Berenstain Bears

But they are just so cute...


Well, it seems as though I had found no time at all to give to my blog over the past couple days. I have been saving money (for PARIS!!!!) and babysitting until I can't anymore.
 Awkward... my sister just came to me and said, "Arigato...Berenstain Bears is on." Great..now I'm tempted to go watch it...FOCUS!

 Anywho, the last few days have honestly been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I think putting them in a list would be best.

1. I applied for a job and the lady was delighted to meet me and said that she did have several open positions as a hostess...SCORE!

2. My Dad got a job!!!! An actual job, with paychecks and suits and fancy desks! He is now a...uhh...well... I actually don't know what he is but he is a very important person in the hospital. :)

3. My Dad suggested that I send one of my pictures into the Jones Pop company for them to put on their bottles, so we are currently in the process of that.

4. Maximus got a concussion. But that isn't the good part...you see the good part is that he is all better now and it only took him 2 days!

5. It is my Moms birthday tomorrow and I TOTALLY know what to get her!!

6. My sister is in a cast. ( a REALLLY funny looking one )

7. Mrs. Bieber and I went camping and holy cow...I am a pretty professional camper (No matter what Maximus says) There was even a thunderstorm and I survived. Impressive? I know.

8. I am in the process of completing my online summer school course.

9. My birthday is very soon and I know exactly what I want!!

10. Ten is nothing really, in fact I don't even have a 10, but in honor of Mr. Adrienne Monk, I feel as though I can't leave a list at simply 9.

Anyways, today I don't know what to do. I'll probably finish my course and then do some on-line shopping but then what? Sometimes summer can just be so frustrating, I feel as though I can't do anything when the truth is I have so much freedom to do whatever! Maybe it is because I have so many options that I am so frustrated.

This is always a dangerous place for me because I usually end up doing something crazy like completely re- arranging my room or making a batch of cookies, realizing how disgusting they are and then throwing them all out, therefore wasting about 25 dollars worth of food. Like that episode of Gilmore Girls when Paris has nothing to do but think, so Rory tells her to go do something crazy so she goes and gets her nose pierced! I would NEVER DO THAT akuna matata, but I just want something to do.

I'm not the kind of person who likes to "go with the flow" like I'm some sort of hippie. I like plans, calendars, and knowing exactly what to do each day of the week. I'm not some phycopath who is obssed with organization..I'm just...extremely fond of it!

Well then, this post was dedicated to my Auntamine because she has been telling me to write a post for SEVERAL days now, and we just finished Gilmore Girls season 3 which is apparently the best season to end it at, before people get stupid.

Until tomorrow,
Arigato Bloggers. :)

P.S. This is the poster I want to get for my room...isn't it perfect?

I LOVE this !

The second half :)

So, on Wednesday night at my ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CHURCH called "Third Day Worship Center" our Pastor preached a message that I really learned a lot from. he said that on July 1st (Canada day) we are exactly HALF-WAY through the year, now before you go all crazy and think about how we are in the last days before an alien invasion in which zombies take over and the whole world ends in 2012 or whatever the false prophets say, Pastor gave it a whole new meaning and I learned a lot from it.

He said that this half way is going to be a turning point for us. He said that even though we may have messed up, and made wrong decisions in the first half, Gods grace is available to us and he is here to forgive us of our sins only if we repent and turn from them.

He used the story of "The Prodigal Son" to depict exactly what God has to offer us in the second half. In the first half of this story,the Son messed up bad. And I mean BAAAAAD like, I'm so horribly un-wise with my money that I now have to eat with the pigs BAAAAAD. But listen and understand this...that was the first half.


In the second half of the story when the son returned home to repent of his sins, come clean, and ask that his father give him another chance, his father said, "No son, you wretched young boy. You stupid and unworthy man." NO HE DIDN'T SAY THAT!!!


HE HAD A CELEBRATION!!! They killed the fattened calf for goodness sakes people! God has that for you!  (not a fattened calf) but something better! he has his grace, his amazing grace. He is willing to forgive you and give you a second chance, because not only is He the God of second chances, but he loves YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! I mean, I can't even comprehend. All you have to do is ASK for forgiveness, TURN from your wicked ways, and CHANGE.

Everything is always better is the second half, movies, sports, games. So let the rest of 2011 be the best AND LIVE IT UP... for him <3 Your one and only Savior.

They played a song last night, and it is honestly just loving on God and telling him how much you love him. Instead of a song in which you just keep asking God, in this song you praise Him. so stop what your doing and just love on him for a couple minutes or hours LOVE ON HIM YOUR WHOLE LIFE because his grace came with no price and I am certain that none of us deserve it.

Go to youtube and look-up "We Love Who You Are"
I would post a link...but I am still blog-challenged.

P.S. Check out my new part on Shift at the bottom of my blog! (I'll explain it all later, but I have to go to bed!)

Your Grace...still amazes me.

Birthday of one of the finest :)

So, today is someones birthday. Actually, I am sure that it is many people out there's bithday today but someone VERY SPECIAL to me is having a birthday today and this post is dedicated to her. Her name is Phoebus. Okay, okay so that isn't her actual name but I figure that it makes a great nickname for her.

Pheobus means soooo much to me! She is 25 today which therefore makes her my FAVORITE 25 YEAR OLD IN THE WHOLE WORLD! That is, until next year when she turns 26. :) She is one of the funniest, quirkiest, most enjoyable person I know and she is beautiful inside and out! She makes me laugh whenever I am to down to laugh and together we make a great team, laughing at eachothers mistakes and helping eachother through the best and worst of times.

Pheobus is the older sister I never had and I love her to pieces. I hope that this is the best birthday ever Pheobus and  love you so much! <3
