Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in GOD's sight.

1 Peter 3:3-4

Food!!!

I don't know about you but I love food {she writes as she puts jelly beans into her mouth}. What creature doesn't?! {moment of silence}. Yep, that's right, none! Everybody likes the taste of nummies and our bodies enjoy the nutrients! But guess what, not everybody body gets the need nutrients that your body needs everyday.





You see this fruit kabob item. My stepmom, dad and I made this a couple years ago for valentines day. It has strawberries, pineapple, and chocolates. This for me is just a fun little activity. You cut up the fruit, use cookie cutters to shape them (lips and a heart in this case) and throw it together, leaving the scraps to the trash. Fun! But unfortunately there are people out there who would LOVE our sweet leftovers and they would savior every bit because our scraps would probably be there only food for the day. How sad is that??






These are my weakness. When I see gummy worms I, :D!!! I think they are sugary goodness! And I just throw them into the Target cart like nobody's business! What if you and I were people with little money and didn't get to have our "weakness" on occasion. That would be horrifying!! Or tonight while I was babysitting, after I put the kids to bed I was watching some TV and eating some pretzels and Cheetos. Pure deliciousness!

I think, the next time you think "hey, I'll just throw this half of a sandwich and half a serving of chips", you should rethink!

Sunday and Intro

Sunday.

What did I do today? Went to church... <3
Went home to my dads
Hung out
Came over to my moms
Edited a little bit
Cleaned my room a tiny bit
Blogged

Productive hu?!













My weekend has been just pretty much laid back... Sorry I haven't blogged but I haven't really been on the Internet. This week, my posts are going to be subjected around thankfulness.

Thankful- Feeling or expressing gratitude; appreciate {dictionary.com}

That's what this week is going to be about, realizing how much we have and then showing how thankful we are for that. Tune back everyday because it's going to be good!!!

One of the pastors at my church once said, and I will never forget this, why would Jesus die on the cross for us and go threw all that pain, if there was going to be no outcome. He will come back one day but until then we need to show the world what a treat life is. Life isn't just some fling, it's the real deal and we need to show gratitude towards Jesus for giving it to us... Because he surely didn't have to! God could have been like "pssshh, I don't need to give up my one and only precious son for all of these fools!" but he did! He sent his one child down to die for us, and I think that we can show him a little thankfulness for that. Don't you think?

All you need to do is say "thank you", for this:




From the movie The Passion of the Christ

I hope that you will read each and every post this week and really take it into consideration.

The GBU

The good: The good would probably be seeing some of my family this weekend and being able to sleep in my bed tonight and hopefully not be crabby tomorrow because I've have NO sleep!!

The bad: my foot. :( She really isn't doin good! It been draining a lot and bleeding quiet a bit! I am on meds that I take one (HUGE) pill every 12 hours. One of the doctors called today and said I need to come in asap because it is for sure infected and the pills I'm taking right now might not be strong enough. :(

The ugly- um... My foot?? Haha it looks so disgusting right now..! It's super fat still and I just want to barf whenever I see it!! Moment of silence




Isn't it disgusting beautiful!!! Don't you just want to barf snuggle with it?? Uh...:) Like my toe nail color?? It matches the color of throw up! Hahaha totally kidding!(: well, not really, it does!! Ha Wanna see more pictures of it? That's to bad because I haven't really been takin pictures of it because it increases the chances of my food not saying down.. Sorry! Maybe I'll try to take more pictures and post them all day long!! Not. Please pray that it gets better!! I am on my second can thing of pain pills (like advil junk) and am kinda feeling like a druggy taking so many things!!

Anyway, how was your weekend??

Suggestions??

This friday I will be leaving so I can go to Shelia's cousins wedding!! I am so excited!! I LOVE weddings!!! The photography, family, and just atmosphere over all rock! So just to be aware, I probably won't be posting fri-sun. I will try my absolute hardest to schedule some posts so you guys don't leave me but I wouldn't hold your breath...!!

So, as the title states, I need some suggestions. For music!! I'm going to try to get school done at a pretty decent time tomorrow then run over to target or something so I can get an iTunes gift-card before Shelia comes to pick me up! Guys, I am desperately in need of music! I think the last time I bought a song, was like 5,000 years ago!! Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little tiny bit but really, I need new stuff! It's a 7 hour drive so the more new music, the better!! List any song you can think of and enjoy!!

Thank you in advance!

The Big 10: week 3

Hey guys!! Hows life? So I almost forgot about my big 10 this week!! AHHH! That would have been a disaster!! Can you believe it's tuesday? I know, only Tuesday but that means tomorrow is Wednesday (youth group!!!) and this weekend I'm going to a wedding!! Woot woot!!

1. I hate when my legs are hairy!! I know it's more of one of those personal ones but seriously, I get so worried someone will see the 16th of a inch hair on my leg :p

2. I LOVE going to church!! Seriously!! <3 <3

3. I think friends are the one things that everybody needs in life and if you need a friend, hi I'm Sydney!!(:

4. My geography teacher is super happy and giggly and it is already getting really old...

5. School has been rockin this year!!

6. (a carry on of 5) last year in public I had school 8-3 and had homework like the rest of the night. Now at my school I start around 8 and finish at 2 or 3 and have NO homework!

7. If I follow your blog, I read every single post you write!! If I don't follow your blog then comment it down and I will be the next follower!!

8. I hate when people say 'yall'. Im not sure why but especially when people write y'all in a post, I get less interested in what their saying...:/ **awkward**

9. I pray before I go to bed every night and pray for someone that I know that I think might be struggling or just for safety.

10. I have picture frames all over in both my rooms!! I think they are wonderful and great reminders of your wonderful friends and family!

Tell me a fact about yourself!!!(:

What would have been a HUGE change!!

For those of you who actually know me personally, you know that I have recently gotten my birthmark removed from my left foot. Neither of my parents wanted me to but I absolutely HATED it with a passion!! Well, like all moles after being removed they send them to a clinic to determine if 1, the doctor got it all and 2, if it is/was cancerous. I had it removed Wednesday, September 12th. I had a checkup on Friday the 23rd but they didn't have the results from Mayo Clinic yet. We got the call today saying yes she did get it all but yes it was going to be cancer in the future if I would not have gotten it removed! I have a follow up once again on Wednesday October 5th just because at my last appointment, the stitches weren't healing great. I believe this was God working in me absolutely!! This is just another example on how He works wonders!! When the person called today, they think that the doctor who did the procedure will recommend that I see a dermatologist every 6 months. I am not surprised at all because both my parents have to see dermatologist and have gotten moles removed! I honestly just thought they would pull the skin out and I'd be done but if I had not stood up for myself and gotten it removed, I would eventually have gotten cancer.

Isn't that amazing?? Not the cancer part but that just a simple little dot the size of maybe a penny, could have changed my life forever!!!

What kind of miracles has God worked in your life?
