Christ our Prince~

My girls Bible study group is going through a book that keeps on talking about Christ is to be your Prince. Some of the girls where confused because the first book we went through only talked about God as being our Father, and this book says we should think of him as our Prince. I don't really thing of Christ that way, but I do try to think of him as the only "guy" in my life right now. I don't need a boyfriend to distract me from the things that I need to be thinking about and working on. In other words, we shouldn't fill that void in our heart with boys. (I am talking to just girls right now) I think that it would be harder for girls that don't have fathers to stay away from the dating scene. I think that as girls we do need that male affirmation, and if we don't get it from out fathers or brothers, we will seek it elsewhere. That's where it gets dangerous.

I think that this Bible study book is trying to make a point that instead of boyfriends, we should look to Christ as the one who sustains us. He loved us first, and he made us the way we are, (the way we look) and he is the great artist of the universe. I like that because when I'm doing my hair or dressing I'm thinking about how God would like it. ( is it pretty and feminine like he made us to be, and is it modest.) That always makes me feel better when I'm down on the way I look. Someone in the study class said that people don't notice the way you look so much as they are focused in on themselves. (or something like that:) That also helps me when I'm feeling insecure. And when you say something stupid or do something wrong, other people don't remember it, but we dwell on it way to much. Just remember that Christ designed your looks the way he wanted them to be, and he loves you no mater what.

Snow Daze!

Wow! This is amazing! I can't believe that it was getting warm just last week! Now it's snowed! Here is a video that my brother, Adam put together of the fun that we had on the Lake Ray Roberts Dam on Friday. I do like warm weather better, but hey! Soon I'll be tired of it being so hot so I'm not complaining!

We went there with the Harris kids and their brother in law, Tommy Bosworth. His wife could not be there because she is expecting their first child any day now. So exiting!!! Its going to be a girl! We had a baby shower for her last month. It was grand! And now for the video.

My personal favorite part is at 4:00. I'm racing Shaffer and he does a face plant at the beginning of it. I laughed at for so long! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!




Love you all,
