In December of last year, my siblings and I made a kids' trip to Branson to stay with some friends (my brother Billy joined us for the trip but stayed with our friends while we went to Silver Dollar City).  We had such a great time at this fun theme park....it was amazing to be there during Christmas with all the lights!  

 I am so thankful to be part of our family :)

"My son, keep my words and treasure up my commandments with you;

keep my commandments and live; keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;

bind them on your fingers; write them on the tablet of your heart.  

Say to wisdom, "You are my sister," and call insight your intimate friend."

Proverbs 7:1-4

The blessing of friends~ Ephesians 4:29-32

A few months ago, me and some friends went for a special girls day out tea-party!

We got LOTS of fun pictures, but here are a few of my favorites! 

 "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

 Ephesians 4:29-32

Theme this week is........

Black and white photos! Enjoy :)

Beautiful Weather in Colorado

In February me and my family went to Love Land Colorado and went skiing! The weather, despite the freezing wind, was beautiful. All the snow swirled around us as we flew down the hill!

Exodus 14:14 
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

 "Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds."

Amy :: trees in the snow

I took this photo outside of our church after our 2nd snow of 12 inches a few weeks ago.  

It was so beautiful...now it is almost all gone, but we enjoyed it while it lasted!

For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
he stores up sound wisdom for the upright;

he is a shield to those who walk in integrity,
guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.

^{Proverbs 2:6-8}

Snow!

From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,

the name of the Lord is to be praised. Psalm 113:3

I took these pictures right after the big snow storm Kansas, as well as other states, received. We had around 1 foot of snow!  

A true blessing from the Lord!

The theme this week is.......

     One of my grandmother's favorite hobbies is china painting.  She is teaching my sisters and a few cousins and I how to paint wild roses.  This is a picture of my plate that is partly finished.  (After you paint the first time, you fire it in a kiln-something like an oven that reaches over 2000 degrees farenheit.  This makes the paint stay on so it won't wash off.  After that you paint another layer, fire it again and then paint and fire it a third time too.  Quite a process for beautiful china :)

I am so thankful for my grandmother and her willingness to work patiently with us and teach us something that she loves to do!  It is so special to have time with her. 

"But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;

let them ever sing for joy,

and spread Your protection over them,

that those who love Your name may exult in You.

For You bless the righteous, O LORD;

You cover him with favor as with a shield."

Psalm 5:11-12
