The Weekend!!

Happy Friday!! The day where we stay up late, finish up all the school work for the weekend, watch movies, play games, and spend time with family and friends. This week was awesome! Monday we did school.... and then pretty much just chilled in the afternoon. Tuesday..... School..... and then we had alot of fun at Drama Class, with some Amazing Friends!! :) Wednesday..... School...... the kids went to Awana, and we went to Bible Study. This week's Bible Study was prayer night which was amazing. We also learned an African song, (earlier this month, some friends of ours went to Shone, Ethiopia which is in Africa and learned this song while they were their so they taught it to us.) That was awesome to learn. Thursday.... Mom's birthday!!! We are so blessed to have an awesome Mom like her. And then Thursday of course..... School.... and then we headed back to Drama Class, and worked on the music for the play. Yes its a musical!! Well that's all for now and I will leave you with one of my favorite bible passages:

Isaiah 40:28-31:

²⁸ Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
     his understanding is unsearchable.
²⁹ He gives power to the faint,
    and to him who has no might he increases strength.
³⁰ Even youths shall faint and be weary,
    and young men shall fall exhausted;
³¹ but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
    they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
    they shall walk and not faint.

Have an awesome weekend,

So without further ado, here is the amazing "Fuzzy Bunnies in the Pool".

My Blog!!

I am so excited about starting this blog!! I never thought about doing one before, but lately I have wanted to do one alot. I will try and keep this blog updated as much as I can, but can't promise that I will always remember to update it. This week my sister got home from college! It has been awesome having her back on Spring Break. But its hard to believe there is only one day left. :( Time flies when we are having fun. It's hard to believe how fast these past two years have gone. It feels like a couple weeks since we started doing school, and its getting close to summer! College. Something I don't think about very often, as it's far away in my future, yet as quickly as time flies I better start preparing now! :) Well the first blog post is always the hardest so I will leave you with some lyrics to I song I really enjoy: 

Speak, O Lord 

First Verse: Speak O Lord, as we come to You, 

                  to receive the food, of Your Holy Word.

                  Take Your Truth, plant it deep in us;

                  Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,

                  That the light of Christ might be seen today,

                  In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.

                  Speak O Lord and fulfill in us, all your purposes

                  for Your glory.

Second Verse: Teach us, Lord, full obedience, Holy reverence,

                        true humility. Test our thoughts and our attitudes,

                       in the radiance, of your purity. Cause our faith to rise, 

                       cause our eyes to see, Your majestic love and authority.

                       Words of power that can never fail; Let their truth prevail,

                       over unbelief.

Third Verse: Speak O Lord and renew our minds; Help us grasp the heights,

                    of your plans for us. Truths unchanged from the dawn of time, 

                    that will echo down through eternity. Andy by grace we'll stand on Your

                    promises; And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.  

                    Speak O Lord, and fulfill in us, all your purposes for your glory.
