What I am going to give of myself this Christmas(english)?
I just had a nice long post typed out, but I had put it on my other blog..oops, and lost it when I was trying to switch back. Anyways, I am going to give of my time and I am going to give it to God and my family. I am going to work at spending a considerable amount of time with God each day. These past few weeks have been busy and my devotions have been shorted, but I am going to work hard to having some meaningful time with God over break. I am also going to work at serving my family. I am going to work at doing things to help out my mom and hanging around with them. I love to hang around them and am going to work at showing them that. I am going to do some chores and clean my room and bathroom of all the clutter that is driving my parents insane..well, not in a literal sense of course. My grandparents are coming and I am going to give of my time and spend time with them. A lot of times when they come I go hang out with my friends or work, but i am going to try to spend time with them. I can’t wait for this Christmas. and I’m going to work at giving and focusing on others not me.

Kelly
Kelly
Kelly is so “mint”
She’s a basketball player-I think she’s good
I’m so glad she’s my friend
I stink at writing poems
They are not my forte
Back to Kelly, She is a very funny girl
We had lots of fun playing games on the bus
She can’t keep a secret though..well, not a silly one
I’m sure she’s good at keeping serious ones though..
Don’t tell her what your getting anyone for Christmas:)
She has really pretty hair
Not that you care..but really she does
Part of the dinks, they are super cool
She makes me laugh all the time
Well, now this poem must end..
Even though this poem stinks..Kelly doesn’t!!
I love you Kelly:)

Have you ever stood back and looked around at all the holiday bustle and business December brings? Have you ever looked beyond the anticipation of Christmas day to the bigger meaning of December? In just a few weeks the greatest birth that ever took place is going to be celebrated! Just think, if Christmas had never happened, we would be wretched sinners headed for hell with no hope of heaven. But our merciful, loving God decided to rescue us in our sad, desperate state and sent His only son to die for us. How would you like it if tomorrow your dad told you, Son (or daughter), your purpose on life is to die. I know I wouldn’t be all too happy, and I wouldn’t act like Jesus did. The decorations are great, the food is always delicious, opening presents is always fun, but there is something so much greater. There is a birthday that should be celebrated first, and a savior who should be worshipped above all.
So, amidst all the fun and excitement of Christmas, don’t forget the real reason of the season. Don’t let your heart become hardened to the greatest message of all time. Although this Christmas I know I am going to heaven, there are far more people who will spend this Christmas headed on a path to burn in hell.
Just something to think about…

Two hour delays..why?
Two hour delays..why?
There are certain occasions that call for a blog and this morning was one. I stayed up till around midnight last night working on homework. I then was supposed to get up and be at school at 7:15 to tutor, which meant I had to get up around 5:30. My dad came in to wake me up, and told me there was snow all over the ground. My first thought was two-hour delay yes!! But then I quickly remembered our school never has two-hour delays..why should today be different? Even when it was like -20 degrees outside and every other school in the state had a two hour delay, we still had to get up and stand outside to greet..so, I was pretty sure we wouldn’t have one. None of the other schools around here have one, and I watched the news for awhile. I got up and got all ready to go..I have a basketball game tonight, so I had to wear my cheerleading uniform and put my hair up. (It actually looked ok today..) I ate breakfast, and was about to walk out the door when my dad comes in and says we’re on a two-hour delay and that we are the only school. First of all, that is strange and second of all, I gave up valuable sleep time for no reason:) I was so mad..I wanted to sleep in so bad, but I had promised someone I would help them, and I knew I had to get up..so now, I’m sitting here, dressed, all ready to go and I have two hours..if my hair wasn’t up, I might actually have been able to sleep..but since it is I have to sit and stare wistfully at my soft, warm bed. I’m glad though because now I can finish up my homework..
If only they cancel school…ya right:)

Ice Skating
Ice Skating
I’m back..last night some people from my youth group and some people from Rossiville went ice skating. I had so much fun! I can’t remember the last time I blew my list of stuff I needed to do and went to hang out with people. I made some new friends and had fun with my old ones. I have decided I’m a really stinky skater..although I never fell and figured out how to turn in a circle! I was proud! but again..homework!

It’s official..
It’s official..
I’m addicted..here I sit writing away in my blog while my trig needs done, my micro report needs written, and my body needs sleeping. Mr.Harmless I have to thank and myself to blame for not focusing. But oh well..at least I’m only addicted to blogging and not to something that’s actually harmful. And since very few others keep up with their blogging, I must provide something new to read for those few that read my blog. so since I’ve posted 3 times today and I really do have much homework and have already make a fool of myself once tonight-I’m going to go.
I’m out..

Kayla-I am so super glad you came to Faith! You have become one of my closest friends and I am so thankful for you. Thanks for listening and for talking..I know I can always count on you for a laugh and for a serious conversation. Good luck with your “friend”, I know things will work out. Don’t ever doubt yourself. Sometimes I really hate cheerleading, but you always seem to make it seem all right. Thanks again for all you do..and I can’t wait for the next year and a half..it’s gonna be a blast! Finish out our junior year and then we’re gonna be big seniors! Keep smiling and don’t drink apple juice-it does weird things to you! I’m praying for you girl..I love you so much.
Eve-Although I have several blogs about you, this one is devoted to cheerleading. Thanks for doing it..I think I would have given up long ago if not for your “but she’s cute..” comments. You have inspired me and have become one good cheerleader:) And if not for your amazing sweet spirit, and desire to serve God I would probably hate you for it..but I love you..and just because your a better cheerleader aint gonna change that! Thanks for being my friend and for all the laughs..I will never forget the memories..Praying for you!!
I just gotta say..Juniors are pretty cool!

Holidays
Holidays
Thanksgiving has come and gone, the turkey has been stuffed and ate, the pies are gone. The shoppers fill the malls carrying package upon package, each with special purposes. Some snow has fallen, with the promise of more to come, “I’m Deaming of a White Christmas..” floats across people’s minds. Dear Santa letters’ have been written..
cookies are waiting to be baked, teachers are waiting to eat them:) school is winding down..exams are on the way. Friends, presents, get togethers with family, all that yummy food..Christmas is coming. And the most important reason for the season..a savior is born! So to echo a song..”It’s the most wonderful time of the year..”
I love this time of year!!:)
I’m out..

How I show I’m thankful..(English)
How I show I’m thankful..(English)
Mrs. Wiebe had as our blog topic for the week how do you show your thankful. It really got me thinking, do I show that I’m thankful. I mean, yeah at this time of year I can list off the many things I’m thankful for..the common expected answers-school, church, family, friends..but do I actually show I am thankful. And how could I show that. I kept thinking about that, and some convicting thoughts came across my mind. Do I show my teachers I am thankful for them when I keep talking in class after being told not to, or when I don’t turn in my homework, or when I don’t try my best..no, of course not, but yet that’s what I do..and then when Thanksgiving rolls around I say, “oh yeah, I’m thankful for my teachers” And how about my family..do I show them I am thankful for them..when I yell at my brother, or refuse to help out at home because I’m too busy. Or when I get mad at my parents..does that show how thankful I am for them? obviously, it does not. and my friends, am I showing my thankfulness towards them when I gossip, or leave them out. When I just always talk about me, or about my problems. And my relationship with God..it’s easy to say I’m thankful for that, but how often to I tell God I am thankful for it. and how often do I spend a meaningful amount of time in prayer and bible reading. Thanksgiving comes one scheduled day a year, but being thankful is a principle in God’s word that should be a part of our daily lives. I think I could use a lot of work on this area, I’ve got the saying I’m thankful done..but now I need the actions that back it up. In every pat Christian answer, I need to be able to say..yeah, I’m thankful for my teachers and I pay attention in class and listen to them and do my best..because that shows them I am truly thankful. I could go on and re-list all the areas I talked about, but I think you get my point. So, I hope you will work at showing your thankful by your actions, and I can tell you I certainly am..perhaps next year, I will be able to say that I show I am thankful by this this and this..but for now, sadly, I can only say I need to work on it.
