Peace

Hi everyone. We finally have found the time to make a post!
We have been keeping busy with eveyday things. School,chores,errands etc.
We attented our neighbor that passed aways funeral Friday.
We were reminded of the everlasting love and peace that God gives to us
who are his children in times such as these.
Please continue to pray for this family as they grieve for their son.

We only have a few more weeks of school left.
Our last day will be May 22nd.
Which also happens to be the day of my (Holly's) high school graduation.
So, we have been getting everything together for that.
It will be here before I know it! (0:

Hope you all have a blessed week!

Tragedy

Hi. We just wanted to make a quick post to ask you all to pray for a kind family in our neighborhood. We learned last night that their 18 year old son was tragically killed yesterday evening. Although we did not personally know him, we did see him some times when we walked around the neighborhood and he seemed like a nice guy. We, along with the rest of our neighbor's feel very saddened about the situation. When we look out our front windows and see this family's home it is hard for us to imagine what his parents and sister must be going through. Please keep the Jaramillo family in your prayers. Thank you all!

Super busy...

Hi! We hope you all had a nice weekend!
We had a very busy one, hince our lack
of blogging.Our Grandpa came down from Maryland to visit and
attend a wedding in the family. He left yesterday.
So, now it's back to normal. School,chores, etc.
We want to be able to post more frequently
but with the end of the school year very close,it's really hard to
get a whole lot done other than school.
Our last day is May 22nd.
Oh, so close! lol (:
It's exciting for me (Holly) but sad at the same time.
I will truly miss being with my family all day and the daily routine
that I have maintained these past few years of high school.
However, I am excitingly awaiting college- a new chapter in life! (0;
~Have a great week!~

There is a fountain.

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains; And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away. Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away; And there have I, though vile as he, washed all my sins away. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more. E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die. Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I’ll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave; When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave. Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, unworthy though I be, For me a blood bought free reward, a golden harp for me! ’Tis strung and tuned for endless years, and formed by power divine, To sound in God the Father’s ears no other name but Thine. ~William Cowper~

Behold Your King

Hello! We hope you all are having a great Easter weekend! We went to Bob Jones University Friday night for their 12th annual living gallery program (an extraordinary presentation that weaves together art, music, and drama. Striking re-creations of artistic masterpieces are brought to life by real people in unique “living pictures.)The title of the presentation was "Behold Your King". It was really nice. We had a great time. The recently renovated Rodeheaver Auditorium. Us, Mom and Travis ( a friend from BJ) Happy Easter!

Spring Cleaning

We have been doing a lot of our spring cleaning the past couple of days.
Yesterday we moved all of the beds and vacuumed underneath them and rearranged shoes etc.
Aside from that I got all of the floors mopped and everything wiped down.
Now, I have to go polish and vacuum everything.

We also got some painting done yesterday. The baseboards, scratches etc.

So, that's what we have been doing.

Have you all started your spring cleaning yet?

~Have a great day!~
