I cannot believe it!

As I told you last year, my dad had found a vacant lot with a bunch of roads and started teaching me how to drive a manual, then the city closed it up and put in a major highway. Well this year I may be behind the wheel again, but I wont be driving on a bunch of vacant roads, I may be driving to church, the store, etc.

Here in Texas you have to be fifteen to get your Learner's Permit, so last year when I turned fourteen my mom and dad decided to let me get a head start and picked up the Driver's Handbook so I could start studying. Yeah well that didn't work out so well, because once I started reading Chapter one I threw the book behind my back and said, "forget about it, I'll just wait 'til 2010 to read it then." I kept my word, but now I have two months and I'm only on Chapter five (which happens to be the longest chapter IN THE WORLD!)
So with the encouragement from my parents I am planning on getting my permit exactly on my fifteenth birthday, unless I fail the test.

I guess to sum this all up I'm really excited for April to come so I can take the test!

A new year update

We had a GREAT Christmas and are having a Blessed new year. Just thought I would share some of the things we did.

We went to Sea World, visited Shamu Clause and friends, and rode as many rides as we could :)

We went geocaching (this geocache was actually up in the tree).

Sydney was in a Christmas program at our church.

We had an awesome Christmas (our parents said it was going to be a small Christmas).

I received new clothes & penguin slippers + GLASSES!!!

I hope you all had a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful new year. Happy 2010!!!!

Zippy update

We are now back to one dog! Zippy just didn't work out, she wouldn't stop chewing on stuff, she wasn't learning that going potty in the house is not acceptable, and since we live in a rental, we thought it was better off that we didn't keep her (our landlord seems happier).

But she left with her cast off, but her departure broke Sydney's poor heart.

Pictures of our two dogs

I told you that I would post pictures of Sandy and Zippy, I hope you enjoy looking at them.

This is our first dog, Sandy, she likes obsessing over turtles!

This the newest member of our family, Zippy, she's the cutest thing ever!

I would have posted a picture of Alex, but he was to hyper, and we don't have him anymore, but that's a whole entire post of it's own!

Please pray ~ two more dogs!

I've never blogged about two things at once, so I thought I better give it a try. Just yesterday we had two mishaps happen in our family.

We have befriended the most adorable dog, and yesterday she was hit by a car. She made it, but her leg is definitely broken, and her owners don't care about her. After we get her leg fixed she will be part of our family. Please pray that she wont have to be put to sleep.

Thank you for keeping Zippy (the dog) in your prayers. Your prayers mean a whole lot!

We have opened our home to yet another dog, named Alex. He wasn't hit by a car, we actually found him on Craig's List for FREE! I like to call him "Slobber Monster" just as a nickname.

I am going to try to post pictures of our three dogs Sandy (our first dog), Zippy, and Alex next Saturday when Zippy's leg is fixed, hopefully!

Longtime no blog!

We have had alot of family time together recently! Sorry I haven't blogged in along time, so I hope I fill you in a little bit.

We bought a piano :)

Dad turned thirty-seven

We have finally received rain!

We have done many, many other things together! Sydney and I are taking piano lessons now, and for a beginner, she sure is playing beautifully!

Heavenbound?

Do you deserve to go to Heaven? Regardless of what your answer might be - take this short quiz ~ you might be surprised.

Have you ever stolen? Even if it was something really tiny? Then by God's standard that makes you a thief.

Have you ever killed anyone? Of course not, you'd be thrown in jail right? But according to the Bible, if you have ever hated anyone, you have already committed murder.

Have you ever committed adultery? According to God, if you so much as look at a boy with the wrong intent ~ you have committed adultery.

So by your own admission [and God's standards] your a lying, murdering, thieving, adulterer.

Welcome to the family! Yes, I am guilty of all these things too. You see, none of us are perfect, and we all sin.
Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God."

Therefore none of us deserve to go Heaven. It's when we decide to follow Christ and live our life for Him that our name is written in the Lambs Book of Life. God sent His son to be born of a virgin, to be persecuted for doing His father's business, and to die on the cross for all our sins.

John 14:6 Jesus said... “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

If you want to become part of God's Army, then you can say this prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to come into my heart. Please forgive me of all the sins I've committed against you. I have been walking in darkness, but I want to be part of Your army, in the Light. Thank you for coming into my heart, and thank you for Your forgiveness. I am ready to fight all the Giants that come in my way!

In Your precious Holy name I pray~ Amen.
