2 Timothy 3:14-16
But as for you continue in what you have learned and become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it.
And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Sing it
You'll never forget it! Isn't that the truth!
Kebrom Atsede and JoyLynn were watching some shows that I haven't seen for several years and they were listening to the theme songs and suddenly I realized that I was singing also! We had dance class, they music went on and all of sudden my feet had a mind of there own. I was doing the dance that I hadn't done for a LONG time!
Some thing's will be locked in my brain forever.
Music is something that feeds my soul. Especially when the song is about cheeseburgers. ;) But seriously, it is not the rare to hear a song that the lyrics relate to how I sometimes feel.
What is really fun is when my Dad will play a new song, and the lyrics just come to me. I never heard the song in my life, but the words will just force there way right out of my mouth.
Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs.
This time I finally see the reason why
I can't do this alone
It took some time and concentration
To believe it, this I know.
I need to build my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up there's no more time,
To try to mess with this design
Two nights compete everyone's asleep
and I don't want to say these words to you
I'll be your hand take me as I am
I just wanna be with you
Take me as I am cause I'm going
I was too scared to start now
I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am, cause I'm growing
but its so hard to tell when I'm not used to this soul
Take me as I am, cause I'm going
I was too scared to start now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am, Cause I'm growing
but its so hard to tell when I'm not used to this soul
I lift my voice to sing out
Let the sound of my heart bring out
These hands aren't holding me down
Never again will I be with out
I need to feel my faith sometimes
But I am so comfortable in line
I'm up there's no more time
To try to mess with this design
Two nights compete everyone's asleep
and I don't want to say these words to you
I'll be your hand take me as I am
I just wanna be with you
Take me as I am, cause I'm going
I was too scared to start now
I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am, cause I'm growing
but its so hard to tell when
I'm not used to this soul
Take me as I am, cause I'm going
I was too scared to start now I'm too scared to let go
Take me as I am, cause I'm growing
But its so hard to tell when I'm not used to this soul
Take me as I am: FM static

Verse of the Week
Can you believe it? I forgot the verse of the week! So here is the mid-week verse of the week. (-:
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
In Sunday school that is one of the first verses that you learn. Every believer knows that one. But you always need the reminder.
I heard a sermon about Jesus' crucifixion and how much sacrifices He made. At first I was all like, I don't need to listen. I have heard that story millions of times. But this pastor preached it differently. All of a sudden, I realized that I didn't know the full story. I thought I did, until I head this pastor. I came to a whole new realization about my belief. I heard the story, but I never really heard it. Yes, I had Jesus in my heart. I prayed to Him, He answered my prayers, but all of a sudden I heard this story in a completely different light.
I am so happy and thankful that God sent Jesus to die on the cross for my sins.
I would like to encourage you to go and read the crucifixion story again. I am almost positive that you will discover something new.

It's official.
Summer is over. At least in my book it is.
We went down to the river and JoyLynn, Atsede and I were running through the water along the bank as fast as we could. We got really wet, but it was fun. NOW summer can be over.
And now I cant wait for it to get cold. I love getting out of bed in the morning and putting on my bath robe and slippers as fast as I can and then running to the kitchen for a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. Or coffee. (;
I love cuddling up by the fire and reading or watching a chick flick with my Mom and sis. I love everything about it being cold! To me, there is no downside. Okay, maybe one. When we have to get into the freezing cold car in the morning for church or after one of the basketball games. Otherwise, who could hate it?
Waking up in the morning to look out your window and see a blanket of snow, wearing pretty sweaters and cute shoes. I LOVE IT!
It also doesn't hurt that my birthday is in the fall, or that Christmas is in the winter. That doesn't damper it at all that's for sure.
Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall. I love them all. But the best is Winter with the holidays when we can rest.
Hey, I am a poet and I didn't know it!

Animals
We have lots of animals. They are all stupid, but yet smart and cute and funny. That's it in a pea pod.
First off we have Samson. Stupid, smart, cute and he makes us laugh. Dad isn't too fond of him though.
That's Mom with Samson and the 2 cats Merry and Pippin. Merry is the one in between her legs. And he is the boy. At the top.
Books is on the bottom. He is not that fuzzy now. But he is still cute!
Now, Melody and he baby Prince.
They are my llamas. Prince is just a baby but he will probably be bigger than Melody.
That is all for now!

Family
I love my family. I get annoyed at my family. I get embarrassed by my family. I get mad at my family. I cant live with out my family. I think about Kebrom and Atsede. Abandoned by there own family. The mom may of had no choice but can you even imagine how hard that must of been for her? To give up 2 of her own children? It hurts my heart. My life would be terrible with out my family to share it with.
My grandparents, all 4 of them. They all encourage me in there own way, they pray for me and they are with my every step of the way. My aunts. I read something that said only aunts can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister, and play like a friend. I read that and I thought, that describes my aunts! They all love me and I need my aunts to help me when my Mom is occupied. My uncles. They are all so much fun. They laugh with me, and sometimes at me. But not in a mean way. My cousins. My cousins are like my many best friends. Each one of my cousins hold a special place in my heart. Sisters? Oh where do I begin. I love my sisters. They encourage me, the pray and play with me. They do everything with me. My brothers. Fun and annoying. Dad. Without him where would I go for my spiritual troubles. And sport troubles. (;
My Mom. Oh my mom. No words can describe her. She sacrifices everything for her kids and husband. I cant even begin to tell you how wonderful she is. And I am not just saying that.
All of my family is special. All of my family knows how to make me laugh and make me feel special. I absolutely love my family. I can not do anything with out them.

Verse of the Week
Forgot about it yesterday. But that does'nt mean it's too late!
Isaiah 40:29-31
"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the week. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint."
By the way, these are all from a NIV Bible.
That is one of my favorite verses. During our adoption journey there was a song by Lincoln Brewster called Everlasting God. That song was on our adoption play list. It is based on that verse above. Kebroms middle name is Isaiah because that verse carried my Mom through the journey.
Here are some of the lyrics to Everlasting God
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord.
Wait upon the Lord we will wait upon the Lord.
*repeat*
Our God. You reign forever
Our hope. Our strong deliverer.
You are the everlasting God.
The everlasting God.
You do not faint you wont grow weary
Your the defender of the weak.
You comfort those in need.
You lift us up on wings like eagles.
That is the first part and the chorus. I think that it just repeats untill the bridge where one guy is singing the chorus and the other is singing the first verse. I absolutely love that song.
