Hey!

Hello all! I have had an interesting ending to the month of October including a cold and a skunk under the back step! Fortunately, he is gone now, but my cold persists. What's going on in your life?? Let me know! =)

Devotions II

(continued from last post) So Naaman gets all upset and says, "I thought that big prophet Elisha was gonna come out, meet me face to face, call on the name of the Lord God of Israel, and BOOM! I would be healed! But nooooo, I gotta go and dip in that yucky Jordan seven times! What's the big difference between the Jordan- all yucky and nasty- and the Abana and Pharpar rivers? What is he THINKING?!?" and stomps away. Well, to make a long story short, Naaman eventually does what Elisha tells him, and he is healed! All because of the good, kind, and respectful spirit of a teenage girl. That story alone makes me want to be like her!
        I hope you all enjoyed my fun little story. The whole story is found in II Kings 5:2-14. Have a great day, everyone!!

Devotions

Today in my devotions I read about a young girl who God used in a miraculous way. I Kings 5: 2-14. She was a capitve and servant of the household of Naaman, who was this really powerful guy that just happened to like taking over countries and small cities. She "just happened" to be the victim of his likings. So one day, Naaman wakes up and realizes he has this uncurable disease called leprosy, and he is really concerned about it. So this young girl (whom scholars say must have been around 12 or 13) speaks up to this really powerful guy and kindly tells him to go to the prohet Elisha in Israel. If I were Naaman, I would probably turn up my nose and say, "You're just the little maid. I'll go to the doc for a prescription, but thanks anyway." Instead, Naaman takes her advice and goes to Elisha. When he gets there, however, Elisha won't even come out to see him! He sends his servant out to tell Naaman to dip in the Jordan seven times. How will THAT work? (to be continued)

It's a new week!!

Hey y'all!! It is a new week and I am so excited!! New weeks are clean and fresh with no mistakes in them. Also,  it is the first full week of fall! My next post should have some pics of fall or flowers. Daily verse for today: Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, think about these things.
-Phil. 4:8 (NIV) Have an awesome day! =)

Fall!

It is now fall and I am so excited! The leaves are turning colors, and the weather is nice and cool. School has started up again, and I am now in eighth grade! I hope you all enjoy the new decor I put on here! Have a great day, everyone!!

An Update on My Life

Hello to all of my readers and I hope you are having a good week! School has started up for me again... I am now in eighth grade! Wow! I never thought I would get here, but time sure flies!! Have any of you started school yet? (Except for the adults =]) Let me know how your week goes!

God Has a Positive Answer

God determines who walks into your life... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. Tomorrow is not promised, so we should make the most of every moment and every day. Make it a wonderful day!!

Prayer for your friends~
Father God, bless my friends in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! May their lives be full of your peace, prosperity, and joy no matter what they have to face as their relationship with you grows. Amen.
