Lions, and tigers, and NO BLOGGING, OH MY!

Well I officially have not blogged for months! But I am getting back into the routine of it!

This beautiful November month has been amazing.

The beautiful weather, I love this time of year, it is just getting chilly enough where you need warm clothes.

Everyone is running around outside having a ball! It is so wonderful to play tennis in this weather, especially because you don't faint, from tennis courts that are 112 degrees. So that is nice. :) :) :)

We just went to the annual craft fair and it was WONDERFUL! There were so many booths we didn't even get half way through. We had Wilton cake decorating so we could not stay for that long.

We have so many wonderful things to be looking forward to and so many thingfs to be thankful for.

The Rennaisance fair is coming up and we recieved passes for the whole weekend which was nice. We are going with some friends which should be a blast! We all dress up in clothes from the rennisance times, which for girls you KNOW has got to be FUN! I will be SURE to post pictures of the dresses!

Grandparents are coming down from California so we will be visiting with them for a while, we are going to go to a 10 acre corn field that has corn over 6 feet high! They make a path through all of those acres of corn and you start at the beggining and PRAY that you make it out. (There are no bathrooms in the maze) :) :) :)
If you get lost you have a flag you raise and the "Maze Master" comes and RESCUES YOU! Haha!

You get a prize if you finish the trivia in the maze and if you finish the maze, which we have never succesfully done. :)

Hopefully this year we will have better luck!

I hope your November has been going as well as mine!

Blessings,

Sloan <><

Brad Stine (Lazy Christians)

So my friend introduced me to this christian comedian who is SOOOooOoo funny!

Watch this WHOLE video, the very end is the best.

Bootsie The Beetle Machine (turn the volume up so you can hear him)

Sooo, I know this is crazy to post, but it is just too funny, to me anyway.

So, Bootsie is KNOWN for his AMAZING purring ability, you could drop kick him and he would start to purr. It is quite funny.

So if you turn your volume up, you can hear him purr REALLY LOUD!!!!

Girls and Boys.....

Well, here I go bringing up a HUGE subject that is talked about on young Christian girls blogs quite a bit.


CAN'T GIRLS AND BOYS JUST BE FRIENDS?
=====================================================================================
My personal answer is yes they can be, but within reason of course! If you are not trained yet on how to behave properly around young men, THEN I think that it is dangerous to be friends with them. Flirtation happens, and affections start getting mixed up. Or, you meet with a young man and talk and act properly, HE still could not be trained and have an attraction towards you!

I think to be friends at a farther distance is better than a closer distance. I mean, What do you do when you are around a group of young people? You go to the girls group not the boys! Not that it is bad to, it's just that at a younger age, it is safer to not hurt anyone on either end if affections DO get mixed up.
====================================================================================♥

BUT WHAT ABOUT HAVING A BOYFRIEND?

These posts are what I personally think, and I do not judge anyone at all if they do something completely opposite of what I do. I am just sharing my thoughts on it, I thought you all might enjoy!

Wellll..... the boyfriend and girlfriend subject.

I will make it as simple and short as I can.

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard how young girls hearts were broken or young men's were.

Well to me it is like this, you start out with a whole complete heart, and when a boyfriend comes around a little piece of that heart is broken off and given to him. Then something happens and you break up and that little piece of heart is still missing. Then maybe another boyfriend comes around and a bigger piece is broken off and given to him and you break up and that little piece is missing as well.

Well, when you get married do you have a complete heart to give to your husband? Or, do you have a broken apart heart to offer?
===================================================================================♥

WELL THEN HOW DO I FIND MR. RIGHT? DON'T I NEED TO TRY AROUND?


God has a SPECIFIC plan for your life, and if you trust Him always and give your life to him, then you have absolutely, without a doubt, NOTHING to worry about. A HUGE turning point in my life was when I read Before You Meet Prince Charming by Sarah Malley.

I went through a phase about a year ago when I though and actually said, I am going to marry a man who is blank, blank, blank. Just like all young girls do really. I thought, I am going to marry a man who has money and can provide for me and etc, etc, etc.

Well I read the book and that changed my thoughts DRAMATICALLY!!!!

MATTHEW 6
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?

Why worry about something that is already taken care of right??!!!

I mean, I know it is hard right now not to think about it and dream about it, I am not saying that you shouldn't, but I AM saying that God already has a plan for you, and don't we want to follow His way and not our own?

Proverbs 3

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.


I would ABSOLOUTLEY LOVE to hear your thoughts on this subject!
Please leave a comment and tell me what you think!!

Poor Little Blog....

Here I go again saying that I have not posted in FOR EVER.

Well at least I am posting now right?!

Some random things...

1. We had left over scrambled eggs this morning so we gave them to our cats. Bootsie has not left the spot he is in right now all day, BECAUSE HE STUFFED HIMSELF!

2. My Mom's birthday is coming up September 26th and I am very excited for her!

3. A couple days ago Kate my baby sister got VERY jealous because I was holding and playing with another baby. She didn't understand because she usually gets all of my attention, and she IS only two! I put the other baby down and she came running crying into my arms and cried on my for a bit but then I got her happy and she was fine!

4. I have been a beading maniac and will list some of my newest pieces as soon as I can!

See ya!
