I Am Back!

Hello! It has been a while since I have written a blog post and I have so much to share about this week! First, I have been in California for 2 weeks (That is why I haven’t posted in a while), and we just got back a week ago (Sunday). We came back to a beautiful surprise… Our trees being filled will beautiful green leaves! Now it seriously looks like Spring! We couldn’t believe how much could change in 2 weeks! We left with barely budding trees and came back with filled ones! The weather has been on and off here, like today it’s windy and cold, but a lot of the days were sunny and perfect weather! Oh, and I only have 15 more days of school! I have been counting down the days because I am SOOO excited!!!

WHAT I DID THIS WEEK:

On Tuesday, our close friend Estella invited me and Audrey and some other girl friends over to her house to make Vision Boards for the Summer! It was so much fun, and it reminded me of scrapbooking. I put all my summer goals on the cork board and some other fun decorations! Now I am motivated to get everything on my list done!

On Saturday, me and my siblings along with some neighbor friends played a game called Bigger or Better. We went around the neighborhood trading smaller things for bigger or better things, and it was so amazing to connect with our friends and grow closer with the neighborhood! Also, our city’s farmers market started up again! Sadly, it closed early today since of the wind:/.

Today me and my sister + brother have been really into tennis! Since we have a tennis court near us, we have been biking there often and playing for several hours! So much fun!

WHAT I BAKED:

This week I baked delicious Cookies & Cream CC Cookies. These were SOOO good, and I mean really good! We didn’t taste much of the Oreos, but the cookie itself was so delicious, and warming to the soul.

I also baked Cinnamon Crunch bread! The smell of cinnamon filled the whole house, and it reminded me of fall! So yummy…

NEW:

This week I made myself a May Workout Challenge Chart! I am very proud of myself because I have been very consistent and have been working out for 20-30 minutes a day! I get to make me, me and this is how I want to be! I have this little piece of encouragement on my vision board, and it says, “You don’t have to be extreme, just consistent.”

I also made a “My Makeup Routine” vlog! I am so surprised at how it turned out! Here are the steps typed out:

One: Wash face

Two: Put on perfecting concealer

Three: Put on mascara

Four: Put on blush

Five: Put on eye shadow (forgot to film this part hehe)

Six: Put on lip gloss

Seven: All Done!!!

WHAT GOD HAS TAUGHT ME:

This week I am practicing on doing everything for Jesus. I know it might be hard at times to do everything for Him and not for yourself or others, but that is honestly one of the best things you can do. For instance, when I do my chores instead of being annoyed, I can be helpful for Jesus!

Also not putting all the attention on yourself but on God is also a great thing. We learned about John the Baptist in church and how everyone was putting the attention on him but instead of John receiving all of it he gave it all to God because God made John how he was.

I hope you all have an awesome week! Let's work on what God has taught me above! God bless, and…

LOVE YOU!!!
