I'm Back in the Game

Alright, I know I haven't posted in forever, so I figured the best way to get back in the game was to play a round of Tag, and thanks to my mom, I'm it.


I am READY TO MOVE.

I think I'm going to puke if I eat anymore oatmeal cookie dough

I know I'm going to puke if I eat anymore oatmeal cookie dough

I want more than anything to visit Africa

I hate it when people are mean, because they can be.

I fear I'm not going to be able to finish this post

I feel anxious and excited to get outta here

I hear Jack Johnson playing in the Living Room, and birds outside the office window

I smell Beth's feet after she wears her Sperrys

I crave A warm Krispy Kream Doughnut

I search for missing papers. ALL THE TIME

I regret pulling Bethany off the top bunk ( she bit part of her lip off)

I love cooking with my mom

I ache for Levi when I walk past him playing alone and he says " come on Sarah " as he waves his little hand toward himself.

I care about the sweet, helpless children in Africa

I am not patient (AT ALL ! I MEAN IT! according to Bethany)

I believe that the boogieman lives on the top bunk

I sing all day long, and sometimes very loudly . Most of the time I don't realize how loud I'm singing until Bethany tells me she can hear me over the vacuum cleaner.

I cry when my mom is mad, or when something sad happens on The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie

I fight with myself A LOT

I write the beginning of a post but rarely finish it.

I win Skipbo almost every time I play against my mom


I lose Skipbo when I play against anyone else

I never want Daddy to take the remote from me, but he does anyway

I listen to music whenever I'm on the computer

I can usually be found with my mom

I'm scared of the sound of thunder by my window. ( I'm not scared OF thunder )

I need nothing

I'm happy about livin' 10 minuets from the beach!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO
HOOOOOOOOOOO

I hope that while we're in Florida we get our next sibling

I tag Aspen, and a girl who also needs to get back in the game, Taylor

Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt

This book is about four children, Dicey, James, Sammy and Maybeth, Whose mother abandoned them in a random mall parking lot. When they figured out that their mother wasn't coming back, the oldest Dicey decided that they would walk to their Aunt Cilla's House. So with $7.00 and a paper bag with clothing in it, they set of on an adventure that would change their lives forever. Unfortunately and fortunately for these children their story doesn't end at finding their aunt's house and living ever after. They will face a few more trials before they find their new home and live HAPPILY ever after.

There are three great lessons in this book.

1.stick together. NO MATTER WHAT!

2. use what you have, and don't worry about saving it for later if you need it now.

3.you should count on your family, and your family should be able to count on you.

When I Say I am a Christian

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'
I'm whispering " I was lost
but now I am forgiven

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confess that I stumble
And need Christ to be my guide.

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm week
And need his strength to carry on.

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
And need God to clean my mess.

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible
But, God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
So I call upon His name.

When I say..." I am a Christian"
I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner
Who received God's good Grace, Somehow!

Many Blessings
