Short Stuff wants to encourage her followers to check out The Story! Go to www.thestory.com to learn more information! Also Short Stuff has been learning about budgeting and how to give and to save and also to spend! Thats still a learning process. So overall school for Short Stuff is going very well. Short Stuff enjoys it a lot!
Also Short Stuff has been keeping busy with Church activities. Short Stuff helps at Lutheran Church of Hope Ankeny in many areas. She helps with the Cupboard which is where we help people who can't normally afford groceries. We give them a bag filled with food and we try and help them out. So Short Stuff helps with that. Short Stuff also works part time in the nursery watching the kids and playing with them and having a good time. Short Stuff likes to give the kids high fives and welcome them into the nursery! Short Stuff occasionally helps out on the production team. Short Stuff enjoys that as well. But weeks are busy but fun as she goes about learning and keeping busy. So thats what Short Stuff has been busy with. Short Stuff likes to have things to do! Short Stuff loves meeting new people in the Ankeny area. Short Stuff loves being able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in anyway possible. And in almost all of Short Stuff's blog updates she wants to encourage you and share the gospel with you.

What is The Story?
 |
| THE STORY!!!!! |
Hello followers of Short Stuff,
I hope everyone has had a great week so far! My week is going good. I want to share with you a little bit about what The Story is. Now this past week Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moine, Johnston-Grimes, downtown Des Moine and Ankeny have started a series on The Story.
The Story is the Holy Bible. It is ONLY portions of the Holy Bible though. Some of you may want to know more. Well thats why I am writing this blog so I can share my knowledge of what I know about The Story. So first off, why should we read The Story? I believe that this is a tool that helps me understand the Word more in depth and helps me get connected to God in a new way. It really is a good book. I am only in the second chapter, but I am enjoying it so far.
For me its a lot easier to understand. I encourage anyone who is willing to read this book to purchase the book. The Story is portions of the Bible made into a complete book. It is exact words from the NIV bible. The Story offers churches an amazing church wide experience. They have The Story in adult version and youth version which means for teens and children version so you can read it to your little children as well.
What I like about The Story is its not just a book for adults its a book that EVERYONE can read. This is a really good book and I encourage you to read The Story and dive into the Holy Word of God! Check The Story out! If you would like to purchase The Story go to www.thestory.com

What has Short Stuff been up too?
Hello everyone! First off I want to apologize because I thought this posted when I wrote it the first time! I guess not :( Never fear Short Stuff is here! Anyways this past week has been good last Tuesday I had school! Which was a lot of fun!
On Tuesday I learned about the twin towers and the tradgic event that took place on that day. If you don't know we had two planes crash into the world trade center and both towers didn't make it. Tons of people died that day. I also did current events and I wrote in my thankful journal on what I was thankful for that day.
I also had tech class that week. I learned about technology and the difference between hardware and software. On Friday I again wrote in my thankful journal. I guess I should tell you I do that at the beginning of every school day.
I also did a current event for that day. I also got to read The Story. Now this is something I am excited to tell you about. At my church which is Lutheran Church of Hope Ankeny we are starting a new series which is based on The Story. Now your probable wondering just what is The Story? It's a book that is just a portion of the bible made into a book. They have kid versions of The Story and teen versions and adult versions. It's a good book and I don't know if you can get them at a bookstore but check it out maybe you can. Don't quote Short Stuff on that though. But if your ever in Ankeny I encourage you to come to Hope either in Ankeny or West Des Moine and purchase it. Dive into The Story!
On Friday Short Stuff also got to travel down to Pella to cheer on the PC Eagles and Des moine Christian! Eagles beat! On Saturday I drove back to Ankeny and hung around at the house did some homework :) so overall thats what's going on with Short Stuff! Again sorry I thought this posted when I first wrote it. :( Short Stuff hopes you have a blessed week! Remember God loves you!!
Blessings

Whats been happening this week with Short Stuff?
Hello everyone!
Short Stuff is going to share with you a little bit whats been happening this week.
First of all Short Stuff has been pretty busy. Short Stuffs mom had surgery on Tuesday. She had a thumb surgery and Short Stuff was honored to be with her that day of the surgery. Her mom is now at home recuperating from surgery. She is doing pretty good. Right now Short Stuff is playing the role of a nurse. Being her moms right hand and helping her mom out is what Short Stuff loves to do. As her mom is unable to do somethings. Along with being at school in a different part of town Short Stuff checks in every once in a while just to see how her mom is doing.
Along with that Wednesday Short Stuff left for school that morning and then went back home to be with her mom as her mom was in a lot of pain. Short Stuff made her mom feel comfortable and gave her everything she needed. I guess you could say Short Stuff also is a personal body guard to her mom. To just make sure no one messes with her or bumps her arm on accident.
But then Short Stuff stayed home that night and also attended her youth groups kickoff. Which was a lot of fun. Short Stuff is so excited to see what God is going to do this year in her youth group. Along with that Short Stuff is very excited to be doing the Interlude at some of her youth group events.
Today Short Stuff had school and took a trip to West Des Moine with her sister.Short Stuff came home and got right down to work with school.
Friday Short Stuff will be going to school and then is going to head down to Pella for the night. Then Saturday she will be hanging out at home and then working in her churches nursery. Short Stuff welcomes you to attending Saturday Services at Hope Ankeny at the station which starts at 5:00 pm. The address for that is 1924 SW 3rd Street Ankeny. We also have Sunday services that are held at Prairie Ridge Middle School in Ankeny. The address is 1010 NW Prairie Ridge Drive, Ankeny. The Sunday Service times are 9:15 and 11:00. So if your in Ankeny stop by this weekend and join us for worship. Hope Ankeny would love to have you!
So that ends this week of Short Stuffs blog!
Hope you enjoyed reading it
Blessings to all reading!

Short Stuffs first two weeks of Senior year
Hello followers of Short Stuff!
I first off want to Thank you for taking the time to read this blog. I hope you enjoy reading it and following Short Stuff on her fun and exciting adventures that her Savior Jesus Christ takes her on.
As you have probably read I am now a Senior! ( I know its crazy how fast time flies) I will be talking about the classes I am attending and saying a little about what I am learning.
In my schooling I am taking a life class. In this class I learn about good hygiene and a what it means to have a good clean environment. Its a good life skill learning class. If I am going to live on my own I am going to have to know those skills. Those skills include laundry and keeping the house clean and learning more about appearance and appropiate clothing etc. So thats what I am learning in that class.
The next class I am studying is History. In this class I am learning about the Holocaust. I am learning how many of the Jews got killed because there leader Adolf Hitler didnt like the Jews or anyone who didn't meet his expectations. He also sent people to Concentration Camps which was a painful place to be. It was pretty much a place of death because lots of people died in the Concentration camps.Thats what Short Stuff is learning in History.I also am reading a book called "Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry. Check it out sometime its a great book.
Another class I am taking is Math. This class is learning about money and how to use it and save it. Also during school I make a meal for my family and I learn also about meal planning and how to spend my money by only using $10.00 to buy the ingredients for that meal. So thats my math class.
I am also taking a technology class. In this class I learn about what a computer is and how it works and the history of the computer. I am also learning who invented the first computer and people who built computers. Its a fun class its also very interesting.
I am also doing activities such as This Day in History. For this class I go to this certain website and on this website it has the date and what happened on that day a long time ago. Its cool! Right now in this class I am learning about Pompeii and the devastating volcano that erupted on August 24, 79 A.D The most interesting thing I learned about this was that ono the last stage of the Volcano it went down the volcano at 300 mph and the temperature reached as high as 400 degrees. (Thats HOT!!) It was a devastating time for the people in Pompeii because mostly everyone was killed by the debris and the ash. Some were even burned alive.
I am also doing a thankful Journal. Everyday I write something I am thankful for and why I am thankful for it. So thats pretty much what I did my first two weeks of Senior year. I am really excited to see what my teachers have in store for me in the weeks and months ahead.
Even though I am in school I also get to spend time with my niece and nephew and I get to watch them grow and I get to know them better personally. I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post. If you are in school I hope God blesses you this year as ou go about learning and having another fun filled year. I am very thankful to have people read my blog. Heres a verse I want to share with you its about giving thanks to our Lord for all He has done for us.
Ephesians 5:20
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
Blessings to everyone reading this blog!
May God bless you and keep you!
