Bibles

Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Proverbs 30:5-6
5. Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

I just want to quickly say that if you look at your Bible (that is not a KJV) there is something that has been changed, taken out, or put in.

Example: Matthew 18:11
For the son of man is come to save that which was lost.

This verse is not in the NIV, RSV,ERV, and 23 other Bibles.

TaeKwonDo Research project.

Okay, I just noticed that I haven't been on in forever, so, yes I am still alive, just very busy. so I thought I would tell you what I am doing that is keeping  me so very busy, and away from this blog.

 Senior Project!!!! :( 


My subject is Tae Kwon Do. :D:D:D My having personal experience with this subject is making it very easy. It just takes a lot of time. I am having fun learning about where it came from, what it can do, and how it effects so many things. :) I am loving it.

It will take most of this semester and then I will have to make a presentation on it. We are supposed to wear business for it, but I talked to my teacher today and I am allowed to wear my Tae Kwon Do uniform with my BLACK belt and all. :D:D:D:D I just have a few more questions I need to ask to make it the presentation I want it to be. I don't like the presentation part, but if I am going to do it I am going to make it so it puts shame to fights they have seen at school. :D (if I'm allowed)

My New School Year.

So what's going on with me?

Well, I have started my senior year in high school. :D The bad news that goes along with that is that the very first day they handed me my senior research project packet. :( The good news that goes with that is I have already picked my topic. :D The bad news that goes with that is I can do almost nothing until everyone else is caught up. The good news after that is that when I do actually start getting into it I have a lab aid class right after it that will allow me to spend almost a hour and a half on it. This way it will be fresh in my brain. :D The next problem with this is that I end each of my classes with a very bad head ache.  :( In November I will be finished with my senior project. :D Then I hope to apply for a job(s). I am excited for the end of this semester because I will be done with high school for good. :D:D:D 

All my classes are good, just in case you wanted to know. The teachers are nice and things are looking like it will be a good semester. I am taking choir, English, Zoology, Clay Wheel, Government, and Mythology. I have already improved in clay. It looks like this time around may be easier for me. :) I only got stuck in Mythology. It was not my choice. The class is weird and makes no sense. Some movies might make more sense when all said and done though. oh well. It will all be good. :D 

It seems like God may be directing me to Cowley Community College this spring semester. Please pray for His provision!!!

God has provided so much, and in so many ways during this school year! Thank you for your prayers! It means a lot!

Testimony from Camp

Last year at camp, I didn't have fun. I didn't get much out of the sermons. I only liked the trail riding. It made me not want to go any more. I became determined to no longer go. 


I found out this last spring that my parents were going to make me go again. I wasn't happy and tried to find reasons not to go and ways to talk them out of it. They made me go. 


Well, this year at camp was the best year I have had. :D I wasn't getting much out of the sermons until Thursday night. Pastor Kip started talking about the hypocrites inside the church. At the end of the service he had us stand and sing Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone). When we got to "my chains are gone. I've been set free" I couldn't sing any more. I didn't know why. I thought maybe I wasn't saved, but I was sure I had been already. I started thinking through it. So I made sure that night. When I confirmed that I was already saved I searched for unconfessed sin in my life. I found that I was angry and bitter towards my mom for forcing me to go to public school this last year.


I confessed my sin and I had the peace that Paul talk about in Philippians 4:7. Peace that passes all understanding. It was incredible!!! The rest of the week was amazing. I enjoyed it. I wasn't scared and I felt like I was safe. (Of course I was, I just felt unsure that something was going to happen. I guess it did.) 


We arrived home and my dog was extremely excited!! (I just thought you would like to know that she loves me best!! :P) When we got home, I made things right with my mom.  Since then I have already experienced changes in my daily walk with Christ. Today, for example, I finished my devotions and felt the Joy that Pastor Kip was talking about at camp and "Pastor" at church. 


I want to encourage you all. If you don't know Christ already, PLEASE contact someone and ask. If you do...search His word, ask Him to work in your life, look for opportunities, and meditate. If you need prayer I would love to pray for you, if you will just tell me. <3

Finding Inspiration

     My inspiration often comes from my brothers and sisters, or sometimes random things I see. :D The different things that could require inspiration could be an on going never ending list. And for each one of them one of my siblings could help the design, create, change, or help anything in any way. If I don't get all my ideas from them something random that probably can't be traced back to it was the origin. My brothers and sisters are the best inspiration, and the next are the random things I see or hear.

     My brothers can come up with some crazy and fun stuff. One will say something and another will come back with something we all think is from a movie, but it's not. They are so smart and creative. The comebacks and responses to odd things they come up with are just amazing. Each one of them are so different, but the things they come up with can work so well together. A few days...weeks...months ago my little brother said something back to my big brother and no one knew what to say. We all wanted to know what movie he heard the line on. Then he told us that he didn't hear it on a movie. It was an original. And my older brother does some very cool stuff with computers and my mom told me he has some very well done cartoons hidden somewhere. Then my younger brother is so sweet. He thinks of you in such touching ways. He does a lot of stuff with wood. He made me a shelf once. :) All of them are uniquely creative and good hearted.

     My sisters effect me in different ways. The older sisters are roll models and examples. Examples both of what to do and what not to do. The younger, little, and baby sisters have different impacts as well. The younger sister spends more time talking and I have grown to respect her opinion on things. The little sister talks so much I know she will answer if I ask, and I can expect an honest one. The baby sister uses the love language of service. She always asks if there is something she can do to help. She, like any person, doesn't like to be taken advantage of, but when help is needed she is right there with both helping hands. My oldest sister encourages me like a you would want an older sister to. She is often if not always kind when you need someone to talk to or help. She will give you honest opinions and answers, but will do so as kindly as possible to human. My big sister is the sister who encourages new things. Things both with her and on my own. There has been plenty of things I did because she urged me. My sisters all young and beautiful are special. <3

     The random things...there isn't much to say. They are random and can pop up any where. They just can't be kept track of.

      My brothers and sisters are the best inspiration, and the next are the random things I see or hear. It comes from near and far.The inspiration is every where. My family is the best!!! :D <3

I think I need to work on making these shorter.....I don't want to go back and read them they are so long.

Lift Your Eyes to Our Father Above!!!

In your times of trial lift your eyes to the Father above. He alone is the answer. The source of peace and love. 

I  have had lots of trouble recently. I wait and wait for them to settle down but they never do. God gives me these trials to help  me grow stronger. He wants me to trust him and become closer to him. He uses the hard things in my life to do this. I, as a sinner, try to do it my self and ask God to take it away. I want to think and believe that I will do better and be happier with out it. But God knows me better. He knows that I have a desire to move spiritually. He sees that I don't want to be bored. I have the trials, He puts me in, to change me into what he wants me to be.  

I am always in his hands or on the pottery wheel. He will always work on me to make me what he wants me to be. When I mess it up, unlike me as a potter, He doesn't lose control of his anger.

 With clay it doesn't work to lose is and get angry. Working slow and being patent is what must be done. If you work to fast it ends up lopsided and odd. It becomes to thick in one area and way to thin in another. Some times He has to add things or take things away.The things he has to add can be familiar or very foreign. Things that don't match up with the rest of it.  The way it comes out will be totally different from any thing else that is, has been, or ever will be. 

God is not like any potter. He is wise and patent. He will work on you as long as needed. This is a life long mission. One that He is willing to do. Soften your heart and become clay that is willing to let him work. One way or another is will happen. Some times he might just have to stop and tear it all apart and start over. It is only because he wants you to be the best piece you can be. 

I have struggled a lot this last year with the change in school. He has completely tore me apart and started over. Nothing is the same and never will be again. I have had to put a this much trust in Him. He has gotten me through days I thought were going to be impossible. Praying is the only way I got through others, just knowing He was there and asking for His peace. I have had to submit my life. One thing I had never understood was giving my life to God. I had been told sure. I thought I had. But when it came time to be tested I was not ready. I failed and found one reason why it was good for me to go to a real school. 

I was shown more of the world and what it is turning into. It is a different kind of understanding to see than it is to just hear. It is nicer to hear but easier to really truly understand if seen. 

I am very thankful for the friends God had provided. So many people encouraged me to keep going and trust God. They all knew that God knew what he was doing when He put me there. I thank both friends made before and during school. You all had a part in this last year of my life. In fact I think it has made more of an impact on me this last year than ever before. Thanks to you and to God for giving me true Christian friends. 

I have had more of the dark world than I ever wanted. I still have a little ways farther to go. Please pray for me and this up coming year!!
