Colton's Gecko

This last Sunday, my younger brother Colton found a Leopard Gecho (We think)at our Church somewhere outside! And he asked mommy if he could keep it as a pet. And mommy said yes! So, after Church, we went to eat then we all(except daddy) went to PetsMart to get the gecho stuff. We took it home, and set it all up in Colton's room. And the gecho keeps changing to white, then a greyish kind of color! And we don't thing Leopard gechos changed colors like that! So, we don't know, but at least he is living!:) Now Colton finally has one of his favorite animals as a pet! He is thrilled! He is kinda creepy though! I've held him once...he feels kinda creepy! :) God bless!

Slow Waters Run Deep

I don't know why, but I am slow to understand things right away. And I was feeling really upset about it a few days ago. And my Pastor from my Church said "Don't worry Emily, slow waters run deep." And that made me feel a lot better! :) So if anyone ever feels like they are the only one not understanding something, don't be upset about it! You are not the only one! And it's not that you aren't smart, it just takes a little more time! God Bless! ~Emily

Rock Creek Girl's Camp 2010!!

I'm terribly sorry that my blog is so boring! Please forgive me for that! :)

This last week there is this thing at my church called Girls Camp! They have it every year for girl's age 10-18. This was the first year I was able to attend. Because last year they didn't have it.

Every day we went up there at 9:00. Had a Bible study with the woman that had put almost all of it together! She taught us many things about guarding our heart! And what to desire and not to desire. It was very nice! I learnd a lot!

Then, after our Bible study, a elderly woman came up to teach us how to knit dish cloths! We all enjoyed it! And she saw how strange we were! :)

Then, we would have a little break before lunch! Some of the girls's mothers would come up each day to make lunch for us. It was a big blessing to all of us!

Then we would play music and sing hymns! It was so much fun! There were 5 violin players, one flute player, and another woman that was helping out played the piano, and the rest sung!

We did special things different days. One of the days we wen't to go help mother's from the church that had little ones. We helped clean their houses and watch/play with the children.

Another day, we wen't to a girl's house that had a pool and we had saftey, then we swam for a hour or two.

And we also had a Tea Party for some elderly ladied from our church! We prepared tea, of course, mini brownies, fruit, etc. And our pastors wife came and preached to us! Then we sung and played for them!

And each of the days we sewed little dresses for little girl's in Africa! The woman that put it all together is going to go to Africa in a few months!

Then the last day, we deep cleaned the church! That was interesting! :) But fun because we were serving the Lord and the people who wen't to the church.

All was very exciting! We were all truly blessed by the woman that put it all together! Thank The Lord for a wonderful Church family!

God bless!
