Come away with Jesus Conference!-Part 1

Hey Y'all! this last weekend I went to a simulcast lady's conference by Leslie Ludy! It was really Great!! I don't really take notes vary well but I tried! so I thought I would share and highlight a little bit of it! and some of the things I learned and liked about it!
                                       ---A  set apart girl conference--Come away with Jesus!
                                               Three things to leave behind. 
                                                   1. Luke warm living
                                                   2. Friendship with the world
                                                   3. Half-hearted devotion 
1. Come Away From Luke warm living: Revelation 3:16,19-20 We cannot have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ unless we come away from lukewarm living. We need to be all for the Lord."Is prayer your steering wheel, or your spare tire?"-Corrie ten Boom  If everything else in your life was stripped away ,would Jesus be enough?

 2. Come away from friendship with the world: James 4:4  John 15:19  2 Corinthians 6:17 Jesus does not ask for a partial commitment. He asks us to let go of everything else, and cling to Him. We can't do the things that the world does and participate them. For we are changed and are different then the world. we can't be a very good witness if we are doing what they are doing. Listing to the kind of music they listen to, Watching the kind of movies they watch, talking about the things they talk about, wearing the kinds of things they wear. etc.. True Christianity will influence the world-but it will never be applauded by the world.        The world isn't rejecting Christianity today because we aren't enough like them, but because we are too much like them.   It is not popularity and cultural relevance that will win the world for Christ, but men and woman who live and die as if Jesus is all that matters.----This isn't as good as the really conference but its the best I can do! Part 2 coming soon! Blessings-Rebekah

Hey! How are y'll!? I thought I would post a picture of two of my sisters and I right before I got my brace's off! Three of us girls had brace's on at the same time!
From left to right: Hannah, Me, Abbie
It's not to great of a picture but it works! I have 6 older siblings and 3 younger siblings! The one on the left (Hannah) is right over me in age, and on the right (Abbie) is right under me! We are stair step in age, some times people think we're triplets! It's kinda fun sometimes! How many siblings do you have? and Do you want a small or large family? : ) -Blessings-Rebekah "Lo children are a gift from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is His reward."-Psalm 127:3

Garden!

Hey, how are y'all!? Our garden has been interesting this year. I didn't plant a whole lot of stuff this time, because the last few times it hasn't done so well. so I was kinda discouraged, so I just planted Corn, Cucumbers, Squash, jalapenos, and tomatoes! and they've done good! Here they are in pictures!                                                                                                    
Cucumbers! 
Squash!

Corn!

Jalapenos!

Squash!
                                 our Tomatoes didn't do so well, but I'll try again in the fall! We also had a strange corn                                   stalk!
The corn was growing on the Milo! haha!
                            And I'm going to plant potatoes for the first time! so that will be fun! I've started a compost pile to put on our fall garden, I hope that helps it do better!! gardens are a lot of hard work, but it's worth it! Well, that's all for now!   " That you also aspire to lead a quite life,to mind your on business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those are outside, and that you may lack nothing!" 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Blessings-Rebekah

Bible reading challenge!

 On June 1st some of the people from my church, and some other friends, started a Bible reading challenge: Read the Bible in 90 days! It is quite a challenge! The amount a day varies from about 8 chapters to 16 chapters. So far I have kept up! We meet every two weeks to watch a video of a guy kinda summing up what we've read, and then discuss it! We have only had one meeting so far, but it was great! I hope I don't fall behind! I will keep you updated on how I'm doing! Blessings-Rebekah

Hey! This is my first blog post! I've wanted to start a blog for a while now, but finally got one up and started. I want to blog just about things that are going on in my life! And first of all, I got my braces off a couple of weeks ago, on May 5th! Here are some before and after picture's.
                                                        Right before I got them off!
                                                               And after!

I love it without them, it is so much easier to brush them! It's funny because before I got them on, I remember thinking that if i had them on for 2 years, (That's the average to have them on) i would be Sixteen when i would get them off, and that was old! But now i realize that i'm still so young!! Blessings-Rebekah
