beauty~eyemakeup

eyemakeup is a GREAT addition to your collection. A pallete of neautral colors like gold, white, brown, and peach are so great to start out w/. For make up, I recommend Neautragena cosmetic nurishing eye quad. With base, highlighter, toner, and more! Try soothing peach (base) all over both eyelids. Nxt, take the brown and put over direct eyelid. Next, insert white in corner of eye. perfect! Now, put a layer of white at very top of eyelid. Now, put eyeliner (black for brown eyes and brown for blue eyes works best) and apply as close to the root as possible, top and bottom

Time

Ever wonder about TIME???? Time is everything. Time is how long you'll live. Time is going to the store. Time is your friend asking you to meet her at a cafe. But.....

What ARE we doing in SPARE TIME????

shopping
complaining to our boss
irritating our brothers
watching tv
putting on make up
eating/indulging
chatting on phone
flirting
sports

AND what are THEY doing????

STARVING
WORKING
DYING
CRYING
SICK
BLEEDING
HURTING
MOANING
WISHING.....

they were in AMERICA



so cherish those memos, and give thanks to GOD for he IS good!!!!!

(every bit helps. Help by sending money to people in need by FEED THE CHILDREN)

story time

I remember my parents-ecspecially my dad-reading to me at ages 0-7.  And now, guess what? I'm a writer. Nobody is a writer in my family. NOBODY! Guess what inspired me? You got it! My parents-by taking 20 minutes a day to just spend time with me and read. I love words. A story....that comes alive on a peice of paper.....and you can write anything! IT'S MY STORY! I can make ANYTHING i want happen! It's so cool! Agreed?

beauty~mineral foundation

Bare mineral foundation is much better ythan normal. I think it's because it sticks better, and is healthier for your skin. If you have purple bags under your eyes, put liquid concealer directly under the eye. After that, put bare mineral foundation over it, your cheeks, nose, and forehead. Next step is mascara. In order to have great looking mascara eyelashes, the secret is HEALTHY NATURAL EYELASHES! If your eyelashes are naturally sticking straight out, get a eyelash curling tool to curl them to where they're noticable. Next, apply mascara on the top and bottom lashes-non globby, long, and pretty. Next is lip liner. Line your lips evenly and directly to the outline of lip. Fill lip in with a shiney dusty pink gloss. Next, blush. If winter, oor you're naturally pale, apply lightly on forehead, cheekbones, and chin. This gives you color. You're DONE!

funny sayings!

I found these on my friend Emma's blog. Aren't they funny?

I went to a bookstore and asked the salesperson where the Self Help section was. She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose. 
Friends come and go. Pizza will be there forever.
When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail. 
Always remember: you're unique. Just like everyone else. 
If everything seems to be coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane

This is my little cousin Esther. 

show the world the warmnth of your smile....

The song you're listening to, MY WISH FOR YOU, says in the song: SHOW THE WORLD THE WARMNTH OF YOUR SMILE. Well, there's some truth in there. Nomatter how cold, we can warm somebody's day by showing off our smile-Yes, I know, I'm getting braces in April hopefully. :) C ya. 

my concerns

 

My concerns:

1) ~I'm nervous about school full time. I really don't think I'm ready, but since I don't have a choice, I guess I should make the best of it. 

2)~I'm really freaking out over what people think. Could you please pray for me?

3)~Cheerleading. Volleyball. I really wanna make it! 

4)~Missions trip!~Lord, please remove obstacles for me to go!

5)~unspoken need 

If you'd pray for these, I'd so be thankful. 

Love, Drew

go patriots!

I am trying out for it tomorrow! Please pray I make cheerleading!

hey, JOAAG fanz! Here's the latest!

troubles

My friend wants to see this movie I know she'll regret seeing. What 2 do?

- Confused

Dear Confused, I have been in this situation before. You want to protect your friend, but you CAN'T. He or She has a life. You have yours. Suggest things to her, but the rest is her account. Hope this helps, HISprincess 

What do you do if your dog really DID eat your homework?

- homework caper

Dear homework caper, LOL! JK. First of all tell your teacher....maybe over the phone. Be serious. Tell your parents. They'll tell her. Everything should be OK. HTH, HISprincess

my fire inside: movies

We ALL have a fire inside. A temptation that we push away but it nags us, and nags. But we always think after we have thought that, "HOW COULD I HAVE HAD THAT THOUGHT?" Human nature. DUH! My fire is movies. Something inside me....in the deep deep lil corner of my heart is a little longing to see movies that my parents wouldn't want me to see. The movie is soooo good! (1) EVERYONE'S watching it! (2) They'll never find out I saw the trailer! Beside's, how can it hurt me? (3).  These are thoughts that the enemy has given me. i need to PUSH them away with scripture. No, that's not nerdy. No, it's not uncool. It's wise. Smart. EXCUSE ME for having a brain! :) LOL Read about how JESUS was tempted in the Bible. What did HE do to avoid it? Look at Phillipians 4:8~..." Whatever is true whatever is noble whatever is right whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatevr is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about SUCH THINGS." OK, so I'll be honest, this verse has bugged me before, (like, because it seems freedom/fun smothering) but it's not. it's a thing called protection. Duh!!!

One world wide question: WHY?

volleyball

tomorrow iz Volleyball! I cant wait to get on that court! last game wew won because my serves were so long and hard. I've been practicing my overhand serve....it getting good. Wish me luck 2 morrow! comment to show u care! jk!

continuation of ladies retreat

This is my mom and her good friend Mrs. Weckel. I love Mrs. Weckel's daughter Alicia, she is so nice! (And fun to talk to!) :) We are blessed to have such good friends.

Mom gone all out

This weekend my mom went on a Ladies Retreat. She had a really fun time as you can see, and instead of being home at three like she was supposed to be, 10:00 pm was the true time. I guess she deserved it, tho!!! LOL

a light in the storm

God gives us a light to go by. His word. The Bible. In the midst of the deepest storm, he is there. When you have a break up, He is there. When your parents divorce, He is there. I don't know what you're struggling with, and even tho I don't know you, my friend, I'll keep you in prayer. I'm not some "Holy perfect person" , I just wanna pray for ya. Jesus loves you and me. I am a great sinner, saved by a great savior. He is our all. I'm humbled by what he did on the cross. I'm humbled by his great mercy for us.

Caramel Choco Squares~choco lab

Soooooo yummy! :) Lol! I love this recipie. My Grandma always makes these for family gatherings. All you do is get a pack of Zest crackers, semi-sweet chocolate chips, brown suger, butter, and heath bits. Melt the caramel w/ butter, melt semi choco chips w/ butter and heath bits, stir slowly, pour both mixes onto each cracker and viola!!!! Caramel Choco Squares! Some school day in my mom's Choco Lab, huh?????

your daily chicken soup

I know this may seem random. It took me courage to write this story on my blog, but here it goes. Everyone makes mistakes. I made a boo boo when my three year old brother nearly drowned....

i was impatient when my mom told me to watch Luke. It was a hot day, and I was waiting for my friend and her family to come over after they went to the beach. I sighed and, after watching him for a few minutes, decided I could leave him for a sec. As a brainless, skinny, 70 lb blonde, I found a quiet place near Luke where I was sure I could here anything he was doing, and started my daily daydreaming. I was wrong. Luke gave up blowing bubbles with my sister and went over to our above ground pool. Reaching for a toy, he plunged into the deep, wicked, mocking water.....for how long he was there, I will never know. Anyway, about fifteen minutes later, i heard the screams of a woman. My mom. Luke! It registered. I hadn't been listening! I heard no sound from where he had been sitting w/ my sister. OH, NO! My mom raced out from the deck where I was. She was screaming and crying, and, falling on her knees, helplessly began to pray. I stared, gaping at her. WHAT HAD I DONE? The next thing I know I heard a baby crying, and my mom ran from the deck. In her place stood her friend, Kelly. She was talking on the phone with 911. She ran down the path. In HER place now stood my best friend, Sarah. Her eyes were wide, and now I put it together. Luke must have fallen in the pool!!!! Shaken, I started to cry. I cried and cried. Being so young, I was scared at the sight of the ambulance, police cars, and fire trucks. Turned out, the baby crying was Luke. The amazing truth is, my dad's friend, Mr. Coats, (Sarah's dad) , had driven up JUST as my eight year old brother Carter drew the heavy, blue baby from the bottom of the pool. He had done CPR. Nothing. Again. Nothing. Finally, he cried out to God and asked for help. Again. Luke started throwing up, breathing, and crying! I was ten years old when this happened. Barely ten. Just turned ten. Luke is fine. The doctors thought he might have some retardation after such an escape, but he did not! OMW! WHAT A GOD WE SERVE! I still praise him today as I'm a teenager for what he did. Actually, my mom had told me it worked out for good. God used that insedent to strengthen and mold my parents. He used it to teach me to be careful. He used it to teach Carter about strength from God. everyone learned something. I guess it did work out for good. still, I wouldn't want to do it over!

no conditions: just love

NO conditions: JUST LOVE

..................................................

How can WE complain about eating veggies??? When they have nothing to eat.

How can WE complain about our pillow being flat????? When they HAVE no comforts?

How can WE complain about our work???? They would do ANYTHING to just get a job doing back breaking labor.

How can WE complain about our parents not giving us certain "freedoms" because they want to protect????? when they're parentless.

How can we complain about going to worship......when their chance of knowing OF Him is so slim?

These Violets are for you. Here is a legend about the violet:
The stem of the violet, a minty green color, represents growth in Jesus Christ.
The purple bloom, so fragrrant and rare, represents the blooming friendship that we share
The splashes of yellow represent the little funny things God throws in our life to give us a smile.

gettin' thru

ever try to get thru to someone.....and they just didn't get it?
well sista, (or brotha) I got news for ya! I've been there! Not as much as
sssssssoooommmeeee people I know (Justin), but I've BEEN there!
It's soooo frusteratin'! But that reminds me about Sharing the gosple.
ever shared the gosple and got that "look"? That, "you're wasting you BREATH look? I havn't, but maybe YOU have. I can imagine it to be frusterating. But, you know, don't give up on 'em. Think about the coach of nc state's women's basketball that recently passed on to be w/ the savior. That girl that witnessed to her NEVER gave up. Even tho it's tough, let's give it our BEST SHOT!

Hope

As a Christian, I have hope in Jesus Christ, my savior. I truley hope you know Him. It will change your life FOREVER in a good way! You may think being a Christian is boring and uncool. Listen, being a Christian is the COOLEST thing evr! I mean, you have a relationship w/ the CREATOR! How COOL is THAT? Huh?

luke

Luke is a "cool dude" he says and when his hair is spiked up, it makes his head bigger in more ways than one. Trust me!

Judson is my pal. He has this little personality where if you video him, he goes bold......not shy.

It's crazy! He's gonna be a little actor! LOL

This morning in my Bible Study I read about refreshing your heart. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who wants to do a Bible study on the heart. Here's a picture so you'll know what to look for:

I like how it gives you so much scripture to look up, so you can see where GOD says it, like the B-urians? Is that how you spell it? Oh, well. It's really good. It truley zooms in on the heart of the matter. I always feel refreshed after I read it. Maybe that's why is called, "Refresh You Heart" LOL! Enjoy!
