Update Thursday on Friday?!?!

Hi guys! I'm doing this on a Thursday, like I usually do if I want to post about an update. Since this update is pretty cool, I decided that I would do an update post! Let's just jump right into it!

   Thoughts:

I thought this page is pretty cool! I enjoy seeing all my buddies making different colors of patterns!

I give this page a 8/10, because I feel like Animal Jam has just been changing the pattern of animals, just to make ''better'' updates. Anyway, let's keep going.

Thoughts: 

I liked this page, because it's pretty cool that there is a den filled with candy, and a chocolate bath!

Overall, I give this page a 8/10, like the one before, because it just comes out every year. It's cool though!

Thoughts:

I LOVED THIS PAGE! Even though it comes out every year, the prizes are sometimes different than other times! I just think this is so cool that they do this. I know I've been good this year... well... maybe. 😉 I give this page a 10/10!

Thoughts:

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I LOVED THIS PAGE. SHE IS SO LUCKY SHE GOT TO VISIT AJHQ AND MAKE A PET BEAR!!! THE COOL THING IS SHE MADE IT FOR ALL JAMMERS... OKAY, TOTALLY GIVE THIS A 10/10... OR SHOULD I SAY... 100/10

Thoughts:

I love the Jamaaliday Jam! It's a really fun party, and I also love the pet reindeer's! Sadly, I missed this party when it first came on. Urghhhh! Anyway, I give this page a 9/10.

Thoughts:

10/10 DEFINITELY. I LOVE THE JAMAALIDAY RESCUE, PLUS EXCLUSIVE JAMAALIDAY ITEMS? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MAKING DENS, AND I NEED ITEMS REALLY BAD. SO, THIS IS A PERFECT PAGE FOR ME!

Thoughts:

Err... how can I say this... okay, so I don't really care for this page, because I mean... it is the same thing EVERY YEAR. Plus, this is for members only soooo. ANYWAY, I MEAN IT'S OKAY, I GIVE IT A 6/10 XD.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's it for today! I hope you guys enjoyed it! Bye! 

Acts 16:7

Rambling, And Party Reminder!

Hiiiiii everyone! I'm really really sorry I haven't been posting lately. I really need another author, because technically I only have 4 active authors since Ja is on hiatus, and I don't always post on my designated days (oops), but the thing is, I DON'T KNOW WHO.
so anyways
I'm just really picky on who writes for my blog. Like, really really picky. XDD It seems like all my authors are vanishing right before my eyeballs...
I'm considering doing author auditions, but I just don't know yet. I'll keep it in prayer. To show you how picky I am, I will give you a list of qualifications...

1. A totally all in for Christ kind of Christian, doesn't compromise their beliefs
2. Sense of humor
3. Flexible/workable schedule
4. Plays Animal Jam/knows a lot about the game
5. Fairly good grammar
6. Doesn't cause division
7. Can give out an email address because that's how I add people to the blog
8. Knows about technology/Blogger/Google+ to some degree to be able to publish blog posts

If you're that person...
Let me know.
XDD
Sorry for my rambling

Here's todays Bible verse!

Lamentations 3:21-22

Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.

It's pretty amazing to think that God's love towards us will never end. His mercies will never end either. He will never stop forgiving us, and having endless mercy toward us. No matter what you've done, no matter what I've done, we will always be forgiven and loved at the foot of the cross. That is so incredibly powerful.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Hello Guys! Today's is going to be epic, at least I hope so! Today, we are heading over to the arcade, to...well...what else do we do an arcade, other then...PLAY GAMES!!!!!!!

I am going to be playing 5 games, each 3 times, let's see how this goes! 




1) Wind Rider...

Honestly, I don't know if I've ever played this game, in my 6 years, if I have it's been once. So this is going to go great...probably not! 

1. I got 39 gems, ran into a phantom once, that's not bad. 
2. I got 28 gems, ran into 4 phantoms, it just got bad!
3. I got 53 gems, ran into 0 phantoms, it's not my favorite game, but I definitely made an improvement!  

2) Double Up...

This game I used to play, and pretty good at it actually. So, let's see how we are now. 

1. I got 44 Gems.
2. I got 44 Gems...again. 
3. Once again, 44 gems, I'm guessing if you complete it in a certain amount of time you get the same amount, no matter how long it took you. 

 

3) Long Shot...

I LOVE THIS GAME! I would play this game for hours, along with Overflow, way back! 

1. I launched and it didn't go anywhere! We are are off to a great start, with a distance of 12, 1 gem collected. 
2. I launched it went pretty far, then I hit a groundhog (at least I think that's what it was), who launched me even further, this happened SOOOO MANY TIMES! I go a distance of 17,934 and 25 gems. 
3. My second round was the best, this one only traveled a distance of 12,184, gaining 20 gems. 

4) Hedge Hog...

I never really liked this game, so I know how this is going to go...

1. It's not bad for my first round. I got a score of 21,890 and 36 gems! 
2.  My second was better than my first, with a score of 34,460 and 56 gems, though I was still on level 1! 
3. This is the worst score out the three, I guess it was a hedge-y day! LOL I got a score of 11,880 and 19 gems.

5) Mira Says...

This is the last game, probably a bad game to end with, but we're going to do it anyway.

1. This was going pretty goooooood at first...I got a score of 58,290 and 72 gems.
2. This was a really odd level, it was pink, green, blue, orange, then it added pink and green again, unfortunately I misclicked and well, didn't get to see it the pattern continued... That would be REALLY cool if it did. I ended this round with a score of 23,785 and 20 gems. 
3. This was similar to round 2, except it was 2 pink, 2 orange, 1 green, 1 blue. That's where this round stopped XD I am so bad at this! We completed this round with a score of 24,560 and 21 gems. 

 

Man, that looks like a lot of gems in our bucket... 

1...2...3...4...

Many hours later... 

519...520....521...522...

It looks like it's pay day, with 522 gems! To me it was a success! 

__________________________________________________________________

AND just like that we are done with today's post. If you guys want to see me play any more games, please let me know! This was a really fun post and I would love to play more games!

Today's Encouraging Quote: 

"The Christian life is a life that consists of following Jesus" - A.W. Pink  

Today's Bible Verse:

And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. - 1 Chronicles 12:32 (KJV) 

The things you find in 1 and 2 Chronicles are interesting. It's the little detail "which were men that had understanding of the times" here that's interesting. Can you tell the times? Can you tell that Jesus is almost coming back? I think it's soon! At least, I hope it is! 

Remember, the best friend you have is Jesus Christ.

There's Power In The Word (Part 7)

:Grabs guitar: 

Hey, guys! :Sings: 

"Houze..."

Yeeeessss?

"You gone off the deep end." 

Well, I thought I would try to entertain you, since my intros don't do the trick.

:Continues to sing: You may think that, but I love my guitar. 

"Oh Houze, you're bazaar."

Why, thank you! That is the nicest thing I've heard all day.

___________________________________________________________________

Okay, so this is going to be semi-short. I am not really trying to skimp on my posts, but it's been busy lately. So let's get right into the meat of the post, or should I say turkey? LOLOkay, enough jokes. 

49) Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

50) This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

51) The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law. 

52) I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

53) Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

54) Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

55) I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

56) This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

Today's Power Verse is going to be...

























































50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Our comfort comes from Jesus Christ. He is our comforter. Where do we learn and see what He has to say, at? The Bible! The Bible is our comfort, yes, it can convict us and make us uncomfortable, but that's only because God loves us. 

Proverbs 3:11-12 -  

11) My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:

12) For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
 
Or

Hebrews 12:11-
  
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Some verses on God or His word being your comfort:

Psalms 86:17- 

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

Isaiah 12:1- 

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.

Matthew 5:4-
 
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

John 14:26-

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 

Romans 15:4- 

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 

1 Thessalonians 4:18-

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.


It's important to go to God when you're feeling down. He is the ultimate comforter. 

Sorry it's so short! I have to go...

Rare Item Monday - Gracie Edition

*News reporter* Your scheduled rare item Monday is about to begin-
*Gracie tramples over new reporter*
WITH GRACIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Helloooooo everyone! Welcome to your weekly rare item Monday post- GRACIE EDITIOOOOOON! (where did that crazy title come from) Today I'm covering Coolcat's post since she's going through some things with family things right now.

Today's rare item is a really cool one, so let's get started with it!

---

Today's rare item is a rare plaid blanket and is located on the first page in the Shiver Shoppe in the Cocoa Hut at Mt. Shiveer. It's being sold for 750 gems, and is for all jammers! I really love this blanket, and would be great for a Christmas morning outfit!

I didn't know if there was a RIM today, because there wasn't a post about it on the Daily Explorer, and I couldn't find it in Jam Mart Clothing or Jam Mart Furniture. So I thought of another place that sometimes has RIM's, the Shiver Shoppe! Sure enough it was there!

I'd totally rate this item a 10, it's super cute!

---

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving (or if you're Canadian, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving last month!)! Do you have any plans?

---

Here's todays Bible verse!

Colossians 2:7

Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.

Thanksgiving 2018

Hello Guys!

"Houze, you're two days late."

I know, I know. Let me explain!

"Here we go again. She was on some kind of adventure."

You call being sick an adventure?

"You were sick?"

:Facepalm: Yes I was sick.

"Must've been because we left you in that tree last week. It serves you right."

Guys! You're supposed to be on MY side! What happened?

"You happened."

Whatever.

_________________________________________________________________


So, yeah, it's Friday. My sister posted on Wednesday. I was sooooo sick! I had zero brain power! Like literally, at one point I just started crying for NOOO reason! My head felt like a big balloon, but let me tell you! I am thankful for sleep! I've slept and here I am better! Well, more like 85% better, but you know. I am on the road to recovery! Thank you all to who prayed! They were answered. 😀



Now, I know some of you are Canadian, but this is for my American friends. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. I wanted to talk about what Thanksgiving is to be for the Christian.


I's a time to look back and be thankful for the blessing on you life over the past year. There's really so much to be thankful for.

•  Your Salvation/relationship with Jesus Christ.
•  Family
• Pets
• Health (Believe me you don't think about this one until you're laying in the bed wanting to go outside for some fresh air, but your body tells you can't get up).
• Churches
• Food
• Friends
• Freedom to worship the True God. (Some people don't have this opportunity).
• House
• and soooooooooooo many more things. Just be thankful!  

The Bible speaks of being thankful time and time and time again!  

Psalms 50:14 - Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:


We've made it something it's not. Stores open late Thanksgiving Day having the best deals of the season. What happened to Black FRIDAY? What happened to the day we spent with family instead of a line that is miles long. (Literally) What happened?

We've rushed things. A day that should be celebrated giving God thanks and spending time with friends and family, has been turned into a day of wanting more. It's to time be thankful!


Take some time and just thank God. Even, if it's just "Thank you for allowing me to live, Lord."

Today's Encouraging Quote: 

Count your blessings, instead of your troubles. Count you smiles instead of your tears. Count on God instead of others. - Unknown

Today's Bible Verse: 

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. - Romans 12:4-5 

Remember, the best friend you have is Jesus Christ.

Fall Fashion Show Part 2! + Yes, I did switch my pet dove...

Hey guys! Yes, I'm posting on a Wednesday. My sister is sick, and she feels horrible, so she wanted me to fill in for her. Please send some prayers to my mom and sister please. :C Anyway, let's get started! The first thing I'm going to do is the Fall Fashion Show. You guys, this is like the last round of the fall fashion show because nobody else joined. One person named Kippy joined, but I needed their real username, so I could not enter them. Thanks for trying to join though, Kippy!
Are you ready for the winner?

YAY CONGRATULATIONS YOU MADE IT.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Graciepopstar91!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great job! The winner gets...

I'll give it to you the next time you get on! Now onto another part of the post! XD
So, as you probably saw in the title, I switched my pet dove... ready to see the beauty?

Isn't it cute? Here's the certificate! 

I would say that I like this dove a whole lot more than the blue and pink dove. I think the blue and pink doves are more common than black and purple. Aaaah, I'm just in love with this dove. I usually name my pets, so what should I name it? Oh, right. I forgot to say, it's name is Autumnpup, but I need like... one of those roleplay names? If that makes sense? ALSO GRACIE, IF YOU COULD DRESS IT THAT'D BE GREAT. XDDDDD Sorry, I always get her to dress my pets, but I keep forgetting. Actually, let's just say... I forgot that you can dress this pet dove. Huehuehue. Anyway, that's it for today! Sorry if it seems like a short post, I just want to go and paint. I know, I know, my sister is probably going to read this and then be like, ''YOU ARE PAINTING AGAIN?'' Yeah, heh. Anyway, I really love art now. ANYWAY XDDDDD, I've only said Anyway 50 million times. Bye guys! 💙Psalms 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
