Post #3

Hey ya'll! I'm really enjoying blogging! Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days! I'm really trying not to let the rain put me down. I don't feel as energized when it rains. I think my little brothers are the complete opposite. They are ALWAYS energized (believe me that can be tiring). To any of you that have little siblings, remember Philippians 4:13. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"-Phil. 4:13. I love my little brothers. My brothers are hard not to love. Naturally charming and adorable, sweet, nice, everything good. Don't get me wrong, they are most definitely not perfect (diddo for me!), but I love them because God gave them to me to be my brothers and it's my duty to love them and be nice to them (I think they need it after a day spent roughing around with all their brothers). So, therefore, I LOVE being the only girl. It makes me feel special and see my place in my family more clearly. After saying all that, and this baby might be girl! I can't believe I'll be turning 13 in less than a month! It will make me feel so much older! Then next is fourteen, then fifteen, then, sixteen! Sorry, I got a little carried away. I was kind of sad because last year all my little friends turned ten! I don't know, somehow they used to be seven (well, ha ha, they were) and now they're in double digits! In a way, it makes me feel old. Somewhat. Maybe not. Right now Mom and I are doing a Beth Moore study called "Believing God". It's really good! It challenges you to not only believe in God but to believe him. There are five points in our little pledge:
~God is who He says He is
~God can do what He says He can do
~I am who God says I am
~I can do all things through Christ
~God's word is alive and active in me
Can you believe, I did that from memory! I don't know, not to be prideful, but I've always been good with memorizing stuff. Anyway, I'm sorry, I (like every one else) struggle with pride. Well, I'll post again soon!
