un samedi en france: glen keane speaks french!

If you don't know who Glen Keane is, or the name rings a bell but you're still not quite sure who he is, well I can tell you right now:)  Glen Keane has animated Disney movies for years!  Encluding Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and........................... Tangled!!!!  So, he's kinda what I like to look up the most on YouTube, for interviews, shots of him animating, etc.

I came up across this video of him, and I was listening to the interview and I'm like, "Wait!  This isn't English!?  This is french!!!"  I was (and am) so ecstatic about this video:D  Though.... I don't really know what they're are saying.... but it works for 'un samedi en france' (a saturday in france).... right?  Right.  Enjoy, friends (this video is almost a half an hour long so don't feel bad if you just watch a few minutes to get the feeling of it) :)  Au revoir!

one out of thousands of bible verses

You, then, why do you judge your brother?  Or why do you look down on your brother?  For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.  It is written:  "'As surely as I live,' says the Lord, "every knee will bow before me; every tongue will confess to God.'"
Romans 14:10-11

I found this verse the other day and this just really struck me.  When I get to Heaven, I will confess my sins again to God, right in front of Him!  I have already confessed my sins to Him in a prayer, but it's almost a frightening thing to confess before the creator of the world every single one of your sins. 

I am probably the number one sister in the world who has to find something in her brothers, so they can get in trouble.  I am!  My brothers and I have fought everyday of our lives, and after reading this verse, I honestly started crying.  I prayed and cried to God, "This is not what I want my life to be!  Show me how to love my brothers!". 

It's almost funny, I think when we ask something from God, He gives us little challenges.  When I woke up the next morning, I got the usual wake up call from my brothers, "You have to make your bed before you can come down stairs!  How much cereal did you actually put into that bowl?" etc, etc.  So my first challenge from God didn't go so well for me those next two days.

But today, I'm ready for challenges!  But I think I need a prayer to go along with this challenge.  I can't do this challenge all on my own, you know.  God does help us get through challenges He's given us:)

Dear God,
Thank you for speaking to me through this verse.  I pray that you will hold my hand through all the challenges you've given me, and that you will give me guidance throughout the rest of the day.  God I also pray for those who have read the verse above, that it will give them a different point of view on things.  If they are the type to fight with there siblings or fight with some mean kids at school, I pray that you will soften their hearts towards that someone they do not like.  Hold their hand as they go through those challenges you have given them.  Let this verse you have given us, shine in the back if our minds, so that when we are tempted to fight our enemies, we will go the high road.  I love Father!  Bless all of your children with guidance, Amen

I cleaned my room!

But it's only eight in the morning and I am way too lazy to do anything besides type this out:)  I spent all day yesterday cleaning all the nooks and crannies in my room (i didn't get under my bed or on top of my desk yet... I'll do that tomorrow), even my closet!!!!  I don't remember the last time I cleaned out my closet:O  All I know, is that it's been a loooong time.

So, for Father's Day, we got our dad a new vacuum (people who have pets, this is the sucker to get!).  Jump on over to my mom's blog, Two and a Half Dogs, who wrote an entire post on this 'speciel' guest:)  I used the vacuum, on our almost nine year old carpet, for my room.  Afterwards, my carpet felt so nice and cushy (which, is hard to find in an almost nine year old carpet).  Everyone in the house is actually fighting over who gets to vacuum which part of the house.... and this has been going on for three days (are carpets are gonna be cleaner then when we first got them!).

Oh, if you guys didn't realize, I have a new page up in the tab right above the post you're reading right now!  It's called, 'it's your life'.  And I'm working on a bunch more, but they're a little bit more , I don't know, I guess you'll just have to wait and see:)  So please, check out my new page!

Before I close up, and I know I'm going to sound rude and you're never gonna want to come back to my blog again, BUT....... there are only a few day until the contest, for Blogging for Books, ends!  And I really need your help!!!  Call up all of your friends, call your grandma, for those of you who have blogs maybe you could blog about it and link up with me, but tell anyone you know about this last minute vote.  I only need like ten or more before I can actually win the Flip HD camera!  If I win this camera, I'll be able to give you tours through my room, play guitar for you, do tutorials, and other amazing videos:D  BUT... I NEED YOUR HELP!!!  Click here for my post review on Blogging for Books.  And click here to get directions on how to vote for me:)

Thank you guys so so so much!!!  I hope this isn't your guy's last time here:)  I really do like friends and readers:D  Spread the word, please!
