A Quick Little Notice! : )

Hi everyone!

I just realized that I forgot to post my Young Maiden's Daybook for last Monday! I was already considering changing it to once a month because it's too hard for me to get it accomplished every week. So. . . I guess this is my "official" notice saying that from now on I will plan to do them the first Monday of each month. Will that work?!?! :) Hope no one minds the change! I'd like to try posting things more often again, but I can't make any promises! Our family has just been extremely busy the past few months!

So anyway, I hope you all have a blessed evening and Fourth of July weekend! God bless!

Well, I think it's pretty profound that now I look back at last week's Daybook and see that I mentioned praying for Dad's spasms to go away... and now they're not completely gone, but they are not happening very often! Thank you, God! For a few days it had gotten to where he was having them every couple of minutes (which was getting kinda scary, I'll admit) but since yesterday they've been happening only once an hour at the most! Now, I'm praying they will only continue to get better and God will take them away COMPLETELY!! :)

For the rest of this week...
Going w/ Pa-pa for chemo tomorrow, friends also coming to stay the night tomorrow and leaving sometime Wednesday, church, cleaning house and getting Dad's grandmother's old furniture for Mom and Dad's bedroom on Thursday, and a few other "unofficial" things that might happen along the way! We have a busy week ahead of us!

A picture I'd like to share...

This is Lil' Jack (our donkey) in the barn when it was unfinished a couple of years ago. I just think he looks so cute here! He's even got hay in his mouth! :)

I just saw this picture of our barn and thought it looked pretty neat. The formation of the clouds for some reason reminded me of "the clouds be rolled back as a scroll..." from the song "It is Well". I guess it's because of the way the front looks like it's being "rolled back" maybe... I don't know! That's just what popped into my head when I saw it!

One of my favorite things...

Reading good books!

For education this week...

In-depth US History, Physical Science, Bible, Literature, Math, Spanish, ASL

A keeper at home skill I am using/learning...

Cooking, baking, AND BUDGETING! Eek! :)

A spiritual lesson I'm learning...

About the first fruit of the Spirit: love.

A godly character trait I plan to work on...

~LOVE~ Showing and sharing my love for the Lord and others around me!

Scripture I am memorizing...

My Mom and I are memorizing Galatians. So far I've got: "Paul an apostle--sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead--and all the brothers with me, to the churches in Galatia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age..." Yea! I did it! That's verses 1-4a of the first chapter. (We've got quite a ways to go!)

I am praying for...

Many different things. I can never list them all! For myself, though, I am praying that God would teach me to love as Christ loved us and that He would fill me with that love! <3

For the rest of this week...

School and church

A picture I'd like to share...

This is actually a picture taken by a couple from our church when they visited Israel last year. These flowers are just beautiful!
