Serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
Deutronomy 10:12

Movies I reccomend (rated PG and PG 13)

Movies I reccomend and their plot summarys

1. Breaking Dawn- PG 13

Good movie for all Twilight fans although there were some graphic scenes.

2. Lovely Bones-PG 13
Murdered by her next door neighbor Mr. Walker at the age of 12, Susie Salmon finds herself in a beautiful land, not quite Heaven, where she can observe and comment on the lives of her family and friends. Her body is never discovered and her parents suffer an unimaginable pain. The strain is far too much and her mother leaves. Her father continues to investigate and over many years maintains contact with the police officer in charge of the investigation. Susie also gets to watch Walker and learns of his long list of victims. She also sees him prepare for his next victim - her younger sister Lindsey

3. Footloose- (old or new)-PG 13
In this lively adolescent-oriented musical, a city kid attempts to adapt to life in an ultra-conservative backwater Midwestern town. Once there, he ends up leading the repressed teenagers into a rebellion against the town fathers, who have outlawed rock & roll and dancing.

4. My Sisters Keeper- PG or PG 13 (should be rated PG)
  In Los Angeles, the eleven year old Anna Fitzgerald seeks the successful lawyer Campbell Alexander trying to hire him to earn medical emancipation from her mother Sara that wants Anna to donate her kidney to her sister. She tells the lawyer the story of her family after the discovery that her older sister Kate has had leukemia; how she was conceived by in vitro fertilization to become a donor; and the medical procedures she has been submitted since she was five years old to donate to her sister. Campbell accepts to work pro bono and the obsessed Sara decides to go to court to force Anna to help her sister.

5.Last Song- PG
Ronnie's (Miley Cyrus) and her younger brother, Jonah's, parents are divorced. They live with their mother until this summer they are sent to live with their father (Greg Kinnear) in a small town on the beach. Ronnie resents her father and has no intention of being friendly or even talking to him for the summer. But after meeting a handsome guy and beginning to fall in love, Ronnie starts rediscovering her love for music, something she shares with her father. Reconnecting with music revives a kinship with her father which proves to be the most important relationship she may ever experience.

6. Just Go With It-PG 13
Danny (Adam Sandler) must engage Katherine (Jennifer Aniston), his faithful assistant, to pretend to be his soon to be ex-wife. Danny must pretend that he is married, because he lied to his dream girl, Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) the most gorgeous woman in the world. To keep the woman he loves, covering up one lie soon turns into many lies

7.Raise Your Voice-PG
 A teenage girl learns that reaching for your dreams isn't always easy in this heartfelt drama with music. Terri Fletcher (Hilary Duff) is a small-town girl with a great love of music and a fine singing voice. Already one of the lead vocalists in her church choir, Terri has also appeared at local nightspots with some help from her older brother. When he tragically dies in an auto accident, Terri becomes all the more determined to make the most of her talent, and she's elated when she's accepted as part of a summer study program at one of California's most prestigious music schools; however, Terri attends over the stern objections of her father

8.Justin Bieber Never Say Never- G
Great movie for JB fans like me :):)
(this movie was filmed when he was CUTE and had the awesome hair)

9. RV-PG
Not a new movie but hilarious and never gets old!
A white-collar workaholic deceptively persuades his family to forgo their much-anticipated Hawaiian vacation for a cross-country road trip in a fully loaded RV, during which they discover the true meaning of family bonding.

10. Grease- PG (rated before they had PG 13 so its probably like PG 13)
A classic!!!
 musical about teens in love in the 50's! It's California, 1959 and greaser Danny Zuko and Australian Sandy Olsson are in love. They spend time at the beach, but when they go back to school, what either of them don't know is that they both now attend Rydell High. Danny's the leader of the T-Birds, a group of black-jacket greasers while Sandy hangs with the Pink Ladies, a group of pink-wearing girls led by Rizzo. When they clash at Rydell's first pep rally, Danny isn't the same Danny at the beach. They try to be like each other so they can be together.

More ways to donate

Many people have asked me if you can donate toys and clothing as well as money to World Vision. The answer is sadly no.For World Vision I am only collecting money to buy these kids livestock and sponsor children. But, I found a place that takes canned food and toys right here in Corona. The Corona settlement house takes many donations so if you want to donate to them as well you can check out this website
 
 http://settlementhouse.net/?page_id=106.       

I am not collecting the food and toys for the settlement house,but if you want to you can take it there yourself and donate to them. Thanks girls and remember God loves you no matter what!

Proverbs 3:5-6

Say thank you to God

What is Thanksgiving for?  It is not for eating lots of food, it is about being thankful for GOD and his blessings. This Thanksgiving think about this verse 1Thessalonians 5:18  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.  Use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to say thank you to God together as a family. Thank him for friends,family,food on the table,and the sthings we take for granted such as clean water and a home to live in. Some people in this world don't have those basic things so take the opportunity to thank God that you do!

More verses about being thankful for God:

Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God


Colossians 4:2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

Colossians 3:15-17 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Fantastic Bible Verses

Hey everyone these are some of my all time favorit bible verses (theres 11) and my new bible verse of the week.... I hope you all think about these verses. I have a journal and everytime I find an amazing verse in my Bible or online (search Bible verses about...._______ and they have almost every topic) I write it in my journal and whenever I am feeling sad or whenever I have time I go back and look at those verses. They also have a program through Air 1 (90.1 Christian radio station) where you can go on their website and submit your email so every day they will send you a verse of the day. This is a great way to start your morning and they don't give away your email address and if you ever want to stop it is very easy to get off the list. The Air 1 verse of the day website is http://www.air1.com/Faith/VerseOfTheDay/!!! I love you all!:)

Ecclesiastes 12:13
Fear God and keep his commandments for this is the only purpose for mankind.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory to God

Psalm 119:10
With my whole heart I have sought you;Oh let me not wander from your commandments

Psalm 33:21
For our hearts shall rejoice him because we have trusted the Lord

Nehemiah 8:10

2 Corinthians 1:4
He comforts us every time we have trouble,so when others have trouble we can comfort them

New Verse of the Week:
Matthew 6:34
Therefore,do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough troubles of it's own

Remember this verse when you are stressing out about school or anything that you need to trust in the Lord and he makes all things possible so you do not need to worry about them. Of course this isn't an excuse for not studying just don't study to the point where you are anxious and stressing yourself out!

God loves you no matter what!!

Today I realized something. Am I really living my life for God fully,or am I living my life to be with God after I die? I realized I was being selfish. I was loving God but I wasn't loving my enemys. That has been a really hard thing for me to do,love my enemys. It is hard to love someone who doesn't love you back but guess what GOD LOVES US NO MATTER WHAT. No matter if we are angry at him,no matter if our faith in him isn't strong enough as it should be,no matter how much we sin,God still loves us.And you know how I know that? Because God sent his one and only son to die for us,helpless sinners. God,the perfect creater of the entire world,with the most power anyone can have chooses to love us,selfish sinners. Isn't that amazing! So next time somebody makes you mad remember to love them as God loves us unconditionally.It is not about your looks,your popularity,boys,or anything else but God. It doesn't matter what other people think of you,it is about what God thinks of you and how much God loves you no matter what you do. God will forgive you no matter what you have done. He forgives anyone with a true God loving attitude and who is willing to love him and love their enemys. Today I made a big change in my life to love even when someone doesn't love me back because that is what God did for me. I hope this impacted you all to to say a prayer and ask God to work in your hearts and love everyone because that is what I did today.
