Psalm 8:2-4: When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place, What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Psalm 147:4-5: He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name.
Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.
I like trying unique recipes, so when my friend Katie told me about this one, I was very "gun-ho" :)

Estoy muy emocionado por las elecciones, porque podre votar en el otono!
Me parece que la libertad de votar es una gran bendicion!
No quiero gastar esta bendicion!
Pues, hay mucha considerar cuando vayas a votar.
No me encanta la maquina elecoral. Prefiero la cabina electora porque es mas privado.
Es importante que estemos muy informado de todos los candidatos y sus creencias.
Estoy buscando un candidato que apoye nuestras libertades: de palabra, de prensa, de religion.
Tambien, quiero votar por un candidato que ponga de pie por verdad Bíblica.
Y uno de estos:
Hoy en dia, no es facil encontrar alguien que proteja los derechos del concebido.
Que tragédia!
En algunas paises, la gente no esta permitido votar. Ellos viven debajo una dictadura y estan presionados.
Pero tenemos la oportunidad de hablar sin rodeos! Que no gastemos esta oportunidad!
Es necesario que estemos buenos administradores de lo que Dios nos ha dado.
No solo debemos leer todo lo posible de los candidatos y sus creencias, sino tambien orar para sabeduria y visión.
Necesitamos preguntar de cada politico (a): ?Que apoyas?
El narcotrafico? La aumentacion de impuestos? La continuacion del gasto publico? inmigración ilegal? Una sistema nacional de salud? ayudas estatales?
Puedo continuar pero dejare aqui.
Si yo tuviera mas tiempo, explicaria mas.
Pero en corto, busca lo que cada candidato cree, y comparar todo esto a la verdad de la Biblia.
Se alinean?
Estas preguntando tu mismo (a), ?Debo votar?
Mi respuesta es esto: Ya lo creo!!! Si como no!!!!!
You're heart starts beating a mile a minute as you mentally retrace all your steps.
You call the friends who were with you, ask them if they remember seeing it.
Often, this panic is followed by a drive back to all the places you visited, and frantic backtracking.
This has happened to me a lot recently... twice with my purse, once with my coat.
All within the last month, actually! :/
Thankfully, I didn't lose anything (Praise the Lord!).
Nevertheless, it isn't an experience I want to repeat.
I think I would now qualify myself as an expert in the area of leaving stuff behind, and I'd like to give you a few words of advice so you don't make the same mistake I did.
1) Don't put put your purse down. If you must set it down for some reason, make sure its either in your car, on your lap, on your foot, or right in front of you so you trip over it if you try to walk away.
2) If you are carrying lots of stuff (backpack, bags, instruments, etc) with you, just leave your purse at home! It's way to easy to forget your purse, when you're carrying so much other stuff. Bring a wallet in your pocket instead.
3) No matter how warm you get, don't take your coat off. If you're warm and you take your coat off, you won't miss it when you leave... and you won't realize it's gone till the next time you leave your house!
If you must must must take your coat off, carry it on your arm or put it in your car right away!
4) Whenever you leave anywhere, ask yourself: Coat? Purse?
This will save you lots of stress. Believe me ;)
Blah.
Once again, I'm sick. I think it was allergy induced... My system just wasnt ready for all this allergy stuff in MARCH!
It's frustrating to be sick when there's so much needing to be done and so much going on: school, schedule, life... etc.
AHHK!!
But it's for the better. God knew I needed a few days to rest. Being sick has forced me to take a quick break, which I otherwise wouldn't have taken due to the late hour in this school year and the studying that needs to be done.
I was dying at band practice. Try playing a wind instrument when you can't breathe through your nose- *GASPS FOR AIR* Ay ay ay...
At the moment, I'm listening to some lovely music, enjoying a cold, crisp plum, and yacking with my mum and sistah!
My sis <3 <3 <3
Em is so awesome- she's is gentle and loves pretty much every animal that God created.
Especially Lagomorphs.
;)
She's witty, inspiring, diligent, fast on her feet, insightful, often more mature than me, smart, loyal, and beautiful inside and out!
And best of all, Em encourages me in my walk with the Lord!
We have so many goofy, fun, happy, sad, insane, EPIC, spumoni, fowaboodle, xuiite, spumoni memories. "And that's just one more reason why...."
She's really awesome. Sometimes I forget how awesome she is...
Like when I'm sitting on the couch complaining: "I'm all alone! I don't have any friends! ...Blaaahh Blahhhh blah."
Em: *Ahem!*
Me: "Tehe.. I meant I don't have any friends besides you. We're best friends, that's understood!"
She usually forgives me :)
Love you LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS Melanie Suzanne <3
ADVENTURES IN BAKING!
I really enjoy baking and trying new recipes.
This week I finally got around to trying a cooking recipe a mom from church gave me!
I substuted a few things for the eggs and butter so the cookies would be dairy free.
The end result:
I used quick oats, so they turned out like a cross between a choco-chip cookie without the chips and oatmeal cookies.
I really want to find a chocolate chip that doesn't have milk... I'm not sure if that's possible.
But I'm going to start looking.
Choco-chip cookies just aren't quite the same without chocolate! :P
