Australia!

Hey guys! 
It's Tuesday which means new post. (:
Who remembers my Hawaiian post?
Well, we had such a good reaction to it and so I thought we could do more facts about different countries and of course link it to Animal Jam!
This weeks country is.........Australia!
We'll be splitting up the post into 3 sections, facts, den items and the countries famous Animal.
It's a little different to my Hawaiian post but It'll be just as fun to read!



Facts

Number one: Australia is the sixth - largest country in the world!


Number two: The capital of Australia is Canberra


Number three: The highest point in Australia is Mount Kosciusko


Number four: The currency in Australia is the Australian dollar



Number five: As of 2012, Australia has an estimated population of 22 million people


Number six: Australia has over 750 different reptile species, more than any other countries in the world.


Number seven: A desert area known as the 'Outback' covers much of the land.


Number eight: Australia has a range of different landscapes, including urban areas, mountain ranges, deserts and rain forests.


Number nine: The name 'Australia' comes from the lLatin word 'Australis',meaning southern.


Number ten: Australian the 1956 (Melbourne) and 2000 (Sydney) Summer Olympics 


Den items

First up we have the Australian flag which you can find in the flag shop located in Sarepia forest!
Next, plushies!
Australia is famous for their kangaroos and koalas which we have in Animal Jam not only as animals but plushies too!


Let's not forget pools
Australians normally have pools mostly because of the hot weather!

Animal

One of the best known animals that live in Australia would be the Kangaroo.
Let's learn more about the Kangaroo!

Fact one: Kangaroos can swim.

Fact two: Most kangaroos eat grass.

Fact three: Baby kangaroos are known as ‘joeys’.

Fact four:A group of kangaroos is called a ‘mob’, ‘troop’ or ‘court’.

Fact five: The red kangaroo is the largest marsupial in the world.
Animal Jam actually has a very wonderful Kangaroo song which you can go watch in Sarepia theater that includes many interesting facts about Kangaroos and adorable pictures too!

Modern 
Major
Kangaroo
I am the very model of the modern major kangaroo
I have a pouch, I have big ears, and I also have large legs too
I am from a land called Australia, and millions of 'roos call it home
It's usually among the fields and grasslands that we like to roam
My legs are very ginormous and I use them to hop around
Sometimes I take a tiny leap, and other times a giant bound
Almost 40 miles an hour is a top speed that I can keep
And I can easily jump up to 25 feet with one leap
And she can easily jump up to 25 feet with one leap
And she can easily jump up to 25 feet with one, with one leap
I am a marsupial and my baby grows inside a pouch
When he grows up I have to teach him to sit up straight and not slouch
In short, because I have a pouch and have big ears and large legs too
I am the very model of the modern major kangaroo
In short, because she has a pouch and have big ears and large legs too
She is the very model of the modern major kangaroo
My kingdom's Animalia and my phylum is Chordata
Mammalia is my class, Infraclass: Marsupialia
Diprotodontia is my order, family: Macropodidae
Macropus is my genus (Crikey, that was difficult to say!)
There are three main species of kangaroos the are around today
The largest of us is red, there's also western and eastern gray
A group of us is called a mob, and sometimes we are called a court
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly sort
And if you saw us hop around, you might think us a silly, silly sort
Male kangaroos are known as bucks, they're also called boomers and jacks
Females are usually called does, flyers, and jills
(wow, how about that)
In short, because I have a pouch and have big ears and large legs too
I am the very model of the modern major kangaroo
In short, because she has a pouch and have big ears and large legs too

Happy 4th of July! Wild Weekend, And More!

Heyyyyy, jammers! Happy 4th of July!! Do you have any special plans for today?


Before I get started with today's blog post, I want to tell Housemom418, and Housemom322 how sorry I am for the loss of their dog, Zoey. Their dog died last night at 10:05 PM, and I am so so sorry for them. I don't know what I would do if I lost my dog, so my heart really goes out to the Housemom sisters.

Let's get into today's post!

---


I'm sure everyone knows this already... But today is 4th of July, or as Animal Jam calls it, Freedom Day! 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love summer, so that's probably a part of it. XD Watching the fireworks in our neighborhood, lighting sparklers outside, and having a BBQ is always so much fun! So I wish you all a very happy 4th of July!

On a slightly different note, today is the start of the second "wild weekend" of 2019. Last weeks wild weekend released some clothing items that had been unreleased for a while, and this weeks wild weekend features den items that had been unreleased. Ironically, two of the items are ones I highlighted in my unreleased item post last month. So without further ado, heeeere are the items!


Alright, so starting from left to right, we've got the Blue Wolf Mecha, Phantom Tiki Statue, Crab Throne, Automobile Sofa, For Sale Sign, and For Trade Sign. Most of these items are pretty cute, however... The Blue Wolf Mecha is creeping me out. From the Diamond Shop image of it, it just looks like a cute little toy, similar to the robot toys. But when you put it in your den...


It's bigger than your avatar. It's pretty scary... and if you click on it's shoulder,


This happens. Uhhhhhhhhhh.
Yeah.
No thanks AJ. :D
I mean, it looks futuristic, but... It's just a little creepy. I think it's more creepy than the phantom goop with the eyeballs in it.
If u know, u know.

According to Animal Jam Wiki, there's an Arctic Wolf Mecha, very similar to the Blue Wolf Mecha, but the Arctic Wolf one is still unreleased. It's a lot less creepy than the wolf one, I can tell you that! XD

Anywaaaaays
I'm really happy that the For Sale, and For Trade signs are now available! It's really funny how I just posted about these signs last month, and now they're actually in the game!

What's your favorite item from this wild weekend? Let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear your opinion!

Here's todays Bible verse, in very fitting patriotic colors!

John 8:36

So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

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


P.S. Today is the last day to enter the story contest! Click here to read the rules. The winner will be announced on July 7th! So far we have 3 entries.

And The Fight Begins...

__________________________________________________________________

Hello guys! Hope you all are having a great day! My morning was um, quite interesting, but you know here we are. Everything is good. Don't ask about the intro, cause I really don't know!

You're probably asking yourself, "What is up with the title?" You know I am kind of wondering the same thing. However, it's something that I feel Christians don't really see. I know I didn't until, my pastor started a series of sermons on this particular thing. What's that thing you ask? It's spiritual warfare.

I've been battling with myself to whether I should write an entire book on this topic, fictional course, but I have thought about it. Actually an entire year have I thought about it. I knew it was a thing, but I didn't really understand it, and I still don't UNDERSTAND it. I do have a little bit more of an insight on the topic though.

You see, as Christians we are in a "war." We battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil. The ideas of the world influence us, especially if you are around people who are unsaved on a regular basis (meaning you go to a public school, or go to work). Christians are called to be separate from the world.

Romans 12:1-2

1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

We wrestle with the flesh, the things that we want to do. The flesh doesn't want to get up early to pray and read the Bible. We know it's the right thing to do, but we don't want to do it. We know we should be working on writing, or playing instruments, but it's so easy to lay in bed watching YouTube. (I'm guilty of that one). 


Romans 7:15-20


15) For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16) If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17) Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20) Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

 We also fight with the devil and spiritual beings. Which is hard, because they are so much more powerful than you! 

 Ephesians 6:12

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

 1 Peter 5:8-9

8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9) Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
  
It's hard to fight. We get tired of fighting. When Jesus was in the wildness of temptation, He kept fighting. He kept going, quoting scripture along the way. He remember what He was here to do. He kept thinking about His purpose in this world. Though it was tough to be tempted it was necessary. 

Just like Jesus, it's tough to be tempted with the things of this world. It's hard to fight, but we have to keep going. We have to step it up. We have to remember our purpose. We all have a purpose. We too, need to keep fighting, quoting scripture along the way. 

I believe we are in the last days. I believe Jesus Christ is coming back to get his Bride really soon. We are told that it's going to get hard, and it already is. 

2 Timothy 3:1

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 

With that being said, I would like to encourage you to keep going. Keep fighting! Don't quit on God. Don't stop saying no to the flesh. Don't give into sin. I know it's easy to fall away, but I think we all, with Paul would like to say: 

2 Timothy 4:7-8
7) I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 
8) Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
   
In order to say, it's going to require a fight. And to that I say... "And the Fight Begins..." 

__________________________________________________________________       

Thank you all for reading! I hope you were encouraged to keep going. As Christians, we need each other more than ever.

If God called us to a task, He will then qualify us for the job. - Jack Hyles 


Today's Bible Verse: 

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. - Isaiah 12:2 (KJV) 

Remember, the best friend you have is, Jesus Christ!

Redoing my dens and look!










Hey everyone! 
Welcome back, hope you're having a great day. 
I thought this intro went pretty well because I used some of the bundle items I got from renewing my membership and this post does have a few things to do with membership. You'll have to stay tuned for that!
Anyhooo.
Have you picked up the new weekend items?
What are your thoughts on them?
I think the staffs are super cool!!
I don't know which I like best though.
They're really different to anything I've seen in the game. 
There's also 2 other new items.
The wheels, they look pretty crazy on animals but at the same time.....Really cool!
Housemom418 posted a snazzy intro with these wheels, you should check that out if you haven't already. XDD
There's also the lovely Capricorn necklace.
Super pretty <3
ANYWAYS
In today's post we'll be doing something I don't really love doing.
REDOING MY DENS AND LOOKS
Mkay, your probably thinking...Why would you redo them?
WELL, I was recently nm and that means...All the member items aren't in the dens anymore, well...Atleast the nm dens so, I'm going to be doing 1 den and 3 looks with a before and after! Let's begin with the den.
(:




Here is the den BEFORE the makeover.



Here is the den AFTER the makeover.




What do you think of the transformation?
It's very laggy but pretty SNAZZY. This den has a very interesting backstory.
So, the den is a supposed to be a stables and the beta rocking horses are well, the horses.
We have NANCY the reason why this all started.
Nancy is the main rocking horse she's been with me the longest and she is one of the nicest betas I've ever met. I could go on and on about this wonderful Nancy but I would probably be sitting here typing forever. (I'm so strange...I know (: )



Look 1 BEFORE makeover


Look AFTER makeover




Look 2 BEFORE makeover




Look 2 AFTER makeover


Look 3 before

Look 3 after


I really enjoyed doing these looks I think they're all really different the second one I actually made with House. It was a matching look with our friendship charm necklaces, I have a few screenshots!



Anyways
that's all for today!
Hope you enjoyed, let me know which color staff you liked better and until next time...
PEACE
