Be Creative When Bored!

Because there is such a word as bored, we have to learn how to keep ourselves from not falling into that trap! Try doing things you're good at......soccer, music, art, fitness, etc. My sister Kelly and I made a music video because we were falling in the, "I don't know what to do" kind of attitude. Although its not that choreographed, I thought I should share it with you to inspire you to enjoy YOUR talent! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy_NwuV7uJM

A Good Start To Your Day!

Ok, so have you ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed? I have! But thankfully, I thought of some solutions to this worldwide tragedy... Here's a situation that you could maybe relate to: 6:09 : "Time to wake up!" Your mom protests as you sit up in you bed with your bunny pajamas and slippers. 6:10 : You act like a zombie as you climb down your bunk bed ladder and walk to your closet. As you look through your closet you just so happen to 'notice' you have 'no' clothes. But the bus is almost here!!!! 6:20 : You're still looking in your closet. Nothing looks good! You either wore that yesterday, the day before, or its just in your laundry basket. But wait. There's hope. People in Haiti don't even have  two outfits. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! You just want to crawl back in bed but you can't! Your feet are glued to the floor. Your eyes are glued inside your warm, comfortable, eye lids. Your head is spinning in slow motions over, a...

Church...To Do or Not to Do!?

Do you think church or God is boring?! NO WAY! God is exciting and so is being a part of His church!  This is a highlight video I made on my own over a few weeks! I am learning how to use my interest and ability to be a part of what God is doing!  The video is from my grandparent's church called Hope Church in Springfield, MO. I attended there on Wednesday nights and these are clips from some of our events. You will even see Kelly Grace and Bria singing!  Going to church isn't just an activity like a social event or sport. It's a place we grow in wisdom. It's life-giving and God wants us to love being with other kids that love Him or helping kids that don't know Him yet.  We can learn more about God and have a blast too! My dad even loves encouraging people in a message about how the Church is a place of hope and healing. And it really is!  So the next time you are thinking you don't want to go to church or maybe you are an adult that doesn't w...

Start with What You Have!

Do you have a dream? Is it hard to imagine it becoming a reality? Don't worry!  Just start with what you have in front of you! Just take it one step at a time and do what you can. This is my epic silly video but really its symbolic of my desire to make films! I can't make a full movie today but I can do a music video to brighten your day!  So, just do what you can with what you have and things will grow in time. Enjoy!

Ever Been Embarrassed?!

http://youtu.be/Sx4V4cCu-vo There is never a dull moment in our house!!! You girls have to see this of my sister Allison who was dancing then completely fell and we all laughed!!! Sometimes things happen in life that could be embarrassing but if you do like Allison and laugh it off instead of throwing a fit it becomes fun for everyone! Try to remember that next time you have an incident happen! 

Perspective

"Why did Christmas go by so fast this year?" I say to myself. To my surprise just like last year and the year before 2013x it has been one day of fun. One day of food family and presents.  It's not my presents are not any bigger but maybe it could be my perspective. Sometimes it seems I have things in perspective.    Sometimes you might rush by something and want to try it again and see it differently. Honestly and truly most things in life you can't go back and try it or do it again. So how can you make up for a mistake or the big picture, you can either learn from it and try it again, or you can moan and groan on the floor and talk to your pet. My point being there is something bigger than losing the childhood feeling at Christmas or your event happening differently than you thought. This is going to be on Judgment day when you need to be ready for being judged. Your perspective on Christianity and Christ will come to a test- and your perspective of the Chru...

Snowed Inn

You never know when a tragic event such as snowed in at home with a fire and Christmas movies will come. Actually in the moment I am living it up with a foot of snow in my backyard. Eating pumpkin bread or doing an art project can be refreshing after a busy week of busy days which have been leading up to busy hours then busy minutes and seconds:-) You might be snowed in your 'inn' as well and looking for something to do! Here are some ideas to help you be productive wherever you are in the world! 1. Make an exercise sheet and work out using soup cans for weights, or jumping on your bed! 2. Write a story about The Girl Who Got Snowed In. 3. Play Girl Lost In Snow outside using your dirty coat pretending you're poor with no home. 4. Write a letter to one of your close friends explaining how you feel a close connection with the snow. 5. Dress up your dolls or pets and play a game. 6. Keep commenting on trendsettergirls and Candice will write back-I am Candice:-0 7....

Laughter is Healthy!

  http://youtu.be/CSLATij4b3s Here is a HILARIOUS clip from me (Candice) singing  about macaroni when I was 7! I think the only thing we can learn from this video is to take time today to do something funny! Studies show that laughing 15 minutes a day helps a person with stress relief and can boost immunity among other things. See below some research I found online from WebMD: Laughter's Effects on the Body In the last few decades, researchers have studied laughter's effects on the body and turned up some potentially interesting information on how it affects us: Blood flow . Researchers at the University of Maryland studied the effects on blood vessels when people were shown either comedies or dramas. After the screening, the blood vessels of the group who watched the comedy behaved normally -- expanding and contracting easily. But the blood vessels in people who watched the drama tended to tense up, restricting blood flow. Immune response . Increased stress is associa...

Sounds of Life!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO88hj_-rew Hey friends! I don't know about you but my house (or my grandparents house in this video!) can have some funny sounds! I was just sitting on the couch watching and listening to all the things around me. It's kinda funny! And even though I make it sound like I don't like it, truth is, I love my family and all the activity. Just think, I could be sitting here alone. So, take a moment today and appreciate the world around you at home with your family...even if its unique!

Every Day is An Adventure!

Click link below to see video Have you ever had a normal day turn into an exciting day?! We sure have! In fact, at our house there seems to always be something happening out of the ordinary! When we had something burning upstairs in our house we had to call 911! I made a video out of the drama of it all! Found out that our computer had burned up but thankfully that is all! It sure made us alert that day! I hope that your family has something exciting but NOT an emergency! Every day in life is an adventure! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usd6O6gATiw

Get Up and Go!

Hi Friends! Wow! September is finally kicking in! Have you had a chance to invite someone to church? I have had a busy weekend but hopefully had a chance to show God's love to someone! I have also had a chance to be in a wedding and it was loads of fun! It is a great chance to watch people commit to be together for better for worse. I would like to encourage all of you to read da Word every chance you get. Feel free to comment on your life or questions you might have.   P.S. That is Kelcey and I at the wedding dinner.

A FUN TRADITION

Ok, this sounds a little weird, but I started my own tradition to start listening to Christmas music all the way through September and January! Actually, it's kind of fun! I listen to Christmas jazz when I go to sleep! So I encourage you, if you are looking for something or a type of music to listen to, try Christmas jazz! (if you do not have any cd's try Pandora)

Mundane to Fundane!

 My mom had to run some errands so we decided to turn it into some fun! Meghan was able to join us and we just added music and video! When you have to do something ordinary, think of something to make it extraordinary! http://youtu.be/iaSSffwydrE
