Just in case anyone other than Mommy, bro, and Rebekah S. read my blog, sorry I haven't written in a while! Haven't found the time, we're actually doing stuff right now too but hopefully I can get a few things in.
Last Thursday was our last Membership Class!! Which means we will be joining the Church soon, I can't wait! As I've said before I just love all of the people there! It might be this Sabbath that we're gonna join but we don't know yet. Our Pastor did mention it though so we'll see!
Let's see last Sabbath (two days ago) we went to Mommy's family's Family Reunion! That was very fun even though we got there a little late and some of the people had either left or were getting ready to leave. I got to spend most of the day with my little cousin!! It's such a joy and blessing whenever I get to see her, she's more like a little sister to me although we don't see each other as often as I would like. She sometimes tries to be like me and that is very precious to me. There aren't any little girls at Church yet and outside of my family I don't know any so it means a lot that she's always so excited to see me. I thank the Lord for her every day.
The weather is finally Autumn weather!!! Praise God!! It's cloudy, rainy, and chilly and of course the leaves are turning their beautiful Autumn colors! Praise the Almighty Creator for this wonderful season!!
Well, I'm already listening to Christmas music and the CD is Josh Groban's new Christmas CD "Noel". I just can't hardly stop listening to it, that and the Sovereign Grace CD's are my favorite CD's right now!!
Anyway, last Wednesday I made some Maple Snack Bread and we put two pans of batter in the freezer and left two out (one for us and one for our Pastor and his family when he came the next day). We ate all of one and then we brought one out of the freezer for the Reunion but that one didn't get all eaten so I warmed some up today and sliced some for myself (no one else wanted any at the time) and put some real butter on it, mmmm...it was sooo good!
Also a few nights ago we (Mommy and I) had the first two cups of my Gourmet, Gourmet, Hot Cocoa, for the season, that was also very good!! The men (Daddy and brothers) didn't want any. So for bros I made Hot Caramel Apple Cider, (Daddy doesn't like any hot beverages so alas there was nothing he wanted) which was good they said but not as good as the one at Starbucks, I didn't think it would be, to be honest, but I knew they would like it anyway. Oh, by the way, they didn't, of course, say it to be mean or anything, I just asked them if they liked and they said yes, then I asked them if it was as good as Starbucks just because I was curious and they didn't wanna be mean, just honest, and said no. That's alright with me though, 'cause there are many other things I make that they love, for instance: Tommy loves my homemade bread and Chris loves my homemade Old Fashion Carrot Cake with homemade Cream Cheese Frosting , of course (I can't imagine any other kind of frosting to put on it, that's just the best!!)!!
I must go, there are things that I must tend to. Farewell for now, my dear friends! God Bless!!

Picnics Or Mommy First?
Today was our Church's Church Picnic, but alas we were not able to go because Mommy wasn't feeling good:( I'm not complaining though, Mommy is much more important!!! Although if you would've been around me earlier today, you would not of thought that I was okay with it. By the Grace of God I am getting over it. There will be more picnics, but I only have one Mommy and I'd take care of her before going to a picnic!! I will add though that last night Chris and I did ask her if she would allow us to go with someone else to the picnic, I don't believe there was really an answer though, we kind of went to another subject. Anyway, if there ever would be a time where that would be our only other option and she would say yes, it would have to be when Daddy's home so someone could take care of her and I know Daddy would!!!!!
So my answer to my own question: MOMMY FIRST WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!!!
I don't know if you all noticed or not but I LOVE MY FAMILY!!! I am so thankful that the Lord Blessed me with the best family on earth!!!
Tomorrow is the Sabbath, oh I do love going to Church and Worshiping my Beloved Master!!! Is there anything better than Worshiping the King of Kings with loved ones surrounding you, whether it be Church family or family or friends? They're all the same to me!!
Worship our Maker!

Are You Joyful?
It is so not Autumn weather here!! We're still in the 80's and 90's, ugh!! We did so enjoy having the windows open for a few days, oh well, the Lord's Will be done. I shouldn't complain (no matter how much I want cool weather!!), He is in Control.
Anyway, yesterday was our second Membership Class, it was lovely. I am just so thankful for our Pastor!!!
We are going through a kind of stressful time right now and as the days go by that this carries on it gets harder to deal with. Although it is difficult I am reminded to rest in Jesus. There is no other source of joy, peace, rest, love, or anything like His Arms.
People may think they've found joy in money or romance or whatever, but we all must understand that this "joy" is WORLDLY "JOY". True and pure joy ONLY comes from GOD!! Whatever we have on this earth will pass away, seriously, nothing on earth will remain forever, everyone WILL die, the world WILL come to an end and all that lies therein. Think about it, nothing we have is anything without God, we are nothing without God. If we don't have Christ, we don't have anything worth living or dying for, our lives are meaningless without Christ! If Christ is not the Center of our lives then, I ask, what do we have? We cannot have True Joy, Peace, Love (for God is Love 1 John 4:7-8) if God is not in us.
I must say, it sickens me the way people obsess over money (don't wanna sound perfect here, I'm guilty of it too and I sicken myself in the process), but it's like we think if only I had more money or if only I had this or that, I mean, what's the point? Yes, we do need to money to buy certain things, but not all the money in the world will buy our way into Heaven to spend eternity with Christ, no, no, no, it's not ever gonna happen!!!!!! Christ is all that we need and if we trust in Him, He will provide our needs. God knows what we need before we even think about needing something, yes if God is Willing, He will provide. I myself struggle with that, but deep down I know and there is not one time that I can think of that He didn't provide us with what we needed. He is Awesome! Praise Him, Love Him, Adore Him, He Alone is Worthy of all Praise, Love, and Adoration!!
