"Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I'm really inconsistent. Today I'm going to try something new and write a description of anything major for each month since I've posted. (by the way, when I say 'we' in a sentence, it usually means Elisabeth and me, or our whole family)
November-We hosted a sleepover and went to a board painting place for Elisabeth's birthday. For Thanksgiving we had our grandparents come over for lunch and cooked a big Thanksgiving meal from scratch. And then, on Black Friday we went shopping with our mom at the mall.
December-My friend Karis and I got baptized!!! We also volunteered at a fundraiser for an organization called Free the Captives which helps fight human trafficking in Houston. For Christmas, we all bought presents for each other and had a meal with our Mom's extended family.
January-Stayed up till midnight for New Year's! Then, in mid-January, we had a snow day!!! It was so cool, especially because it hadn't snowed for 8 years. I also started krav maga, which is a type of martial arts for self-defense and it's really fun.
February-We had a girl's appreciation night at youth group, which was nice because I got to spend time with friends. We also helped with a bake sale at church one week, baking and selling stuff. And near the end of February, we got to go to my old choir teacher's wedding (Mrs. Jocelyn), which was really cool because she is a dance teacher, so all the dances were choreographed and cool looking. Also, lent started and I gave up all drinks but water.
March-This is the last month I am going to write about. Our aunt came from England to take help take care of our grandpa for a week. We also went to the rodeo with her, which was okay. Then, for spring break, I went to a sleepover with my friends in my disciple group at church. My family also visited dog parks around Houston and took Piper with us, which was awesome! We also celebrated having her for six months! We also helped with a homeless outreach at the end of March, which was pretty cool, getting to meet people and talk to them.
That's about it, I need to go now. Thanks to everyone for reading, and God bless!!!
