In front of a warm fireplace with a cup of tea when it's snowing; sitting around the dinner table with my family chatting or playing a game; studying the Bible either one-on-one with God, or with fellow saints Nova Scotia Watermelon. No question. Philippians and Hebrews капуст и королей (Of cabbages and kings... definitely cheated with BabelFish with that one!) To be the eager listener of Titus 2, and eventually the godly teacher for the young women. What are yours???

Have you ever looked at your past? Have you considered if you have changed? If you have grown spiritualy? If not, do it. If you have, do it again! It's so important. And I pray that when each of you look back at your past life, you will be encouraged, and that you will see the wonderful ways God works in our lives!!
..But if you don't see that you have grown much, I hope that it will somehow touch you, and make you see the importance of growing stronger and coser to God. I hope that it makes you strive to please Him in all that you do and wherever you go, and whomever you are with. How easy it is to get discouraged and become week! We should make it be the other way around! We should make it be....How easy it is to get ENCOURAGED! Thats how it should be. We should welcome ever opportunity we have to study God's Word, and be with other strong Christians. God bless.
Love you all. Continue to grow in Him.
Love,
Melanie.
As I get older ( =/ ), I realize that being with encouraging people and doing encouraging things are precious commodities. Thanks for the opportunity... :)
Well. I'm back from a wonderful week with the Works family. =)
Despite the pink eye and getting a bit sick...It was pretty amazing. Being with that family just made up for all of the sickness. Hehe. Homeschool camp was a lotta fun and I got to meet lots of very cool people that I have heard lots about. And I got to spend time with old friends that I don't see very often as well! =)
Next week should be really great! I am excited for it. My mom, her mom, and I plan on going to Washington DC for a few days. I LOVE it there! We went quite a few years ago. But I'm happy to have the opportunity to go again!
I miss all of my New Jersey friends...and can't wait to see you all!
Hi babydoll! I miss you too! And by the looks of it, you have been being missed right and left lately =) I think mom didnt know quite what to do with herself because she kept texting me these sad faces. hehe Oh, I am soooo excited for you to go to D.C. But I am sooo incredibly jealous that you get to see Christy and the kids. I just wanna cry honestly. I need to call them...mmm. Fall break is next week and I am really excited. i have a math midterm tomorrow- wish me luck. I love you! *hugs*
SO! I see how its going to be. First you leave me for HOMESCHOOL camp! Aaaaand now you are leaving me for WASHINGTON D.C.!! Ughhh, you just don't love me anymore, I see how it is. :/
You know how you kinda reach taat point when you are so busy...but then..once you have a minute to write a post on pleo you have nothing to tell anyone? It's just "same-old-same-old." Well...personaly I find that quite boring. Sooo...what am I gonna do about it? Tell you something interesting!!! Ha.
Okay. So, the things that happen around here are very..I think odd would be a safe word to say. Here is a little story:
Last week, I was just chillin on my bedroom floor doing some biology and minding my own buisness. But then...what do you know!? I feel something touching/slightly under my leg. Having no idea what it was I look down and....can you guess what it was? - - - A furry gray mouse! "AAAAHHHHH!" Yep. Thats what I did. and pretty much jumped 3 feet up in the air. So, I was expecting to see the little mouse scurry off...only, it DIDNT! It slowly wobbled a few inches...and PLOP! Fell right over! Now...if you know me...I'm not afraid of mice...however, this was something quite unexpected and I must adimit that I was quite horrified by the display. So...the next thing I did was slowly drop to the floor...a few feet away and just sat there. Really...I could barely move! Seeing that mouse...laying on my floor..and realizing that it had been ON ME! was just wayyyy to much. Thinking it was dead, I then decide to tell my dad what happened. When he comes down from my room, he is holding this mouse by its tail and telling me it wasnt dead but I must have blasted his eardrums with my scream! Oh man. I am thankful about one thing tho. I'm thankful it hadn't been Sarah instead of me. Because I think that if it had been, not only would the mouse's eardrums be blasted but all of ours as well!!! Lol. well...almost. Anywho...there is a story for you all. Some of you have already heard it so...thats just old news. =p
On that note... Happy Birthday Raymond DeLorenzo!!!
I just saw how you have me linked on your friends list and it made me laugh a lot- inwardly though because I am in the library (if that makes sense!) I miss our crazy times =( But, I bet you don't miss me singing that song!
Nothing more than usual I guess. But today after school I took care of the kids while Kelly moved some things into the house. "Taters" (Raegan) fell asleep in my arms again and that was special. =) Poor thing. She's been sick all week. She had a fever on Sunday and Monday morning and on Tuesday she broke out in a rash because of allergies. It's been hard on her but she's taken all of it really well. Anyway, rambling... I never sent that email did I. I'll have to do that soon. How are you?
I'm excited too!!! =) eeek! sooo, I'm gonna see you today! and it's raining. =P oh well, I like rain. and thank you, that was one of the pics Han used for the nametags! =)
