A Psalm of Praise and Thankfulness for my brothers and sister

The Lord Is merciful
He shows mercy to all of his children
God shows His loving Mercy with blessings and second chances

We praise and honor you Lord with your blessings
I praise and thank you for my blessing of Friends for life

When in the hours I thought we couldn't be friends
Holy Spirit you filled inside of me and comforted me

Now I thank you Lord for my new Friends
Even though we are sometimes enemies, thanks to you God we get through it

Even when I think our friendship is on a hook
I pray and holy Spirit You fill our hearts with Thankfulness for each other


My Gracious, Merciful, Loving , Perfect, Just, and forgiving God has given me more than my fair share of second chances with my Friends for Life
When we argue and yell
When we stomp off in hate
Thank you God I still Have my Friends for Life

A Psalm by Sarah Jay

GOAL

Hey everyone, I have great news. We have surpassed our goal to purchase 2 goats! I know of more people who are interested in participating, so let's shoot for 3 goats. I would like to thank my Aunt Shelley, my Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Tom, my cousin Maggie, my Aunt Shelley's friends Norm Murphy and Cindy Jackson. I also want to thank my Mom and Dad, Flicker of Hope, and my Granny and Papaw. Thank you guys so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to puchase the goats.

Goats for LIFE

The early-morning bleating of a dairy goat is a happy sound for children in countries like Haiti and Malawi. They know it’s ready to be milked! A goat nourishes a family with fresh milk, cheese, and yogurt, and can offer a much-needed income boost by providing offspring and extra dairy products for sale at the market. It even provides fertilizer that can dramatically increase crop yields. A perennial favorite, both to give and receive!
Alright, here it is. A few weeks ago I went to a Casting Crowns concert in Birmingham, and the lead singer of Casting Crowns started talking about this organization called World Vision. To be totally honest I didn't really think much about it after the concert, but the other day we got a World Vision catalog in the mail. THAT GOT ME GOING! As I was looking through the catalog I was brain storming, so now I have so many projects I want to do. Oh, sorry you might be wondering what World Vision is. Well, it's an organization that does projects around the world, like build wells, houses ,and schools, and provide tools for impoverished families around the world to have a better life. They do a lot more than what I just said, but you can go to the World Vision website to get more information. Anyways, like I said I have so many projects I want to do, but I'm just starting with two. One of them is buying chickens through World Vision in honor of my family and friends for Christmas instead of buying them presents. Another, which I hope you will help me with, is the purchase of a pair of goats to give to a family or village. When you buy things through world Vision you don't receive them. World Vision sends them where they're needed, like poor villages, families in poverty around the world. To the right there is a place where you can make a donation using a Pay Pal account or credit card to help me with this goal.
I will post when we have made enough money to get the goats.

thankfulness

Are you still complaining?Observe around you and be thankful for all that you have in this Transitory Lifetime...We are fortunate, we have much more than we need to be content.Let's try not to feed this endless cycle of consumerism and Immorality in which this "modern and advanced" society forgets and ignores the other 2/3rds of our brothers and sisters.
LET US COMPLAIN LESS AND GIVE MORE!!

I'm fixing things one thing at a time. I hope you like it when it's done.

Just a little giggle for ya. :D

As you might know there have been tons of wild fires in California. The sad thing is , is that they're not only burning the woods, they're in the cities too. The fires are getting houses and everything. Just a quick reminder to pray for them:D

Thanks,
*Sarah*

Isn't he pretty!! :0)

Baby lizard on Beth's hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUR TOAD :0)

This is Flower our spider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Front Porch

So here it is, flat out. We have a front porch zoo:0) First, all we had or all we knew we had was a spider and a lizard here and there, but one day our spider was GONE!!!!!!!! We didn't think that would ever happen , so we were pretty disappointed. Later that day my mom was outside watering her plants, and I was inside. Suddenly I heard a scream , so I ran outside to see what happened. When I got outside my mom was staring at her fern, I asked her what happened and she pointed at the fern and told me there was a big toad behind it. I ran in and yelled for the other kids, and they came running down the hall screaming "A TOAD A TOAD A TOAD". After a few minutes of jumping and screaming, my mom said " The toad ate our spider, YES it totally makes sense!!!!!!!" We all knew it did, but we were still sad our friend was gone. Yet again, later that day Beth and Sam saw that Flower a.k.a our spider, had crawled up on the roof to lay her eggs. Isn't it cool how thing happen?
We also have a baby lizard.
I will post pics:0)

More Vaca Pics

You should be able to tell the Gulf pics from the Bay pics.

Florida Vaca pics

Florida Vaca.

This past week has been sooooo much fun! Do you know why? I don't think so! That is why I'm telling you. It all started Sunday night. My mom, grandma, sister, brother's, and I all packed up our stuff. The next morning we were out of the house and heading to Destin FL. before nine, which is quite an achievement. It took about three hours to get there, then the fun really began.
After we unloaded the car, we headed out to the bay, which was right across from the Gulf.

The bay was nice and calm, so all we had to do with Levi was stick him in his water wings and watch him float. He could stand too but he preferred to float. We went to the gulf once, but we weren't aloud to boogie board because the rip current was too strong. Even though we couldn't boogie board we still had fun, because Beth brought her net. She caught a blow fish. It was soo funny. Our sunburns were so bad that we ended up going back to our cabin after about an hour. We went to the Bay that evening. It's nice out side in the evening. The last day there was soooo much fun. We didn't go to the beach that morning. We went shopping and out to lunch. We hung out at the beach from about 3 to 8. like I said it is so nice there in the evening. After we ate we wanted to straighten Sam's Hair. So we did. It looked so wrong.

On friday morning we cleaned our cabin, and packed up. We got home at maybe 2:30.

E.R.

My grandma had been here one day, and as usual Levi had run off to some part of the house. My mom was in my room getting Levi, and the next thing we know Mom is yelling "HELP! HELP! HELP!"
Beth and I run into the room to see what's going on, and we see Levi barfing pink foam. Mom asked if there was anything in there that could have made him do that. We start looking around for anything, and Beth finds an open bottle of Benadryl. We knew that that was what he had gotten into. We were all panicking. My mom was shouting for my dad, and I was calling 911, Levi is still barfing, and Beth and Sam are in the extra room balling. A few minutes later Levi stops puking and an ambulance comes. Fire fighters come in and take a blood test and take him to the Emergency Room. My mom got to ride in the ambulance with Levi, and my dad followed them in his Jeep. We had to stay home with my Grandma. It was a good thing that we did, because they were gone for about three and a half hours. When mom, Dad, and Levi finally got home Levi was out. That was an experience I don't want to live again!

Bounce'n Bear

My grandma is visiting my family for a few weeks. She got here earlier today. When we unloaded her car we saw that she had brought a big teddy bear. It was bigger than Levi.

A few minutes later Beth and Sam were playing with the other stuffed animals Grandma had brought. Levi decided he wanted to play to, so he started knocking on their door. He just stood there knocking,so finally I opened the door from the outside. They wouldn't even let him in. Any way he got bribed out with the big bear. Levi came into the living room where My mom , Grandma , and I were talking, and he starts bouncing on the bear like it was one of those balls with the handle or something. It was soooo funny! Levi just can make anyone laugh.

Josh Groban and African Children's Choir- You Raise Me Up

This song is powerful and uplifting! WARNING MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY!

Sorry for the "American Idol" thing. It was the best thing I could find

iPOD

As some of you already know, my birthday was a few days ago. I got a some nice things, but one thing I am really hyped up about is my new iPOD. My sibs and I can listen to it for hours.

Levi, Sam, and Beth really like it and are always asking to listen to it by themselves, because when one person listens everyone does. I have a lot of songs on it, but I think the favorite song is

White and Nerdy. (pretty funny isn't it ?) . Levi even knows the words to that song, so he sings and dances. If we want entertainment we play White and Nerdy where Levi can hear it. We have so much fun with that thing.

Fixed it

Hey guys,
I fixed the blog so people can comment now.
Sorry for any trouble.

Canoe Trip

On "about me" I said I enjoy youth group, and that we went on alot of trips.
Well a couple of days ago I went to Cold Water Creek to canoe with the youth group. It was so much fun. We canoed seven miles. The leaders said there might be snakes. I didn't see any, but there were a couple of girls that saw one. They were in a canoe together. It was pretty funny watching them scream and jump out of their boat. It made it more funny because I didn't have to see it, if I had, I probably would have done the same thing. At the end my fingers were so sore I couldn't snap for a while.

Sorry I don't heave any pics to show you.

My Sibs

My siblings are about as good as they come. They are the perfect balance between sweet and rotten. I love them very much. They also take the cutest pics , as you can see. We all wrestle and play, and we get along most of the time. NOW.



Levi is 2 now,but he thinks he's 7 like his bro.



Sam is the coolest 7 year old I know. He is in swim lessons and doing great!




Beth is starting to babysit. It so much fun to watch , she is so cute!


Once again I love them very much. , and I would do anything for them.
