being different,we would all be very boring. God made us different for that reason,  and so we could learn from others' mistakes. So don't not like something, start liking something, or change the way you act or dress because we like each other for who we are.

Stay who you are.
