Tweet A New January Holiday(EC) January 29, 2004 is National Set-Someone-Up-On-A- Blind-Date-Day. I don’t really have any substantial reasoning behind it, other then the fact that I have always wanted to go on one. I honestly don’t know why, but it is one of those things. So it is becoming a new holiday! I think our English teachers are reaching into the creative aspects of their minds, and it is stretching mine. So now, I have to write 50 some more words on why this should be a new holiday. Maybe I’ll try my hand at being match-maker-although I don’t know who I would I set up. Most of my…

I Can Still Hear
Tweet I Can Still Hear.. Wow, this one took a bit more thinking…but I think I have some up with something. I can still hear those glorious words-you don’t have to tuck your shirts in. I know, for most people that seems like a relatively small thing and probably is not even an issue. But when you go to a Christian school with a dress code..those words are treasures. Ever since I have come in 7th grade..it has been a never-ending switch-you have to tuck your shirts in, you don’t have to tuck your shirts in. It makes buying clothes difficult at times. For the most part I don’t mind…

What I have learned in Chapel This week?
Tweet What I have learned in Chapel This week? My word..how do I begin! I have learned so much it’s crazy! God has convicted and challenged me with every single message. His take on the story of the Prodigal son was very challenging. Although I don’t fit into the prodigal son category, I, more often then I care to admit, fit into the category of the other brother. God has been teaching me a lot lately about forgivness and being willing to admit my wrongs. He has also showed how much I need to have a teachable, willing spirit. I have had some rough times lately, and I realized this…

What I am going to give of myself this Christmas(english)?
Tweet I just had a nice long post typed out, but I had put it on my other blog..oops, and lost it when I was trying to switch back. Anyways, I am going to give of my time and I am going to give it to God and my family. I am going to work at spending a considerable amount of time with God each day. These past few weeks have been busy and my devotions have been shorted, but I am going to work hard to having some meaningful time with God over break. I am also going to work at serving my family. I am going to work…

My Greatest Fear
Tweet My Greatest Fear Well, I have already written about my biggest fear, but I suppose there could be a slight difference between biggest and greatest..let me know if you come up with one! Anyways, right now I think my greatest fear is something happening to one of my parents. I honestly can not imagine life without one or both of them. My mom is the ever-caring, emtional, always happy, and always ready to give up anything for me. My dad is the balancer, the shoulder to cry on, the protector of his baby girl, and the one I can always count on to take me to the movies. I…

How I show I’m thankful..(English)
Tweet How I show I’m thankful..(English) Mrs. Wiebe had as our blog topic for the week how do you show your thankful. It really got me thinking, do I show that I’m thankful. I mean, yeah at this time of year I can list off the many things I’m thankful for..the common expected answers-school, church, family, friends..but do I actually show I am thankful. And how could I show that. I kept thinking about that, and some convicting thoughts came across my mind. Do I show my teachers I am thankful for them when I keep talking in class after being told not to, or when I don’t turn in…

If I Could Go Anywhere in the World(English Extra Credit)
Tweet If I Could Go Anywhere in the World(English Extra Credit) Well, right now I’d just be happy to go anywhere, but my dream has always been to go to the Congo. It’s in Africa, and our church supports missionaries there. The Curtis’ have a special place in my heart because they first invited my parents to attend Faith. And part of the reason I am where I am is because of them! But I’ve always been fascinated with the Congo. Maybe it’s because it’s one of those places that Americans are not usually well-liked, or because I see how bad those people need the gospel. Or maybe it’s just…

The Greatest Lesson I’ve Learned So Far This Year
Tweet Wow..The greatest lesson is a tough one because I’ve learned so many lessons! Spiritual ones and other ones..like the law of gravity..learned that one a bunch of times:)! I think I would have to say the greatest lesson I’ve learned so far is a spiritual one. God has shown me over and over how many people are watching me and how my actions can affect more people then I think. Several people that I respected and looked up to made some big mistakes, and although they probably don’t even realize it, they impacted me in big ways. It’s made me realized that I need to be careful about what…

What freedom is most important to me? ( I think this was our English blog topic)
Tweet I think I would have to say the freedom of religion because it has impacted my life the most. The school I attend, the church I am a member at, and the daily time I spend with God would not be realities if we were not guaranteed this freedom. I thought of the war in Iraq..and the oppression those people lived under, and Paul and the disciples-they underwent a ton of persecution for their beliefs. The worst I’ve ever had to deal with is being made fun of…and that pales in comparasion to what other believers must endure for the cause of Christ. I am thankful I don’t have…

My Favorite Season
Tweet Hum..I don’t have one favorite season, I like the end of spring, summer, and the begining of fall. I love the beginning of fall because it’s so pretty. I love when the leaves change, and the days are still warm. I love raking leaves and jumping in the piles. I love carmel apples, and wearing sweaters, yet still being able to wear shorts. I love the smell of bonfires, and soccer, and school starting. I hate cold weather, which is why I skipped the end of fall, winter, and the begining of spring. I love the end of spring, because most of the rain is gone, and the weather…
