Make A Joyful Noise

Ok, I will be very busy these next two weeks, so I probably won't be posting much! I am staying busy by finishing up my final assignments for co-op. Hope everybody is doing good =]

That's all for now!

We had a great Easter this year. We went to church in the morning, and the message was great! After church we went to the Walter's for lunch, then just hung out. We had an easter egg hunt, and found 99 out of 100 eggs! (that means one is still out there hehe) I found the special egg, and I won a chocolate bunny :) After that we just relaxed, and had a bonfire a little later. (It was a pretty sad fire starting out). This week I have my spring break (I still have some school), so I'm just taking a break and hanging out! I hope everybody had a great Easter remembering that it was the greatest day in the history of the world! He is risen!

“Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” Luke 24:5-7

Everything around here has been about the same. The weather has been a little depressing recently because it's been cold and rainy almost every day for 2 weeks. I just can't wait until all the days start being warm and nice outside :) School is pretty much the same. I have about a month and a half left, then I'm DONE! I'm really excited about the thought of being finished with school! This week and next week I have 2 light weeks of school for spring break, which is nice. Currently in Literature class we are reading Great Expectations, and at the end of the year we're having a tea party. The downside (at least in my opinion hehe) is that each of us has to act like our characters. I have Molly as my character, so I won't have any major acting parts :) I'll have more to say about that later.
Things have been going great, and I can't believe it's already April! (I say that for every month) Hope you all are doing good.

That's all for now

*I'll try to post some pictures sometime this week, or next week.

Well I finally finished my no sugar month! I didn't pig out too much, just a cinnamon roll, some girl scout cookies, and ice cream! I'm glad that I could make it through without breaking down :) Pretty much everybody was asking me why I even did the no sweets thing. Basically, I felt that sweets and sugar were becoming a big thing in my life, and they became an idol to me. I felt like I needed to fast the thing that was becoming more important to me than God. Like Mr. Rogers said in his message on Sunday, we fast to show our dependence on God. I was only able to give up sweets by the grace of God. Whenever I craved sweets, I was reminded how much I depend on God to help me. I'm glad I could fulfill my goal, and I think I'm going to go for another month!!!..... haha April fool's! :)

Well that's all for now,
thanks for reading!

Ok so I have made it through three weeks of no sweets, and now I'm beginning the last week! I must say, although I haven't LOVED it, it hasn't been that hard. Of course I'm not going without sugar, just without extra unnecessary sugar and sweets. (that makes it a lot easier hehe). We'll see if I can last for one more week....Aside from all of that, I'm going to TRY to post another adventure with Sulley :) If nobody likes those adventures, I won't do them anymore, however. So leave a comment and tell me what you like concerning my blog!

That's all for now,
