Do you value time?

What would you do today if you knew you would die tomorrow? Or if you knew someone you loved was going to die tomorrow? What if you were told you had a week to live? A month? A year?

But we don’t know. We could die in an hour, we could die tomorrow. Someone we love could die. Are you at odds with someone? How long has it been since you said “I Love You” to someone you love? When was the last time you had a heart to heart talk with your friend?

Life is precious and time is priceless. Spend your time wisely! Don’t wait to make things right with someone! Don’t wait to say “I Love You”! Don’t wait to talk to someone! Do it today!

James 4:14-15

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.  For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

 

Proverbs 27:1

 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

 

1 Peter 1:24

 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

Life...

This morning, I completed my last first week of highschool!!!! I am excited about this and as we look at the schedule of what is going on this year(like when first semester ends etc...) the road does not seem as long and scary. 5 lessons down and 80 to go till Christmas break and 85 lessons after that so we are 1/34th of the way done! The first week was not too bad except for English... We have my favorite teacher again this year. My schedule is as follows:

7:00-English (taught by Mr. Calbart)
7:30-Violin
8:00-Genesis:First things(Dr. Denis McBride, AWESOME teacher!)
9:00-Plane Geometry(Mr. Collins)
10:00- American Government(Again, Dr. Denis McBride)
11:00-Physics(Dr. Troy Shoemaker)
12:00-Lunch
12:30-P.E.
1:00-Personal Devotions
1:30-Spanish 3
2:30-Homework time

I was a bit overwhelmed when i found out I was taking Physics, Geometry, and Spanish 3 but it doesnt seem so terrible awfull. =)

Tomorrow is an exciting day for me because our church has a float in a parade and a fellowship afterwards-YIPPEEEEEEE!!!!! =D

In memory of my yellow culottes:

In memory of my yellow culottes whose life as everyday culottes has ended abruptly. They lived a noble life and served their purpose well. They had a bright and sunny disposition and were a perfect fit. They have ended their everyday life and are now into the next life of service as work clothes. 

They have endured many miles of bikeriding, hours canoeing, many volleyball games at gym, many base-hide-and-go-seek games, and a lot of running around. The picture does not do the life-scars justice.

WAIT

Recently, Through someone, God has impressed one word upon me...

Wait...

I may not fully understand what I am waiting for but I need patience, strength, and courage to rely totally on Him for His perfect will and timing. Are we willing to wait for His Perfect will and timing? not just His will, but His PERFECT will and PERFECT timing! Not ours, HIS!!!

Psalms 27:14 

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Isaiah 40:31 

 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Psalms 37:7 

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.



News, news, news!

Greetings from Shipshewanna, Indiana. Amish country!

We got here around dinner time and got all settled in as much as possible minus lifes comforts... We are using our new tent for the first time and this one is a lot bigger and should be more comfortable for all 6 of us. =) I am very content to be the only one of us not using an air matress(why do people get surprised when i tell them i sleep better on the floor or ground than in my bed???) but sleeping on top of a sleeping bag. Already today I have been rollerblading, Swimming, and biking. And I have started accumulating my "vacation injuries"... I have a few scratches and a bruise. Tomorrow, we plan to LORDwilling go to the flea market and some stores in town including my favorite one-A big candy store! =D I will have to keep my eyes open because my little 'sister' announced that she would be mad at me if i did not bring her something back... =) That same little sister lent me one of my sources of amusement on the car ride here...

My other 'siblings' seem to find all the good books befare me then i am stuck last in line waiting for them all to finish first! =I

I also kept amused by eating these thingies... =) Every time I eat them i always laugh because of invert sugar... Maybe someday i will have time to explain... Its an inside joke.

That is all for now... hopefully I can keep updating! =)
