You are a very kind person, is this better?
Just being honest. However, I think I made a mistake. This looked like a juniper 'bonsai' that you purchased at a mall, but now I see you created it yourself?
Seems your idea of bonsai is based on that of a mallsai - which essentially is a low quality, cheap plant, often with decorative stones and moss.
Anyway, if you did create this yourself, Good! Do not let my comments discourage you.

I actually bought this from lowes when we went up there to get a washer
As others mentioned, remove the moss and make sure sure you have good draining soil. evergreens like junipers dont like to stay wet and moss just holds moisture. pick up a liquid fertilizer and fertilize every 2 weeks during the growing season and once a month in winter. Nothing too strong, just a moderate fertilizer, 5-5-5, or 10-10-10. Some people plant their evergreen in the ground during winter, but you dont have to, just a preference. keep outside year round, but if you live where it gets real cold, shield it from wind and deep freeze.

Now this is what I was asking for, thanks @Billymsu77

The moss should be removed as it is decorative moss without any purpose other than making it look more fancy.

Ah, so it is a mallsai.
Either this or no bonsai at all... and I already know what you're gonna say, "you just shouldn't of ever bought a bonsai then because you're a stupid noob at caring for bonsai, that tree deserves to be put out of its misery by burning it" I could see you saying something like this auk
