Hello again, everybody. How are all of you doing this weekend? I am doing pretty good. I want to thank Brittany, Robert, and Mandie for emailing me. I am sorry if I am kinda slow to reply to emails. I guess I just need to check my email more often.
I thought today I would show you all how my school schedule is. I mean, what I do every day at school. So, here it goes.
First Hour: Study Hall
Second Hour: Algebra Skills
Third Hour: Science Connections
Fourth Hour: Gym (Phy-Ed)
Fifth Hour: Choir
Sixth Hour: English
Seventh Hour: Word Processing (Computer Typing)
Eighth Hour: History
I have lunch right after choir. They do not starve all of us at school. lol.
Algebra skills is going pretty good, I guess. We had a quiz in it a few days ago, and I got 38 over 50. That brought my A plus down to an B plus, and I was very upset about that. I have to admit I cried a lot about it. It is a good grade, I know, I just was hoping to keep that A plus. However, my teacher in that class was very nice and gave all of us the option to re-do the problems we got wrong for extra credit. I think I have an A in there now, but I am not quite sure. I guess I will find out on Monday. But, like my algebra teacher told me yesterday, It does not really matter what grade you have as long as you can say that you tried your best. I am still aiming to get that grade back up to an A plus, though.
Science is okay, but it is really not my favorite class. We had a test in it yesterday. I cannot tell all of you exactly how I did, because I have no idea yet. I know I got quite a few of the questions answered right, because my algebra teacher had explained some of the different kinds of bonds to me. It made a lot of sense when he told me how they all work. Like he told me, you can remember how a Covalent bond works by remembering Co= co-operating. Isn't that an easy way to remember it? We also had to do the Lewis diagram things on the test. Those are one of the easiest things for me to do. You just use the periodic table, and whatever group they are in, like if they are in group 16, they are going to have 6 dots. I don't know how to explain it, but I really do get it all.
Gym is going great also. That is one of my favorite classes at school. Lately we have just been doing volleyball. I like it a lot, except for when I have to go in the front row. It makes me feel as if I am a soldier marching first into battle. I like being in the back a lot better. I feel as if I am more safe back there, and it is easier to see what is going on with the volleyball. Oh, well. I am having fun with it, no matter where I am, front, or back. I really like my team too.
Choir.... That is where there is a lot of confusion for me. I need to talk to my teacher in that class and see exactly what parts he wants me to be in. I have been kinda procrastinating in that area, I do not know why I am so "afraid" to talk to him. He really is a nice guy. I NEED to talk to him on Monday for sure. Otherwise I am going to ruin the whole thing for myself.
English is going great. I hated English before I started going to school. Most of you know that because I was always posting on here about how I hated English. lol. It is another story now. I love English, and I still love Math. Right now in English we are researching what we want to someday do as our career. I want to be a librarian, as I already told everyone, and so I have been doing a lot of googleing on that. And if Monica is reading this, maybe she can give me some more information, since she is a librarian. :-)
Information Processing is going good,too. I just love typing, and I could do it all day long (can't you all tell?) I think I have an A in that class, but I guess maybe you all do not care what grades I have. I just thought of that.
History is going okay. Once again, not my favorite thing in the whole wide world, but I do enjoy it. It is very interesting. We just finished watching a movie on Shay's Rebellion yesterday. Shay's Rebellion is very interesting, and I plan to post on it next. I would do it right now, but I do not have too much time left on here, and there were a few other things I wanted to cover before having to get off of here. So, for those of you who are interested, keep coming back to see if I posted on it yet. Or, send me a PM and I will let you know when I get it up.
A few of you know about some of the changes I have made since we moved to Wautoma. A few of you do not, and when I tell you, you may be quite disappointed in me, I do not know. I am no longer covering, except for when I go to church. I have just been doing a lot of studying on it, and have decided this is what I believe. And I also have donated some of my hair to Locks Of Love. I have a few friends who have cancer, or know someone who has cancer, and I decided it would be best for me to try to do something to help them out a little.
Hey, everybody! I guess I'll give you all another update about how life is going for me the last few weeks since I last posted on here. Well, everything is going great. I got to check my grades again today, and the lowest grade I have is a B, which is in History. All the rest are A's and A plus'. I am happy with those grades. I am doing a lot better than I ever thought I would. However, I am not smart enough to be a librarian yet. LOL! :-)
Tomorrow my mom and some of us others are going to parent/teacher conferences at my school. I can't wait for my mom to meet my teachers. I just can't wait! And I have nothing to worry about. All my grades are looking good, nothing to hide.
I have been staying for the after school program at my school Monday thru Thursday. I am pretty much just working on weight lifting there right now, not as much running. I usually only do about two miles a day now, instead of six miles lately.
So, some of you should e-mail me sometime. You know my email: bloomingroseforchrist@yahoo.com
Hello,everyone! I guess i ought to update, and let you all know what is going on in my now "secret" life (to you). I am sorry I have not been writing much lately, I just haven't had any time.
I started going to High School last week. This is a big change for me, as I have been homeschooled all of my life, until now. The reason I decided I would like to go to Public school is because I was getting a little behind in school, and I just wanted to be in the right place. I want to learn what I need to learn, and I was not getting that done at all. Now I am. So far, I'm doing great in school. I really like all of my teachers. I'm also in choir at school, nd that is my most favorite class. :-)
We went to a Baptist church today. I really liked it. I do not want to go back to the Mennonite church, because just when I needed friends the most they turned their back on me, and the rest of us. I will never go back to NationWide Fellowship Mennonites again. I can't. But, like I said, I liked the church we went to this morning.
And one of the ladies at the church we went to offered to give me piano lessons! For FREE!!! Isn't that SO nice of her?I can't wait to learn how to play! I think piano sounds SO pretty. :-)
Hey, everyone. How are you all? I'm okay. I miss hearing from people. If you ever have time either send me an e-mail, or PM me. I miss hearing from people. I don't get online a whole lot lately, but when I do I hope some of you send me something. i love hearing from everyone, and I really need a few friends at this time. I don't really have that many anymore, and I guess it's kinda hard.
I have'nt been feeling real well lately either. I keep getting some weird pain in my head. It's not a headache, I don't know what it is. It's not real bad though. It's just like every now and then I get this sharp pain shoot through my head. It's like above my left eye. It's not a pleasant feeling, but it only happens now and then. Not too often.So, it does'nt bother me too much. And...well, i've been having a few other minor problems I guess. But I'm okay. :-)
I'm sorry that i have not called some of you like I had promised to. i meant to, but the minutes on my phone are just about used up. So, I can't call. I'm sorry. I'll try to somehow earn some money to get more minutes.
Well, I have to go now. I just wanted to let you all know that i'm fine.
Hello, everyone! Sorry that I have not posted in forever! I've been kinda busy, but not really, REALLY busy. My week was mostly filled with writing, laundry, and dishes. Oh, and dog training, of course.
Today I went with my mom to Farmers Market. We had a stand there today. We did'nt sell too much, but a few things went. Do not ask me how much money we made, because I have no idea. I think my mom said something like around $50.00 So, I guess that's kinda a lot, but not really....
I just wanted to let you all know why I'm not on very often any more. My mom lets us all get online every Saturday for one hour, so that's the only time I'm on. If any of you wonder why I'm not answering all your questions right away, that is why. :-)
One of you asked me if there was some way you could be a tract missionary. Yes, there is. It's easy to start! All you need to do is first get some tracts, and then set out for the library,store,or just a walk. When you meet someone, be sure to hand them a tract, stick tracts in library books,in public restrooms, on store shelves, ect.
Where can you get tracts? If you write to CLP (Christian Light Publications) they have some free tracts, and also tract sample packs for only $4.00. I already sent you the phone no. and address.
Another of you asked if I could still write my "Dear Margaret" letters online. Yes, I can, and I'll be more than glad to continue doing that. To those of you who get your "Dear Margaret"s in the mail, I'll be a little late coming with the next magazine. My type writer is out of ink, so I'll have to buy some more before I can start on the next magazine.Sorry about the delay!
There were many questions that I received in pm's this week. I'll list the questions below and give you my answers:
My little brother says that God does'nt hear prayers. He is 6 years old. First of all, your little brother is only six. I'm sure He'll grow up to know and understand that God does hear and answer our prayers. :-) He is really young right now, and does'nt completely understand.
If God knows everything, then what is the point of telling Him things? God desires a close relationship with His children. There have been several times when someone tells me of a friends trouble, so I already know what this trouble is, but when my friend tells me herself, it seems to draw us closer together. It's kinda the same way with God; He is the best Friend we can have, He always has a listening ear, and ready encouragement. He desires a close relationship with His children. Also, we often need to share our troubles and struggles with someone, God is the best One to tell them to, He has answers to all of our needs.
Well, I had better run! Sorry this post is so short!
This is a familiar song to most everyone,and one of my favorites.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Refrain
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
Also, here is a clip I found concerning the author of the words:
While many hymns are born out of a particular dramatic experience, this hymn was simply the result of the author’s morning by morning realization of God’s personal faithfulness.
Thomas Obadiah Chisholm was born in a log cabin in Kentucky. Without the benefit of high school or advanced training, he began his career as a school teacher at the age of sixteen, in the same country schoolhouse where he had received his elementary training.
When he was twenty-one, he became the associate editor of his home town weekly newspaper, The Franklin Favorite. Six years later he accepted Christ as his personal Savior during a revival meeting.
Later Chisholm was ordained to the Methodist ministry but was forced to resign after a brief pastorate because of poor health. Chisholm retired in 1953 and spent his remaining years at the Methodist Home for the Aged, in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
In a letter dated 1941, Mr. Chisholm wrote; “My income has not been large at any time due to impaired health in the earlier years which has followed me until now, although I must not fail to record the unfailing faithfulness of a covenant-keeping God, for which I am filled with astonishing gratefulness.”
This hymn is an encouragement to me especially when I am discouraged. It points directly to Christ. If I had no earthly blessings at all, still I would have at least one, and that is God's great faithfulness to me. When have I ever cried out to Christ and He not been faithful in answering my call?Never!
There have been people who have turned away from God,being unfaithful to Him; but this is never a result of Christ being unfaithful to man.God is an ever-present,ever-faithful Friend. He is GOD. God cannot lie,neither can He be unfaithful to anyone.
Here are a few stories for you to consider.
Story #1
Once upon a time there was a young,rich man. He was well-known for his wealth,and also for the amount of friends he had. All of which were also rich,well known people.
"I am rich." The young man said. "I have everything I could ever need or want.I have friends,money,food,everything." But as much as the rich man told himself this,he felt discontent and unhappy inside. He could not shake himself of this feeling,no matter how much money he knew he had.
Story #2
Once upon a time there was a very poor young man. He had no money,though he worked very hard.He only had a Bible,a small hut,and an old cot to his name.
The rich young man knew this man, but looked down on him,and rather hated him. "He has nothing at all, and is dumb and poor." The rich man said.
Which was very true, but the poor man had more than the rich man. He was actually richer than the rich man. The poor young man had a God,and he had eternal life to look forward to.The rich man did not.
Now,which man was more rich? The one who was poor earthly.The earthly rich man was eternally poor.Which would you rather be?
