Family Time

For me, my faith in my Savior wouldn't even have occurred without my family. My parents raised me in church and stuck me in a private school as soon as they possibly could. And I wouldn't have it any other way. I know that my family will always love me, support me, welcome me, and comfort me whenever I need it. Although we are certainly not the perfect family, we make do. Let me tell you a little about who raised me. I was born on February 27th to Gary and Kandy Steen. I have two wonderful older sisters, one 10 years older (Jenn) and the other 9 years older (Jessy). Both my parents are amazing gourmet cooks with Harley's and both of my sisters are very artistic though each has her own style. My eldest sister Jennifer is married to Shawn for about three years now and they just had their first baby, Ainsley. My other sister Jessy is married to Ian, the Honduran. I've always looked up to both of my sisters; they are like much cooler other mothers to me and I love them both very much. Jenn tought me how to be "cool" (very important) and Jessy led me to my first inquiries about God. I'm truely blessed to have the family that I do.

Today, we took Ainsley to her first baseball game and she enjoyed it quite alot. Although she drew alot of attention away from the actual game...

Ultimate Royalty

My friends and I always joke that I'm "THE Princess" but, in reality, the whole royalty thing only started because I am the King of King's daughter and I honestly believe that that makes me royalty. Now, that doesn't mean that I act like a princess all the time, certainly not. But I do believe it's time that we all try to live up to our titles as Princes and Princesses of God's kingdom and do some good in his name.

Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:12-14
