#6 Novel: Finished. (and life w/ me)

So, as some of you know, our black lab doggy is named Fraysa (never know how to spell her name) Well, Fraysa means Strawberry in Spanish! Today we were eating strawberries and I thought I just needed to get a pic of Fraysa with the fraysa ;) And I remember when I was little we had fake food for toys! Including a few strawberries! So I just had to pull out the old fake strawberry and get a pic of the funny dog with the strawberry ;) haha! It took forever to keep her still for the picture! Finally after a long time of keeping her still for the picture I finally snapped the pic of her ;) And this is the result ;)

Anyway, off the subject, I thought it was time to post again! So here I am! ;) Last time I finally finished my 6 Novel!!!!!!!!! Hoooooray!!!! :D 103 pages! Yeah, I know, it's not that long of a book, but I was so tired of it I would neglect it for days then I would finally reluctantly open up the notebook again and write after days. So, I thought it was time to end the book. I was planning on ending the book soon anyway, but I decided to end it right there and then last night! I even wrote out the description for the book. (Like what would be on the back of the published book). And it sounds pretty cool ;) Maybe I will share the "back of the book" with you all ;) How does that sound? Maybe? Maybe not? What ya think?!

In away now I'm sad I ended it...Because now I have nothing to write in! So I'm thinking of starting another book! It would be my #7 novel!!!! :D Any suggestions on what to do for my next book?!?!!?!? Write me a comment!

I have decided to just post the description of my Novel! The book is called "What Became Of The Midnight Escape". Here is the "back of the book" :)

~Description of my latest Novel~

"When Princess Jasmine escaped from her evil uncle's grip what she didn't know was that she would become friends with dozens of musical creatures in a far away Forest.

But since her escape, she had left a very special friendship with a knight she grew up with. Would she ever see the knight again? And if so, would there be something more than just a friendship between the knight and princess?

Jump into the story of "What Became of The Midnight Escape" and join in on the adventures Jasmine finds in leaving the castle."

So there you have it! Write me a comment what you think!!!

So, what have I been up to since last time I posted? Hm...? Let's see....lots of babysitting...youth group...CORE meeting, um....school...and...come on! I know I have been doing a lot! I just now can't think of anything! Well, at youth group, a week ago I gave my youth pastor a quote from the most incredible book ever. (Dangerous Wonder). And he spoke on what the quote read! So that was pretty cool! Here is the quote I REALLY like, I gave him:

"God is not only present when we can see Him, He is present when we can't, and joy comes from recognizing God in the places we never thought He would be. God hides in difficulty, He hides in suffering, He hides in poverty, He hides in failure, and He hides in the stories of our lives. Whatever our circumstance, whatever the status of our lives, God is present--invisible, hiding, waiting for us to discover Him, waiting for us to learn from Him in the shadows as well as in the light." -from the book Dangerous Wonder.

So yeah, pretty cool quote eh? I think it is really powerful! Don't ya think? Anywho, I should probably end this post before you all look at the post and go "yikes! That's a long post! Don't have time to read it, since it's so long" :) Anyway! Fair well everyone!!! See ya later!! Write me a comment and make my week!!! :)

Hope you all have an amazing week!!!

God bless!

"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Put away from you crooked speech, & put devious talk far from you. Let yours eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure. Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil."

Proverbs 4:23-17 (ESV)

Valentine's Day.

If you read 1 John 4:7-21 you will find that in it the word "love" is said 28 times. (unless I counted wrong ;D) That is a lot of times to say love. But it's not about the love between a boyfriend/girlfriend idea. No. It's about loving one another because God first loved us. Read 1 John 4:7-21. Tell me what you think.
1 Corinthians 13:3-8 says:
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on it's own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
1 Corinthians 13 is a good verse to remember. I know I haven't full filled all those things, what about you? But I am trying my hardest to grow closer to God and love more like He loves. It's hard, especially when I have the enemy at my back, but it is worth it in the end...
I hope you all will have a wonderful day knowing that even if you don't have someone to bring you a dozen red roses and a box full of chocolates with a sweet special note that you would know God is the greatest lover of all. No boyfriend will ever give you the special love God is giving you. His love note is the best of all. The Bible. And just know He is writing your love story right now, don't jump ahead. But wait on the Lord knowing He has a perfect plan for your life. Be patient. He does have a plan. God bless!

An Update! (Blizzard)

Hey folks! I thought I would surprise you all by posting!!! Yes, it's been a long while :) But God has been showing me amazing things since I've last came on here! I just got back a three day winter retreat with my youth group! It's called "Blizzard" and we went to a camp about 4 hours away! It was great! There was horse back riding (which of course I did, allergic or not!) but no, I didn't get to ride the black and white one :(((( Someone else took her before I could get over there! But I rode the one in the front of the pic. She was cute so I took her :) there was snow tubing, broom ball, ice skating, torch walk, leap of faith (jumping out of a window REALLY high {of course all roped up though so no worries!} almost like bungee jumping) there was....? games, and....an awesome speaker! Have you ever heard of Mark Cahill? GREAT speaker!

I learned so much from his talks! He spoke on witnessing to people! And really challenged us to do so! Amazing speaker! He has written books and all and is really cool! Now I want to go share my faith with people and share the gospel with them! Like seriously! :D

I got lots of pictures! It was an awesome weekend! I enjoyed it! The activities were great, the food...was okay...the speaker was great! AND we had a theme party Saturday night dinner. The theme was dress up like a holiday character! I went as the tooth fairy! 'Cause that is like a holiday! When your kid loses a tooth (or you lose a tooth) it is like a holiday!
So I wore my long sparkly blue ball gown dress, with my hair up with a little crown, blue eyeshadow a wand (borrowed from a friend) a white cape and borrowed black wings! It was great! At the camp when we came into dinner EVERYONE looked at us with an eyebrow up! It was embarrassing! Like REALLY embarrassing! I had people ask what I was and everything. If you know me, I not a on-the-stage kind of a person :) Like I'm the shy kinda kid who doesn't like attention. So it was embarrassing! Anywho! I didn't win :( but I'm okay with that!

Anywho! It was great weekend! Met new people and walked with them on the torch walk. A bit out of my comfort zone :P But it was good :) All good!

Anyway, what else have I been up to...? Hm...? Nothing much else! Hope you all enjoyed my post! :P It's been awhile since I've posted! And it's going to be awhile till I post again! But just want to tell you thanks for your comments! They mean a lot! :D
Comment and tell me what you've all been up to! God bless!

:( Goodbye (please read)

Hello everyone.
I have decided something. And i would like to share it with you. Last night God spoke to my sister in a powerful way. It wasn't something she necessarily wanted to hear. It was about giving up something. Giving up the time she spends on Facebook.
Well, when she told me this I thought about blogging. I don't have fb, but I sure waste a LOT of time on blogging. And I have noticed that it almost has a hold on me. Like it is hard to go a day without being on it. And that is not good. And I have decided to give it up. No, not delete all of my blogs yet. But I have decided to only come on here once a month. To only post once a month. Yeah it will be hard to keep up with commenting on all your blogs because I won't be able to read them all without having dozens of other blogs to read as well. But just bare with me.
I'm sooo not wanting to do this! Like I could wrestle with it for hours! But I know this is what God wants me to do. And I don't want to ignore Him. For I want to grow closer to Him. And He wants me to, too!

I have noticed blogging is like my own little world. Where I can talk about myself and what I've been up to. To share my "gifts" with you all. Where I can feel like I am loved by having 49 followers. Where I feel like I can connect with you all. And it's another place where I can let my light shine for my King. But, there is many other places I can let my light shine.

I need to break this stronghold and let God work in me. I need to have real encounters with the Living God instead of having "encounters" by looking into the screen of this here laptop. Idols don't come looking like gold cafes that people bow down to. Idols come like something you really enjoy in life. Like the computer to me. No, you might not bow down to it, but in away you worship what ever it is. You spend to much time with it. Let go. Let go and grab onto God.

So, to warn you all, I am getting off for awhile. I am going to try my hardest to only get on once a month. Yikes, it's going to be hard. But if it means dropping everything for God, then I'm letting go. Could you guys please pray for me? For I know the devil is really going to be battling with me over this, and i need to ignore the hunger for wanting to get back on and stand with God. Thanks. So, hope you all understand. Goodbye folks!
God bless!

A Servant 4 Christ,
Lizzie

Need your help people with something!

Hey! Does anyone know why it won't let me look at my comments?!?!?!?!!?!?!???? When I click on any of the comments on any of my posts it won't load but stops! But I can look at the post! But not the comments! Does anyone know why??? I tried to look at the two comments on my last post but it wouldn't let me! So I had to delete the post about JostieFlicks :(((( But I re-posted it just now. So whoever commented on that post (there was two comments) could you comment again on my new JostieFlicks post and try to say what you in my last post! haha! Sounds strange, but I would truly LOVE to know what you guys said! When it says that there is a comment in my post I freak out all excited and it makes my day! But now :((( it won't let me look at any of them :((((( Anyone know why? Hey! I just figured out something! If I go to my settings and hit "comments" it lets me look at them all! So DO leave me a comment and I will be able to look at them that way...
