Be The Way God Made You To Be!

Happy Sunday! I am starting to feel the fall season coming around the corner even though it's the beginning of August! We have been having the PERFECT weather: 80s! It's way better than it being in the100s that's for sure. We also had a lot of windy days, and a few rainy moments this week! I just can’t believe I have only one more month of summer break! I don’t know about you, but this Summer and year has gone by so quickly! I am kinda bummed, because this season is just so much fun, and it's coming to an end! But I know that the Fall season is going to still be amazing and beautiful too:) Lets get into my week recap!

WHAT I BAKED: This week I made these easy + delicious Gummy Bears from this Book! I cannot believe how easy these treats are to make. This recipe makes 200 gummies with only 3-4 ingredients! Instead of buying unhealthy gummy bears at the store why not make them wayyy healthier and yummy at home! WHAT WE DID THIS WEEK:

Tuesday was the first day of August! We wen't with our friends to this fun place that had bumper cars, mini golf, arcade games, lazer tag, and so much more! I wen't on this fun race where we drove cars around a race track! It was such a great day!

Wednesday I did a lemonade stand! I sold strawberry lemonade, and the Homemade Gummy Bears (link to the recipe above) I made! Sadly, the gummy bears melted from the heat of the sun:( Next time I am going to put them in a cooler so they won’t melt next time! Thursday me and my sis Audrey went downtown with one of our friends! It was so sweet to hangout and connect with her! Friday I had my Bible Study! Afterwards, we had a fun sleepover with some of our friends! We ate dinner, went on a walk to the park, and watched a movie called “Storks”! It was such a treat to have a sleepover with our friends, since we barely do that! Saturday we went on a river float with the friends we had a sleepover with, and some other friends that are visiting from Oregon! The float was so much fun! It was almost 3 hours long! Every now and then we would get off of our rafts to go swimming in the freezing cold river! That day is definitely a memory I will not forget.

WHAT GOD HAS TAUGHT ME: This week God has taught me to be the person He made me to be. Sometimes I would catch myself not being that person. As Christians we are supposed to be the fruit of the spirit, and to do what God would do. He made you for a purpose, to be on this earth for a reason, to shine His light for others. Be the person God made YOU to be!

UPDATE ON OUR MINI FARM: Our chickens have been laying 3 eggs a day now! I don’t know what happened to our white chickens (that lay blue eggs) but we haven't been getting any blue eggs! As you could see in the picture below we only have brown! Oh well, at least we are getting some!

The garden is doing great! My mom just picked our first few squashes yesterday! Woohoo! Like last week, we have been getting a bunch of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplant, and now I could see some bell peppers growing! This year's garden has been awesome!

NEW: I have been practicing the song “Priceless” by For King And Country on my guitar this week! It has been sounding so good, and I can’t wait to share a recording of it with you soon! WHAT I WANT TO DO THIS NEXT WEEK: This next week I want to hangout more with our friends that are in town, since we don’t know the next time we are going to see them! I also want to do more chores (mow the lawn, clean the car etc.) to gain money!

I hope y'all have an amazing week, God bless and…

Love You!
