Hey everybody! I know it has been almost 2 months since I last did a post! I haven't been consistent in posting often. So, I will post right now!

I'm just going to ramble about some of my thoughts and i'll also put up some music videos.

I don't know what all God has for my life or everything He wants me to do. But I do know that I'm not just supposed to live my life for me but for Him. He wants us all to serve Him. He is the one who paid for not just my sins but everyone's. He showed such great love when he hung on the cross and let us go free. I don't just want to act like a follower of Christ, I want to be one; I don't just want to look happy, I want to be truly happy; I don't want to screw up the rest of my life, I want to know what to do. Here is a song that I like; it is called Blink by Revive.

Even though we may have wasted part of our life it isn't too late to change. God loves us and wants the best for us, but He can't use us if we don't seek Him. I need to get serious about seeking and following Him. Here is another song, it is called Who You Are by Unspoken.

Anyway, thanks for listening to those songs. I have a favor to ask of you all; would you guys mind praying for me or giving me any bits of advice that you have found helpful in your walk with the Lord. I know I need to follow Him. Thanks for all of your friendship! I hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Love, Rachel ♥

Happy New Year everybody!!!!! It is 2013, 2012 is now history! Does anyone have any resolutions?

Today is our last day of Christmas break! But I've had fun on my break though! We started out our break with the flu; Andrew even ended up in the hospital with dehydration and a fever! But we're all over the flu now and recently we've been sledding in the snow! For Christmas we had my grandpa over for lunch and we exchanged gifts and had desserts! On the 29th my mom, sister, and I went to a bridal brunch for my cousin who is getting married this year! Also on the 29th my family went to my grandpa and grandma Young's for a Christmas get-together with them! We ate dinner with them, exchanged gifts and did various other things. On New Year's Eve (yesterday) we had some friends over for dinner, games, and desserts! We had fun!!!!!!!! Today all of us except dad went sledding on a hill not too far away from our house! Even Isaiah went! He was kinda scared a couple of the times he went down the hill! We had a fun time there! Those are some of the things we've been doing around the holidays! On the 7th my sister-in-law and Liam (my nephew) will be coming up to NY from TX! Then we will probably get to see the newest Young in person!! Anyway, I hope all of you have a wonderful year and a great day!!

Hello everyone!!

So it is now December!!!!!!!!! I'm going to put up a Christmas music playlist! However if you don't want to listen to the music or if it is getting on your nerves let me know. You can also pause the playlist!

We have some snow! It has been melting some though. But maybe the grass will soon be covered again. My brothers have been having fun playing out in the snow building snow forts/castles. They will get a bucket/ tote, stuff snow in it, and then dump it over to make a block of snow! Even Isaiah, age 2, has been out in the snow!

I have been doing school, chores, making cards, baking, and other stuff! I also went out sledding with the boys a couple of days ago! That probably won't be the last time I go sledding this year either!

Anyway, have a great day everyone!!!!!!!

This week

Hello all!!!! Here is a post about my week!

On the 25th it was my brother, Noah's, 5th birthday!!! On the 24th we had my grandpa over for a combined birthday party for Noah, Isaiah, and me! At that combined party we had cupcakes and ice-cream and we played the Wii (grandpa played too!)

We have a skunk that has been getting in our barn and eating the cat food. So a couple of nights ago, I went out to the barn and the skunk was in the barn eating the cat food and he got scared and hid under some stuff in our barn. So I went and got a live trap and set it; I put cat food in a bowl and put it in the trap. And then I went to another part of the barn and the skunk came out from its hiding place and was sniffing around and he drank some of the cat's water. He then noticed or smelled that there was cat food in the trap so he tried to get to the food from the back of the trap but didn't succeed in that. Well he finally went in the trap and the door closed behind him. So, ok, I caught the skunk right?! Well temporarily!! The next morning my dad went out to the barn and found out that the skunk had gotten out the back of the trap which hadn't been all the way closed! So my dad reset the trap, but tonight I found one of our cats, Mack, inside the trap with the door closed behind him!!! Maybe we'll catch that skunk yet!!!!!!!

Any way, tomorrow Mom, Kim, and I are supposed to go shopping in Erie, PA! We are planning to leave for Erie at 8:30 a.m. and get home around dinner time! We don't go shopping in Erie very often; we did go last year though!

I have taken my youngest brother, Isaiah, on some walks the past few days! The weather has been pretty nice! On the walks he likes to hold on to a leaf and try to throw gravel into the water when we're on the bridge!

Well have a great day!
