My Beautiful Baby Sister!

My little Kate also known as (Lucy) my nick name for her, being SUCH a good mommy to her baby. She loves her babies! Isn't is amazing how mothering is put into babies at such a young age?!
Psalm 127: 3-5
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shamewhen he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

"Jig"

This song is called "Jig" and it is a song I learned years ago but even today I still like it just the same!

"Dawn" from Pride and Prejudice

Well here is HALF of "Dawn" from Pride and Prejudice. It is a VERY pretty song and I can't wait to finish it! It is such a loonnnggg song so I will be VERY happy when it is completed!

Owoooo!!!

Today I had tennis and it was PAINFUL!!! I threw my neck out yesterday and it hurts sooo bad!
My mom said to me you better not play tennis your neck is going to get a LOT worse than it is already. But I just had to go and play tennis. I have a question... HOW COME MOM'S ARE ALWAYS RIGHT???!!!! I guess because they are Mom's. :o)

You can do all things through Christ who Strengthens you!

Well, about a week ago I was in one of my group tennis classes, and we all had partners we were playing against. I was playing very well at first but then things started to go DOWN HILL! My opponent was CrUsHiNg me. I started to completely give up. That is one of my biggest problems with tennis. After my opponent is ahead of me I start to give up. That is probably one of the worst problems to have if you are a tennis player. Your opponent is most likely going to be ahead of you a few times during the game. Well anyway it was getting to the point where I was ACTUALLY missing the ball with my racquet. Yep, it was bad trust me. Anyway I am running around to the other side of the court when my coach stops me and says, "Sloan what are you doing??!!" I said I CAN'T HIT IT!!!! He said "Yes you can, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!" I immediatley was powered up and ready to let my racquet do the talking. :o) I came back and was awesome. The point of my story is sometimes I give up too easily, not just with tennis. Every time I feel like I'm about to give up I think about what my coach said to me that day. Don't give up people! YOU CAN DO ALL THE THROUGH CHRIST WHO STERNGTHENS YOU!!!

Little L

Last night Lauren slept in my bed with me. We were both just laying there until I hear her say, "Do you want to know the 3 words I dislike the most?" I said sure. She said, "You are too little, you already had something to eat, and no piano right now." I couldn't help but BURST OUT LAUGHING! If there is one person in our family who can make you laugh the hardest, that would be Lauren. She then asked me what mine were and I said, " The word no, no computer, and the words TIME TO GET UP!" Well I guess there are words that we can sometimes not want to hear, but It's best to always embrace them and move on. I have been trying to be better at that specific situation. A good friend once told me "I always accept what my parents answers are, even if I don't like what they are because I know they are trying to do what's best for me!" I cannot tell you how that hit me. I have ALWAYS remembered that until this day. But I must say that sometimes I do not react so well when my parents give me an answer that I don't like. The Lord says in Proverbs 1:8 "Listen my son to you father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching." BAM! There you go! Could it be anymore clear??? I challenge you next time your parents give you an answer,even though you may not like the answer, think of this scripture in the Bible, and I will try to next time too!
