Posted in Family

Hey everyone,

Here’s how my week has been going. I know this is unusual for me to write about my own life for a change but I think I’ll do fine (if not let me know ha-ha).

Sunday, we all went to church as normal and I got to Sunday school for a change. I think I woke up at 5:00 am but that’s a long story. Anyway, my mom, my brother, and I went to evening service which is very unusual because usually my whole family will go. But as you read on God has surprises – BIG surprises. Mom got a call from dad during church and she tried calling him back but he didn’t answer. We called like a total of 15 times. We drove home a little worried but we were sure everything was just fine. Then we pulled into the garage and guess what!?! My grandfather was here!! And we didn’t even clean the house for him. It was such a mess with finishing school, starting yard work, messy house, you get the picture. We hadn’t seen him for 3 years and now he’s staying with us for a week. That is so great!!! Please pray for my grandfather and our family because he is not a believer. It can be really hard at times.

On Monday I cleaned the house a bit (the whole downstairs and bedrooms) since my grandfather had to come when the house was the worse. Also my brother was fixing the heater and air conditioner in our house but he couldn’t back to one of the dampers because the opening is really small. We all tested who could fit in the opening best. You have to be really skinny but long enough to reach the damper. So who got the job, well me of course!! I got out after many tries - who knew I didn’t know how to work a socket. Let’s just say I was VERY sore (even have a bruise) after that and I got some fiberglass in my skin. But now I have heat in the winter and cold air in the summer in my bedroom. It used to be the other way around.

Tuesday, I cleaned our freezer because the motor was burning and producing mold. It was very gross looking! We were able to shut it down so it would stop burning but that took forever. Then I got attacked by our cat because my sister hadn’t fed her yet. She bit and clawed my leg and its not very nice looking. We also went to two museums but they weren’t what I fully expected (thankfully they were free). It nice though to be out of the 90 degree weather *ugh.*

On Friday I'm going to an Apologetix concert with my brothers and my friends. I'll write about that later...

That’s how my week has been and I’m to sure what I’ll be doing the rest of the week but. Hopefully we’ll get to go to the beach and cool off. I had fun writing about my life for once and I’ll try to do this more often.

and in my cage I sit and sing to Him who placed me there.
Well pleased a prisoner to be, because my God, it pleases Thee."

Hi Elizabeth ~ How nice to hear an update on your daily life! I think you did a fine job. :-)

That's neat that you get to see your grandfather for a week! I'll pray for his belief. I know how hard it can be to have non-Christian family members. Take heart though, because sometimes hospitality can be a great witness!

Have a blessed day,
Amanda

In Christ,

I am 15 years old. I have 8 brothers and sisters. I and my brothers and sisters are homeschooled by my mom. I am a born again Christian and I love the Lord so much and He is very dear to me and can I never doubt it. I strive to love Him more, to attain His image, and to live only for Him! I blush and am ashamed when I consider how inadequate are the returns I am making Him; yet I can praise Him for the past and trust Him for all that is to come. I long to make progress every day, and each minute is precious, and I tremble if I should loose one. In Jesus Christ alone is the only way!!
