Halloween Hoots

Halloween is on monday.. A hay day for satan in my opinion, but that is jusy my opinion, everyone has their own :)
On halloween i will be going trick or eating :) meaning....? I will be going around just like trick or treaters, going up to peoples doors, and instead of asking for candy, ill be asking for canned foods for the needy :) Im doing it with some people from my church, and im so excited to do so, cause i know that these non perishable foods will make some people happy :) God is so good!

Deuteronomy 7:9

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.

A Day of Thanks

Today is Thanksgiving!! A day that we all have something to be thankful for. I have so much to be thankful for, probably more than my mind can handle. The first thing im thankful for is Jesus dieing on the cross for my sins to give me eternal life. Second, im thankful for my family, my mom and dad and sisters and brother and neice, third, im thankful for my manitoban family, the people i met at Circle Square Ranch, I am so thankful to God that i met them because my life is changed forever. Fourth, i am thankful for my hometown friends, for putting up with me and being there for me, Fifth, im thankful for my dog, i dont know what i would do without her, she is my everything, i love her to pieces, and always will, i know she can be a little rip every now and then, but at the end of the day, she is the cutest, most loving dog ever. Sixth, i am thankful for my distant family that live far away from us, and seventh, im thankful for the biggest and most best meal i look forward to every year, the savory turkey, the isnaely tastey stuffing, the green beans with almonds, the mashed potatoes, the gravy (ohhh baby), and even though i dont favour these next things.. im still thankful for them.. sweet potatoes, squash and broccoli salad. I am so thankful that my mom and dad cook this for our family every year, i am so privilaged, some people dont even know what thanksgiving is, the meal, the family, the friends. I just wanna put a prayer out there for all those people that dont have family, or the meal, or the friends, i pray that they will find a good friend this thanksgiving day, and that they would have the best meal they have ever had, and that they will make a life long friend.

A Name Like No Other

as i mentioned before, i went to circle square ranch this past summer. in the second week of eLITe we got to shadow staff, i, praise Jesus, was put into the horse staff, and i thank God for doing so to this day because i had such a great experience. well, on the first day, i was assigned to get up early and help feed the horses with the other horse staff. in this hour or so before breakfast, we have to feed the horses and tack them for the day to come. well, i cant remember what horse i was tacking.. but, and the ranch, the saddles that they have are extremely heavy, its not like i wasnt able to handle it, cause i was, but that night it had rained alot, and the stalls on the side i was on were all muddy and slippery(something may have just popped into your mind as to what i may say next after saying that word). so, i had just brushed down this horse, and went to get the saddle, i had a pretty good grip on it.. but before this i had been going in and out of this stall with a huge, gigantor puddle right where you go in to tack the horse, but anyways, i grabbed the saddle and start to go into the stall, but with this huge saddle in my hands, i  couldnt see where i was putting my awesome horse rubber boots, and.. i put my boot right in the spot where there is no chance of you not falling... so i fell.. but surprisingly there was only mud on my jacket and hands, not on my pants at all.(PTL) so then everyone was like "oh my gosh are you okay hannah" and im like "yea im fine! haha" and i laughed it off, it was ebarassing, but more funny that embarassing. so after all the horses are tacked, we head back up to western town for staff prayer meeting(one of my most favourite parts of the day!), but all the eLITe's have to meet in the "eLITe room" before we go down, so i get there and everyones chillin and talkin waiting for chris to show up(who was often late) and michal sees me and hes like "what happened to you" and i was like "i fell in a puddle", before i go on i have to explain something, at the ranch there is a place called teepee village, which is for the kids under.. 8 or so? im not entirely sure, but! when you work in teepee village you need a teepee name, (i will now go on with the story), so! then it was either now or a little while later that hes like "i have a teepee name for you!" and im like "what is it..." "Puddle Diver!" and im like "really now.." but, once you come up with a teepee name it has to be cleared by Sherriff, obviously we didnt ask him cause i dont think its even a considerable name, but, it would be so sweet if i was allowed to have that name, but, i just thought id share this story because every time i think of it it makes me laugh, so thanks to michal, a good friend and family member from eLITe he gave me a name like no other, Puddle Diver.
