Niece :)

This is an older one... when I decided I'd make protraits, she was the first I'd drawn after a long while... :)

Best Sister in the World! (kind of)

Still life

SO now I've taken to drawing people. Faces mostly. and its good practice... I think. Since I have a lot of time now, I do that :D
This is... well my niece. she's the sweetest thing ever! :)

Day 08 - A picture of someone you used to be closer to

Lucy... when I was small... very small... she was my favorite sister :D she's awesome!

Oh dear, I forgot to put a title on this before posting...

"Glory to God in the higheesttt!!...." I have decided to post! -grriins- Not that anyone woul read this one post... but it kinda makes me feel better... I get al these visits from a ton of people and I have no idea where they come from... plus... the infamous posts are the best... I think... contrary to poular ideas and stuff.
As of now its like 7:20 ... can you believe it?! I woke up at 6!! gee... so much for having to make breakfast for the children before going to school :P... wait a minute... children....? school....? Ah well, sadly yes, the children are now going to school and for today I do have to go out.. at the same time... god this is insane.

 Bu hey! I never ever get to brag about my cooking here! and what a better way to start February on... CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES!?! :O ... or as I like ot call them, Dalmatian Pancakes. they were soo goood ... Now is your mouth watering yet?  theyre like soft and fluffy and so full of chocolate! YUUM!!
What to do:
Ok everyone knows hot to make pancakes... and I mean EVERYONE! ... but if you don't you can just follow a simple recipe in your local repice book :P and then you add chocolate chips and .... OH God ths is heaven! ... cook and enjoy :)

Aaaanyways... its gonna be a long day... (or something like that) and I must, must leave you... hoping to write again soon...
Cheers and Happy First of February!! (Oh YES, I said it before Windy!!) -grins-

I'm Here!!

Yeah I'm here! gah... I shouldn't but I am... My road trip was postponed till Monday cause some stuff cam up and we had to stay home for the weekend... this is another week postponed...
(Yay?)  I don't think so... altho I do get a fun Saturday with the scouts (I'll tell you later about that...) I have tests tomorrow... so I'm cramming my head with Physics! Physics for god's sake! this is pathetic... and literacy... Me, the one illiterate person the world decided to have... Studying literature... ironic (I'm sure I'll fail again... ) but hey maybe Mr. Newton decides to come pay me a visit and help me understand those (almost ridiculously simple) laws he somehow thought about inventing.... and who knows? maybe Mr. Moliere will think about joining him... :D (Yeah guys I DID read the books... and still am)
Oh anyways... I have some pictures i was intending to post a few weeks ago.. guess i only got around to it today :D
Enjoy.... ;)
The one girl in green (Oh wth? we're both in green... :D) Yeah the one that's not (obviously) me is my baby sis... how baby-is is she? cuters!

Right now there IS someone I'm craving for ;;)

Possible next profile pic... will have to think about it

What can I say? like the tan lines? :D

Omg...  wtf?

I Miss ... him.. :)

So whaddaya think? Happy I stayed home the weekend for these? :D

So anyways...

Its past midnight again... well yes, it has been some time since i posted any midnight madness for you guys... but now i got the chance...
Well first things first.... I've been trying to post since yesterday... but the pc keeps on overheating and going off and losing all my work... great so lets start from scratch.... 

Just look at him... isn't he the cutest ever?! :)

About William.... Most of you guys know about my nephew who's had an odd skin disease he was born with and has been in the hospital for a while. And I want to thank all of you who have been praying for his situation, it has meant a lot to me!
well for now he has been out of the hospital (for about 5 days) and TTL he has been recovering amazingly. He can now wear clothes... :) (which in my opinion is great progress... :D) and he's the cutest of babies! I just can't wait to meet him (not sure when i will be able to... but I know I will). I need you guys to keep praying for him and for the lord to completely heal him from this skin thing...

Something else... yesterday we watched this movie called "the lovely bones"... it was incredible... kinda strange but it has a meaning. i still dunno if i liked it or not... but i know it left an impression in me...
Its about this girl who gets kidnapped and raped and killed and how she watches how everything on earth happens while she's gone and she watches her killer get ready for killing again.... :O:O I liked the end... :D endings are always good... maybe cause in the whole movie they make you really hate the villain that you want him dead and in the end he dies and you're happy... :D heh... well i'm never going into a corn field or talk to creepy neighbors again! EVER!
So anyways... M' trip has been postponed a few days and hopefully we'll be able to get my pc fixed before we leave or something... I hope it all works out... I dunno about my school anymore cause all of my school is inside my laptop and well... yeah... I have tests the 15-16 but i dunno if i'll be here to take them...
About the weather... Its scorching HOT! seriously... as hot as you can't sleep at nighttime at all because of the heat!! I wake up and i take a cool shower and go back to bed... SWEATING!... this is crazy... just totally crazy... I was out today with my dad doing some OR and i looked at the thermometer... 103 Fahrenheit.... WTF?! later on it cooled down a bit.... it got clouded and I missed my sunset :( and it didn;t ever rain!! I hope to god it rains soon!! WE NEED RAIN!!! (Oh i know I'm going outside right now and do the 'rain dance' and dance till it pours over! wanna join?!)

Lucy!

You were always the 'big sis', the one i wanted to be like when i grew up, my role model :). gee... you taught me how to read, write, (and art... i think), and i wouldn't be surprised if you were the one who taught how to walk and talk.
You were there for me a lot of times and even tho you moved out and i grew up, and a lot changed in me, you have always been one of my fav. sisters (shh don't tell the rest :D).
I hope this year is the best yet! Love you and hope to see you soon.

Johnny

Re: Update on baby William

Guyss!! Just got news.... and updates on William.... Thank you sooo much to all of you out there praying for him! this means the world to me!!

So the main thing is this... he's getting better... but he still needs a LOT of prayers both him and his parents... 

Got a letter from Anim's dad (who is with her at this time)... here's an except of it...

Here's the main points summarized for prayer request that we see at this time: 

 > Deliverance from this serious, life threatening skin disease

 > For praise for the healing of wounds Jesus has performed already - an emaciated entire ear, raw & bloodied - now almost normal shape & the red soreness down to one tiny small spot; wonderful progress in the healing of a large, open, burn-type sore surrounding his belly button/umbillical cord tip - about 70% healed; his left leg, from the toe up to a little above his knee, raw to the point of almost being down to the muscle tissue - now healed aproximately 40- 50% 

 > Continued healing of present flesh wounds

 > Against scarring, and body parts - hands, arms, feet & legs, fingers & toes etc. - losing range of motion as new skin tissue forms. 

 > Protection from side effects of morphine & pain killers.

 > Against infection of any sort - our main enemy at this time - for miraculous protection for William's vulnerable open wounds.

 > Against the blisters reaching into William's eyes & effecting his vision & sight.

 > Against blistering in William's mouth & throat, that could potentially make feeding extremely difficult.

 > Against developing a diaper rash - which of course could be very complicated to deal with on top of everything else.

>For William's health overall, against any sickness whatsoever. Even a simple cold could disrupt his eating, which is so very vital to his skin's healing process right now.

 > For the Lord & His spirit helpers to minister to William's sweet spirit. 

 > For the staff & all of us to find the least painful & best way to dress & treat his wounds to aid in new skin tissue to grow (so far, the dressing changes have been pretty traumatic for the little fellow, and a real challenge to perfect – it was once daily, but now we're trying every other day) and also maintain his comfort through the correct delicate balance of pain medicine. (update today: his dressing change went very well, and we were finished in a record time of only ONE hour, as opposed to FOUR hours of painful crying & screaming! – TYJ! And it was done with very little discomfort to William, and best of all, once the old dressing was removed, it revealed his skin tissues healing wonderfully!! – PLEASE keep praying, Dear Family!!)

 > For continued good relations & unity with the staff. Also for witnessing opportunities with each of them.

 >  For our sample & witness.

 > For our physical & spiritual strength & stamina.

 > For Anim's continued faith, strength, peace & trust. She's been an incredible sample to all of calm strength, and winning the respect & admiration of many, and the comment of one of the main Doctors saying he "is very impressed by her".

 > For good, feeding Word time, & personal time with Jesus.

 > For Anim's continued recovery from her childbirth - (which she did WONDERFULLY at)

 > For the Lord's supply & finances for personal needs & housing during William's soon coming long-term care.

 > For Ezra, of Anim, William's daddy, to secure a visa to be able to come to the U.S. to join us & be with his family. 

 Just look at him... isn't he the most adorable thing ever?! totally worth praying for ;)

okei, there's a lot happening just so much i don't have time to post anything else... :O:O i knoww but yes and please please continue to keep him in your prayers!! I know the lord can do it, I just know it! okei i have to end the post here... I love you!

Desperate prayer Needed!

Desperate prayer needed!

From Windy's Blog...

20 03 2010

Estie’s  2 day old baby nephew (William) is in a very serious condition. He has what is called Epidermolysis bullosa or also commonly known as the Butterfly disease. This sickness causes his skin to open up in blisters similar to a 3rd degree burn whenever any sort of friction (including touch) is applied to his skin.
So please, keep him in your prayers as many children don’t survive this disease because the pain is very severe and they can’t handle it, and the ones that do… well, this sickness is for life, which means the sores are for life.
Please, please, please pray that the Lord will do a miracle and completely heal her from this disease even though there is not a cure and nothing doctors can do, we have the best doctor in the whole universe!
But also, if it’s His will for this little baby boy to go back to his arms, that it will be very easy for Anim and her husband.
So please, I ask you to join this prayer chain and re-post this in your own blog and send it to your email contacts. United prayer has amazing power, so let’s do all we can to see this miracle through!

Anim and Ez, we will be praying for you! Keep on going strong for the Lord, when we are weak, it is then that HE is strong and through him NOTHING is impossible! The Lord knows what’s best, and I know it will all work out in the end! We love you!

Thanks so much Windy! I really appreciate you posting this... Love you!!
