*Sisters, sisters, there were never such devoted sisters)*

Sisters are a blessing from God! Leah is the greatest sister and friend anyone could ask for! We definitely know how to make each other laugh!

Today we decided to do a photo shoot together (to capture our craziness :P) And yes it was twenty degrees!! It was extremely cold but extremely fun!

Abigail took the pictures for us. She is quite a good photographer! :)

So enjoy a few of our crazy pictures!!

My To Do List

I write a To Do list for myself every day. It helps me get what I need to get done, done.

Today's To Do list is a little extra long. See this is what happens when I don't get my To Do list done from a few days ago...the To Do's pile up pretty fast.

It's a punishment for not doing what you were suppose to be doing in the past few days :P Not checking many things off my list.

So today my list is extra long...think I learned my lesson? Hopefully :)

Lists are a good thing to have! It helps your day to be productive and purposeful! You just have to be careful with a To Do list.

First:

be careful that your list doesn't enslave you! If you don't get everything done on the list it's not the end of the world! Don't be stressful with it because then it becomes more about checking it off the list instead of learning from it or applying whatever your doing to your life.

If I make a To Do list with my school and get all stressed about just getting it done I'm not going to be learning anything I'm just going to be checking it off of the list. Not a good idea.

Second:

be careful of being lazy with your list of things to do. Don't put it on tomorrow's list. Be as diligent as possible in your work. Make it a goal to get it all done. Don't be lazy about it.

Be like Jesus. Go about your Father's work. If what you do is for the glory of God than that's all that matters. Putting it all down on a list will help you. Be diligent but don't get stressful about it.

Make sure that the things you put on your list is for God's glory!

God has made my dream come true!

You know when you watch those silly movie's where it says "Your dreams will come true!"

Well a dream has come true for me! But God is the only one who has made this dream possible!

I have been wanting to dance in pointe shoes ever since I started taking ballet at 4 years old.

These past three years that I have taken ballet I have worked hard to be able to dance in pointe shoes. I have finally reached the level of pointe shoes! God is so good!

I sewed my ribbons and elastics on my shoes and I had my first pointe lesson last night. Now these shoes aren't suppose to be comfortable or easy. In fact they are suppose to hurt! "Beauty is pain", I believe that whole heartedly! ;)

I have a lot of work to do before I will actually be able to dance in them but with the help of the Lord I can do it! I love dancing! I love dancing because I dance for Jesus Christ. He's the one who has given me the "grace" to dance and I give Him all the glory, honour and praise while I dance :D

God Bless, Grace Anne

The Sky

I went to lay out on the car with Abigail and I looked up and noticed how cool the clouds were in the sky. Then I looked a way off and saw this patch of blew near the horizon. It looked so neat. I had to take a picture. God even creates beauty in the clouds!

Ballet!

There are two girls in our family who absolutely love ballet. That would be Abigail and me :)

She hasn't ever taken lessons but she most definitely loves dancing around the house and dressing up like a ballerina. She got this adorable tutu for Christmas. It was too cute! We had to have a photo shoot!

She's been working on her ballerina position ;)

Now I'm the other lover of ballet :) I took when I was really little and then just started back three years ago. Thankfully I have finally gotten to the level of pointe shoes! I've been working hard to get to this stage :)

Mom took this very artistic picture of my boots and pointe shoes... a cowgirl ballerina :D

It is a blessing from the Lord. I love dancing! For my birthday Mom and Dad gave me my first pointe shoes :D I'm very excited to be starting in this new level of ballet!

God Bless,

Back to reality

wow...my holiday's were amazing! I had such a great time with friends and family!! I love seeing peoples faces light up when they open a gift from you. It's so precious (especially when it's your little sisters who open a little tea set!)

But things come to an end....like the holiday's did. And when the holiday's end reality starts.

This past week and up coming week are full of speech and debate prep and tournament! I am really excited about this year of speech and debate! I'm excited about the messages in my speeches, I'm excited about standing up and presenting those messages and I'm excited about the people I get to see at the tournaments! :D

God has been so gracious to give me the energy to write my speeches :)

Life is good because God is good!

God Bless,
