Happy Fourth of July!!

Happy Fourth of July everyone!!! I hope you are having a great Independence day. I love all the fireworks and parties and fun, but mostly I like to know that we are living in a free country!!! Isn't that such a great feeling?! We can worship God whenever we want and we can vote for whoever we want for president. We have so much freedom. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes that's a bad thing. So we shouldn't take our freedom for granted. I hope you have a very merry Fourth of July and remember all of our troops who have made this day possible for all of us.

So Many Subjects I Don't Have a Title For This Post

This week we had Camp Chosen and it was so much fun!! I was a junior mentor for the group of second and third grade girls. Chosen is a bible study for girls 8-12 and I have learned so much by taking it. If any of you read my blog and live in Amarillo and are girls you should totally go to it and comment on this post if you want to learn more about Chosen. I think it has totally helped me have a closer relationship with God. Today is Canada Day!!! My mom is from Canada and we celebrate it around here. She is a United States citizen though. But she still celebrates like every Canadian holiday. (We even have our Canadian flag up today. I would take a picture of it but I don't know where the camera is.) My mom's family who lives in Canada is at a cabin for two weeks and I want to be there soooooooooo bad, but we are going there in August, so it's not that far away. Please pray for Ellie this week. She is going to Angelfire with her best friend who moved to Austin and this is her first time to go away without my mom or dad.

Kari Jobe Concert

Last night we went to a Kari Jobe concert and it was AMAZING!!!! She is such a powerful and spiritual worship leader. I loved seeing and listening to her worship and she is really pretty too!! She leads worship at Gateway church in Dallas, Texas and it was nice of her to come to Amarillo to do a concert. Her parents came to see her too, which I thought was really sweet. If you haven't listened to Kari Jobe, I think you should as soon as you can! You won't be disappointed.

Brave

Yesterday we saw the movie 'Brave' and it was awesome!! It was a really good story and it had a lot of good lessons in it as well. My favorite character is Merida because she is really brave and she has the most amazing hair EVER!!!! There were a lot of things in the movie that I didn't expect to happen, but that's all I'm going to say about it because I don't want to give it away! I really recommend 'Brave' to anyone. Go as soon as you can to your nearest theater and go watch it! I promise you won't be disappointed!!

Believe

Today we got the new Justin Bieber album 'Believe'. It has some really awesome songs on it and I think it's his best album he has ever come out with. He is one of my favorite non-Christian artists. My favorite songs on this album are "As Long As You Love Me", "Believe", "All Around the World", and "Beauty and a Beat". As you can tell I have a lot of favorite songs.

Summer Fun Days

This week we had Summer Fun Days at our church and it was really fun!! We had the most kids than we've ever had come. I helped in the first and second grade room and let me just tell you it was tiring!!! Those kiddos DO NOT run out of energy!! The room was mostly full of boys which pretty much tells you everything, but it was so much fun watching them worship and learn about Jesus! We all got matching shirts which was new this year and you can see them on Ellie's blog which is www.elliekpeters.blogspot.com. I loved spending my week with those precious kiddos!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!!!

Happy Father's Day to my awesome and super sweet dad!! He is the best dad I could ever ask for and I love him so much! He provides for our family so well and I wouldn't trade him for anything on this earth. He tickles us, makes us laugh, and we have the best times together. I love my dad so much and I can't imagine my life without him!!! I love you so much Daddy!!!
