Excitement and Disaster

I have good news for me and bad news for me. And I don't want to tell them to me. So, I will tell them to you.

Excitement: I got to see my long lost friend! She is officially my best friend. Went to lunch with her after we saw a great play: Frog and Toad. Awesome!

Disaster: That night a very, VERY terrible storm came though Alabama and Georgia. Nobody in my family was hurt, but a homeschool family named the Green's brother died. Please, pray for them.

Also, my older sister had to have surgery. She had to have something removed. She was really scared. Please pray for her, too.

Last, we had a garage sale today. We tagged along on some other family's garage sale in our neighborhood. It was me and K-Doodle running it by ourselves. It went horrible. We made fifteen dollars though. That will go towards my room or I-Touch! But, still got A LOT of stuff.

So, news of the week is done!

Lent Is Ringing!

This is a little late, but Lent started last Wednesday. We did not go to Ash Wednesday mass because mom was sick. That day I had CCD (religion class). And boy what a day that was. We have CCD at 5:30 PM. And since the mass was at 6:30 PM they decided that they would end CCD early.

Mom teaches and she was sick. So my teacher did my class and mom's class. And there was a lot of kids. We also did the second grade Communion packet. I don't know why!

But that's not all. Mom was going to pick us up and I was supposed to go get K-Doodle in her class. But, when I got there they were not there. So I walked out and I told my teacher. Then a lady told me where they were, in the church. Their teacher had taken them there. So I search and I can't find them. Then I have to stay with all the kids who's moms did not know class was over early. And then K-doodle walked out with her best friends Dad! And mom picked us up. She thought that it would end early.

Well, that's the story. Now I will tell you what I am doing for Lent.

I chose to have time with God every day. Here is what I do.

1. I set up my prayer table. I just use a stool and put a cloth and a candle (the battery one).

2. I read my Bible

3. I read my Pony Tale Girls book. This is a book about girls who have a club and there is devotions a Bible story and lots of fun stuff for you to do. I recommend it to other girls.

4. I read other books about the Sacraments and other Catholic and Christian stuff. I also read about two Saints.

5. I pray my Rosary. This is my favorite part. I feel so close to Mary this way.

6. Finally, I pray my prayer cards and then I pray for our missionarie friends and other people and needs in the world.

I thought this would be the best thing for Lent. I am loving this time with God every day. I love to pray the Rosary. I feel like Jesus is sitting next to me, praying with me. It only takes about two hours. But, I am not worried about time.
