Catch Up Time pt.2

Hello Again! There was alot more stuff that has happened in the last couple weeks but the most exciting was the start of our Bible Studies. Last year about this same time, the youth group of our church started a Bible study every other Sunday. After a couple months they kinda dwindled, but a couple weeks ago some of us were talking and decided to try it one more time. Yesterday was our first one. It was held at Priscilla and Vickys house, but Nathan actually taught. The study was called, Holiness: The Road To Victory. It was very stirring, and was a great encouragement to keep holding on to the only one who can keep us on the right path in this crazy world. After I get some of the notes I will post more about it. After we finished the Bible study we had a time of prayer and then Nathan, Priscilla, and I played the piano and sang some. Please keep the youth group in your prayers. The devil is fighting very hard to get us to stumble, but I know that through the name of Jesus we have overcoming victory. My heart has been full these last few days, with praise to Jesus. To stop and think about the fact that He loves me even though I am nothing and He is EVERYTHING! It is truly an amazing thought! I had to write a devotional poem for English, and as I sat there trying to think how to start, the Lord came so close and the thoughts just started pouring in. It was so AWESOME! I'd like to share it with you. As you read it think about Jesus, who is WORTHY to be PRAISED!


Be still my soul! Listen!
What is that I hear
Is it the voice of Satan drawing near
Has he come to do me wrong
to try to steal my joy and song
Oh no, it is a gentle voice
Saying,"Child, I am pleased! Rejoice!
You have fought the fight
To My hand you've held on tight
You've proved that you'll be true
In all the trials you've been through"
Ah, my soul, do not fear
This voice belongs to my Friend, so dear
Precious Jesus, all to thee
My praise and adoration be
You, my Saviour, rescued me
Out of all sins misery
Through each battle you've been there
holding me, helping me, showing me you care
Oh dear Jesus, Only You
Have kept me pure and true
I bow before thee and adore
You, Sweet Jesus, who'll lead me to Glory's shore

Isn't the Lord precious to you? He's so much more than I ever thought He would be. Jesus is a true friend, He's a Dayspring to the parched soul, He's our rock in the storms of life, Christ is THE answer to every problem that we are faced with. What a comfort to know that He already knows everything that we are going to be faced with, and already has sufficient grace in store for us.

I must close for tonight but before I do, I ask that all of you will pray for my friend, Bethany Covert, her Grand-ma has just been diagnosed with heart, lung, and bone cancer and doesn't have much longer to live. Please keep the whole family in your prayers.

Keep Smilin' and don't forget to Vote for McCain/Palin on November 4th!

Catch Up Time...

1. Test.

English IV, test 2 and 3. On t.2. I made a 98% and on t.3. which I took on Tuesday I made a 100% YEAH!!! One Home Ec test on which I made a 98%. Know what I missed? I said that pasta should be slightly tough when it is done! I NEVER want to eat my own pasta if it is tough after it has been cooked. My true brilliance was shining that day! LOL! Hello! How are all of you? I am doing pretty good. I have had a very FULL couple of weeks.

My mom's computer is still not working, and the one I am using now is slower than a 90 year old turtle. No lie! :-) Here is a brief look at what my life has consisted of in the last few weeks.





2. Party Time

Our Harvest Party for school was October the 17th at 6:00 p.m. . There was quite a group of us there. My parents were there. My dad came home from ocala and surprised me by picking me up from work on friday when I got off around 5:00 p.m. It was a terriffic surprise! Uncle Brian, Aunt Kathy, Luke and Emily, Uncle Ted, Aunt Charlotte, Kayla and Jenny, Pap-pa and Mam-ma, Nathan and his parents, Jeff and Grace, Priscilla and Victoria made up the rest of the group. We started out bobbing for apples. Vicky was the only one of us older ones' that got one. Next we had a donut eating contest! Donuts were tied onto strings and then hung across an opening. Five people lined and tried to eat at least half of the donut before it fell without using their hands. It is much harder than you think!! Lots of laughter accompanied that game, as you can imagine! After that we went on a hayride. Uncle Brian pulled the wagon with his tractor. It was so much fun! We met up with about 8 kids and 4 of them came over to the church later. It was awesome to be able to be a witness for Jesus to kids who have never heard the Gospel!

I'm still here!

Just wanted to drop a line to tell you all that I'll be back to blogging soon. My mom's computer is down so we are trying to get that fixed. Hopefully by Wednesday I'll be able to blog again! Until then, keep smilin'!
