Believe it, He knows what is going to happen in the future.

The Last Smiley Saturday

     I have missed the last 4 weeks doing this, so instead of doing smiley Saturday I will just do a post when I remember or want to write about something okay?
     On to this, ever had a day where is just a normal day then BAMMMM something happens and it messes your whole day up? Well, one time it was a normal day at school. Most of the teachers were at Disney for blue ribbon so we had a lot of subs. So, everyone all came back from PE band, or choir to go to another class because that period was over. As we make our way to the 6th grade hallway, the teachers were blocking it. We all crowded in the gym lobby anxious, confused, and wondering what happened. Come to find out that one of our subs collapsed from pain of something. I don't know exactly what happened but I do know there was an ambulance at school. It was pretty crazy.
    Another example was just like an hour ago when my older brother was going to work only to find that someone broke into his car and stole a rifle, and we had to call the cops. You know, the most strangest things can happen.
     So I just wanted to share weird stuff like that. BYE!!!

Smiley Saturday

     Hello, so today I'm going to talk about operation Christmas child. Where you take a shoebox and pack it with toys that you buy. Then, operation Christmas child takes it across the world and they give it to children who don't have nice things. We packed two like 10 minutes ago. It was pretty cool. What I put in mine for a girl was.....
1. A stuffed bear
2. A slinky
3. Chapstick
4. Pencils
5 . Crayons
6. Whistle
7. Bobby pins
8. And paper

     When the kids are opening the boxes, people are talking about God to them. The boxes are really the bait so they will come and hear about Jesus.

Smiley Saturday

     Hello everyone, it's Saturday and I am going to talk about world vision. World vision is something we just started doing. What we do is we can right a letter to our sponsor, we can pray for our sponsor, we pay money to support our sponsor.
     We sponsor a little boy named Alex Riquelmer, he lives in Honduras and he is 6 years old. I really love the idea of helping a needy boy! I think everyone should sponsor. It is a awesome program and I think these kids really need it.
     I don't have too much to say so I will show a video that kinda ties into this

Smiley Saturday

     So I skipped last week and I'm sorry, I totally forgot! So I'm definitely doing this week!
So, sometimes, we, as humans, feel like a day is just another day. Like, there is no purpose. I sometimes feel like everything is a routine and nothing is ever exciting. We go through the week at work, school or whatever. Then a two day weekend, I think that's too short. Well, you can change that. At school, work, wherever. You can make the day all about you, or you can make people feel great and act like Jesus. Because that's what he wants you to do. That might make you feel good about your day. Other people feel bored and tired too. If someone just walked up and said something like your hair looks good. That will make you feel better.
     You can also serve to make you happy. I serve at my church a lot. I love it! I feel like I'm doing something better than  siting at a desk all day. You can do something easy, like going to the manna house every now or then. Or do something good like recycle, sponsor a child,  or donate to the care center. Lots of stuff you can do to reflect Jesus.

Smiley Saturday

     Hi, so it's Saturday, the weekend. I love weekends because I get to sleep in and I an NOT a morning person. So I'm sitting on the couch watching the auburn football game. I'm next to my grandmother who reads this every time I write, she doesn't know that I'm writing about her in this, but she'll find out! Our team is losing! I'm mad at that, but oh well.
     Ok, so we have all sinned, ain't no doubt about it! :) But I can guarantee you  that you don't think the first thing you say is, oh I need to ask God for forgiveness and I'm so upset I did that, Don't act like you do because you don't, neither do I. We all make mistakes and after we ask God for forgiveness we have a hard time forgiving ourselves. If you really felt bad, you would probably still think about what you did because sin erases in God's mind when you ask for forgiveness, but not yours. We have to accept the fact that we are only human and everyone around us has sinned. Jesus dies for our sins, so we should ask for forgiveness and forgive ourselves, I promise Jesus didn't die for nothing. He did it for YOU and ME! Because he loves us that much.

Here is a little video that ties into this.

Let's make this Smiley Saturday

     I have been having trouble writing on Friday so I'll change this to smiley Saturday. So I have thought about this for a while and only came up with a topic a second ago. Let's talk about how tough is really is being Christians. As Christians we fall under temptation, we have to always stay true to God even when we feel like he isn't there, like he has other things to do. I feel like that all the time. I have to understand that he is always there for me, I have to have faith in Him. The faith Christians have for God is stronger than anything. Think about it, we have faith in something we can't see, feel, or hear. That faith says a lot about us doesn't it. We are pretty awesome to have that faith. Even though we still fall under temptation. Say you were falling at 1,000 miles per hour, and someone put the softest, biggest bed under you to break your fall. You would still have a few bruises, but you are still alive. Kind of like Jesus, he saves us on the cross, that doesn't mean bad things won't happen and there will not be sadness, but He is with us 24/7. Cool right! We are pretty strong with Him. We are unstoppable with him.

 Well here is another little song.

Friday Yeah!!! Wait no it's not is Saturday

     Hello, it is Saturday. Sorry I didn't do this earlier but I spent yesterday at my friends.
 So, did someone make you mad you this week, well someone did irritate me. Maybe that person  has a bigger problem that you. Something's going on in their life. You have been told to pray for them, and you should! A prayer is so powerful and can change a persons life. Also, why don't say nice things and act like Jesus. Being nice can turn someone's day around. For real. Are you afraid? If you are, WHY! That person needs someone to turn their day around because they are humans too! Yes they might shoot you down, but I can guarantee you they really do care. They probably will feel awkward, but that's ok because you tried!

Luke 6:27-28 says
But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.

Wow, that seems hard right but just try it and eventually you will get better!
Bye

Friday

     Sorry I didn't do this earlier but I couldn't. So this week was long, seems like every day there is nothing to really look forward to exept the weekend. You just go through and count down the hours until you can leave. Agreed? Well, maybe that's not the case for you but sometimes is it for me. You just do what you have to do with no purpose, because you just don't want to jazz up your day or you just feel awful and you want to disappear, I know it's ok. It doesn't have to be that way you can be goofy and weird and have fun, because you can. Fun, is a word that can be used in a wrong way or a right way, you know what I'm talking about. But you have the freedom to be awesome!

Introducing....... FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!

     Hey, so it's Friday, finally. The moment you wake up on Monday morning the first thing I think is, "I wish it was Friday". Now it is YAAAyYYy I'm hoping to convince my mom to take us and some friends to go eat frozen yougurt.
     This week was pretty laid back so I don't know what to write about. I will just make this a journal entry and not a opinative post. So this week I have encountered another week and I'm happy because today was a half day of school, oh wait the tv gave me an idea, hang on hang on.

Fra Fra Fra Friday

     Hey, so, it's Friday!!! Yay! Let me just get to this. Society makes us think that the most inappropriate clothes we put on our body is just plain awesome, or the more skin that's visible the better, or the most expensive clothes make up who you are, but noooooo, it doesn't work that way. We are just pain awesome and of course you'll mess up but that's normal. Back to society, society gets in your head and, to me, it almost seems like they want you to feel all messed up. Noooooooooo we have to ignore that stuff, and focus on what really matters GOD. Now you have heard all of this before. It's like society takes every magazine and smacks you in the face until you get so  insecure when you don't have to be. The bible tells that we don't have to be insecure because there is no flaw in you and your PERFECT!!!
     My advise would be wear appropriate clothes and just be nice and kind so you feel good about yourself and others can too!!!
     Just dress the opposite of Miley Cyrus at the VMAS and respect yourself and you'll be feeling great about yourself, and if you still don't, just flat out pray over and over till you notice a change in your life.

Friday Friday

     This week was a MESS!!!!!!!!!!! I went to the animal hospital for my cousins dog, played in a brand new pool, and went to the mall twice! Anyway God was with me the whole time no matter how many tears we shed in the animal hospital, or how angry I got and prayed for forgiveness so many times I felt so bad. Oh my! Everyday I said to myself, " I can't wait to go to bed" or, " very soon I will be in bed"
     So my bible verse for this week is
She is clothed in strength and dignity, she laughs without fear of the future.
Proverbs 31:25

     Just my girly verse for the week.
So God was with me the whole time I was going through this week and He is not dead
He is pretty awesome!!!!!

Friday

It's finally Friday

Hi, I am so sorry I did not write this earlier, but we had friends over. So this week was the first week of school. I had middle school for the first time, but I had a lot of fun and it is a lot different from elementary school. So I have some advice for people who are starting school, know that God is right next to you and he will be with you the whole time you were going through your school day. So, I know that as soon as you get to school you wanted to be Friday, And it finally is. Don't you just love friends that are so sweet, friends will be with you while you go through school. Also every person in America has to go through school just like you so do not be afraid.

So....

     I'm am thinking about doing a post every Friday called "Finally Friday" Bye!

Reality TV

Did you ever realize that usually in every reality television show someone is going to swear. The only shows I can think of that don't swear are Kate+8 and Duck Dynasty. I mean really, you know they call it reality tv for a reason and everyone is so so so so so so dramatic and fake. The reason I'm blogging this is because I'm watching Dance Moms, and really! That's all I have to say!

School starts soon

     So school starts soon and I'm pretty sure most people don't want it to start though. Haha I just watched a funny commercial, don't you love those! Anyway I'm pretty sure most people don't like it because you have to get up early and work. Not that I'm causing anyone because I'm guilty of this to. Everyone has to do it. We have to suck it up and go learn. I would love to sleep in, that makes me happy, but I will be glad later I went.
     Here is a song to cheer you up about going to school that I'm sure you have heard before!
http://youtu.be/H7HmzwI67ec

Your Superhero

     Have you ever felt, you know, worthless? Yes? Well that's normal I'm pretty sure everyone has felt that way, because I have, other people I have talked to have! I know I know you have heard something like this before, but have you ever thought about it, for real? You are human, you have a beating heart, feelings, and........ YOU ARE LOVED BY THE ONE THE ONLY GOD!!!! Let me put it this way, think of your favorite singer, have you got it? Ok, now picture them loving you, protecting you, and talking to them whenever you are in need. Now think of how big God is! He protects us and loves us!
     If your a book worm, he has the #1 best selling book! If your a music person, like me, people write all these inspiring songs about our God! If you feel like the world doesn't have time for you crack open your bible and look up these verses.
Jerimiah 29:11
Song of Solomon 4:7
1 Peter 3:3-4
Mathew 19:14
     God loved you so much he sent his one and only son to die on the cross. If your thinking that he doesn't love you and that he lied about everything, than this is what your thinking, the whole Jesus thing is a lie and oh he also lied about his love even though he tells us not to lie in the Ten Commandments, and he wrote all these verses just to make me feel bad for being me, and everyone is perfect exept me!   If that's what your thinking you need to spend some time with your bible because He loves you and me!! We can't escape from his everlasting love, no matter what you or someone else says he loves you, and he thinks you are worth more that GOLD
       Here is one of my favorite songs someone I know told me about!!!!

Wonder

     I finished reading my summer read Wonder by R.J Palacio. I really like it. It is about a boy named August who is extraordinary because he has a facial deformity problem, and he starts to go to public school. He wonders how the kids will act around him.

What's up guys

Hey guys I just wanted to let you know that now it is summer I am now a middle schooler. Am I excited? Well kind of. Anyway I have had a lot of fun this summer swimming with my friends staying up late and sleeping in. I went to Camp Maranatha with my vacation Bible school group, it was very fun they had a zip line and a big swing where they hook you up to a harness and hold you up as tall as a tree and then drop you. I am looking forward to the rest of the summer. I am excited because we will go to the beach, I still don't know when but I'm excited. Oh, and I forgot to mention, I do not have to wear rubber bands anymore. More later, bye!!!!
P.S. if you want to you can comment what you are doing this summer!!

Newsflash

Ok, just so you know I'm not officially a middle schooler but close. I'm excited, but sad to leave my school.

How to do Cups

I hope this helps, comment if you have questions!

1,000 views!!!

     Hi guys, I'm am proud to announce that we have reached over 1,000 views!!! That makes me so happy. I have always had a love for writing. It's a way to talk in a different way, it is hard to explain. I feel like I'm not the only one getting older and going into middle school. This is a way to tell how I feel and see what other people think. My relationship has grown with God and I can share about it here.

No more pennies

Oh my gosh, I just found out they will stop making pennies because they cost too much money and we are in a lot of debt!
I am saving my pennies!

Space camp

I went to space camp! I learned about space and I rode the rides like space shot 5 times. That was fun.
We had a mission in space we completed, we built model rockets, we rode g-force, we did a moon walk, we rode in a machine chair that moves you, we played jeopardy, and had fun!

Who let the dogs out!!!

My family and my cousins got puppies! They are mixes of a shih-tzu and a Yorkie, a Shorkie!

They are tiny and ours was the smallest. 

I got rubber bands

     About a week ago I got rubber bands on my braces to line my teeth up. They have diffrent colors and they are smaller than a dime. The first day it hurt a little but it felt worse because I got to bigger wires on the top. and a rubber band was holding that together. It hurt! Now it dosen't hurt the first week the worse.

Logic Problem

Logic Problem Story

I wanted to see if my parents could figure out a logic problem I solved at school. I'll post problem later

Katie: Mom and Dad do you want to try to do a logic problem I did at S.P.A.C.E.?

( mom and dad nodded, I went to get supplies)

Katie: Ok, so, you have to get the triangle of pennies to face you by only moving 3 pennies.

Mom: ok

(dad nodded)

Silence
(when Philip squatted on the coffee table he fell back and smacked his hand in mom's eye, she if fine)
( I was failing to hold back my laughing as I quietly laughed to myself)
silence
silence

Katie: Philip, let me show you how to do it.

( took him in the office and showed him it)

Silence
Silence


Dad: I don't know Katie

Mom: Me either

Katie: want me to show or give a hint.

Philip: I'll show them

Katie: Show you or hint

Dad: It don't matter

( showed them the answer )

Student Council President

      As most of you know this is my 5th grade year. My school's new counselor decided to have an election for student council. I knew I wanted to be president but I didn't want to admit it, I had thoughts about being embarrassed if I lost, but what if I won. I took it upon myself to fill out the form and hand it in. When I let go of the form I thought that this is it, here we go, this will effect my 5th grade year for better or for worse. I waited and waited and I prayed and prayed. Then all the people that where running had to go to a lunch meeting, I walked in and sat at the president section and counted all the people, 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11. 11 people running against me.
     During that lunch meeting we had to make one flyer for the primary vote to narrow the people so that 3 people were running for each position. Okay, I can do that, and I did. The day rolled around and my counselor announced who won the primary vote. me and two others. When she said my name I wasn't really listening to the other winners I was just thanking God. When we where done I thought of all the things I will have to do.
1. make 4 posters in one night
2. write a speech
3. make two guest appearances on the school news and make another one if I win
4. have to deal with the pressure and anxiety of waiting till she announced the winners
 I made the speech said it on our school's news and made the posters.
Then it was time to vote. This is it I filled out my form and at the end of the day she told the primary winners who won but we weren't allowed to tell anyone outside of your family.
     I won. I made it. It was worth it. I love it.
lots of people know me now, but I am just happy to help my school.

My Grandmother was Mugged

     Last February, my grandmother was mugged. We call her Maga. Anyway she was getting groceries out of her car when someone came up behind her and grabbed her from behind. She screamed loudly and saw the jacket the robber was wearing. The person said. "Shut up or I'll kill you," The person hit her with something heavy pushed her to the ground and took off. Maga saw footsteps and thought the robber came back! Maga called 911 when she saw her neighbor coming. He said that he saw the a man running, and he was African American. The neighbor took the phone and the police showed up. Maga called my mom and my aunt, oh and it was snowing. The police said to take Maga to the ER to make sure her head wasn't damaged, and it wasn't.
     The next day she slept over with us and we made arrangements to get her gate fixed, a big light in her yard, and an alarm system. After that was done she felt safe and went back home with no sign of the robber near her house.
     About 6 weeks later Maga saw the same jacket and the same car she recognized that night, she called 911. I don't know what happened after she called.
     A few months back she was scheduled to go to trail with the man she saw, a suspect. That day I was home sick and my mom and aunt went to the trail. My mom's friend watched me until they came back. When they did they had to go back in less that an hour. My mom's friend had to pick up her kids from school and if they get sick, they get really really sick. So I stayed home alone for 7 or 8 hours and I texted my mom's friend every now and then, because she was scared for me. I mostly watched TV. When they came home,and it wasn't over. They had a jury that made the decision a couple days later, we where hoping guilty but unfortunately he was found. not guilty. We where heartbroken, but happy it was over. Maga is fine there has been no disturbance and we are sort of back to normal.

I heard a Shotgun one Night

     Last night I heard a gun, I was scared and I thought it fireworks no problem. The next morning I heard mom talking about a shooting. I said that I heard a gun fired. I realized that last nights sound really was a gun.
     There was a shooting 3 blocks away from our house. My old principal's husband died. I was totally petrified.
     Mom told me to get dressed and come outside to play and she will tell what happened.
I found out, I was scared, and I was sad. I don't have the facts, and I don't want to spread fasle information, but that is what I know.
