4 days till Christmas?!

Hey!
Can you all believe that there is only 4 days till Christmas!! 4 days!! It definitely has snuck up on me! Nobody might be reading this because of Christmas hustle and bustle but I'm posting it anyway! I'm on Christmas break! I got done Friday! I told my teacher (a.k.a my mom) that I would rather do school into a little bit of the summer instead of trying to finish all of it now. When you're not feeling well everyday( I've been not feeling well for a long time, but I will talk all about that sometime later, like after the New Year) its hard to get everyday things done much less school! I also can't believe its going to be 2010!! It seemed SO far off and now it's so close!
I made my friend Sarahlynn a blog button and some icons!! I think her blog button is so cute! It totally fits her personality and blog! ( you can get to her blog by clicking on her name above or clicking on her blog button on my side bar, Sarahlynn's Sayings) You can go to her blog to see the different icons I made her too! :) My friend Ellyn told me how to make icons and I'm having so much fun making different ones*! I'm loving blogging and exploring all the things you can do!
Either Tuesday or Wednesday I will post my official Merry Christmas post because I'm not sure if I'll post Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
Thank you everyone who is reading my blog!

Merry CHRISTmas,
Samarah

* If you want to use one of my icons please leave a comment and let me know, I can give you the code or you can just click on the icon and get the code from Photobucket. Either way leave me a comment and let me know you are using it, and make sure you give me the credit for making it! Thanks! :)

Let It Snow let it snow let it snow

It snowed last night!! more than last time! YAY! I think it's supposed to snow some more so we might get a WHITE CHRISTmas after all!

well I'm not really supposed to be on the computer, it is 1:00 in the morning but oh well...

Hey,
Thank for praying about my headaches :) I don't have one right now! yay! and I hope I don't get any more! :)
I've added some more things to my side bar :) I've added some icons and a Lord of the Rings clock. I want to add some Christmas icons :) I'll probably get to that this weekend :)

well I gotta go to bed!

*samarah*

Headache, Headache, Go away, Come again another day!

I have a really bad headache :( When I went to bed last night I had a headache and I thought I could sleep it off but then when I was laying in my bed this morning, it started to come back! So its eeking its way back in! My little brother has a sore throat and his little voice is all raspy! :(
well I'm going to go lay down and pray that we feel better soon!!
hope you all are having a great day!
*samarah*

BTW, this is my 50th post!!

The Beauty of God's Grace

I heard this song The Beauty of Grace by Krystal Meyers a little while ago and I really liked it. I love it because the song is saying that no matter what we do God always loves us and forgives us! Every time i hear that song it reminds me of that! We aer constantly in need of grace!! and God just keeps giving it to us! I think that is awesome! That's certainly a reason for us to worship and praise our wondrous God!

Here the music video and the story behind the song by Krystal Meyers




“This song is a message from a friend to a friend or from God to His child, saying, ‘No matter what you've done - there is freedom, mercy and grace in my arms! You don’t have to be afraid of what I am going to think or say because I love you so much that none of that is ever going to change how I feel about you. So, come into my arms and find the grace that is overflowing.’” - Krystal Meyers
( I got this from http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/default.aspx)

The computer wasn't working last night so I wasn't able to post pictures :( I will do it sometime today though! (hopefully the computer will cooperate with me!)

have a great day!

Snow Pics

I'm so sorry that I haven't gotten the snow pictures up here until now. These past 2 weeks were crazy! We didn't get a lot of snow but we did get some.... so it counts! :)

Here are some pictures....


( I know I know you can still see the grass but hey! snow is snow! )



This is what I've been wanting to see.... my dog's paw prints in the snow!





I thought I had more pictures I was going to post but I can't find them! If I find them I will post them :)

Oh yeah, I made a blog button! Thank you SO much, Ellyn for your help! I have her blog button on my sidebar so go check her blog out! :) She's a pretty neat girl!! :D So if you want my blog button ( its underneath the About Me section on my sidebar) then comment or message me and I'll send you the code! I think my blog button is pretty cute if I do so myself! ;)

*samarah*

There's some more pictures and stuff I want to post but I'll do that tomorrow :) goodnite!

Bible Verses

The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.

~ Psalm 37:23, NLT

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

~ Isaiah 40:29, NLT

What happened to "What I'm listening to"?

On the way home from church I was thinking that I haven't done a What I'm listening to post lately! I think the reason is that I accidentally uninstalled iTunes off of our computer and my iPod is dead and I can't charge it!! I'm kinda upset about that because I use my iPod a lot! I'm having some trouble installing iTunes again but hopefully I'll figure it out soon :) anyway.... since my iPod isn't working I haven't really been listening to a whole lot of music. Really I've only been listening to Christmas music!! I love Christmas music! :) I love how Sarahlynn does the Christmas Countdown because everyday I look at her blog, I realize that Christmas is coming closer and closer! I'm very excited about Christmas, but I love the whole Christmas season :)
I probably won't do anymore What I'm listening to posts until after Christmas because my iPod is down and I'm mostly listening to Christmas music!

*samarah*

P.S. I will post pics of the snow and some other pictures tomorrow! :)

Snow!

We got snow yesterday morning! I totally forgot to mention it! :O It wasn't a lot at all and it melted fast but at least we got snow!! :) I want a white Christmas SO bad! :) I love snow!
pics to come.....

have a great day!

Revelation 15:3-4

..... and sang the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb:
"Great and marvelous are your deeds,

Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the ages.
Who will not fear you, O Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed."

I read Revelation chapter 15 this morning for my Bible Time, I really liked this verses.

I just have to announce.....

I LOVE twizzlers!!! They are my most favorite non chocolate candy of all time! I'm eating some right now, I remembered just how much I like them!

Have a great day!
