Have a wonderful week!
The Ciampi Ranch has been busy the last couple of days! On Valentines day our pregnant goat Snickers gave birth to twins! We named them Jack and Jill! Then today, Hailey ( Snickers mom) gave birth to a baby boy goat! (Snickers new brother and Uncle to the twins.)We now have a total of eight goats! We haven't name him yet (Any suggestions?) Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. ~Hebrews 12:1-2
Have a wonderful week!

I have been wanting to share a post on photography since I got a new camera, and just because I love pictures! I have named this post of pictures: Spring! Here in Arizona, Spring is here and plants are beginning to bloom! (Note: none of these pictures have been edited, mainly because we don't have a good editing program!) Let us keep this verse in mind! "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8 NKJV Have a nice evening!
If this picture doesn't make you smile, than I don't know what will! She is our family's little sunshine! I recently was going through a book and got to the chapter about a have a sunny disposition. We often don't realize how much a smile can do for a person. In looking up the suggested scriptures, I was amazed on how having a cheerful countenance and a merry heart can bring healing, health, and happiness to a person. Listen to what a few verses in Proverbs say about this. All the days of the afflicted are evil, The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, Merry heart= cheerful countenance.
Dull or sad heart= sad or blue countenance. It's that simple. One thing I want to point out is the reason our hearts should be joyful/happy (or at least the main reason.) It's because of Jesus we should shine and be joyful! Others will be attracted to the real joy and light in us if we a shining for Him. Perhaps they'll even ask, 'why are you smiling?' Then you can tell them of the hope that is within you! You see our dark world looks a real and true light and will either get away from it or be attracted to it. I encourage all of you to put a smile on your face and shine for the Lord this week! You never know who you can be a witness to, even if it's just a little smile! Here's another "awk and awe" post! Awkward: - Realizing that while your piano teacher was telling you to look to the left and then to the camera, you weren't smiling, but was suppose to. I was being green screened for a project in piano and I didn't realize he was recording. :P - Watching yourself on the video. That is just weird! :P - Finding the charge/plugin cord for a DVD player in the freezer! As well as a pencil! :P - Not realizing what the P.E. coach was asking you to do. - Having to stand on the kitchen table to put up streamers for your Dad's birthday. Your Dad is also sitting at the table. :P - Awkward parts in movies! - Walking to the mailbox and since there is a main road in front of your house all these cars with people looking at you are driving by, while you get the mail. :P Awesome:
- Green screening is sooo cool! Especially when you put the background in! - Surprise parties! Their fun all around! -Sight and Sound plays! AWESOME! The new one they video they produced (Jonah) was fabulous! { If you have not seen Jonah or any of the other Sight and Sound productions, I highly encourage you to do so! Great for the whole family!} - Exercise! P.E. can be so much fun, especially when you do it with friends! - Great movies (such as Courageous) are just awesome! - Friends! What would we do without friends (and siblings!) I'm thankful Christ is my ultimate friend! - Math actually being easy this week and getting great scores! :P (I usually dislike math greatly.) - What Christ did for me on the cross! I'm constantly amazed at what He did for me. I am also greatly thankful for His love for me! Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. (Note: Emphases of mine added.) The other day, my Dad came in with a baby lamb! We have a goat that's pregnant, but we had no idea that we had a sheep that was pregnant! We have kinda of taken the name of Coco for her. She's so dark, she stands out among the other sheep! Here's some pictures of her! Hope ya'll have a great evening!
