Things in life

I was on the computer and found these photos, I just looked at the pictures and started thinking about how amazing God is. He created the sun, clouds, water, air, just everything. Then I realized that I forget to thank him for the "common things", things that we see everyday. They become so "common", yet even the little things God sees as his creation, and big in His piece of art.

We as christians, sometimes forget to thank our Heavenly Father for everything He has done in our life, it becomes a routine, it's not suppose to be like that! We need to look at every thing, person, situation, day, nature, everything, is doesn't matter if it's just as shoe!, for He has provided us with it.

I, myself, sometimes fall in to the routine of this world and get really caught up, really busy and just go throuh the motions, and then I stop and say: Why is this going wrong, why this and that?. Then God says: "You are thinking wrong and acting wrong! You don't appreciate the things I give you; not just the material things, or family and friends, even nature. You are trying to do everything on your own! You are conforming to this world, you are too busy. Your inteligence is limited, you do your part I will do the rest."

Hello Everyone!

It´s been a long time since I´ve posted :P and people have been asking me "when are you going to post?" :) I haven't posted because I had no idea's :S, my mind had just gone white!!!

A few days ago I made a shell necklace it's really nice. My Great Aunt Bev. bought the kit for me when I went to Michigan (that was a few years back! and have just come around to making it :P ). It came with all the materials and instructions for how to make it, you can make your own design, it's really neat. Here is the photo of it! I hope you like it.

This is the one I made a few days ago.

This afternoon, I made 2 new necklaces and 2 bracelets, and 1 pair of earrings! I was bored, and had my box laying on the floor next to my book shelf (I hadn't put the box away after I was done making the one in the pic above, *I'm not the only teen that does this right??¿?* :P ). Anyway, I got inspired and started making the jewelry. I had some amazing fun, making the pattern and laying it out then redoing it because I had a better way to make it and so on... First I made a bracelet for a little girl in the church, every time she comes she stays with me the whole service until its time to go, she has been very attached to me from the beginning. I have known her for a very long time (7 years to be exact). She is a very sweet girl. I pray she will serve God all her life and be blessed by God. And one thing I know, she likes bracelets and necklaces and earrings, so I decided I was going to make her a bracelet, here is a pic of it.

I hope she comes tomorow! One thing I know, I will mis her very much when its time to go back to the US. :S

ANd this is the 2nd necklace I made: It's very plain yet elegant and feminine, I think thats what makes it pretty...It looks diffrent in the pic. :S with the right outfit it will be perfect.

The 3rd piece of jewelry I made is the one that has one shell and a BiG green bead, a little bronze bead and a black one. I have one the that is almost identicle to this one. I have made all my friends, here, one of these for their b-days... :D

This was my afternoon...Now this moring was fun, I went to prayer this morning and then, some of the teens from church went to the park, unfortunately no girls came :S, but I had alot of fun anyways. We did a race around the park, we had to take turns, for there where only 3 bikes and my dear brothers bike is too small, (only for little guys :S) and there were 3 of us that wanted to ride... then we went to American Airlines, to pay some kind of tax for my dad, who is traveling this coming week to the U.S., he is going to Oregon!! (normally you would pay this when you go to the airport, but they just passed a new law and now you pay at the agency *something like that*) then we came home about 1:30pm or so and had lunch! I was soo soo soo hungry!

This is what we had:

Chicken ---> MOM IT WAS DELICIOUS! WITH CAPITAL LETTERS AND MAJOR MONSTER : YUM YUM

Rice---> it was soo good with the gravy on it!

And MY FAVORITE VEGGi: GreEn BEaNs ---> I LOVE to eat this, it's sooo sooooooo gooD

BrEad---> it was fresh and so delish

Melon Juice---> it was very good.

and then.....then: Mommy made: ...···...···::CAKE! yum yum That was super good, >>Readers you will probably see the pic of this cake on her blog, so when she puts IT on, you will know! We had this with coffee its was super --wait-- SUPER DUPER MAjoR MONSTER GOOD YUM YUM X100 :P

This should have gone on the top, sorry I didn't plan to write this, but im thinking of food now because I'm kind of hunger :D :P and I got inspired to write so don't complain that I wrote too much! Well I'm going now, see you in the next post!!! I think it will be about modesty! BTW. Modesty is a style that never goes out, and you have no idea what guys say about girls when they dress modestly let me give you a phrase from a guy: We respect the girl or ladies who dress modestly, the the girl that doesn't...

Who's In Charge Here?

Dealing with Negative Peer Pressure

It can be as simple as your classmate asking you to copy your homework and as difficult as your friends
wanting you to try drugs for the first time. Negative peer pressure takes place when someone tells
you to do things that you know or feel is wrong, hurtful, or dangerous.

Words can hurt. Friends can make you feel so pressured into doing something, you feel you have no choice but to go with the flow. After all, who wants to be called "chicken"? They might tell you, "It's no big deal." or "Everyone's doing it."

THE BOTTOMLINE IS: If you do something because of what your friends say, Who's in control of You? It is during your teen years that you start gaining more personal freedom and are in the position to make more decisions by yourself FOR yourself. So who's in charge? If you LET them make up your mind, you're giving up that control.

If something feels wrong, it probably IS. YOU ARE IN CONTROL.

Lots of teens worry about not being liked and unpopular if they don't go with the flow. DON'T LET YOURSELF BE MANIPULATED.
Life is about making decisions and each decision you make will lead you down a different path.

Learn to make good decisions:

Weigh the pros and cons. Understand the negative consequences that can result from a decision YOU make. (By giving in to negative peer pressure, you might get grounded, you could lose people you thought were your friends, you could be put in jail.) trust yourself to make the responsible choice. Be honest with yourself. Are the risks involved worth damaging your own self-respect?
It takes guts to stand up for yourelf. At some point in time, you've got to assume responsibility for yourself. Why not start now?
Say it like you mean it!
When you tell your friend you won't do something you don't feel good about, speak with conviction. Speak with sincerity. You'll be surprised. By asserting yourself honestly and firmly, you might gain respect and admiration from your peers.
Remember you can always walk away and ignore them.
Actions sometimes speak louder than words. Do it casually. Do it confidently.
Remember, not all peer pressure is negative. Friends can lend a lot of positive support for each other too.

Check out this awesome story:

Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The LORD was with Joseph and he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.
From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
So he left in Joseph's care everything he had; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, "Come to bed with me!"
But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?"
And though she spoke to Joseph day after day, he refused to go to bed with her or even be with her.
One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside.
She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, she called her household servants. "Look," she said to them, "this Hebrew has been brought to us to make sport of us! He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed. When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house."
She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. Then she told him this story: "That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to make sport of me. But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house."
When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, "This is how your slave treated me," he burned with anger.
Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison, the LORD was with him; he showed him kindness and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.
So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.
The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.

Thought For The Day

"I am not interested in the past. I am interested
in the future, for that is where I plan on spending
the rest of my life."


"Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity." -- 1 Timothy 4:12

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." --2 Corinthians 4:18

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7

This is easy to read and tell yourself : "I will try to do this".

but it is not easy to put in action! but you can try your very best to all of these things

Save me God!
Im about to drown.
Im sinking deep in the mud,
and my feet are slipping.
Im about to swept by a mighty flood

Im worn out from crying,
and my throat is dry.
I have waited for you
still my eyes are blurred.
Psalms 69:1-3

This verse in the Bible, helps me pray for others that may be having a hard time in their life.
