Meet... Mickie and Minnie

Well, it has been a month and a few weeks since Skittles died and Mama had told me that whenever I was ready for another one she would buy me one. A couple of weeks ago we went down and I picked one out, I named her Missie. And then as a surprise Aunt Dee Dee, Uncle Mike, Tarryn, and Lynna Baker (my uncle, aunts and cousins) bought me another one. I named her Minnie.

After about a week of having Missie, she got sick and after a couple of days she died:( Mama brought me in and we where able to trade her in for another one. Again the same thing happened. That one also got sick and died. To my surprise the Bakers bought me another one! This time we named her Mickie instead of Missie. These two are the funnest little rats ever (besides skittles)! I love these two SO SO SO much!!! Thank you Bakers for buying them for me!!!
So with out further ado I introduce.... Mickie and Minnie, and yes Mickie is a girl ;D

Random: Pretty Pictures

I got a hold of the camera this morning and took some pictures. Afterwords, when I was looking at the pictures I thought they were really pretty. Yeah, I know really random, but they are pretty pictures!

I thought this was a pretty picture with my bible and the light.


This is my absolute favorite picture out of all of them! The flower on it.

I like this one too.

SPEAKING LOUDER THAN BEFORE


Hear now this declaration
From out across the nations
We need to wake up and understand

Many hurting hearts are crying
But our voices seem to be dying
Can you see the battle raging on?

We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have a love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

Take every chance that you can
Move together taking a stand
Never losing heart, we'll speak as one

We need to be the image of Christ
Show love and serve at all times
We can make a difference in these lands

We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

Everything's so surreal
But this urgency I feel
We should be reaching out to all these desperate pleas

Oh, the need is real can't you feel
This call to revolution
My beating heart is breaking for them
That's why I'm speaking now
That's why I'm speaking now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have a love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are speaking louder than before
We are speaking louder than before
Oh, yeah
