Me and my darling sister Kaitlin. She.. um.. I don't know what she was doing actually. Just being goofy I guess! :)

Psalm 38

Last night at supper, my dad read Psalm 38, and I really liked it. Something about it was just... I don't really know how to describe it. I just liked it a lot. So I thought I would put it on my blog. Hey! It's something to write about. So maybe this will start up some new ideas.. who knows!

Psalm 38:1-22

A Psalm of David
A petition

O Lord, do not rebuke me
in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.
For your arrows have pierced me,
and your hand has come down
upon me.
Because of your wrath
there is no health in my body;
my bones have no soundness
because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed me
like a burden too heavy to bear.

My wounds fester
and are loathsome
because of my sinful folly.
I am bowed down
and brought very low;
all day long
I go about mourning.
My back is filled with searing pain;
there is no health in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;
I groan in anguish of heart.

All my longings lie open
before you O Lord;
my sighing is not hidden
from you.
My heart pounds,
my strength fails me;
even the light has gone
from my eyes.
My friends and companions avoid me
because of my wounds;
my neighbours stay far away.
Those who seek my life
set their traps,
those who would harm me
talk of my ruin;
all day long
they plot deception.

I am like a deaf man
who cannot hear,
like a mute,
who cannot open his mouth;
I have become like a man who does not hear,
whose mouth can offer no reply.
I wait for you, O Lord;
you will answer,
O Lord my God.
For I said, "Do not let them gloat
or exalt themselves over me
when my foot slips."

For I am about to fall,
and my pain is ever with me.
I confess my iniguity;
I am troubled by my sin.
Many are those who are
my vigorous enemies;
those who hate me
without reason are numerous.
Those who repay my good with evil
slander me when I pursue
what is good.

O Lord, do no forsake me;
be not far from me, O my God.
Come quickly to help me,
O Lord my Saviour.

Updating

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't updated for so long.... but I really can't think of anything to write about. I would write about just anything, but my life isn't too exciting right now. :) So hopefully I will come up with something soon. Until then, have a good day!

Pictures from Minnesota!

Sarah, Me, and Amy. Sarah is holding Tetris. She was absolutely addicted to that game! She wouldn't let go of it, so she took the picture with it!

Isaac, Amy and Sarah's brother. So muscular for an eight year old. WOW!

And then there's Amy. It must be a family trait! :)

Sarah hanging from a tree. They slept on the trampoline two nights before.

Sarah and Amy with their dog, Shadow. She is old, but a great dog.

This is Sarah, Amy, and Me. It was taken at their house outside. They have a HUGE yard!

She was just messing around, but I really like that hat!

This is my cousin Amy, I took this picture when we were out shopping. We actually found out that we weren't supposed to take pictures. I got a this one anyway!



HA! I love this picture. They decided to pretend that they were couch potatoes! But you know what? The tv is next to Amy! Oh and her hair is lighter because Sarah and I highlighted it! It took us about 3 1/2 hours!

Who means what to me.

I thought since I don't really have anything much to write about, that I would write about a bunch of people and say what they mean to me. I will start will family members and go on from there.

First there is my dad. Who I sometimes call daddy! :) He is SO important to me and I have no idea what I would to without him. I would absolutely die! He teaches me about the Lord and about things that lead me further in my christian life. He is loving and kind, and ALWAYS helps me with anything I need help with. I LOVE YOU DAD!

Next there is my mom. I mostly call her mommy! She is AMAZING! I can't live without her! First she is the worlds greatest cook, (No offence to anyone!) she does much more than I do, even if she doesn't want to. She is the such a generous person too! She always puts others before herself, (It makes me want to be more and more like her!) She also helps guide me in my christian life! I LOVE YOU MOM!

Now there is my brother, Calvin! OH BOY! Well, what can I say about Cal??? Except that he is one of the funniest people I know. He is A-L-W-A-Y-S smiling! He laughs more than I feel like smiling sometimes. He puts a smile on my face everytime I see him. (Even if it's not on the outside!) He is a great christian man and is loving to everyone. I rarely say this, though I ALWAYS think it, I LOVE YOU CAL!

Then comes Kait! There is so much great things to say that I will start with this. Kaitlin is one of the kindest people I have ever known. She is a great blogger, (actually the one who made me want a blog more and more) and she is very funny. One thing she is known best for in my family, is her "One liners" You have no idea! And her puns! Oh boy! Maybe I will skip that part. :) She is the best sister I could ever ask for and, I LOVE YOU KAIT!

I guess now I will go through my friends!

Janece- She is thirteen just like me and is hilarious! She has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen! She laughs at just about anything and is a great singer. She makes the wierdest faces ever! She and I talk every minute we can!!! She is my best friend and I LUV HER!

Now there is Ari- She is also thirteen and probably the strangest person I know! That's what makes her so awesome! She goes to my church and is extremly funny! (I don't think there are any of my friends that AREN"T funny!) Anyway, she makes me laugh all the time. She is another one of my best friends! I LUV HER!

Next come Nate! I haven't know him all that long but we are great friends! And another one of my best friends! He puts a smile on my face everytime I talk to him. He is also thirteen and is a christian! He is so funny, and one of the nicest guys I know! He is like a brother to me and that's why I LUV HIM!

Now there is Sydney! She is thirteen too! She goes to school with me as well as Janece and Ari. She is very funny and makes me smile. We haven't known each other that long but she is another one of my best friends! I LUV HER!

The list really does go on and on so if I didn't list your name please don't feel left out!
