Hey guys! long time no blog ;}  I would like to take a quick minute to thank my followers for commenting nice things and bringing a smile to my face and a  HUGE shout out to K.A for telling her blog about mine!

Anyways, I've been super busy with school and such. I'm not really sure if I told you or not, but I'm homeschooled. Our little town has lots of homeschoolers in the town and in the surrounding towns. The moms decided to start a homeschool co-op. its been a super fun time! Us highschoolers have been taking a bible class, a financial peace class, and a speech class. for bible class we all have to teach our own bible lesson. we have to teach it in the format of a IPEAR.  You can google it to get the definition ;) I'm teaching mine on loving your enemies. stay tuned for that blog post. I feel like loving your enemies is something that everybody tend to forget to do, so a reminder wont hurt. for financial peace, we're watching Dave Ramsey videos. he has lots of wisdom and tips! I totally recommend all highschoolers to take his classes  (you can order them on the web). For speech we are learning how to write and give proper speeches. I actually gave a biographical report on Candace Cameron Bure. I kind of let my nerves get the best of me and didn't do to well. Its ok though, because I have next week to prove myself.

I've been trying super hard to get in shape again. not gonna lie its been super hard to not eat a bunch of sugar and stay up super late and be to tired to get up early and lift weights or walk up a hill for 30 minutes. My friend has been going with me, so its been more fun than work. My mom is a personal trainer, so she has all the tools to make sure we do everything right and don't hurt ourselves. that's been a blessing and a curse, but more of a blessing. she's doing a great job, both my mom and my friend! God sure has blessed me with great people in my life this past year!

our family and our friends the blues are in charge of the ladies Christmas tea at our church. I'm stoked about it! I don't know, just something about being in charge of something big is such a fun thing for me! I would love to be a event planner when I'm older or do something in that sort. I feel like lots of people this year tend to forget about the meaning of the season and start focusing on materialistic things, its so sad to me.  anyways, back to the Christmas tea. My mom picked white for the color and silent night as the theme. its going to be a blast! there will defiantly be lots of pictures for you guys to see! 

Thanks for reading my blog post! Please leave a comment and I'll try to respond;)

                               BE CONTENT NOT ENVIOUS

Hey!  Today I'm going to be talking about being content with all God has given us. I don't know about you, but I constantly find myself on youtube  watching house and room tours and I find myself wanting everything they have. Its almost to the point where I'm jealous over stupid little things like their bed spread or the lighting in their room. James 3:16 reminds us not to be so envious. It says, "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice."
For any of y'all wondering "vile" means "extremely unpleasant." I know that when I'm unpleasant that nobody else around me is happy. The verse is basically saying that wherever you're jealous its going to be a very vile place. Proverbs 14:30 is also a great verse.
'A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot."
Tranquil means peaceful. I know for a fact that I want a peaceful heart and I'm sure you do too! The main point I'm trying to get here is that being envious is so, so hard and very unpleasant, for both you and the people around you.  Now lets move onto the positive of this post its about "being content". when I think of content I think of me sitting in a comfy chair, drinking hot tea, reading and holding my 6 week old kitten. To me "contentment" means being okay with everything you see.
Hebrews 13:5 says,
keep your life free from love and money, and be CONTENT with what you have. for he has said, " never will I leave you and never will I forsake you."
I know sometimes you want  all the money in the world and be jealous when you see people will all the money in the world.  please just remember that all you need  to be content is Jesus.

This is my favourite picture from the league swim meet. I didn't end if placing, but it ok because I got this great picture out of the deal.

This is us before we took mark. 

I was to the point where I curl curl 25 pounds 3 times.

I spent lots of time in the gym, that of corse ended up in lots of muscle pictures. 

Iloved leg day, but not as much as I loved arm day. I don't know something about having strong arms was appealing to me. 

My mom took this picture and I absolutely love it, not to mention a really funny inside joke cam along with this picture 

This my was favourite leg workout. My one rep max was 250 (I think😉).

This is me at the Maryland beach, it was beautiful!! Not to mention that was my favourite outfit last spring.

I went to a music festival last spring with my friend Emma, my mom and my brothers. It was a blast! Not to mention the snow cones were amazing!!

We went on a 2 night 3 day hiking trip in Arkansas. 

My little brother Holden competed in his first triathlon this summer. I got to be the photographer! 

My first post!!

Hey! I'm super excited to start a new adventure! My name is Reese Ziegler. Ive been homeschooled my whole life except 3 months in first grade. I have a youtube channel called Reese Ziegler, I know so original! My family also has a vlog channel called zieglerfamily vlogs, it's also really original! I'm in the swim team and I coach soccer. I love learning, but history is by far my favourite subject, english is my worst. I consider my style 90% edgy, 5% hippie pants and 5% cute. My favourite clothing item is my flannel and my cardigans. When I was 10 I started writing a book called "how to live a Godly life". I'm gonna rewrite some if that and list it in here. So there was some fun facts about me! I hope you enjoyed!
