Ok, so I got a new room with Lisey. The guinea pig is in the closet (which is big) and Lisey and I are trying to convince him to come out of his cage. Benny walks in, ruining the chances of the guinea pig coming out. So I say "Beeenyyy, Get outta here!" Elise hits Benny on the back and says "Benny! Get outta here!" in that sweet litle voice of hers. It was soooo funny to watch her, but I tried not to motivate her to hit him more, by laughing at her.
Also, a few days ago, she couldn't get a key chain off my backpack by tugging it as hard as she could. So she says "Ugh! I can't! Dang it!". She copies EVERYTHING.
This morning I was watching spiderman. I hear "Katie" in Lisey's sweet voice. I turn around to see her smiling right in my face!! LOL!
I was making pancakes a few days ago. Sharing a room with Elise, my alarm went off at 6, and she had to get up with me. I asked her if she wanted pancakes and she said "Yes!". So as I am making it I am talking to her about the process of making them. I hold up the pancake mix, and say "So basically this is what you're eating". She glares at me and says "No!". lol!!!
Actually awhile ago, when she didn't really understand responding to questions, or what things meant, because she was just learning to talk, she brings up a go gurt to me and says "Haaaaaave........THIS!!!" and holds it up. My mom ,behind her, is motioning no, because it is too messy. So I tell her "No, Lisey, it's too messy. Do you want something else?" She responds "NO!" and starts crying, and doesn't stop until she had something else to eat. Lol!
I will definetily write more stuff with Lisey (that happens daily) on my blog. <3

John 3:16 A poem I wrote
There once was a little boy
Who in him had a great joy
His friends were stumped
His teachers confused
So they asked him, and he said "I have the Great News
It says in the New Testament, it says it right there
This Great News makes me not despair!
This specific verse, it says it all,
It's John 3:16, I can recall!
"For God so loved the world
he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever
believes in him, shall not perish but have eternal life!" "
With a grin and a nod and a wink of the eye
This little boy said "Good-bye!"
Ans skipped very merrily away
And gave something for them to think about, to say!
Who in him had a great joy
His friends were stumped
His teachers confused
So they asked him, and he said "I have the Great News
It says in the New Testament, it says it right there
This Great News makes me not despair!
This specific verse, it says it all,

Acts 5:40 and 41
"They (The Jewish leaders) called the apostles in again. They beat the apostles and told them not to speak in the name of Jesus again. Then they let them go free. The apostles left the meeting full of joy because they were given the honor of suffering disgrace for Jesus"
Wow!!!! Let's back up a little. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the disciples followed Jesus, left everything behind right there and then when Jesus came to them and asked if they wanted to join him. After listening to Jesus' teachings for awhile, and following him and witnessing miracles suddenly he was taken and suffered and died on a cross. Afterwards, the apostles go, and preach and share the Good News, after seeing what the leaders did to Jesus. Just a brief summary.
So after ALL that drama happened, they were overjoyed when they got beat and spoken to harshly (I assume) by the leaders who killed Jesus, and could easily do so to them as well.
You know, when I was reading this in Acts I did NOT see it coming. I was shocked!
Imagine all the tiny things, we can overjoy in if they were happy with their punishment. Imagine if we could have joy in every single chore because Jesus died for us. In the bible, it says that we, Christians, are going to be hurt by the teachers of the law or people in authority of us. We see many examples of this in the bible, and the apostles are a great example of how to treat this kind of situation. They were so faithful to Jesus to the end. The story of Jesus dying on the cross is the nost told and the story people look at in awe. I think we should look into the apostles lives and books they wrote after Jesus died and honor that as well. "Wow" is what that verse is.

A Spring Poem
Spring is awakening from the long winter rest
Little birds are chirping, in their nest
Bright sunlight shines through the blooming apple tree
All of this beauty for me and you to see
Dew in the morning, clinging onto grass,
The fresh spring smell, has finally come, at last
The bright green grass, and the blooming pink flowers
Such a beautiful day, especially this hour!
The big blue sky, cloudless, and sunny
The foals, the calfs, and the little baby bunny
Are all being born in this special season
Everything in spring, is all so pleasing!
Little birds are chirping, in their nest
Bright sunlight shines through the blooming apple tree
All of this beauty for me and you to see
Dew in the morning, clinging onto grass,
The fresh spring smell, has finally come, at last
The bright green grass, and the blooming pink flowers
Such a beautiful day, especially this hour!
The big blue sky, cloudless, and sunny
The foals, the calfs, and the little baby bunny
Are all being born in this special season
Everything in spring, is all so pleasing!

"I love her"
Well, this was acually a while back, but one time, after a long grocery shopping trip I was getting some bags to put in the cart. As I was grabbing it, I looked up, and across from us was a lady who had no ear, just a little bump. Well, I thought "Wow, I wonder what happened, it looks kinda weird." After I thought that, immediately God told me, "I love her". As I thought about it, I realized that she is God's child, no matter how her ear looked. And like any parent would, he loved her. I suddenly felt compassion for her, and said a short prayer. I'll always remember this experience.

The Birth of Jesus: Poem I wrote :)
A poem I wrote about Jesus being born..... :)
Jesus was born in a manger fast asleep
Laying next to the horses and sheep
Mary and Joseph looked at him in awe
That little baby was a king that they saw
And all through the night a bright star shone
To show three wise men where to go
Bringing each a gift of myrrh, frankincense, and gold
For the newborn king to behold
An angel came during the night
And said to Joseph "Do not fright
But go to Egypt, and stay there and hide
For baby Jesus, King Herod has spied"
When Jesus, our King had grown
He did not make himself known
But made himself humble
He never made mistakes, did not even grumble
He made the biggest sacrifice of all
One that all of us can recall
Jesus was born in a manger fast asleep
Laying next to the horses and sheep
Mary and Joseph looked at him in awe
That little baby was a king that they saw
And all through the night a bright star shone
To show three wise men where to go
Bringing each a gift of myrrh, frankincense, and gold
For the newborn king to behold
An angel came during the night
And said to Joseph "Do not fright
But go to Egypt, and stay there and hide
For baby Jesus, King Herod has spied"
When Jesus, our King had grown
He did not make himself known
But made himself humble
He never made mistakes, did not even grumble
He made the biggest sacrifice of all

Worrying and Meditating
"When you think about a problem over and over in your mind, that's called worry. When you think about God's Word over and over in your mind, that's meditation." -Rick Warren , The Purpose Driven Life
Last night at Youth Group I was wondering why my mind wasn't on God, and why I was so distracted. I just ignored the fact thinking "Oh well... I guess maybe I'll concentrate better next week." The things I were thinking about were school tomorrow, what I was going to eat that night, my weekend, my Friday homework, and basically worrying about things that needed to get done in the future. Like I said, I was wondering why I was so distracted but I just ignored that fact. I didn't realize it then but I was replacing my thoughts about God, with worry. God said to me sometime during worship "The reason why your not focused on me is because of worry." He reminded me of the book I am reading the Purpose Driven Life. The quote I wrote at the top of the page espeially stood out to me. I then just stopped thinking about any thoughts that had to do with what was going to happen in the future and I completely trusted Him. That was one of the times I felt the most closest to God. I realized how good it felt NOT to worry about things, and during that time, I completely surredered that part of my life to Him. I was able to meditate on Him and His Word more.
