So the past few weeks have been kinda chill... I am reading the devotion called " Jesus Calling" And I wanted to share with you what yesterday's was about.
" When I give you no special guidance, stay where you are. Concentrate on doing your everyday tasks in awareness of My Presence with you. The Joy of My Presence will shine on you, as you do everything for Me. Thus you invite Me into every aspect of your life. Through collaborating with Me in all things, you allow My Life to merge with yours. This is the secret not only to joyful living but also of victorious living. I designed you to depend on Me moment by moment." ( April 13)
Wow! That hit me right where I needed it! I hope this encouraged you!
Tata, Jenny

Day 12 Something you hate...
Losing things~ That is what I cannot stand! I am not an extremely organized person so I lose things all the time! It is so frusterating that you have to search and search for these things!
Things I have lost in the past months-
- retanier ( found in the washing machine)
- camera ( found behind the couch after 7 days of searching)
- goggles ( found in the Christmas trash)
- calculator ( found behind my bed)
- phone ( found in the bottom of my backpack)
So there you have it folks! I hate losing things!
On a happier note!
Things that I am thankful for!
1: A father who is willing to help you study for a math test for like 2 hours!
2: A sunny day!
3: Teachers that make their class so interesting and are understanding.
4: Shoes
5: The devotion " Jesus Calling" BUY IT!
6: An mole chase that is going on in our house!
7: Mercy
8: Smiles

Forgive me dear readers!
SO I have pretty much have FAILED in the blogging department in the last like 2 weeks!! Its been a very busy 2 weeks! My brothers came home for spring break and they had a great time. I tried to make it through the week so I could get to my spring break. So here we are! I wanted to share a little lesson that I learned from swim lessons. If you know me you are sick and tired of hearing about swim lessons! But just 1 quick story!
The past few times in swim lessons I have made the children journey to the deep end. You would think that I was leading them to their doom. Their little faces are frozen with fear and they come up with every excuse in the book on why we should NOT go to the deep end. When we finally get there I hop in and the first question is always how deep is it today. (Like it changes?) I often come up with different answers but never give them an actual number.
So we get in and they are glued to the wall. I try to coax them off but then they move to the other wall and grip it until their knuckles are white. I pry them off the wall and encourage them to float. One girl claims that "I can't swim in this water I will drown!" I tell her that the deep-end water is the same as the shallow water but she still does not believe me. She tries to float and lets her legs drop to the bottom of the pool then panics. I grabbed her up and said " your fine I have got you"
I realized then that we are very much like her! When God gives us an opportunity to go deeper with him, or do something out of our comfort zone we often grip to the shallow end. When we finally go a little bit into the deep end-- we lose all of our faith in God. We think that he is going to let us drown with this new bit of freedom. God only wants us to grow and have new experiences but we would rather stay where its safe.
Friends I am calling you to go the deep-end! The new experiences there will be worth the fear and discomfort!
Till next time, Jenny
P.S. Its my Dad's birthday today! Love you! You are the best dad in the world!

Day 10... A person you do the dumbest things with
Ok so I am skipping day 9 for the moment because its this person's birthday today and I want to do a blog just about her.
I have so many fun memories of this dear girl! Anna Wyse is simply a ball of fun wherever she goes! Never a dull moment!
This was where we went on the dance floor at a military ball and danced our hearts out without shoes and look like complete goobers.
Haha we sat in on a Jewish wedding and watched the ceremony...
Decided to have silly string fight in our front yard!
We thought it would be a great idea to take ice cream all the way from Publix on our bikes to the park...
Girl I love you and we do some pretty crazy things . Yeah our "tie-dying " adventures, and the time we thought it would be a great idea to do a cooking show to music... I have a complete blast with you! Haha there are so many more but these are just a few!

Day 8... A picture that makes you laugh everytime you look at it
Ok so I have a bunch!
Yep we are so special it crazy...
My favorite part of this picture is definitely the fact that it looks like Meems and I are jumping in front of a moving car ( it was parked in case you were wondering).
Please notice Anna's scarf turban in place of a hat and my purple marshmallow appearance.
We were really trying hard to whip our hair... but alas it was just not going to happen.
Oh and this little jewel..
