I AM SPARTAN

Well, no, I'm not... but my sister is. ;) My sister is awesome at Spartan races! She brings home a lot of cool stories about her races. Here's one of my favorites. She had to do a thing that was kind of like a tire flip, but it was with something else, I'm not sure what though, and there was one for the ladies and one for the men. She headed for the one for the men, when a volunteer told her that the other one was for the ladies. She asked if she could try the men's. He smiled and let her try. She and another guy started at the same time. She got back right as the guy flipped his first. :) My sister is awesome! ;) I'm hoping to do the 1 mile race next year when it comes to Oregon. :) I can't wait. I'm going to set up an obstacle course in our pasture (which is pretty big) and it's quite muddy at this time since it's been raining a lot, which will make it more like the real thing, and I'll be able to get used to the mud. But there are a few hazards. If I put the obstacles on the edge of the pasture, then there's a good chance that I might slip and slide down to our very flooded and fast flowing creek, so... I guess I'll have to put them FAR away from the edge! ;)

Have a good week you guys! :)

P.S. I'm going to my first ball on Saturday. I'll post pictures afterwards. :)

    I'll try not to. I'm so horrible. I actually just started training yesterday. :/ I kept on putting it off, and putting it off again. :/ Although, I hope to get better. It was freezing cold when I was running yesterday though. :( I couldn't even grab a piece of paper my fingers were so numb! :/ And I got quite muddy. ;) Getting muddy was fun, although the mud was cold. :/ :)

Words

I just started reading a book called 'Words That Hurt, Words That Heal', by Carole Mayhall. It really got me thinking on my words. Are my words like a fountain of life, or are they like a babbling brook, running on the surface, rushing helter-skelter over the rocks? I'm a fast talker, and sometimes I don't really stop and think about what my words might do to others before I say them. "The written word is a powerful thing, you've got to be careful with it." -Mo Fulchart from "Inkheart". I know that as a writer, I was given a gift of being able to put words on paper and create a story, another world for people to delve into. But I often use this gift for more entertainment than for what God would want me to do. I don't write bad things, but they aren't necessarily christian things. I often have doubts about my writing when I think about that. Anyways, I should use this gift that God has given me for His glory, and to use it to introduce ot...

Starting Anew

    I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve! It feels like this Christmas season has flown by so quickly!     This coming year is going to be a new start for me, and I want to make it a good one. I turn eighteen on January 1st, (cue the panic) so not only is it a new year, it's a new age for me. A new year, a new age, and hopefully a new mindset.     To be honest, whenever I heard the word 'mindset', I always kinda shut my brain down. 'Yeah, change your mindset and you can change your lifestyle, and all that stuff.' But now that things have gotten busy for me and I've gotten older, I need a new mindset. I need a new lifestyle. I'm going to be an adult, I need to work harder on the important things in life such as my relationships with friends, family and the Lord, my home life, my school work, and my health.     I want to make this year better than 2019. I want to fill it with memories with friends and family, and grow closer to the Lord. ...

Jesus Death

Image
We have made to the story of His death! YAY! Okay, if you are not a christian, and are wondering why we christian's get excited about this, here's the answer. Jesus died to save us from our sins and give us a second chance. He died to redeem us. That's why we get excited for Easter. Because we were redeemed, and we get a second chance at turning from our sins. :) Exciting, right? :D Anyway. Here's Luke chapter 23. 'Then, the whole multitude of them arose and led Him to Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, "We found this fellow  perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King." Then Pilate asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" He answered him and said, "It is as  you say." So Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no fault in this Man." But they were the more fierce, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throug...
