Sorry Kriss... I have been TRYING... I realized just today that I hadn't posted for a couple days. =0) Forgive me. lolI am just sitting here with Jenny, Michelle's sister. =) Church was good this morning. It was about Life and Godliness. It really opened my eyes to some things. My Uncle Mike brought the message. I wish I could post the whole message on here... but it would take too long. =0)Well... I had to post right quick, but Jen is waiting to do something with me, and I feel bad. I hope you all had a great Sunday morning... and have a great night.
I'm missing you all already. =0( Praying always,
EmilyP.S. Thank you for taking me snowboarding!!! That was so much fun... I am SOOO sore. lol
I read this thing from Charles Spurgeon today, and I can't remember exactly what it said, but it said something like... oh forget it, hold on. Okay, I'm back... with the book. It says, "If we live, Jesus is will be with us; if we die, we shall be with Jesus." I read that and thought it was the coolest thing ever. The whole thing was about living for Jesus and not being afraid to die for him either. The ending paragraph says, "The truest lengthening of life is to live while we live, wasting no time, but using every hour for the highest ends. So be it this day." The ending sentence was what really got me. I have a tendency to read things and think about them for the next 10 minutes to and hour or 2 max, but it said simply and plainly "So be it this day". Just do it... in our words today. =0) Anyways I thought that was pretty cool, thought I would share it.
"The fear of the Lord prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened." ~Proverbs 10:27
This morning, I went to babysit for Mrs. Smith. Ansley and MaKenna are getting so big. I was over at their house for the morning. Once I got back I actually felt like doing my chores... I would have done them anyways, but not dreading it always helps. =) Life seems to be going by so quickly. Today it was so warm and sunny. Summer is really coming. I always look forward to summer... but I am not sure if I want things to get any more busy than they already are. School is getting done... but once I get done with it, along with chores, and helping with dinner, and going to town almost every other day, it seems like I don't have anytime anymore. God has definetly been giving me strength, and peace throughout the last couple of weeks.
A couple days ago, my mom and I turned in the paperwork for Hutch. I am hoping to take some nursing classes there this next year. What is so cool about them, is that they will count for my high school credits as well as my college credits. I am excited. I really have a peace about this. My parents are very happy with the idea, and are pushing me to do all that I can to make this work. I have a really good letter of recommendation from La Nae Bellamy. She works at the hospital and we get along really well. She is a really sweet lady. Her letter was above and way beyond what I was expecting. That should help a great deal. I have a slimmer chance of getting into the school, because I will just be going for particular classes, and not full time. But I also know a few people that work there, and they will help with getting me into the school. If it works out, I know God was in it, and if it doesn't it was His will. I am not at all worried.
I wrote this whole other paragraph... but then I decided it sounded way to depressing... and I didn't even mean for it too! So I just backspaced it all and am writing another one... or ending today's writing... umm... can someone tell me how to delete comments?? I don't know who that person is that wrote on my last post... and half the time I was reading, I couldn't understand what he was saying... for further notice... if I don't know you... then there's probably a reason. So don't comment. Thank you.
AlWaYs,
Emily
Well... I am alive and living... (Rebeka) lol... Kriss is sitting here with me in her house that smells like Pumpkin... mmm... Krista, say hi... "HHHIII!!!!!" Okay... now that thats done. Well, Happy Valentines! Things have been good, just really busy. Okay I am making a promise to TRY to post everyday. Kriss says to loose the "try" but I don't want to break my promise. =0)
Emily had to leave so I'm finishing this up for her...... I'm hopeing i'll motivate her to post more often.... oh and if your wondering why the house smells like pumkin it's because Aimee and deanna were making pumkin bread!! =o) And just so you all know Emily has promised to be my Valentine so don't even think about stealing her!!! HEHEHEE!!! =o) Have a good night Emily!!!
I was really bummed... I was trying to put some pictures on here of the Learning Center... but it wasn't working for some reason... I tried it a couple times, and I think it's just because my computer is too slow or something. =( I need to get Mom to get the high speed Internet from IDEA. Things have been pretty good lately. I guess it all depends on how you look at it. Last year I remember that I was complaining because I said it didn't really feel like Christmas. I wish I could just go back and smack myself... seriously. I had nothing to complain about, I had so many blessings. Friends, and family... people who were really close to me. I guess it's hard to explain all of what I had last year, that I don't have this year... but I know one thing for sure. I am not going to complain. I have blessings everyday, that I am realizing that I take for granted all the time. I seem to always look at what going wrong and try to fix it, by the end of it I am worn out, tired and emotional. Because it's usually not in my hands to change. If I have learned anything over the last two weeks, it's been... Life changes. You can't stop that. I might hate it, and cry about it, and wish with all my heart that things would go back to the way the were. It won't change anything. It doesn't help anyone. It makes the people around you feel bad for you, instead of you encouraging them and lifting them up. I am just starting to see how self-centered I have been. I would look at others, and see their selfishness... but why is it you can never see your own? Selfishness always starts with me simply skipping reading my bible... and little things like that. Then all the little things add up and you end up being so unhappy because you aren't doing what you as a Christian should be doing... Okay that's my serious thinking for the day. lol
Well, Kyle's little sister Sierra, is up here for Christmas... we have been having a blast. I love that little girl, she is so awesome. We stayed up last night until 3ish just talking, and goofing off, watching movies, and all sorts of random things. It was a blast. She is my little darling... and always will be. She is always making me want to do better, because I realize I am an example to her. What I do, what I say, and how I act effect her. Actually, I have been realizing that I have effected other people and haven't even known that I had... Thankfully in a good way... but it just makes you think. It's really scary actually some times.As for Christmas shopping... I am so behind... I am still making a few gifts, and I still need to get a few things for immediate family. I try not to get all stressed out about it though, because it will ruin Christmas for you if you do.Well, people... I haven't been posting lately, so I know I am no one to talk... but you all have got to start posting!! I miss reading about you all. =0) Even if it's just a little "I had a good day" Come on now... I know you all can do better!! lolAlrighty, I LoOoOoOoOve you all!Have the greatest, happiest, fantabulousiest, fatastictist, terrificest, wonderfuliest, supercalifrajilisticexpealadociousist day EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol :P (I did that with the help of Sissy =)~Emily =0)
1. I'm thankful for the God of the universe... coming do to earth, dying on the cross, and saving me from everlasting death. I'm thankful for the Lord, that has been with me through everything. The God who has given me wisdom, love, and a whole lot of undeserved mercy.
2. I am thankful for my brother, Brian... my Grandma... my parents and family. The have affected my life in more ways than they will ever know... I love them.
3. I'm especially thankful for my really close friends, who have been there for me through really good times and times when it's really hard. Lanae'. Tori. Kassandra. Kyle. (that's not in any kind of order! =) I love you guys...
4. I am thankful for good times... times when you wish that those moments would last forever... but you know that they will have to end. I'm thankful for those moments... when you know exactly what another person is thinking... and you just give a person a look... and you know that they understand without saying word. I'm thankful for those moments that you are laughing so hard your stomach hurts... and the moments that you remember the next week, and it keeps you smiling all day.
5. I am thankful for all the times that I was falling apart and someone just took me in their arms ans held me until I stopped crying. No matter how long it took.
6. I am thankful for all my friends... the ones I'm just starting to get close to, the ones that I've known from a distance, the ones that always seem to cheer me up, give me advice, and tell it to me straight.
7. I am thankful for creation... the beautiful snowy mountains, hot summer days, rain, fields, clouds... 8. I'm very thankful for all the little kids at the learning center... especially A.J., and Reagen. That little girl, and that silly boy... they could be my own kids... =) 9. I'm thankful for snowboarding... sports. =) 10. I'm thankful for babies... 11. I'm thankful for prayer... the prayers that God has closed the door on... and I'm thankful for the ones I'm still waiting on. 12. I'm thankful for God's awesome timing.
This morning everyone is feeling rather lazy and hasn't gotten up yet. =) We has a little bit of a late night. You know what??? ITS REALLY COLD OUT SIDE!!!!! I'm starting to really want to be inside at all times. lol :) Hot cocoa has become my new best friend... with a little coffee of course. In fact that sounds real good right now... Okay, I'm back. =) With a really good cup of hot chocolate. =) I'm really excited about Christmas... I have already got things pick out for people. I usually am not really ready for the Holidays... but this year... I am definitely ready. I'm really excited about Thanksgiving... it's about the only time of the year I would ever even consider being happy about making 10 pies. lol I am going to be really busy the next few days. A few of us will go up to my Grandmas and help her with the cooking and cleaning and getting ready for it, and a few of us will stay here and help my mom with cooking. It's I guess a tradition for my mom to always bring the rolls and most all of the pies. She wants me to help her... I think as long as Jenni's and maybe Deanna is up at Grandma's we'll be okay. Oh... and that's the other thing... Deanna is sick... she threw up about 4 times yesterday. It was nasty... I had to clean it all up... yuck. It was gross... Brian went moping around the whole day saying something like he has a couple really good meals to go to, and he would be really mad if he got sick and had to throw it all up. I was just laughing at him... I didn't even really think about it. That would be a bummer though. It was hilarious though... it's so funny what Brian will do just to not get sick.
Today Deanna has violin and we are to help clean Mrs.. Crawford's house with my Aunt Cindy. Mrs.. Crawford just had something done to her leg or foot... I don't exactly know what it was, but she can't get around to well. She has to get the other other done as well. After that I'm going to see if mom will take me to Barnes and Nobles while Deanna is having her lesson. I love that store...
Okay... I'm going to need you all to tell me what you want for Christmas... I mean it... k? lol Or else... you are going to get some random doohickey... lol I am not a very good guesser of what people want. So you all have to let me know... =) Give a christmas list... =)
Have an absolutely lovely day...
Emily
Life is crazy... and really busy... and sometimes fun... yep. That's what I have learned this week. Marvelous, right? lolI am trying to post more... but I hardly seem to have time and when I do post, it's hard to think about what all has happened lately... Well... just my luck... parents are being thoughful again. They know I need my sleep, and are so worried, that they make sure... that I get it. I have wonderful parents... really... lol just kidding. My parents love me... and they love it when I am alive in the morning also. Okay, okay.
