Artwork

If you haven't noticed yet, I LOVE MUSIC!! I also love art... In my mind music, drawing and painting, dancing, and cooking (which I'm not real fond of) are all art. I love listening to music, singing and playing instruments. I love dancing, it's my passion. I love drawing and painting. Cooking is ok, if I have someone to help me out ;-). Ok, enough about me...

You know how when you were a kid and saw your mom or dad make something. You wanted to show them you could make stuff to. You'd run get your crayons and paper and make a cute little picture... Even if it didn't look good, they'd thank you and tell you how much they loved. Well, my art is the same way with God. Even if it doesn't look good, He paise my "good" work. But it's the same way in life. No matter how bad we do... He says "I still love you!" 

God sent His one and only Son, Jesus, to be crucified. That was the worst way to die then. You are God's little princess, little prince. He loves you and wants to take care of you. But you have to love Him back and have to want to care for His people too. 

Jesus Freaks

"What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?!? What will people do when they find out it's true?!? I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak!! There ain't no disguising the truth" - Jesus Freak by DCTalk.

Those lyrics are so much more than lyrics. There are hundreds of Christians risking their lives day after day. They love God so much, they would give their lives up for Him. The book 'Jesus Freak' is different stories about men and women that have given their life or are giving their life. 

If those people can give their lives, why can't we just give a little time or money. Not saying give all your money... Just pay your tithes and offering is great! We have so much that we take for granted, when there are several people who have nothing. Why can't we just give a little time or little money to help them out. I do it too, I'm not talking to just y'all. I'm talking to my self also. 

God is calling us to SHINE! I want to shine not just in the darkness, but through the darkness. If God is calling you to do something... Why aren't you doing it...

Southern Jewel's Shine Time: Shine

This Song, "Shine" is one of my all time favorite songs! It really says what we all need to do. I personally think that we all should SHINE! When we SHINE, we can not only brighten someone's day but bring someone else to CHRIST!






If you have a friend or something who doesn't know Jesus, and you don't know how to ask or find out. Just invite them to do something like go to Church or just hang-out and talk about your faith. That is SHINING that light and plant a seed inside them.

About My Family

Hi, I'm Southern Jewel, and I'm gonna tell you a little bit about myself. I live in a house of six. Me, my Mom, my Dad and three brothers. My brothers names are, Bibleman, Stargazer and Cricket. We each have our own dog. Rosebud, Boondocks, Scarlet, Angel, Cosmo and Krypto. We have two cats (one indoor and one outdoor). Sassafras and Hollywood, Sassafras is sweet and sassy little girl. Hollywood is a loner like guy.

About Bibleman: Bibleman is a funny, caring, sweet boy. His favorite activity is climbing. He literally climbs the walls! He loves cats, and secretly loves dogs. So for his birthday this year our mom and dad got a dog. Angel is his dog, Angel is a Golden Retriever. We call her the devil in disguise. I love my little brother.

 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17

About Stargazer: Stargazer is a very giving person. He sees a flower he is going to pick for our mom. He also love, love, loves dogs! He got his dog for his 7th birthday. His dog's name is Cosmo, Cosmo is a Golden Retriever. He follows Stargazer around like a shadow. I love my little brother.  Go check out his blog: http://stargazer3002.blogspot.com/

Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”  Psalm 126:2


About Cricket: Cricket is a silly, crazy and fun little kiddo. He can brighten the darkest of days. He has the sweetest little smile. He also LOVES dogs. His dog's name is Krypto. Krypto is a Labrador mix. She is as sweet as they get. I love my little brother.

Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.  Psalm 31:4


About My Mom and Dad: My Mom and Dad are truly amazing! My Mom and I collect my little ponies. We also design are own ponies. We have a lot of fun with that.  My Dad and I have so much fun together. He will wrestle with me and my brothers. We have so much fun. Our family has a genuine connection, and we all love each other... Just as Jesus Christ loves us.  Go check my mom's blog: http://unsivilized.blogspot.com/

(Mom's)  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.  Psalm 139:14

(Dads)  but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.  Isaiah 40:31



About Me:  I love to sing, dance and praise the Lord! I love the Lord with all my heart. With my love for the Light of the world (Jesus), and my name being Jewel and all, I love to shine God's Light wherever possible. So, my motto is, I Shine 4 JC! I love dogs, horses and like cats. I love my dog, Rosebud (Who is a Golden Retriever). She is an agility dog and will literally jump the trampoline with me. I love my family! They are the greatest! I couldn't ask for anything better!

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.  1 Peter 3:3-4



 Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:15

Southern Jewel's Shine Time: Gold

Hi, my name is Southern Jewel. I live the South (and have a very southern accent).  I love Jesus with all my heart, soul and  mind! I also love SHINING Jesus! My motto is, I Shine 4 JC.  So,  I love the song Gold by Britt Nicole.  It is all about being yourself and Shining God's light.  It is also about believing in yourself.




This song goes out to everyone; boys, girls, old, young, EVERYONE!  Everyone has a talent, that is your CROWN. So, boys are Princes, girls are Princess, old and young are all Royal.  You are worth a million. You  are worth more than GOLD! You are FABULOUS and SPECTACULAR! Jesus loves you and don't ever forget that!!!


Gold - Britt Nicole




    I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14
    Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:15
    Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. Acts 3:6
