Known By Him

Thomas Jefferson was our third president (1801-1809)! We have a lot to thank him for, during his presidency he made the Louisiana Purchase, and had the Louis and Clark expodition. 

He was also the man who wrote the Decleration of Independence in 1776. 

This week in my writting work I cam across a quote by Thomas Jefferson that I like.

"No (style) of writting is so delightful as that which is all pith, which never omits a necesarry word, nor uses an unnecessary one."

This is always something I have strugled with, because I preffer to do my compleat writting assignment in fifteen minutes, and call it a day. I write good papers this way, but by taking the lazy way out I do not write a great paper. I cause my readers to suffer, and do not show them all my talent (if that is what you want to call it).

MY GOALS FOR TODAY

1) Get my school work done diligently and quickly

2) Remember that in everything I do say and think I am to worship the Lord

3) Be a joy to have around. (I only want to be a blessing never a fly)

4) Be a good and godly example to my yonger sisters

5) Call Ashley!

I am excited to begin this day.

For it is a blessing in every way.

Let my heart rejoice.

I will sing only praise with my voice

The Holy Spirt will keep me firm

For I do not want to be a worm

(okay maybe worm is not the best word, but that is all that came to mind)

Have a blessed day

Today I was able to go with Nathan and his family to his uncle and auints house for lunch. Once a month their family gets together for dinner. We had a good time, and mainly talked about how his older sister was going into the hospital to be enduced tomorrow night. We then proceeded to go spend the rest of the afternoon at his house. Of corse we had a good time just sitting there talking about everything under the sun.

Tomorrow we beging our second week of school! I am very glad that God has given my mother the drive to teach us at home. She really shows me what a Proverbs 31 woman is. I only pray that one day I can too be a Proverbs 31 woman like her.

I hope you all had wonderful Sundays.

I have a feeling people just don't check my blog any more, because I don't write that offten! I am going to work on that!

We started school on Monday, it is a rather bitter sweet year for me. I am kind of sad when I think about how next year I will not be doing any school at home. I can honestly say I am not that excited to be done. It will be very neat though, because I will be able to help my mom a lot more. Doing lesson plans, and teaching the little girls. I want to be my mothers right hand, have things done that she would have never even thought about. (wish me luck with this because my mother is beyond amazing)

I was so glad to come home, but the most exciting part was seeing Nathan. (Sadly he is on Vk with his family this week) He came over and brought me beautiful roses! We went to dinner and then hung out at his house. His older sister is expecting a little girl any day. She is really excited. His other sister just went off to her second year of collage.

Home is where I long to be, there is no other place on earth that makes me so happy.

(They finnished the ship made from the world trade center! Her logo is "Never Forget" sadly I think they will, as they slip away from God history is rewritten every day)

Hi everyone!

I know it has been a while! (again) Right now I am in Navada. We are leaving on the 13 to go meet my family. I am so excited, because I miss my darling sisters more than I can explain. I can't wait to get home and see Nathan.

I have had a good time with my grandparents (as I do love to be spoiled) They have taken me to some pretty cool places. I went to a car show called Hot August Nights! I have a new found love for old cars! They were very cool. We also went to Vergina City, we took a ride on an old steam engian train and I fell in love with the view. I think that seeing the mountians in that way gave me that joy you feel when you just want to jump up and thank the Lord. He was so good to give us so many good things to look at when creating the world.

My grandpa has also taken the time to show me my family tree. This summer I have learned a lot about my family's history. My Auint Sylvia shared a lot of wonderful stories with me, and I can't wait to get home and tell them to you. I am sure you will be just as happy to see God's hand in delivering so many people as I was am.

I have ton's of pictures to show everyone when I get home, but I forgot my cord!

Okay I know it has been a really long time since I have posted a new entry. I did type one up a while ago, but it was deleted! There is nothing more aggravating than writing a long entry and having it disappear.

When I got here, I was surprised to see my friend Jenny! She lives in Germany and I only get to see her once or twice a year. We were walking through Wal-Mart when I saw her. You know when you see someone who you think there is no way of seeing for a long time! I looked at her and was not sure if it was her or my imagination. When I looked again I knew it was her. Needless to say there was quite a bit of squealing in Wal-Mart.

She only stayed for two weeks, because she had to get back and get an apartment. We had a good time!

I am still in California for a week, then I am going to Nevada. I will not get home for another few weeks, but I am dieing to see my family.

I want to end this post in a way that I hope to get lots of commits!!!! I think that is the best part of bloging, reading what people think.

So tell me what the funniest moment was on a vacation you took.

Little Woman

Wow, this week has just flown by! I leave the house tomorrow at 5:30 a.m. My flight takes off at 6:45 I am so thankful that the air port we are able to go to is SMALL...Any ways I am going to need your prayers! I just want to be a good bright light for Christ. I want everything I do to be a positive reflection of his holy love. He is so great and I am so small yet he chooses me! I know this should be my look on the situation always! Pleas pray that I will be a good and faithful servant.

Some wonderful things that happened this week! Praise the Lord I finished my Spanish! I also went to the Dr. Yesterday for my back. They measured it and my scoliosis has stayed the same...They want to see me again in six months. Wow I have had more x-ray's this month than is probably good for me. I wonder if getting x-rays is bad for you~

I absolutely LOVE the church God has put us into! The people are SOOOO wonderful. Saying good buy to them tonight was really hard. Epically Nathan . They were all so wonderful and prayed for my trip. Paster said that I would be flying on wings of prayer. It is funny how it works we pray that God will guide our paths, yet at the same time we are secretly making our own paths!

I hope to blog while gone

But my favorite Bible verse is

Revelations 22:21

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen

It is the last verse in the bible and the most rewarding! For God's grace will be with us!!!! WOW who deserves such a blessing!

I am getting ready to go on my summer trip.

I am going to California in three days! From CA I fly to Navada. From there I am driving with my grandparents to Massachusetts. My parents will meet me there with my sisters and we will all drive home together.

I know God is in controll but I must admit that I don't really want to go. I am going to miss my dear family, but I know that I shall see them again.

I put a new game on my Blog!!! What do you think of it? I hope to do a real entry soon. (before I leave)

Little Woman

My darling sister has found something she just loves! A band called PureNRG. If you have gone to her site you will see that her last 4 entries were about this band.  When I tagged her she said if she had a billon dollars she would give to the poor and go to a PureNRG concert. At least this band is not bad. If it was another High School Musical thing I am sure I would die!

Any way if you have already read my sister's blog, and if she has put this on there already then don't watch it. I like this song, it is pretty cute.

They really do have a lot of energy!
