No longer a teen.....

On Tuesday, August 11, I left my teen years behind! While I enjoyed each of those 'teen' years in my life, I detested being lumped in with the 'traditional' teen assumptions. My heart's desire has been to be the child that GOD wanted me to be.

The Bible tells children to be obedient to their parents
Ephesians 6:1-3
"Children obey your parents in the LORD: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother, which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."


to trust in the LORD
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

to be an example, that would be one that honors GOD and my parents
I Timothy 4:12
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in coversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."

to conform to GOD and not to this world
Romans 12:1-2
" I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable and perfect, will of God."


I like monkeys, even a gift wrapped in a monkey.
A new pair of boots!!
Actually, they are untensil holders.
Me and Bear.

Me and Todd, and his gift to me.

My very own ORANGE bowling ball!
Todd gave me the ball, bag and shoes for my birthday.
I love to bowl
My family and I went bowling on Monday morning.
I won the first game, and my mom won the second.
It must have been the 'girls' day'!
I am looking forward to my 20's and what GOD has in store for me!

His ways are always perfect!

Thank you, Jennifer! I had a very very nice birthday, as always. I love to bowl, also. It is one sport that I can do better than my brother, Todd can. ;) (but that is his own fault! LOL)
