Random Writings of Cowgirl

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Good Afternoon people who read my blog. I must first make an apology for not keeping up with my blog. The fact is, I have had the time, but not the drive. I have also been struggling with some life decisions and stress. Last week was Independence day. I would like to wish you happy late celebrations of freedom. My family had a wonderful fourth of July. Instead of the typical somewhat awkward cookout that we usually have with our neighbors, we had a party in the evening with some church friends and one of dad's work friends. (and his family.) My friend Micah and his brother Caleb hung out with me. The moms and my sister and Micah's sister all played Phase Ten and the men hung out together and discussed man stuff. The little kids got into whatever sort of mischief they could imagine. At one point Micah, Caleb and I brilliantly decided to play a game of 20 card Uno. (It was my idea.) 20 card Uno is probably my favorite game. My cousin and I have a tradition of playing two player t...

Hey hey hey, who wants to play??? Just kidding.  I would like to open this post by saying that my family didn't like Eubey's name for some reason and dad has since renamed her Lucile. Lucile now has a real tank. She lives below Alfreda my bearded dragon. {Did you come up with that name too?} Why yes I did, thank you for noticing. Her name used to be Apples because she likes apples, but I thought that was too cliche so I named her after cheese. You see, I really like the word Alfredo for some reason, but couldn't name her that because it was too masculine. So Alfreda is her name. Now that my computer has loaded, I can show you all a photo of the new habitat.   Aren't they cute together? Yep. So I have been thinking lately, and it has been quite some time since we have sat down to discuss some poetry. I think that we should do that today. I am not sure if I have discussed this one with you guys yet, but it is one of my favorites. So we are going to pick it apa...

Greetings fellow residents of Earth. I recently had a brilliant idea. I want your opinions on this idea. Okay? Great. Here goes. My idea was that I should have a vlog that I post every so often, but it would not be like my blog. Instead, it would be a Bible lesson that I would work hard to put together just for you guys. Please tell me your thoughts on this in the comments. That would be pretty great. Alrighty. Now. Let's talk. My friends invited me to Six Flags with them yesterday.We had an amazing time going on all sorts of roller coasting rides. Turns out that two of our small group is terrified of heights. Me not included it would seem. I went on every ride approached by our party without fear. (Actually I was a little bit nervous for the Batman because my friend made it sound really crazy.) Before going to Six Flags, my mom and I had gone for a swimming/long walk workout at 6:45 AM and then had taken the kids to speech therapy (For my brother) and had also gone to the Chirop...

Hello my lovelies. Yesterday was a long day. It ultimately started on the wrong foot because I slept in until a whopping 9:30 AM while my sister #2 miraculously woke up an hour before me. (Typically I am awake and holding the worm before the early bird opens her sleepy eyes and #2 sleeps until high noon.) I was really embarrassed at my late slumber. It was alright though. The day went on and I attempted to recover. The entire day was spent trying to clean the house and with the musical sound of my younger siblings screaming, crying, fighting and all things loud. Finally mom was fed up and losing it, and I too was losing my cool. So I left. Ha! Got you! I am no abandoner. I went to church for VBS. (I totally left. I was using VBS as an excuse to escape and the fact that my car needed gas as a reason not to ride with my family.) I needed a little bit of space to be honest. A little bit of peace. I got gas and then went to church. We set up for VBS and mentally prepared ourselves. I ate...

Hello my dears. So today is Wednesday. (In case you were unaware) I stayed up until around 11:30  last night and much to my surprise, slept until 9:11. (For those of you who are new to this blog, I don't think that I have slept that late since I was about nine.) VBS or Vacation Bible School is happening at my church this week. This year's theme is the very sporty Game On! There is sports gear everywhere. As always, the decorations look amazing. I am helping in two areas. I am a teacher's assistant in the 1st/2nd grade class and also (this one is my favorite) I am a dancer. Five of us teens go up on the stage every night and do the dance moves to the songs. {What songs, Cowgirl?} Lemme show you. Song Playlist Really fun songs. Part of being a dance leader this year meant that we had to wear a sports jersey. May I just point out that I am not in any sports? I haven't officially been in any sports since I was about ten. Naturally, I went to my friends for help. SURELY ...

Hello my dears. As it happens, I regret to inform you that I left out much of my week yesterday. Evidently I was distracted. I left out the moment when I was talking to my flight deputy CTO Arias and I somewhat randomly commented, "Yeah you are right. Maisonet's little brother is cuter." This was a reference to a comment she had said the day before. Let's be real here, neither of them are cute in my opinion, however, if one was better than the other, baby Maisonet has a better jaw line. This comment was of no importance whatsoever until Brian responded in surprise. "What? {Cowgirl} interested in guys???" Most of my readers know me, and may possibly know that I have been ready to get married since preschool, so you can understand why I found this exclamation pretty entertaining. Needless to say, I was like Bro you're dumb. I also forgot to tell you guys about the night of the fire drill. It was after lights out, I had my hair down and wet from bathing ...
