Mama's Birthday Weekend!

This weekend was my mama's birthday! :) I had school off on friday so we went down to the The Refinery to get facials.. SO nice! Then we met my dad down town at rock bottom cafe for lunch! YUMMY!

Later that night we went rollerblading at the metrodome! {you can go and rollerblade around the field where the consessions are} It was a lot of fun!

{yah we're cool, don't hate}

Looking forward to my week of (SPRING BREAK) WHOHOO!





Thank You Thursday & Happy Birthday Sissy! :)

There is SO much to be thankful for today (and every other day!)

But today i am thankful for these things..

I'm thankful for my sister CALLIE! :) It's her birthday! She is 14 today..Wow! :) I love you so much and i love your love for Jesus. It's so cool to see you trust in him for everything! I pray everyday that you continue to love him and praise his name! happy birthday sweetie!

The second thing i am thankful for is my awesome daddy! He got his dream job yesterday! He got a position downtown so he won't have to drive an hour and half to Plymouth everyday! PLUS my grandpa use to work there so its 2 generations there! He is so happy & so proud of him! God is truly faithful & amazing :)

The third thing i am thankful for is my beautiful friend Leah!! She got out of the hospital today from being in there for a month! I'm so proud of her for seeking help when she needed it and I'm so excited for what her future is going to be and for what god is going to do. i can't wait! I love you best friend! <3

Happy Thursday!

Devotion Day 1: God Is Able

I started reading this awesome devotional book! I decided that i would blog about each day that i read it & i would post a song that reminds me of the devotion of the day.

Today talks about what god can do.. or better yet, what god CAN'T do. A lot of times in life we push god on the back burner and he fades in our life. We need to remember the description that apostle Paul gives us about how great our god is and about all the things he CAN do.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." -Ephesians 3:20

The song below by Francesca Battistelli reminds me of how our god loves us SO much that he will do anything for us.

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart

Dear LORD: Please help me and remind me that your way is always the right way! Guide me and encourage me to trust in you 100%. Amen 

My Weekend [In Picturess]

THURSDAY:

I went to the varsity basketball game against st. Francis. again.. WE WON :) It was such a good game we scored the winning point with 17 seconds left of the game!

FRIDAY:

During the day my mama & i went to stillwater to go prom dress shopping & to have lunch :)

I got a black prom dress, but its a surprise so i cant show pictures!

Friday night i went to the gopher hockey game with my friend Kelsey [like always] WE WON! :)

SATURDAY:

It was my daddy's birthday! He's 43.. I know, young parents right?! Lol. We made him french toast for breakfast then went to Lifeway christian store in maple grove..I got this devotional journal, i LOVE it.

After we went to see "The adventures of Tin Tin" [It was the only PG show that my younger sister could see] But it was really good actually! After we went to Big Bowl [at the rosedale mall] for dinner with my grandparents, then we went back home for chocolate cake :)



Today is a girls day with mama & my sister! My dad is on a business thing for a few days..

Have a good Sunday everyone!



Weekend Recap...Sort of..

I finally got my winter senior pictures done! I've been waiting for some snow (since this is Minnesota) but the weather just isn't having it. So i was super excited to finally get some! My amazing friend Brooke took them! It was so cold out too, like 0 degrees.. but it was totally worth it!

I could seriously go on forever about my weekend.. But it's finals week so i need to go back to studying :/

Have a good week everyone!



Empower 2012 & God's Presence!

This weekend was wonderful! Me and my mama went to the empower conference at edinbrook church on Saturday! It was so good to feel god's presence with me the whole time!

We started out the day leaving our house at 7:30 listening to 98.5 {Christian channel}

{Empower!}



We worshiped with god...

On the left is Amanda..{Our Worship Leader} and on the right is our other singer Ana (:

Then we had an awesome lunch :)

Cuties!

I learned SO much from this retreat on now i can strengthen my relationship with god. Yesterday my mama asked me to do the dishes.. My first thought was "oh my gosh NOO" but then i quickly remembered that every little chance i get alone is a chance for me to talk to god. So i plugged in my ipod and listened to christian music & talked to him about what i was going to do better in my life. After it was done i was wishing i had more dishes to do! :)

Also, before i go, my beautiful best friend is in the hospital. Prayers for her would be AWESOME! <3

Finally friday!

1. One of my favorite things to do when I have free time is.. To SLEEP (:, blog & play with my puppy

2. When I have free time I tend to sleep. haha, read my bible (: pray and sleep a little more!

3. If I had an entire day completely to myself I would spend the day relaxing, getting stuff that needs to be done (maybe? :)), watching friends, the hills, and random tv shows.

4. Would you rather spend your free time alone or with people?personally i like to be alone or with one other person, i don't like big groups of people.

5. Most of my free time happens after school if i don't have to work, on wednesday when my parents go grocery shopping & my sister is at religion class, and saturdays (:

6. The best thing about free time is ITS FREE! I don't have to worry about anything.

7. The next time I have free time I should probably get some of that homework done,but instead, I'll probably procrastonat and sleep (:
