It's been a day...
A good day, actually. It was just this evening when I got sad...
Corinne, found this amazing Youtuber (Is that a word?) who posts sheet music with the video. So Christi has been playing some of the gorgeous music from both the new Emma and Sense and Sensibility. It is *so* gorgeous. There's this one called Hope.
It's beautiful. And so very sad. And it made me think of Hope. And how her and Amy died on the same day. And how I can remember Amy and Hope on the same day.
Here's the song. I want to cry now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDmaY3_lQz4&feature=related
Sometime... I'll post pictures sometime. I have Stephen waiting on me to use the computer. Plus, I need to go upstairs, get ready for bed, and then read North and South until 10. I'm trying to get myself on that schedule, since otherwise six comes so early that I look like a zombie in the mornings. Now that I'm doing this, I feel refreshed and so much better.
Until now. When I ate a waffle cone filled with cookies and cream ice cream.
Goodbye forever,
Lizziebeth.

Notes from Sundays...
Again, no pictures. I'm on the wrong computer. It's late, and I have waaay too much to do. I'm going to die this week. From exhaustion, that is. I need to be up my six to get my Bible reading and studying in before school. And then Chemistry. Oh Chemistry. It's going to be the death of me. Forget exhaustion. Stoichiometry is going to be the weapon.
Anyway, I feel like I should share more of my scripture reading and devotionals along with notes from Sundays.
So, like the genius I am, I realized the other day that I really shouldn't copy days from my devotional down and post them on things. The book is copyrighted. I felt bad. But oh. There are *so* many wonderful things in the Spurgeon devotionals.
Also, I wish that I knew how to play cello. And that I was amazing at it.
Today my devotional was on prayer.
And boy was it a good one.
The scripture: "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;... shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?" Luke 18:1-7
Suggested further reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18
I won't post all of the middle part. Just sections, as I go along through this post.
For Meditation: Praying always is linked to standing firm in the Christian fight. (Ephesians 6:13,18) The apostle Paul proved it. He was always praying (Romans 1:9; Philippians 1:4; Colossians 1:3,9; 2 Thessalonians 1:11) and did not faint under severe pressures (2 Corinthians 4:1.8-9, 16). Unlike the unjust judge who had no concern for the widow in her battle with her adversary (Luke 18:2-3), God cares for his people as they do battle with their adversary the devil. (1 Peter 5:7-8).
Notes from Sunday School this morning.
1 John 2:12-17
We can be old in years and a babe in Christ.
The closeness in v. 12 that Paul has with them. "Little Children"
v. 1 of chapter 1. (1 John 1:1) Having to do with your age, and the other having to do with your relationship with Christ.
Be an example of the believers. In word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12
1 Peter 2:2-3 ------------ Both having to do with "little children"
Hebrews 5:13-14---------
John's sweet spirit that we see through his writings.
Seeing how God works in my life.
1 John 2:12-14 Paul explaining why he wrote to them. He expresses to them that their sins are forgiven.
Babes in Christ desire the word of God. Desire it.
Ephesians 6:10-18 Having the armor of God on us at all times.
Desire the word of God.
1 Peter 2:24 "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED"
Ephesians 5:2 Give thanks always. Our prayer is to Jesus. It should not be by our merits to pray to him. He guides us.
Philippians 2 "Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord."
From todays devotional:
"Our Lord means that believers should exercise a universality of supplications--we ought to pray at all times. There are no canonical hours in the Christian's day or week. We should pray from daybreak to midnight, at such times as the Spirit moves us. We should pray in all conditions., in our poverty and in our wealth, in our health, and in our sickness, in the bright days of festival and in the dark nights of lamentation"
Oh. I want to post more of it.
The last part:
"You will never err by praying too much; you will never make a mistake by asking God's guidance too often; but you will find this to be the gracious illumination of your eyes, if in the turning of the road where two paths, which seem equally right, meet, you will wait a moment and cry until God, 'Guide me, O thou great Jehovah.' 'Men ought always to pray'."
February 21 365 Days with Spurgeon Volume 3.
It's fantastic. I think I'm going to buy the 1st volume for friends for Christmas. I wish everyone could or would have his work.
God is so good to us.
And when I get stressed out, and don't turn to Him, I hurt Him. I shouldn't be stressed in the first place. I should always be trusting Him to take care of everything. He will get my through anything. So when I come here, and freak out because I'm worried about something. Please always remind me to keep trusting Him.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6

*deep breath*
Ok, I just realized that you probably think I'm going to be one of those bloggers, who say that they're going to blog and then don't do it.
I do have reasons.
I wasn't home. Wednesday at around lunchtime, Janess called and asked if Christi and I could spend the night and babysit Paige.
I was eating lunch. I hadn't had a shower. Or maybe I did... I think I had... Anyway, I still had over ten pages of Chemistry to read and do problems on, pack clothes for the night, clean, and figure out if I wanted to make something.
So Wednesday afternoon was about as hectic as you can get, and then, obviously, I can't post there, because I have no pictures.
So I will post pictures. But it will now be next week, since we have to be at Abby's my 3:45, I have a full set of practice problems in Chemistry AND a test in it, and then a math test to finish.
And then I need to breathe.
And then start running again.
So I'm off of here. I need to go and get things done before my afternoon is completely gone. It looks like Chemistry is going to have to be pushed into Saturday. I hate doing school on Saturday. Hate. It. : (
I'm sorry. I feel like one of those bloggers now.
I'm failing here.

Eh ahm..
Dear Blog,
I have lots and lots of pictures to post, but no time to do so at this moment. Due do the busy weekend, things have piled up and I think I'm busy until Thursday with all of the letters and emails that I have to reply to. So don't expect anything soon. I'm trying my hardest to squeeze everything in, but I obviously have to be choosy here, and you didn't make the "do right now" cut.
See you sometime in the next week,
Lizzie

My day
Good morning! Just 'cause I thought I'd be ridiculous and tell my plans to you for the day. Today's a busy day.
Now: 7:56
I've already: drank a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream, watched the news with the family, done my Bible reading, made Dad's tea for work, said goodbye to Mom and Christi, said goodbye to Daddy, fed Lance, and cleaned up the breakfast dishes.
What I still have to do:
Math test
Chemistry review questions and problems
Chemistry test
British Literature LifePac test 10 (aka, the final test of all. :D)
Language Arts LifePac test 10 (Same as above.)
Geography test
Art test
History
Get the boys started on school.
Clean the entire house
Pack
Play with the darling child that's coming for the afternoon
Make lunch
Do laundry
Put new sheets on my bed (I washed them)
Make banana bread
Make a snack to take tonight
Make sure the fire stays going at both our house and Grandma's.
Wash my hair
Get dressed
Paint my nails
Decide if I'm going to straighten my hair
Be presentable by 5.

There you go! :D
Dani is coming at five to pick us up. Christi and I are going to spend the night there. I'm so excited! We had *such* a blast there on her birthday!! :D We're doing Bible study, too. Ashley was going to be coming, but her aunt (and family?) came out for two weeks, so she can't come. It would have been awesome, but it will still be a ton of fun. Sometime we'll work it all out.
I'll be back on Friday around or before 4. Mom and Dad are going to be out tomorrow, so I need to be back to make dinner. Which is going to be Chicken and Wild Rice Soup. Caitlin's family's recipe! :D I'm so excited about trying it!
Emma is coming home!!!
We have rehearsal Saturday! We get to see Kayla and Adalie!! :D This is a good week. Everything is going splendidly.
God is so very wonderful.
Love,

La de da...
It's that time of the month again...
*spits water all over the computer screen* (not really)
That sounds like something completely different from what I was meaning.
I meant that it's the 10th.
And I miss her. I mean, I always miss her. But I just remember her, and how incredibly wonderful she was more on the 10th. I guess it's just burned into my brain. Jaymun's Daddy said that they thought the 13th was for them, so I think we think alike.
I read her Bebo blog tonight, and it made me miss my sweet sister. Because I could here her voice in my head as I read these words.
"..at 7 a.m. and the nurse walked in and said, "So, Amy, what's going on
I miss her so very much.
I can't wait to see her again. To get to spend forever and ever with my Savior. And her. And Grandpa. And Grandma. And so many dear friends. And ones that I've never met.
God is so good.
As I read 1 Peter this morning, noting for Bible study, there are so many amazing verses and then memories from sermons that pastor has given. I love it when that happens. I love when verses stick out to you more than normal.

with you today?" (This would be a legitimate question if I weren't
there every three days for the exact same thing.)
So tempted.
"Yeah, well...strangest thing. I went to bed last night and when I woke up I still had leukemia, so...here I am!"
I didn't. I just said that I expected my platelets were bombed out, and
they were, so three hours, a benadryl hangover and a unit later, I was
on my merry way."
I miss her so very much.
