She has a name!

We have a name for her! We were all sitting around the table and trying to think of a name for her this evening. I was thinking really hard and all of a sudden I thought of Teasel and I knew that that was it. I said " Teasel" every one looked at me and did not say yes or no, but they had looks on there faces that said YES! Then mama said raise your hand whoever agrees with the name Teasel! all seven hands were raised up high and everyone with a smile on there face said "yes!"

So our dog, our sweet dog is now named Teasel. Thanks everyone for giving ideas.

We are in desperation folks!

We got a dog on sunday and it came with the name of Vicious, she is too sweet of a dog to have a name as that. I am here to ask you all, who ever you may be, to help us in naming our dog. We have thought of every name we can think of and have not come up with a name that fits. Soooo..... Please give me as many ideas for a name for her as you want. No people names please! Put them in a comment below.

Many thanks~Grace

When I was very little my mother would stroke my arms and it felt really nice, I would call it the chillys.

Another one is going to a doll factory for my first birthday and watch how they make dolls. I got my first very own doll. I still have her. Her name is Jessica. She is 21 the same age as me! But she still looks the same as she always did except she has a little bit of hair cut off on the side of her bangs. Long time ago me and my sister Rebecca were making baby books for our dolls and we wanted to have a baby curl to put in our dolls books. My sister has the same kind of doll as mine. We called them the "Jessica Dolls".

Yes! How did you know the right question to ask?

Did you know that I would say yes?

I have always wanted to learn another language. Really I want to learn every language in the world but I don't think that will be ever possible! If I ever do learn to speak in another language I want to learn any one of these: German, Ukrainian, Welsh, Swedish, Polish, and Kurdish.

I think the only way that I will learn is by going to the place where the language is spoken.

And fully recompenses the proud doer.
Be strong and let your heart take courage,
All you who hope in the LORD.

Psalm 31:23-24

#17-What are you looking forward to?

I can't think of anything. There is not really any thing that I am looking forward to. I am smiling at the future. I do not know what the Lord has in plan for me. I am find out the greatness of his loving heart. He is the only thing that I hope for in this life.

One word that descripes you:

Thoughtful

One of your favorite songs:

"As The Day Approaches"

As The Day Approaches I am wakened with a start

I cannot see it but for the eyes of my heart

There's a sound of victory and battle in the air

And the Captain of the host of heaven's there

And the Captain of the host of heaven's there

And the territory of God that's in our hearts

Will be fortified to quench the liar's darts

The day's upon us when the standard shall be raised

And Babylon will burn in a fiery blaze

And Babylon will burn in a fiery blaze

As for me and my family we choose to serve the Lord

And like Peter we step out on the sea

Looking to the Holy One who brings a brighter day

And the courage to say Count on me Count on me

Great wars were never won without sacrifice

So let us count the cost for we know He paid the price

The weapon He has formed is sharpest when We're on our knees

It's the contrite ones who'll slay the enemy

It's the contrite ones who'll slay the enemy

So love your children and cherish your family

Pray for your parents and take the victory

Mighty men of valor have longed to see this day

When the host of hell are chained and led away

When the host of hell are chained and led away

Favorite School Subject (recess doesn't count):

Reading!

Favorite Season:

Spring!

What a wondrous time is spring,

when all the tree are budding,

The birds begin to sing,

The Flowers start their blooming,

Once you've experienced it.

You want to sing, It's fresh like spring,

You want to pass it on.
