WOW!

Hey everybody! SO, where Lila and I live the weather changes often and its weird. Anyway the other day after youth group it was storming pretty hard and i snagged this amazing picture! 

I couldn't believe what i saw! and the thunder was so loud!
Then, later today i was in the kitchen helping my mom make supper when my dad walked in and said " come now. this is the most amazing rainbow I've ever seen." And indeed it was! here are some pictures

It was a rainbow that you could see both sides and ( amazingly ) it was a double rainbow as well!
( these picture dont rally do it justice, the colors where so vibrant in really life )
I love weather and i hope you enjoyed these picture

"Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:16

This Weeks Bible Study

Hey everyone! This week I want to challenge you to spend 15 minutes everyday with God. Here is an easy way how!

Alright so when I have my time with God I always have my bible, journal, and a pencil with me. First I pick a section of the bible:
Monday - James 1-2
Tuesday - Hosea 3
Wednesday - Leviticus 15
Thursday - Revelation 1
Friday - Isaiah 5
Saturday - Mark 6
Sunday - Matthew 2

After I have read my section of the bible/while I am reading it I take note and write verses that stood out to me that I might want to journal about later. Lastly I write out a prayer I always try to start my prayer and end it with something positive like a thanks or a praise. Please comment what you learned I will!!!!!

Chalk board art!

Hey guys! I am so so so glad that it is finally weekend, school has been a little much lately, haha. Anyway my mom and I where looking at pinterest and got the idea to put chalk on our fireplace. You may be thinking, how would you do that? But our fireplace looks like this,

the black part is made of slate ( FUN FACT: slate was actually used as the original chalkboard! School children used to bring little pieces of slate to school to write on! ) And we did have fake bricks chalked on there but that had been on there for.. who knows how long! So we were thinking about adding a bible verse. We decided on Mark 12:30 which is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" Aint that cute. So it ended up looking like this..

We got a font from Dafont.com ( but this font isn't for commercial use )
Hope you have a great week!

My Bullet Journal!

Hey hey hey! Today I'm going to be showing the fun and easy way I like to organize my life! Its called bullet journaling, you guys can look it up on Pinterest ( speaking of which go follow us @2peaseinapodblog ) Its really simple and pretty much anyone can do it if you have a journal! ( CAUTION, BAD PHOTOGRAPHY AHEAD!!! )

This is my journal! ( isn't it darling? ) It was given to me by my best friend, Lila of coarse!

I started out by making a key of what little symbols i would be using.

Then i started to log all the things i did in that day ( like school, doctors appointments, etc. ), also I added little notes, pictures, and washi tape. BTW i started my journal at the beginning of the year and I suggest you do too. 

Now, this April i decided I needed to clean this up. So i started using pen exclusively, and just trying to make it overall neater.

This is my personal favorite page, I just made a little preview of the month for me and add a qut and some pictures. v

Then I journaled pretty much the same as before just with neater writing and minimalistic designs.

I really think you guys should try it!
have a good weekend!

Our New Chicks!

Hello everyone! This past Saturday I got chicks! Now just to be clear I don't live on a farm or anything, I live in a typical house. I do live down the street from some a horse place and about a mile away from a horse racing place. But I defiantly don't live on a farm. We are watching six little chicks for someone that goes to our church and we got to go pick them out and name them!

This is Tux (in the front) and Fitz (in the background)

This is Tess Jr. 

This is Berwin

This is Marshmallow

Testing

Hello everyone! This week at my school we are taking our SAT tests, it is really weird that our school does then in middle school and that we take different weird ones. These are the texts that are fill in the bubble:


These are also the tests were it is a number 2 pencil and for some reason I always used the black ones:


Now the memory that is going to stick with me forever is being able to suck on these little suckers while taking the test:


I will never be able to think about those mints without remember the testing. Today some kids brought in other mints that are like strawberry or something, all I have to say is that they are ruining perfectly good memory making. Anyways enjoy your week!
With Love, Lila
