'Tween You And Me

SORRY!

Sorry, Mini-Women!

My computer froze and I think it's about to do it again so I'll make this quick!

Nikita was our drink winner . . . and you truly are ALL winners.

I'll say more about that and the prizes on MOnday's posts!

 

I love you ALLLLL!

FIFTH -- AND FINAL -- CELEBRATION (AT LEAST FOR NOW!)

 

You need to celebrate because, my mini-women, each one of you is ENOUGH!

 

It doesn't matter how much stuff you have or how important other people think you are. You are enough for God, who, really, seriously, is the One who truly matters. And you're going to get better and better and better if you keep following Jesus.

And that's the truth.

 

FINAL WINNERS!

Just so ya know,

Miss Crystal is picking the drink winner and I'll announce that right at 6:00 p.m.

AND EMMA! Yes I did get your email and I thought I answered it but, yikes, maybe not. I think I owe you a whole BOX of books!

And NIKITA, I don't think I got your picture. But you are winner in this round!

Okay -- on to the last celebrations.

We have SIX minutes!

FIFTH -- AND FINAL -- CONTEST!!!!!

What are some stories where Jesus talks about

HAVING STUFF

or

BEING IMPORTANT TO GOD?

No need for chapter and verse . . . just

"When he talks about the________"

There are lots of these so there can be lots of winners!

READY?

GO!!

We're on the homeward stretch!

NICOLE'S drink is REALLY making me thirsty!

NOT ENOUGH?

 

 

Not smart enough.

Not talented enough.

Not cute enough.

When do you feel like you're "not ENOUGH?"

Let's come up with some not-enoughs that, really, when you think about it, are pretty funny.

For example:

"I'm not blonde enough."

"I don't have enough hair ties to go with all my outfits."

READY?

GO!!!

FOURTH CELEBRATION!!!!

 

 

Great news, Mini-Women! 

Nobody (and that means NOBODY) can take away your God-given power to be who you really are. 

AND (more great news) you don't have to fix everybody.

That doesn't mean you just watch people mess up and go, "Oh, well, too bad for them." It's a good thing to say to your friends, "Um, enough with the talking about people behind their backs."

But if somebody is bullying you, you're not responsible for changing her. Loving her in your heart, yes. Praying for her, definitely. But you probably aren't going to "fix" her. If she hears you say enough times: "Seriously, you're better than this. See ya later," she might just change, but if she doesn't, God will handle it.

Does that makes sense?

Let's hear it! 

FOURTH ROUND OF WINNERS

As BG says, you are all winners, sojust keep posting those entries.

This time we have . . .

NICOLE

(don't worry about tomorrow)

NIKITA

GRACE HEATHER

JOY

MAY

EMMA

And I gotta tell ya, I laughed out loud when somebody wrote, 

"When some guy lost his donkeys . . ."!

And I too am afraid of the slushie machine.

I'm right there with ya

I mean, really, what's with the gossiping, right?

And the jealousy?

And, as JOy points out, the hurting ourselves?

You know when I want to shout, "What is wrong with you?" When people are being rude to their own kids in the store. They talk nicer to perfect strangers than they do to their own children. Sometimes I just have to go to another aisle.

Okay, how ya doing with those contest entries?

FOURTH CONTEST (NOT COUNTING THE DRINK ONE, OF COURSE)

Welcome Emma's kitty, who is entering this next contest with us!

When are some of the times when Jesus says not to worry about what everybody else is doing?

No need for chapter and verse (just "That one time where he says ______")

And there is definitely more than one of those!!!

READY?

GO!!
