get prepared

alright everybody i was thinking the other day my moms friend gave me this idea a few months ago and i thought you guys would like to know. i'm getting to that age when you start your period and you know if your in a public place like the mall or at a friends house and you start your period then you can't do anything about it its embarrassing right? so i keep in my purse tampons pads baby wipes and a change of panties. so just something to think about doing.

acne attack

now i don't want to hear "oh my face is perfect i don't get zits" cause that's just bull. nobody is perfect so just get over yourself every girl gets acne. acne can appear for several reasons. during puberty your body makes more oil which combines with bacteria and dead skin cells to clog your pores. almost every girl or boy at school will have to battle skin blemishes at one time or another.

keep your face clean 

wash your face daily with mild soap or cleanser but don't over do it. harsh scrubbing can irritate already bothered skin.

check out the drug store

acne products can provide some relief for mild breakouts. I personally LOVE epiduo i call it the magic cream it works great.

self image

the world puts a high value on outward appearances. God is focused on the hearts of his people. the world has a lot of expectations on how we should dress, look, and act. most of the time these expectations don't line up with God's word. I want you guys to comment some negative words to describe some one who doesn't meet their physical expectations. then comment some positive words people use to describe some one who does meet their physical expectations. all of us are God's creation. he created us to be unique and in his image. as your body matures into adolescence you will see changes that affect how you look at yourself. but remember no matter what the world says God says your beautiful inside and out.

Be on the lookout

Many girls don't notice problems with their eyesight until they have to do a lot of reading or look at the board in school. Well you may need glasses if you have: 

• headaches while or after you've been reading
• trouble seeing objects at a distance or up close
• double vision not caused by crossing you eyes

your not alone

your vision may continue to change during the time your in grade school and level of when you get to your teens. if your the first one with glasses you may feel like the loneliest in the world. but peek around your class room in a couple of years you'll find you have lots of company.

the steps to being a godly wife

Hey guys I know this is kinda jumping ahead in womanhood, but its good to get it in your mind now. Now I was in church tonight and this is a good sermon but some of us don't like sitting through a sermon so I'm not going to make it a sermon. One of things about being a godly wife is: the ability to see your husbands need through his point of view. That means that your not always going to see life the same way but instead of trying to understand his needs your way try to understand them his way, an it's going to take some team work but your marriage will work better that way. Another thing is: accepting responsibility for making the quality of home life acceptable for your husband. Which means if your not doing a very good job on keeping your house acceptable for your husband your kids or you then you need to take full responsibility. Now your husband can't expect it to be perfect all the time and your going to have your bad times but that doesn't you can't try your best and work hard. Next: cleanliness is next to godliness. Now husbands and wives have different standards and your gonna want different things but if you don't keep a clean house your always going to be running around and then your going to be tired and your both going to be on each other like cats and dogs. It messes up the fellowship between you two. Next thing: see that food is prepared and served. Now this doesn't mean you have to be the one cooking you just have to make sure that it gets prepared and served. Alright ladies i know this is not exactly what you want to hear but management falls to the lady of the house. Next: manage time so everyone is on time. Alright so your the base of time here if you don't make lunches on time then your kids or your husband will be late for school or work, and if there late everyone is rushing and yelling and you all just wanna kill each other and that is not a very stable home. work to make sure everything goes smoothly. lastly: appreciate but don't demand your husbands help. This means that like if your husband offers to help but don't demand that he does. It is your soul job that God has given you learn to love it. embrace Gods calling and love him enough to do it.

Dating

Alright I'm just gonna come flat out and say it DO NOT DATE. Dating can lead to really bad things so what I suggest is to court. Courting is when you never go out on a date alone when your go out on a date you go with friends, friends who will keep you in line. Because if you go on a date alone you could get into trouble because there is no one there to stop you and tell you no. Let me tell you something when you go out with a boy and you think you in love and you get comfortable that's when the boy will say "if you love me you'll have sex with me" and if you really think your in "love" you'll do it so you won't lose him. Now I'm noting saying all guys will do that but some guys will they'll take advantage of you. No mm no that is not going to happen and here's why it's not going to happen because if he really loves you he will not say that and if he does say that then you look him dead in the eye and say NO you will not take advantage of me not today be strong.

i don't know what to do?

hey you guys sorry i haven't blogged in a while i was at camp. I've been thinking what if your away at something like camp and they start talking about boys or "girl problems"and you want escape but you can't.
something similar happened to me at camp this week. well my solution is if you can leave the room but if you can't ask them politely to stop. if they don't stop ask a grown up around to tell them to stop. if there is no grown up around then cover your ears or do something else to distract yourself because first of all they don't need to be thinking about it second of all you don't need to be listening to that kind of stuff. the only place you need to hear this kind of stuff is if they are teaching you at church, from your mom or dad, or from purity conference or something like that. say no to listening to bad things.
