Merry Christmas!!!!
I hope everyone had a very, merry Christmas!
Mine was pretty stinking amazing and filled with miracles. The biggest one was that my siblings were all feeling better this morning! They were all sick with the flu with raging fevers, but they woke up this morning with smiles on their faces, and the youngest one running up and down the hall.
We kids had an incredible surprise this morning too. Walking out to the School Room, we looked at the Christmas tree. Presents, many presents, cluttered the floor beneath the Christmas tree. Every single child's jaw dropped as we looked at all of them. We couldn't wait till after breakfast as we kids checked the room to make sure the presents were still there. I promise you. We didn't expect a single present, but each one got at least four! I am so blessed by God, by his amazing gift this morning. Good health, and blessings sent from Him! When we asked Mom where the gifts came from, she said, "Jesus." She wouldn't tell us where they really came from, but now I don't really care. I am overwhelmed by the kindness of my loving God and the generosity of others.
One other thing God has blessed us with this Christmas, is the gift of Himself. He gave Himself to us, so that we can one day live in Heaven with Him! I can't wait! As I think back on this day, I remember miracles. If there was one label I'd give this Christmas, I would say Miracle! Good health, joy, little bundles of blessings, generosity, and most of all Himself!

Finals Day One!
Seriously getting nervous this morning. Mom gave me the opportunity to sleep in today, but I still got up early. It kind of makes me nervous because these are finals! They count as 20% of my grade! EEP!!! However, with the Lord's help, He'll see me through this and it will be all over.
My Mom is still sick with a sinus infection. Dad had to get down on his hands and knees and drain the sinks last night. Poor Dad! There was grease in their, and all kinds of food. Yuck!
I really don't have much to say this morning. I know that God doesn't want me to be afraid. Please pray that I find His Peace this morning because I am still freaking out.
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

Good Morning!
Hello guys!
I feel much better this morning. Tired, but better. I hope you guys had a good Monday yesterday. I am like Garfield. Mondays are the worst. But, one more day till Hump-Day! And one more day till finals for me. :/ Kind of nervous about that. I know God will help me to do my best, even if my best is a B.
I got my final grades back yesterday. I got a 98 in Spanish, a 95 in American Literature, and a 95 in Chemistry. I am trying to push for an A average this year. Last year, I had one B, and in 9th Grade, I had one B as well. Both Bs were in Math class. Me no likey math.
Isn't this weather weird? It will go down in the 20s one week and then it's back in the upper 70s the next! Georgia has up and down weather that's for sure. I am hoping there will be snow this year. With weather like this we may have snow one day and the next, we can go swimming. Weird!
Pushing with my book "Daniel." I am hoping to finish editing it and writing it by this next summer. Which is both exciting and it makes me nervous. The company I wanted to publish it with unexpectedly closed, so I am going to ask for advice from a friend at my church. She has written a whole trilogy and is publishing the first book herself. Apparently you can do it for free! I already have my picture styled and picked out. I want to format it a little more, though. Below is the cover I am thinking about using.
Yesterday was the Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies live premiere in London. I watched a little of it, and it was stinkin awesome! I wish I could have been there, but I am thankful that I was able to see it.
My Nana gave me a devotional for me to read. I read it yesterday, and it really brought me down to earth. The message it spoke is "You aren't going to get anywhere being good for your spouse, children, siblings, parents, or friends. You need to do it for Jesus knowing without Him you could never be good." Wow. You know, when I rinse the dishes, take care of my sisters, clean toilets, whatever, I see it as doing it for my parents. I don't see it as doing it for God. That is something that I struggle with. Another thing I struggle with is planning for the next day. I don't know what is going to happen 15 min. from now. I have a basic idea that I will take my finals tomorrow, but all that can change in a heartbeat. God has the Plan. I need to rely on Him instead of making my own plan. Basically, don't put stuff off for tomorrow.
James 4:13-17 "Come now, you who say,“Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For tyou are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."

"Well this sucks!"
So, I am sick. My head feels like it got hit by a dumptruck. Or an airplane. Or both. Yeah, I probably have a sinus infection. FUN!!! On Finals week too!
So, please pray for me because I am trying to study and all I want is my bed and hot tea. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Well, that's embarassing! My grandfather was plenty happy that Georgia Tech beat the Dawgs. I was just sitting there like, "Well bumpersnickles!"
Yes, I have my own invented words. :)
I had a lot of fun spending time with my grandparents, but it is kind of sad to see how much pain my Grandpa is in. So, please pray for the doctors to help him and him to not be in as much pain.
As some of you head into finals this week or in the upcoming weeks, know that I will be praying for you! I hope you persevere and overcome this last hurdle before Christmas break! Almost there! You can do it!!!

Travelling
Hey guys!
Well today I am about to embark on a four hour journey to my grandparents house. This time we will be going south. Hopefully there will be no carsickness! I am excited to see them and to be able to drive. Technically I should have had my license but now, but I am a couple hours short. More like 20 hours short. Hehe, Yeah. It's bad.
Who's ready to see the Dawgs cream the Jackets? Hope I don't offend any GT fans right now, but they're going down!! Go Dawgs!
And also I want to wish a happy 16th birthday to my cousin Zachary! I hope it is a great one Zack!
See you tomorrow!!!! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
Every Thanksgiving the majority of Americans sit down in the morning and watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then there is a furious scramble as the huge Thanksgiving dinner is made ready. A couple hours are then spent filling up. Some families will go on to watch or play football, while others get the Christmas stuff out and ready. Then others will go on to watch Christmas Tree Lightings. Then there is bedtime as tomorrow is another day of work.
But what is the true meaning of Thanksgiving. I must admit that this morning we watched the Chicago McDonalds Thanksgiving Parade while eating breakfast. Then we spent some time getting dinner ready and we watched "Free Birds." I hope people don't really believe that the pilgrims and Native Americans were that mean and stupid.
But what is Thanksgiving really about? I mean, today's culture is making it a day where you get the day off to eat and it is seen as the beginning of the Holiday Season. But where did it come from? I am not going to spend all night giving you the details about The Pilgrims and the Mayflower because most everyone knows the story.
The thing is Thanksgiving literally means to give thanks. What are you thankful for? The Pilgrims had many things to be thankful for: religious freedom, food, being alive, and more. Our country is so blessed. We have so much to be thankful for. In other countries, people don't have the freedom of speech. If I lived in another country I might have to completely shut down this blog. I wouldn't be able to share the Gospel with others without being in danger for my life.
This Thanksgiving, jot down just a few things you are thanful for. If you have a family, go around the table and see what each person is thankful for.
I am thankful for religious liberty
I am thankful for my Lord Jesus Christ and the fact that he died and rose again so that I can live with Him one day.
I am thankful for my Mom. She gives me a living example of what a Proverbs 31 woman looks like.
I am thankful for my Dad. He works so hard each day just to provide for us.
I am thankful for my siblings. Each one brings such sweet joy to my life. Even when I yell at them, they forgive me.
I am thankful for my grandparents. I am glad that all of them are still alive and for the most part healthy. They teach me about God's Love by sharing it themselves.
I am thankful for my uncles. Each one has always made me laugh and has shared the Gospel with me through their obvious faith in Christ.
I am thankful for my Aunts. They all are Godly examples as they care for their families and help me learn how to do things.
I am thankful for my cousins. I am especially thankful for my cousins Mik, Andrew, and Zack. They are older or close to my age and our such Godly encouragement through themselves, their Facebook posts, and more. I am thankful for all the younger ones who make me laugh so much. I am thankful for little Hannah and Elizabeth, my only girl cousins. They are such sweet little girls and I love them so much.
I am thankful for my church. Even though I feel like I stick out, they try to welcome me in. They share the Gospel so vividly that I come home with new hope.
I am thankful for my youth group. I have had many youht leaders and all of them have been so encouraging and helped me understand stuff I never had before.
I am thankful for my friends. All of them encourage me with their Testimonies. They lift me up and bring me down to earth with truths I never had thought of before.
I am thankful for my readers. Each one has encouraged me through the fact that you have come back even when I left.
Thank you.
