The End of the World

        Does anybody else get that song (I don't know what it's called) in your mind when you read that title? You know, "It's the end of the world as we know it" from Chicken Little previews or something? Oh, never mind! I shouldn't have even typed that! LOL!
         Anyway...The main reason of this post. Right. Back to that. ;) So, I wanted to recommend this awesome series I've read and read again, and maybe you've heard of it? There is the adult series, and then the young adult series(Or the kids series, whichever name you would like to call it!). I haven't read the adult series, but I have read the kid's one. There are 40 books in the kid's series. I know, you're probably like, WHAT THE!!!???? But trust me, they are really thin books! It takes me about 30 minutes to read each one. :) Okay, I'll tell you what they are called. ;) The series is called The Left Behind >The Kids<. Here is a picture of the books:

And here is the very first book:

Wow, there is a lot of history behind these books! My church library was missing some of the books, so my friend Chickadee and I raised enough money ourselves to buy the books and donate them to our church. It was quite an adventure! Heehee! This series is all about the end of the world, and it is all based from the last book of the Bible, Revelation.
  Let me be honest with you. Revelation is a very confusing book, and for me, it's really hard to read. It talks all about the end of the world, and what John saw in his vision that God gave him. What I like best about this series, is that they actually explain it so I can get my mind wrapped around Revelation. And it tells it through four kids' point of views. Here is what the plot of the whole book is:
"In one shocking moment millions around the globe disappear. Those left behind face an uncertain future—especially four kids who now find themselves alone. As the kids search for help and for answers, they are told the truth behind the disappearances. But are they ready to believe it?"
(Taken from this address.)
There is also a movie based on the adult books. Well, actually 3 movies. The first movie is simply called Left Behind.
    So please look for this series in any library that is in your town. In mine, they have the books in my church library, the public library, and my school library! Oh yeah, the series is written by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye, and Chris Fabry.
Read this series!

Writing Contest is Over

    Hey girls. I only got one entry for my writing contest...from Meghan! Her button:
Grab My Button!


     Even though she didn't have any competition, I really liked her story:




Shelly, the Mermaid, picked up another clam and knocked kindly on it's shell. "Excuse me, may I see if you have a pearl inside?" She asked sweetly. The Clam opened and revealed a shiny, beautiful pearl. "This is going to make a lovely gift for Coral!" She exclaimed. Coral was having a surprise birthday tomorrow and Shelly was planning it all. Just then, her Shell Phone rung. "Hello?" Shelly asked. "Uhhh. Hi Shelly. We are uh having a problem with uhhh, the cake." Said Sealy. Sealy is the BEST baker in all of AquaTopia. Sealy was going to bake a HUGE cake for Coral's party. "What do you mean?" Asked Shelly. "Well, ya know how I trusted Clammie with ordering more sugar? Well, turns out she made a type-o and spelled Sugar wrong. She spelled it S-A-G-A-R-E. And well, long story short, we have 300 bags of Sagare." Sagare taste worst then shrimp but looks exactly like Sugar. "But you didn't put it in the cake, did you?" Shelly asked. "Umm, yea. I sorta did. But, I'm so sorry Shelly! I'll have to start over. But it might not make it in time." Great. This was exactly what Shelly needed. NOT. "Well, it's ok. Just try to work fast and get it done! I'll sea you later." Shelly hung up the phone and quickly swam to the Banquet Hall were the party was to be held. "Oh my gosh!" Shelly screamed when she swam in. The walls and ceiling were covered in Gerville Sea Weed. "Coral is allergic to Gerville!" Shelly cried. "So allergic, that we would have to scrub this room from top to bottom with snail slim to get all the Gerville off completely!" Shelly thought what to do. "Well, there isn't enough time to scrub it so I'll have to call to rent a new banquet hall!" Shelly called to try to get a room. "Beauty Banquet Halls, this is Oceana (Oh-Shee-Anna), how may I help you?" "Hello! So glad you picked up! See, I need a new hall to rent." Shelly said. "Ah yes, we still have some available for some days. When do you need it? 2 weeks?" Oceana asked. "Actually, tomorrow." Shelly said nervously. "What? You wont get any in all the ocean in such a short notice!!!" Shelly sighed deep. What was she going to do? She had NO location. "Unlike Beauty Banquet Halls! We have one available!" Shelly couldn't believe her ears! What??? "Oh my goodness! THANK YOU!" That was another problem that Shelly fixed! Now, she just needed to tell her volunteer Merpeeps that the location is moved. And she'll have to tell all the Mermaids and Mermen that she changed the location. Could she get this done? Shelly was stressing out and needed to take a break. She swam home to take a 15 minute power nap then get back to work. But she was exhausted and didn't wake up till the next day. 

 Shelly opened her eyes tiredly and realized that it was the day of the party! Shelly glanced at her Water Watch, the party starts in a half hour! Make the gift, decorate the NEW hall, check on the cake, tell all the guest that they changed the location! She couldn't be able to do this all on her own, she needed to call for back up. She called Ariel, Coralia and Beatrice to help her out. Together, they conquered all the problems and fixed and checked on everything! "Ok, is everything set up?" Shelly asked her team of friends as they placed the last water lily on one of the tables. "I think so!" Ariel said. "The guests are here!" Cried Coralie from the window where she was watching. "Hurry! Everyone hide! Your not a moment to soon! Because Coral is on her way right now!" Everyone shouted and quickly hid and turned off the star lights. Coral opened the door and the lights came on. "What?" Coral asked. "SURPRISE!!!" Everyone shouted! Music started playing and bubbles acted like confetti. "We hope you like it!" Said Shelly. "You planned this all? For me? Your the best!" Coral was so excited and shocked. "No, I couldn't have done it without the help of everyone is this room! It's from all of us!" Shelly smiled from ear to ear. "I don't know what to say! This is amazing! Thank you everyone!" Coral laughed. "Let's start dancin'!" Someone yelled out in the blur of Merpeeps. "Yeah!" Everyone seemed to say back. It was a great night that everyone celebrated in the Kingdom of AquaTopia. 

The End

My Resolutions

        Hey guys! So, I'm thinking ahead for this next year, and I've decided I'll make my own resolutions for 2015. Some of you would probably have asked if I had resolutions eventually; although, nobody has yet. ;) So to start this off, I'm going to thank everyone who has been reading my blog in 2014 and before. :) Thanks guys! This blog means so much to me, and I don't know what my life would have been like if I didn't start it in 2013. I've made so many new friends along the way, and it's been an awesome experience! :') I'm literally crying-but tears of joy! I love you guys so much!
        The big thing that I am going to try to do is this:
I am totally doing this!
       (Via Pinterest)
      I'm glad that I have all year to do this! It'll take forever! "A banned book"? What is that supposed to mean?! My library doesn't have any "banned books"! And if they're banned, then they are probably banned for a reason! I think I'm just going to skip that...
        Other resolutions:


  • Get 40 followers by the end of the year 2015. You guys are going to have to help me with that. ;P
  • Have a picture in every other post at least (excluding music videos). :)
  • Get blonde highlights in my hair. :D
  • Put $200 in my bank account by the end of the year.
  • Get 2 babysitting jobs(I haven't babysat anyone besides my own family since March last year).
       That's all I can think of. :) What are your resolutions? Will you do the reading challenge with me? Comment below!
