Livestock Show!

We (meaning my mom and I) went to the livestock show Wednesday! We went and met a pen pal of mine, Kayla! Once we got there and met my pen pal we had some lunch. Then we looked around at some shops. After that we went and watched the pig races and then I rode the mechanical bull! Even though it sounds like we didn't do much, it was really fun!!

Camping!

Well, we just got back from a two and a half day camping trip!! Let me explain what we did.....
First, we got there at 12:00 a.m. Once, we got there we set up camp. We didn't get to bed until 2:00a.m. When we woke up in the morning we ate breakfast did our morning devotions and jumped on the 4-wheelers!! Zac and I took a ride while my mom and dad were getting ready. We went exploring and on our way back we had to go over a log in the path..... Zac got over it fine but not me! One wheel on the 4-wheeler went before the other so, when the back wheels went over I flung forward and hit my head on the dash board above the handlebars!! So, I had a big bump on my forehead for a while and a bit of a headache. After, Zac and I had finished exploring, we went back to camp. By the time we got there mom and dad where ready to go! So, we all went to a part of the lease to take down two deer stands and two feeders. (Zac and I rode on the 4- wheelers.) When we got back to the campsite we had some lunch and then went back to exploring! That night, I cooked Hobo Diner, Cinnamon Sticks, and Super Deluxe S'mores! Afterward 's, we took a awesome look at the stars! What an amazing God we have. When we woke up the next morning we did the same thing have breakfast, explore, take down a stand and feeder. eat lunch, and then we packed up camp and headed home! It was an awesome weekend! I should mention that my dog, Hadassah, went with us!! She loved the pine cones.The only thing I didn't like a was the bump on my head, and that I'm as red as can be!! Yes, I'm sunburned!!
(And boy does it hurt!!) Beside's that it was an awesome weekend!

Verse of the Week!

Psalms 1: 1-2

1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of
the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.

30 Day Challenge!

This month, I am doing a "30 Day Challenge!" This 30 day challenge is: NO TV (Unless spiritual growth, or school) until the 30 days is up. Which will be April 1st. So far, it's been really good! I have watched some spiritual growth films such as, Return of the Daughters, and Pamela's Prayer! It's a bit hard on Saturday, because you feel like watching TV, but I will endeavor to persevere!
