Hoh boy, I am now in highschool! Exciting, huh? Not really, but that's ok. :) I got done with school an hour ago. Although that's only because I only had three subjects to do (Algebra, Writing, and Reading. The basic stuff. ;)) I'm sure as the year goes on, Algebra will get harder. I'm only on lesson two, but it's things like "Adding and Subtracting Fractions" and definitions and things. Also, when I start Speech and Biology, I will have more things to work on. Australia My parents are thinking and praying about going to Australia with Josh McEwen in November. For those of you who don't know, my dad has wanted to go to Aussie pretty much all his life. Every time he hears about work (as far as the RP churches) there and messages about being called to serve (such as Pastor Long's message at Calvin), it just makes his longing to go there stronger. My mom and dad were wanting to maybe go this August, but they met with the session and they advised them to wait till this guy (I don't know his name) is going. If they went in November, they would only be there while that guy was for a few days, I think. But since that's when Josh is going, they figure it would be a good time to go, as well. I mean, who wants to fly 20+ hours on a plane unless you know someone else who's going? It would just make it more enjoyable for all of them. Sarah can't go with Josh because she is pregnant and it is too close to the time when you're not supossed to travel when you're pregnant. (Did that make sense? :)) If we moved there, yes, it would be kind of cool in a way, but I would be extremely sad. I love where we live right now! I love my friends and especially my church right here in Indy! But, I know that if God is calling us to serve in Australia, we, as a family, have to go. I kind of felt like that was what God was trying to tell me during Pastor Long's sermon at Calvin. I got all teary eyed just thinking about it. I knew that was what my parents were thinking about the whole time, and I, also, began to be a little more open and willing to the idea. A year ago, or even a few months ago, whenever my parents would mention it, I would practically tell them I was refusing to go. But now I think God has used several things to open my heart a little more to the possibility. It would be extremely sad, but I know God would provide and I have no doubt that it would be worth it. I'm not sure why I felt like sharing all that today, but I did. :) Verse of the Day: "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope." ~Jeremiah 29:11~ Song of the Day: "I'm Already There" ~Lonestar~ (sorry to all you country-hat.ers! ;)) Quote of the Day: "Don't worry about th world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia." ~Charles Schulz~ Charity | 3:19 am Comments-[ comments.] |
