Here is the video that I made for my cheerleaders! Our last practice was on Monday night! We had an amazing season that flew by! Enjoy!

It doesn't matter where you live, I can sign you up! Let me know if you are interested!

Days 3,4 & 5 in Puerto Rico! we went to El Yunque which is the United States largest rain forest. We hiked about 2 miles to la coca, (which is the waterfall) It was amazing! We went to the beach for a little while and then Yusef and I went out with some of his old classmates! We went to Isabella and then to Rincon to visit the lighthouse. My friend, Eileen, came with us to help with the girls!

Day 2 in Puerto Rico! Today we went to Build a Bear and the girls got outfits, carriers, purses, makeup and shoes for their bunnies that Titi, Tio, Astrid and Manuel gave them when we arrived here! After that we drove to Utuado in the mountains and took a boat on a lake to eat at a little spanish restraunt. It was beautiful! On the way there we stopped and bought coconuts. The man who we bought them from cut the top off, drilled a hole and put a straw in it! We drank the coconut water and when we were done, he cut them in half and we ate the meat of the coconut! On the way home we stopped at a outdoor mall and the girls played in a little playground there and ate ice cream! We are having so much fun!

DAY 1 of Puerto Rico!

We had a great day today visiting Old San Juan with Titi Sarah, Tio July, Astrid and Manuel! It was so beautiful! We went to the Fort (el morro) The Spanish built it in the colonial times to protect the island and they used it in war! The girls and I tried our first Limber and we ate at a great spanish restaurant! We rolled down the hills and flew kites too! We're off to a great start and are looking foward to the days to come!

Last night I did a promotion for Samsung at Dancing with the Stars in Atlantic City. It was a fun promo and I got to see 20 minutes of the show, which was enough for me!

We had our third game for Upward Cheerleading today. This is the team that I coach. They are all kindergarten and first graders! Ariana is the second one on the left in the front!

This was A devotion that I did that really spoke to me! I hope it does to you to!!!

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

In our homes, we use smoke detectors to warn us of fire. Our car's dashboard has lights to indicate a malfunction. We'd be foolish to ignore these warnings. Similarly, we need to pay close attentions to the scriptures that warn us about the terrible consequences for rejecting God's provision of a Savior.
The Bible tells us how to be reconciled to God so we can spend eternity with Him. We need to understand and accept that...

SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD(Romans 3:23;Col:1:19-22).
Because of Adam and Eve's rebellion, we all are born with a nature bent away from the Lord. His justice requires that we pay for our transgressions.
GOD SENT HIS SON JESUS TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT FOR US(1 Cor 15:3)
Only the death of one who was perfect would satisfy the Father's righteous judment. Jesus lived a life without sin, which qualified him to become our substitute. He willingly took our place and died in order to pay our penalty. God accepted his death in place of ours and declared us righteous in his sight(Rom 3:22)
SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT, RECEIVED THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS (Eph 2:8-9)
Our good works will neither satisfy divine justice nor pay for our transgressions. They are not what God requires for forgiveness or adoption into His family. Faith in Jesus is the only way to God (John 14:6). When we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord, heaven becomes our eternal destination.

God wants you to live forever with Him. If you haven't yet made your eternal destination certain, you should do so now!

This devotion has really been on my heart lately and today's message at church was all about heaven and why we are here! Our pastor was showing us in the bible many places where it says that we are only here for a short time and if we would only realize that, how much easier would it be to overcome trials and worries of this world. I thank God that I have a relationship with him and know where I'm going and I hope that all of you do too! If not, he is only a prayer away!!!

New Years Eve 15 couples met at church and had dinner, played a couple of games and had a great time! Afterwards we went to our friends John & Ann for the countdown!

Last night we had our church's annual Women's Christmas Dinner at the Smithville Inn. The message was about hope for the coming year and one phrase that stuck with me is "We don't know what tomorrow holds, but we know who holds tomorrow" That definetly gives me hope for the trials that are sure to come! Here are some pictures of last night!

If you've called me, you've heard a portion of this song. Here is the song in it's entirety. It ministered to me so much the first time I heard it and I still feel the same way every time I hear it. I hope it blesses you as well!
