Books Review: The care and keeping of you 1 and 2

Sorry it took so long for me to get another post in. (school's been taken up all my spare time)
 In this post I'd like to review the care and keeping of you one and two by Cara Natterson.




It talks about physical and emotional change. Just about every girl in the world who goes through puberty feels embarrassed. 
These books pretty much solve that problem.

here are a few of the items that r in the contents: Back to body basics, treat your body right, your new look, reaching new heights, snooze time, keeping clean, pimple prevention, Help! Q&A, and it keeps on going.
You know that saying don't judge a book by its cover? You know why to not judge a book by its cover? Because the pages inside are coated and overflowing with an abundance of knowledge and wisdom. These books have helped me so much and I hope they help you, too.

   We also did a meet the author event and I got my Care and Keeping of You books 1 and 2 books signed by Cara Natterson (haha that rhymed)

                                                                 Julies Patchwork Outfit
Julie's Pierced ears
                                      The earrings she got with the piercing - the ones she has on
                                                                 The True Spirit Accessories
                                                                       The Library Card

The World through God's eyes by God, written on paper by me

I have kinda a interesting story about this...
i was sitting on the bench at a sort of recess because i was clueless as to what to do so i started writing and like i told my mom later it was like God took my hand and wrote it so here ya go...

 A step, a foot dragging, these are little things that each tell a story, little things that people think nothing of, yet play a big role in their play of life. Why? You might ask this question, confusion clouding your face. Because without these things you may not have lived. As you are a normal human being, you might say this stuff is pointless, but without these things your life could be different. Maybe a child just being born in a winter snow storm needs the help of a doctor who can’t come because his only shoes were worn thought to a hole from his habit of dragging his feet. Little things build up to big things and big things can be life-changing. All things God weaves together making you who you are. This is how God works.

P.S. I looked online at various photos of God so here's a few of 'em

Random Story: The Hidden Gift by LydiaMartha

Yet another random story by me. It is called The Hidden Gift. Enjoy!!!

I had always had a gift no one else had not like drawing or singing or enough smarts to beat Albert Einstein in a math competition, but more like supernatural, unreal.
Since age 3 I had always made noises no one else could: odd grunts, squealing noises, and a lot more indescribable noises.
I have heard my parents talking about this. Worrying that this would change the path they laid out for me.
Lately it has gotten worse. I don’t know how to explain it for it spirals out of control too hard for me to comprehend. I try though and from what I understand I am the only human who knows their language, the only one in the world………..

It started one day I was taking a walk, alone I rarely did this, but this day I did. My family had a huge forest that was part of our home. We had 300 acres and I loved every inch of it.
       I sighed as I entered the “lake” area then sat down on the small beach, hearing the birds all around me. I looked up and without thinking I let out one of my weird noises. The birds were all silent as if scared off then they all started making noises that twisted around me teasing my ears, but eventually formed words.
       “She is home,” one cawed
       “The foretold one is home,” another agreed.
       “What foretold one?” I asked feeling stupid talking to birds.
       One began to answer, but stopped as its group stopped.
       “I’ll take care of this, birds. It is my job.” A deep voice entered my head I turned and saw a wolf.
       I too dumbfounded to speak just stared.
       The squawks and flutters of wings coming from behind me, told me that the birds were leaving.
       “Soavaly,” he said his voice filled with sympathy, “Your mother has not told you why you’re here, has she?”
“Um no?” the way my words came out it sounded like a question were as it should have been an answer, “a-and anyway,” I fought to go on, “w-why would she tell me I’m going crazing, hearing wolves and birds speak and all.”
He didn’t answer my question, but instead stared off in the distance muttering under his breath, “Why’d we give her that retirement job.”
“My mom is not retired she works as a secretary at the estate office in San Francisco.
The wolf stared at me or more like through me in a creepy way.
“Um…” I realized I had no idea what to call him.
“Lobo,” he now looked at me much to my relief.
 “Lobo,” my voice telling him I needed answers, “what were those birds talking about you know about me being the chosen one and all.” I laugh a little hoping he would say it was a joke and someone climb out of the wolf laughing their heads off.
“That,” he said, “you will soon learn the answer to.” The wolf walked across the beach and over to a large rock. Curious, I followed. He said something to low and quiet.
A bright light flashed and I fell into darkness.


Hoped u liked it. Bye.

Book Review: Storm Runners by Roland Smith

Storm Runners by Roland Smith is an amazing book.



It is filled with adventure, (from a hurricane) friendship, (how much u need others) scariness, (from being in a hurricane)and (a little bit of) love. The reason there is love is because of Chase (the main character) and Nicole (u have to read the book to know who she is). There is no real kissing, but there is love in the pages of this book.
         This would be a good choice for a 6th grade and up.

        I hope u read this book.

More Story ish writting by me


    I felt my whole body jolt forward and my muscles propelled me forward. I heard the frightened whinnies of the horses of my herd as the raiders danced with perfect gaits behind us trying to lead us into the shining rock gates that held such agony and pain within. Not far beyond mist enveloped the earth. I felt my mate's black pelt brush against my own. As black pelt brushed black pelt and eyes met we shared one look and cantered into the mist, vanishing from human's eyes.

i hope u like this story I made up while going to BestBuy to get the laptop that I am typing on right now. Anyway thank u for reading this weird story lol.

Story Ish Writing by me

Ok so today i did know what to do so i wrote a story called...........um i really don't have a name for it ( if anyone has any ideas please post them on my blog if not that's ok). Anyway here ya go. 
I stared horrified at what I was seeing. Animals staring at me in pain and longing, as their masters beat them. Yowls echo in my brain and all around me. Yowls of longing, of love, of pain ran through my ears and into my brain. They stayed there.
I wanted to move forward, but with my brain filled with the animal’s words it would not do anything else. All I could do was stare in horror.
A voice filled my brain suddenly making words I could not here.

It is kind of a odd story that i have no idea what part of my mind it came from, but somehow it came to make a story. Hope you enjoy it.

Candy Review: Unreal Candy

     This stuff is the best (both in taste and for your health). It is are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than most candy. I learned about this good stuff from my mom who learned it from my grandpa and now I am telling you about it.
       They have a selection of M&Ms, Peanut M&Ms, Milky Way, Snickers and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I have tried the M&Ms and Peanut M&Ms and they are gooooooooooooooood.
     
         So their story started simple, a question  "WHY DOES THE JUNK FOOD WE LOVE HAVE TO BE SO BAD FOR US?" a 13 year old boy (by the name of Nicky) asked after a bit research. What he found was that some stuff such as hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives was not there for the taste, but there to make it cheaper.
    
         They said this on their website "Nicky had a hunch that without the junk, candy could taste better. With the help of his older brother Kris, and his dad, they set out to prove it."


I like this because it is very good for you and they seem like something i think Jesus would eat if he were here on Earth.

        First of all i want to wish u a Happy New Year ( i can't believe its 2013). I hope u all r enjoying this birthday of Jesus and Christmas break.
        I don't know 'bout u but i looked at the new ag doll of the year her name is Saige.




She is an artistic and horsey girl.


 I think she is a really pretty doll, but u might have other thoughts.

I myself haven't read these yet, but boy do i want to.

(I copied this from ag so they get the rights and stuff)
"Saige Copeland loves spending time on her grandma's ranch, riding horses and painting. Her school made the tough choice to cut art classes, which means she's lost her favorite subject. So when her grandma decides to organize a "save the arts" fundraiser and parade to benefit the school, Saige jumps on board. She begins training her grandma's beautiful horse, Picasso, for his appearance in the parade. Then her grandma is injured in an accident, and she wonders what she can do to help. Can she ride Picasso in the parade and make her grandma proud? Can Saige still raise money to protect the arts at school? Author: Jessie Haas. Paperback. 128 pages. Ages 8+"
Thats the first book above.
"Life is changing for Saige. Her grandma is still recovering from the accident, and she misses the time they spent together. She takes comfort in riding Georgia, her grandma's youngest horse. She knows her grandma needs cheering up, so Saige comes up with a plan to restore their special art afternoons. Inspired by her grandma, she organizes a "Day of Beige" at her school to show how boring the world would be without creativity and color. Things are finally starting to get better, and then grandma tells her of plans to sell Georgia. Can Saige find a way to keep the horse she loves—and help save the arts at her school? Author: Jessie Haas. Paperback. 128 pages. Ages 8+"
And that is the second book above.
    So i was looking at her and something happened on the computer and i went back to the starting page and this is what i saw...
