Bellatrix the Pig Witch.


I posted on here before that we got 3 pigs for Valentines Day named Ginny, Dobby, and Bellatrix. (Harry Potter characters) Well, we definitely picked the right name for Bellatrix because she is one EVIL pig.

She doesn't look evil like the real Bellartix does, but she is! She never lets Dobby and Ginny eat so we have to keep her away from the food bowl with a poker when they eat and she bit my mom! Yea, she wasn't to happy about that. So, we are thinking about getting rid of her, but my mom doesn't want to because then we will have to eat Dobby and we will only have one pig left :( So, we don't know yet but the point is.... she's a WITCH!

Literacy Day.


On Friday I volunteered at the school my Nana works at, which is something I get to do often because I'm homeschooled. :) She works in the Pre-K class and last week was literacy week in honor of Dr. Seuss day on Friday. The entire week they learned about Dr. Seuss and read some of his books. One day they even had green eggs and ham! Anyway, on Friday they had a special visitor.... The Cat in the Hat! ;) The Cat in the Hat came and read them a book and gave them some special stuff for their classroom.... a Cat in the Hat stuffed animal and a Dr. Seuss book SIGNED by the Cat in the Hat!

Impact@TheSummit.



Don't put all your eggs in one basket. That's all I have to say...

This is a awesome message, especially for teens, about not spending to much time obsessing over dating and relationships! 
A great message. :)

Revolution: Impact @ The Summit.


Are you one of the people that always wants the next thing in your life? You can't wait to go to high school? You can't wait to get to college? Next. Next. Next. 

If you are, then this video is for you. This is the service from my Youth Group last night at the Summit Church. It was a great message about trying to live in the now. Try and figure about what you need to do now. What does God want you to do now? Why are you where you are now? Figure out what your now is, what you can do for the lord now. 

Imagine how revolutionary it would be if everyone started living in the now and stopped wishing for the next. So many amazing things would happen. Don't hold back and wish for the next, find out what God wants you to do in your life now. Be the start of a revolution.

My Short Story.


A day in the Life of Damien DonkeyKong the Glowing Vampire

The only time that Damien DonkeyKong, yes DonkeyKong, could go anywhere was on days that it was raining or gloomy. Otherwise, he had to go out at night and there wasn't much open in the middle of the night. Not being able to go out in the day, unless it was rainy, was one of the many parts of being a vampire that he didn't like. Although one thing that he did like was how it made him look. His skin was much lighter than before, which made his hair look darker and his eyes more blue. He guessed that technically he could go out in the day, but most people would probably get a little freaked out when he started glowing like a lightsaber from Star Wars. Luckily he lived in London and it was pretty much raining all the time.

He had a lot today do today so he got out of bed, got dressed in his normal clothes, jeans, a black t-shirt, and boots, then he walked into the living room. Then he started to separate and the next thing he knew there were four more of him standing in the living room looking at him. Being able to to make four more of yourself and be in five places at one time was cool, he had to admit that, but it was very tiring and it was a pain to make sure people didn't notice it. Although most of the time he didn't have to worry about humans noticing it because they weren't very smart, at all. But he still had to be careful. He was still staring at the other four of himself. Although seeing so many of himself was one thing that he would never get used to. He doesn't know why it happens, but he hasn't met anyone else that can do it. Although, it's not really a very good conversation starter, “Excuse me sir can I ask you a question? Can you clone yourself like I can? If so how many of yourself can you make? I can make four!”

He didn't have to tell them what they had to do, because they already knew. They were him. They still had the same brain, thoughts, and memories. One of the downs of cloning himself was that when they separated he didn't know what the other hims were doing or thinking. He had to wait until they were all back and he became one person again to know how the whole day played out.

Today wasn't different than any other day, he'll stay home and do all the things that needed to be done around the house. One of him will go to work; he works in the basement of a warehouse, that manufactured toothpaste, by himself. All he did all day was unpack toothpaste, Nasty stuff, that toothpaste. He asked to work by himself in the basement that way no one would see him. Then if someone did see him when he was supposed to be working, then there wouldn't be a misunderstanding. One of him would see his friends of family. He spent more time with his friends, because they were vampires too, so there was nothing he had to hide. Although his family was a little harder to be around, if he spent too much time with him they would know that he was different. Plus they lived all the way in Wales, a four hour drive, but he hated not being able to see them when he wanted. He loved his mother, father, and his sister, but he was pretty sure that they thought he hated him, considering he left when he was sixteen, That's when he changed, and started “traveling”. That was his excuse, telling them that he was going all around the world. He even told him that he went to 42 Wallaby Way Sydney and they believed him, but in reality he did the same thing every day. One of him did the more enjoyable things at his second house like reading and playing the piano, and the last one of him fed. He didn't drink human blood, only animal blood. It was the only thing that could make him feel like less of a monster. He made sure to feed every day. He had never lost control around a human before and he didn't plan too.

He still remembers the change, before then he hated blood, the thought of it made him sick, but afterwards that's all he wanted. He was walking home in the middle of the night, although now he can't even remember where he had been coming from, He was just walking and then out of nowhere someone bit him and he was in agonizing pain. He realized what he was when he woke up, felt his fangs, and the horrible burning I his throat. He didn't go home after that. He bought an apartment in London, then called his family and told them that he was going to travel. He didn't even build up the courage to go see him until four years later.

Damien suddenly  realized that he was still standing in the living room and everyone else had left, probably about five minutes ago. He did this a lot, just stood or sat somewhere and thought about random things. You didn't really have to worry about wasting time when you lived forever. Realizing that he had nothing better to do, Damien walked into the Kitchen and started cleaning.

The Summit Church.


Week 1: "We Are Blessed" from The Summit Church on Vimeo.

This is a video from our church service from Sunday and the message of this video is about Gratitude. With thanksgiving right around the corner gratitude is a good thing to learn a little about. This video talks about what gratitude is and why we need it. The reason we need gratitude is because it completes the circle. Whats the circle? Well you'll have to watch the video to find out! :)

Impact.


Over/Under #1 (11/07/12) from Impact Student Ministry on Vimeo.


This a video of my youth group service last Wednesday. I go to The Summit Church and on Wednesdays we have a youth group service called Impact for grades 6-12. Last week the message was about being above the Influence of God. Being above the influence of God basically means that you are doing things that God wouldn't want you to do such as lying, cheating, being mean or rude to people, doing drugs, etc. This is a very good service and is a good message to teenagers and adults.

the choice is yours.

Characteristics that Make a Good Parent.


It takes a lot to be a parent. It takes a lot of time, sacrifice, and you need to have a lot of good characteristics. 

I think that the most important characteristic to have when you are a parent is to be very loving. You should always show your kids that you love them and that you would do anything for them. I think that kids learn from what they see, so if they grow up in a loving environment then they will grow up to be loving people. Also you should really make sure your kids know that you love them. You might know it, but if you never say "I love you" or if you don't give them hugs and those sorts of things, then they might know that you love them, but they won't really feel  loved. Also I think that kids just like to hear a parent say "I love you", just like a parent likes to hear their kid say "I love you".

I believe that parents should be VERY encouraging to their kids. It is really important to show your kids encouragement and show that you believe in them, even if what your kids want to be is the exact opposite of what you want them to be. You should always try and remember that what they want matters and try to be encouraging of it.  If kids don't think that people, especially people as important to them as their parents, believe in them then they will have trouble believing in themselves. Not only does encouragement help them believe in their self, but when people believe in you and you believe in yourself it makes want ever you are trying to do or what you are trying to reach so much easier! I believe that part of being encouraging is trust, not the kind of trust such as trusting your kids to go out with their friends and trust they won't do anything wrong, although that's important to do too. But you have to know how to trust that your kids know what they want.

A very important characteristic of being a parent is being a good listener. Kids will most likely be more open with their parents if they know that they will listen to them if they want to tell them something. Plus, when kids are more open with their parents that creates a better relationship. I also think that you should listen to your kids no matter what they want to talk about. Meaning if they are talking about something that happened at school or if they are talking about something important and heartfelt. 

I really do believe that it takes a lot to be a parent, but i think it would make it easier and better if you are loving, encouraging, trusting, and you are always a good listener. 
 

Trinity Academy

Trinity Academy is the name of my school, we got to name it ourselves since I am homeschooled. I like homeschooling a lot and I am excited this year because my cousins are being homeschooled too! Come back and see what I doing.(:




Taylor@Trinity Photography

I really like taking pictures and I have a really good opportunity to learn how to take good pictures and really learn how to use the camera because I am homeschooled. I hope you like them!(:

Trinity Farm

About two years ago my dad decided that he wanted to start a little farm. Our farm started out with three cows and has now progressed to 10 beef cows, a milk cow, and 15 chickens. The only animals out of all of these that are mine are two of the chickens, their names are Omelet and Eleanor. I will put some pictures of our animals and tell you if we get anymore! Make sure you stay updated.
