30 Day Challenge!

This month, I am doing a "30 Day Challenge!" This 30 day challenge is: NO TV (Unless spiritual growth, or school) until the 30 days is up. Which will be April 1st. So far, it's been really good! I have watched some spiritual growth films such as, Return of the Daughters, and Pamela's Prayer! It's a bit hard on Saturday, because you feel like watching TV, but I will endeavor to persevere!

Spring Poem!

A Prayer in Spring

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertian harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing year.

Ah, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating roung the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.

For this is love anf nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above,
To sanctify to what far ends he will,
But which it only need what we fulfill.

House in Damon!

Well, our offer has been excepted by the owner of the house! Now it has gone to a bank, into a stack of papers. We don't know when it will be excepted, counter offered, or turned down it could be a couple of weeks, a couple of months, six months, or a year! Please, be praying that God will give us patience during this time and that his will, will be done.

Verse of the Week!

Pslam 89:1-2

A maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.

1I will sing of the Lord's great love forever;
with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known
through all generations.

2I will declare that your love stands firm
forever
that you established your
faithfulness in heaven itself.

Yeah!

We have decided to take a vacation to California, in April, to see my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew! We are also going to go to Oklahoma which is where my other sister and brother-in-law live, although we will be visiting them in May! I am VERY excited! I haven't seen my sister's, brother-in-law's, and nephew in a year. When we come back from California we will be flying Continental, and if you don't know, there have been some reports on the news about Continental planes crashing when taking off! Please be praying that God will protect us as we are airborne!
