| Hey Gang! Well Christmas is almost here! I can't believe it! This year has gone by so fast. This is just a quick note to remind you all of how much I love you and how happy I am that you have been coming to group and/or sunday school this year. I also wanted to remind you of how important this season is for us, I think that sometimes we as christians forget how important it is. This is when we celebrate the day that Christ our savior was born. The day that his young teenaged virgin mother went in to labor and delivered him safely in a manger. Her mom wasn't there to hold her hand, there were no doctors, or drugs to help with the pain, she had no warm baby clothes to put Jesus in just a feeding trough, with the cows and sheep... I feel so badly for Mary, how bad would it suck to explain to your mom and dad that you were having a baby and that it didn't belong to any earthly man, especially the one you were promised to. Mary is officially my hero! Lol! I hope this encourages all of you to keep Christ in Christmas and to tell someone how wonderful and amazing his love and existence is! Happy Holidays! Betsy | | |

| Hey girls! Sorry it's been a while! So fun story for ya'll! This morning I was sitting in a parking lot at MTSU reading a book and listening to WAYFM which is very up lifting at 8am, and this song by Barlow Girl came on. I don't know how many of you are fans of them but let me tell you they write some pretty amazing songs that really speak to me. This one song inparticular I hadn't heard before and it caught my ear as soon as it came one. It's about looking in the mirror and realizing that it doesn't have all the answers, it took me about oh 18 years to realize that and this song really spoke to me it even brought tears to my eyes. No, I don't mean one glistening tear falling down my cheek I mean like a flash flood. The song was so humbling and just brought me to God's feet. I really just want you girls to know how much I love you and how much God loves you and how incredibly gorgeous each one of you are seriously I haven't seen as much beauty in one room as I have at our youth group sessions on Wednesday nights!I hope as ya'll get older that you will always remember what a knock out you are! Here are the lyrics!: Mirror, Mirror on the wall: have I got it?
'Cause Mirror, you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
So sorry, you won't define me
Sorry, you don't own me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeah, yeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try Mirror, I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him, I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me
Yeah, yeah Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeah, yeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try
You don't define me, you don't define me
You don't define me, you don't define me
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeah, yeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try
Yeah, yeah
Who are you to tell me
That I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
Yeah, yeah
I don't need to listen
To the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try I love you girls SO much! Betsy Culbreath

| Hey girls! I realize that middle school is a very trying time because well, I've been there... lol. But yeah, Just a little glimpse into my past for ya'll : I went to Rockvale Elementary, back in the day, and I was a cheerleader, a lot of drama started my 7th grade year that carried on into my 8th grade year because of things that other cheerleaders started. It was so hard for me to get through that time, I felt like everyone was attacking me and that there was no point anymore. I got into a lot of fights with a lot of different people and went on the High School with no friends from Middle School, which turned out to be the best thing for me. but anyway, I've been searching through scripture trying to find some words of encouragement for ya'll as some of you ladies go through the exact same thing! So here ya go... and please always remember God loves you and he really knows what is best for you and also, that you always have me and Jesus! "Think about all he endured when sinful people did such terrible things to him, so that you don't become weary and give up. After all, you have not yet given your lives in your struggle against sin." Hebrews 12:3-4 "Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of love and good deeds." Hebrews 10:24 "So don't bother rebuking mockers; they will only hate you. But the wise, when rebuked, will love you all the more." Proverbs 9:8 "Upright citizens bless a city and make it prosper, but the talk of the wicked tears it apart." Proverbs 11:11 ... I also want ya'll to know that these struggles don't end in middle school or even high school, they will follow you for what seems like forever. I am still struggling with these issues but I pray that God will help me through and he always does... and I pray that he will help ya'll through too, and I know he will. I hope these verses help you like they helped me. I friggin' love you girls! Betsy Jo | | |
