Weekend...

Well, I'm struggling with ideas for posting guys!  I need ideas!

I am going to be leaving tomorrow after work sometime to go to our cabin with my family and my cousins.  I'll be home on Sunday, but have plans for the evening, so I most likely won't be posting again until Monday...

That gives you guys 4 days to post ideas for blog posts!  Any questions you want me to answer about anything Biblical or personal, or whatever you want.  I'll be looking forward to seeing responses...

Whoops...

Well, I know, I haven't posted in the last few days.  I've been kind of busy getting my last class finished up, working, and we had that special speaker this week, which we SHOULD be going to Church tonight as well to hear him one last time.  [Depends on this weather we're having...]

I met with a friend last night and she helped me a bit with ACT math stuff.  It was a good refresher, and it was nice getting out of the house and not having to work.

I'm kind of low on ideas of things to post, so if any of you have ideas, let me know!

Financial Speaker

Yesterday at Church we had a financial advisor from South Carolina at our Church.  His messages were VERY good!  He talked more on how we are to be in Christ, and that how after we give everything to God, then we can continue to figure out what to do in these hard economical times.

He was a very good speaker!  I took lots of notes.  I thought about posting them on here, but I believe I should have his permission.  So I don't think I'm going to.

Today he has a full schedule of financial counseling sessions, and then an evening service.  Tomorrow he has sessions all day, in which one of them my mom and I are attending.  And Wednesday he is having more sessions, and a final wrap up message.

I'm very excited to get advice from someone who is in love with God, and can bring everything back to Him even in the economical hard times.

One thing I do want to mention that he was talking about is why America is failing.  We are failing because America as a whole has turned their backs on God.  We have abandoned Him, therefore He has waited long enough for us to change, so He is going to start letting go of us, as He already has.  

Well, I am kind of in a little rut of posting topics.  I plan on having something a little better tomorrow.

Title

A few weeks back, someone emailed me about my blog.  She asked whether I meant for the "HIM" to be "h" or if it was to be "H".  I told her that it was to be "h" because I am posting here until I find the one and all of that.

But, I have been thinking recently, I am often times so wrapped up in dwelling on "him" rather than I am on "Him!"  So just for clarification, that is why I have changed it from "h" to "H."

Continue to enjoy reading!  

Also, if you have any ideas on a post, or a question you would like me to answer, just post a comment anytime and let me know!

-Emily

P.S. -  Sorry this post is so late.  I'm thinking Fridays are going to be later in the day because I work 8-3.

Almost there...Keep going!

So I am almost finished with my first semester of my senior year.  Senior year.  I have one last class to finish and one last VC of Italian tonight.  Then my first semester is over and I'm closer to my goal.  Graduating.  

When I was say....  6 or 7 and on, I just wanted to be done with school.  It wasn't my stronghold, I didn't have a lot of friends, and I struggled in some of my classes.  As I look back over the years it's amazing what I have learned, the friends I've had, and no longer speak to.  It reminds me of the verse in Ecclesiastes.  "Life is but a vapor."  That doesn't mean that it is empty and pointless, but it is very short.  

As I look on to my final semester ever of high school, I realize that it's almost over, I have to become an adult.  I don't think it is possible to understand the bittersweet feeling until this moment.  Last year when a few people I knew were graduating they were saying how it's such a weird feeling.  I kind of understood, because I was going into my last year after summer.  But I'm beginning to see what they meant.  

I need to start becoming and adult, understanding life, understanding other people, so I can be prepared for graduating.  After I graduate, that's it.  I have to know what I'm aiming at.  My ultimate goal as to be growing in Christlikeness, but I need to know what else I'm getting myself into.  I'm planning on going to college, I want to get married, and have children some day.  I'm at the time that all this is coming.  I dreamed about it my whole life, and it's right in front of me.

Such a bittersweet feeling.

Exercise: Physical vs. Spiritual

Today marks the 2 week mark of myself getting up at 5:45-6am and exercising!  Out of all that time I relaxed only one of those days (thanks to achy body from helping Dan & Jen move in).

I was flipping through my blog ideas book and found this verse.  I thought it would be appropriate for today.

1 Timothy 4:8 says, "For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come."

When I look at that verse I don't always understand it right away.  So today I looked at the notes for the verse.  It had a paraphrased version of the verse that kind of made it click in my mind.

It says, "For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness, the result of spiritual exercise, has unlimited value, since it brings blessings for both now and eternity."

I think that paraphrase sums the verse up pretty well.  Physical exercise, as valuable as it is for the here and now, will not last in eternity.  But spiritual exercise, such as reading your Bible, studying Scriptures, memorizing Scriptures, praying, attending Church services, learning from others, and multiple other exercises, are valuable now and will still last through eternity!

As I am trying to stay fit and healthy, this verse is a great reminder to keep up my Spiritual fitness as well!

Inauguration Day

Inauguration Day is upon us.  I thought I would share an email that I got before the elections.  I know that the President-Elect has been picked, and will become president today, but these truths still remain.

Top 10 Predictions

1.  The Bible will still have the answers we need.

2.  Prayer will still work.

3.  The Holy Spirit will still move.

4.  God will still enjoy the praises of His people.

5.  There will still be God-anointed preaching.

6.  There will still be singing to the glory of god.

7.  God will still pour out blessings upon His people.

8.  There will still be room at the cross.

9.  Jesus will still love you.

10.  Jesus will still save the lost when they come to Him.

These are things to continue to remember after this day is over and we have a new president.

Proverbs 21:1 - "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it withersoever He will."

We need to remember that know matter what happens, no matter what our political views are, the Lord is still in control!  He can change a heart however He wills.  Look at Pharaoh, the Lord continued to harden his heart, but when the time was right He softened it long enough to let the people go.  The only thing that keeps me at ease and peace about Mr.Obama becoming president is that the Lord is STILL in control, and He will never let us down.  

A few site you might like to check out...

Inauguration  - A site with some fun inauguration facts and other informational things.

Change - President-Elect Obama's agenda, there is also a place where you can state your thoughts and values.

Have a great day!  And remember that the Lord is in control of the future!

Recipe - Tiramisu

Original recipe found at Kraftfoods.com.

I altered it, so here is my version of it...

What you need: 

13x9-inch dish

1 package of Lady Fingers (I didn't use the whole package)

1 cup of coffee

1 tbsp. of sugar

2 pkg. Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 cup of sugar

2 cups of Cool Whip

your choice of amount of unsweetened cocoa powder

To make it:

Start a pot of coffee, enough to make one cup.  

While coffee is going, put the softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix with hand mixer until creamy.  Add 1/2 cup of sugar and mix again.

Stir/fold whipped topping in with cream cheese and sugar.

Coffee should be about done, take one cup and add 1 tablespoon of sugar to coffee and stir.

Layer bottom of dish with Lady Fingers.  

Brush on 1/2 of the coffee.  You will brush it over each lady finger more than once.  

When you finish with the 1/2 cup of coffee, take a little less than 1/2 of the whipped mixture and spread on Lady Fingers.  Add another layer of Lady Fingers, and repeat above steps.  After you have the top layer of whipped mixture, add cocoa on the top to give it some color.

Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

I have made 2 dishes already.  I made the full dish Friday that was refrigerated over night, I also made one yesterday that was refrigerated for a little over 4 hours.  It was a big hit on Saturday when I was helping some friends move.  

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 7

You can find and print this out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 7 -

As you have been focusing on thankfulness, have you found some people, items, or circumstances for which it is hard to be thankful?

Dr. Helen Roseveare, long-time missionary doctor in the Congo, told of a point in her life when she was shamefully mistreated at the hands of rebel soldiers.  She described the painful struggle that took place in her heart, as she sought to make some sense out of the humiliation and physical suffering she had undergone.  Then she told of the release and peace that came when she sensed God asking here, "Helen, are you willing to give me thanks for that which I may never give you the privilege of understand?"

Make a list of past or present circumstances, events, trials, or relationships for which you may never have given thanks.  Then, as an expression of faith and an exercise of obedience, say, "Lord, I choose to give You thanks for ____ and ____, which You may never give me the privilege of understanding."  In so doing, you will be acknowledging that God is the "Blessed Controller" of everything that touches your life, and that you trust Him and His sovereign choices for your life.

Difficult things for which God wants me to give thanks:

There are many things that I could say here, but most of these things are private, that few people know.  I am not going to share anything, but if you feel the Lord pushing you to comment and tell about something that is hard to be thankful for, go ahead.

Now that you've spend a week focusing on gratitude, we'd like to challenge you to make a lifetime habit of giving thanks.  In fact, you'll discover that the whole world looks different, when you learn to see it through eyes of thankfulness!

Thank you for joining me this week in "A Week of Thanksgiving," I hope you enjoyed it!

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 6

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 6 -

Paul instructed the Ephesian believers to "give thanks always for all things..." (Eph. 5:20)

One man of God told of meditating on this verse while he was brushing his teeth one morning.  He was challenged by the thought of thanking God for everything!  He said, "I began my thanking God for my toothbrush.  Then I thanked Him for the toothpaste.  Then I realized that I had never thanked God for my teeth!"  He went on to ask this probing question: "If tomorrow's supply depended on today's thanksgiving, how much would I have tomorrow?"

As you go through this day, try to consciously thank God for all things.  small things and big things!

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

This challenge is one of my favorites from "A Week of Thanksgiving."  It's so challenging what he ends with, because if tomorrow's supply DID depend on today's thanksgiving...I'm not sure how much I would have.  It's an amazing thought to thank God for EVERY little thing!  Try it today!  Everything you use, see, touch, do, thank Him for it.  You can never thank God to much!

Post a few thoughts on things you were thankful to God for today!

P.S. - Picture will be loaded tomorrow...

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 5

You can find this and print it at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 5 -

Call or write three people on the list you made yesterday, to express gratitude for their influence and ministry in your life.

(I plan on making a few cards and sending out today.)

You can find this and print it at Revive Our Hearts. 

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 4

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 4 -

Make a list of other individuals who have blessed or touched your life in some way.  You may want to include pastors, teachers, friends, business associates, neighbors, authors, leaders of Christian ministries, ect.  As you write each name, ask yourself, "Have I ever thanked that person for the way God has used him/her in my life?"  Put a check mark next to each individual to whom you have expressed gratitude. (On the pages you can print out it has a list up to 30 and a check box beside each number to make it easier to check off.  You can also do this on a piece of paper.)

1.  Lisa

2. Rebekah

3. Heather

4. Lauren

5. Jeff C.

6. Diane

7. Linda

8. Faith

9. Molly S.

10. Karen G.

(there is my small list...I have a list of others as well.  I plan on making a lot of thank you cards, and either mailing them out or giving them to them)

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

So what about you?  Are there any friends you need to thank today?

P.S. - picture posting thing is STILL not working.  I'll work on it this weekend while I'm at my friend's.

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 3

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 3 -

Today, focus on expressing gratitude to and for your family members.  Make a list of each member of your family (mate, parents, children, brothers, sisters, etc.).  Then next to each name, write one quality about their life for which you are particularly grateful.

Family Member                    ----             Qualities I Appreciate

Dad                                                                       Hard working.

Mom                                                            Supportive, loving, serving

Jesse                                                                Occasional helpfulness

Take time to thank God for each member of the family He has given you.  Then pick three individuals from your list whom you can express gratitude today, either in person, by phone, or by means of a note.  You might want to begin by saying something like this:

                    "I thanked God for you today.  And I wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you are a part of my family, and especially for this particular quality that I see in your  life..."   

(You may want to express gratitude to someone on your list who has been especially difficult to love!)

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Well, there ya go!  Post something about your family members and your favorite qualities they have!

-P.S. - Sorry about the no picture today.  It wasn't working correctly.  I'll make sure to add it later.

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 2

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Day 2 -

Before we can express our gratitude, we must take time to recognize and identify the specific blessings that we have received from God and others.

Make a list of all the material and spiritual blessings you can think of that you have received from the Lord.  Then stop and thank God for each item on your list.

Spiritual Blessings (if you need help getting started, try reading the first chapter of Ephesians!)

My salvation.

The growth I have gone through this past year.

Being a child of the King.

The Lord gives me strength through my trials.

A better prayer life.

My talents.

Material Blessings

My parents.

My Church family.

The house I live in.

The bed I sleep in.

The BIBLE.

Spiritual friendships.

My one whole year with my car...(it just died before New Year's)

My job.

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Now of course this is a minimized list.  There are so many blessings that I am thankful for.  How about you?  What are some spiritual blessings you've had in the past year?  What about material blessings?

A Week of Thanksgiving - Day 1

You can find this and print it out at Revive Our Hearts.

Thankfulness should be our way of life.  So often we are discontent, bitter, complaining, anything but thankful.  We need the "attitude of gratitude."  Cultivating a thankful heart will follow with thankful words.  We daily need reminded to be thankful.  [paraphrased by myself from introduction paragraph]

Day 1 - 

Every chapter in the book of Colossians has at least one reference to thankfulness.  Read the following verses and jot down a thought that stands out to you.

Colossians 1:3 - "We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you."

My Thoughts - As I read this in the beginning of the book, it seems like an opening/closing statement.  Saying that, we give thanks always, and that we will pray for you.  I think we make this a quote we say often when leaving someone.  Just letting them know that you will remember them in prayer.  

Colossians 1:12 - "Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light."  

My Thoughts - I had to read the notes in my Bible to understand this verse a little bit better.  In my Bible it says that it can also be referring that we can share in the salvation, the same that the saints who are in the light had.  Light referring to our spiritual understanding that we are God's children.  {to be a light to the world.}

Colossians 2:7 - "Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,  as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."

My Thoughts - Because we are rooted in the faith, we are to be thankful.

Colossians 3:15 - "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful."

My Thoughts - We are to let the peace of God rule in our hearts.  It should rule our thoughts and minds.  We are to be peaceful.  We are also to be thankful.

Colossians 3:17 - "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him."

My Thoughts - Anything that we do, we are to do in the name of the Lord.  Anything here refers to, anything.  Anything we do in private, public, any area of our life, we are to do to the glory of God.  At the same time we are to be thanking God.

Colossians 4:2 - "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving."

My Thoughts - We are to continually pray, (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and give thanks.

Again you can find this at Revive Our Hearts.  

I hope you all enjoyed the first day!  Make sure to comment on some of the verses, and what they mean to you!

How is our attitude?

When I am at my friend Lisa's house, I am most often happy cheerful, sweet with the kids, have a long attention span, am patient with everyone, and everything I should be.  But then  I go home.   Is my attitude the same?  At first, yes.  But then my brother will do something to bother me, or I will get short with my mom.

Something I have been pondering on is that, and my attitude everywhere I go.  I am trying to work on having the right and positive attitudes at home, not just when I'm with a friend.  

How about you?  Do you have similar scenarios in your life?  We should all take upon the challenge of looking at each of our relationships, and how our attitude is when we are with each person, how it changes one from another sometimes.  We need to evaluate WHY that is, and come up with a way to stop it.  

James 1:8 - "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

Okay, my mom emailed this to me.  It is true, it is from Homeschool Magazine, there are tons of links at the bottom that you can read.  This is not false, it is real.

This is from a Homeschool newsletter I get.  It is very upsetting.  Please read.  ~~Andrea~~

      Notes from Heather
   =======================

 The Sale of Children's Books to be Banned

 ---

 Oh, how I wish this were a joke!  But it is a grim and looming,
 almost Orwellian, reality.

 Effective February 10th, in the United States, the sale of
 all children's books (books intended for children ages 12 and
 under) is to be PROHIBITED.  Every single book printed prior
 to the ruling is affected, whether new or used.  New books in
 production are required to include a "lead-free" certification
 and will be the only books that are legal to offer for sale.

 What does this mean to the homeschooling family?

 Well, for one, curriculum fairs across the country will be
 cancelled as book vendors scramble to figure out how to comply
 with the new ruling.  Complete book inventories will have to be
 destroyed -- the ruling even prohibits giving away the books!
 Local thrift stores will be hard hit -- most will likely have to
 close their doors -- yes, even Goodwill and Salvation Army.

 Clothing, toys and books -- even CDs and DVDs are included in the
 ruling.  Thrift stores will no longer be able to accept or process
 anything (including clothing) that would be intended for a child.

 No more library sales.  Libraries will not be permitted to give
 away or sell book donations.  It is unsure yet, however, how
 the libraries' shelves themselves will be impacted (the ruling
 doesn't explicitly mention "loaning" books, just selling or
 giving them away).  The key word, however, is "distribution" --
 libraries may well be required to destroy books from their shelves.

 (The ruling that originally passed was about toys, but the EPA has
 since made a statement that clothing, books and media are included
 in "children's toys".)

 Just how serious is this new law?

 Amazon.com has already notified all vendors of their need to comply.
 No book can be sold at the Amazon site that was printed prior to
 compliance.  And the "compliance" must be coordinated at the manu-
 facturing stage.  At the time of this article there is no clause
 to be able to grandfather-in older books or even rare out-of-print
 books.  It can cost between $500 and $1500 to test a book for lead.

 I happen to own a children's bookstore specializing in living books
 from the 1950s and '60s.  My punishment for selling a book after
 February 10th?  Up to $100,000 and 5 years in jail.  And yes, it is
 a felony charge.  For selling a SINGLE book.

 (Although I don't think the S.W.A.T. team scenario would become a
 reality overnight, at the same time I would be leery of blatantly
 violating Federal law.)

 So what can you do to help save your local used bookstore that
 sells children's books?  Or that homeschool curriculum business?
 Or your EBay business selling children's items?

 ACT NOW before the quickly approaching deadlines:

 1) Email or call the CPSIA - the office of the CPSC ombudsman at
    888-531-9070.  http://www.cpsc.gov/cgibin/newleg.aspx

    Comments on Component Parts Testing accepted through January 30,
    2009.  Or email: Sec102ComponentPartsTesting@cpsc.gov

 2) Contact your local representatives. For their contact informa-
    tion, just enter your zip code.
    http://capwiz.com/americanapparel/dbq/officials/

 3) Make your voice heard by voting on this issue!  The top 3 in
    each category will be presented to President-elect Obama.
    http://change.org/ideas/view/save_handmade_toys_from_the_cpsia

 4) Sign the petition.
    http://ipetitions.com/petition/economicimpactsofCPSIA/index.html

 5) Spread the word!  Forward this article.  Send an email.  Write
    about this on your blog.  Tell others about this issue and
    encourage them to do the same.

Running the race...

Hi everyone,

Yes, it is quarter 'til 7, and yes I am posting something other than an update!  I made a schedule last night, and I think I'm going to be able to post every morning.  Though I can't fully promise that until Sunday when I start the "Week of Thanksgiving."  I recently started getting a new devotional from christianity.com called Encouragement for the day.  And let me tell you, it is DEFINITELY encouraging!  Tuesday's devotion was especially good!  I'll give it to you in a nutshell.  You can view the whole thing by going HERE.

It is talking about a woman, running a race with her husband.  The night before the race, she doesn't drink much, and eats wrong kinds of foods.  She has been told by friends that she needs to change her habits but doesn't listen.  So she goes out and runs with her husband...What do YOU think happens?

She of course does poorly.  She feels bad about it and has a heart change.  The next time she goes with her husband she has prepared by eating healthy foods and stocking up on water and does GREAT during the run!

The devotional says how we can compare that with our spiritual life with Christ.  How much do we prepare for our walk with Christ?  Are we consistently in our Bible as we should be, and prepared for the next task/trial ahead?  Or are we like the woman in her first run, and unprepared for spiritual battles and trials ahead?  

The devotional then gives a few pointers such as being in your Bible every day and making time for your relationship with God.

We can't just show up, and expect God to give us what we want, we need to prepared for what He gives us and prepared for what He does not.  Also, to be thankful for either way.

I don't know about you, but I was really encouraged by that devotional!

I will give you a little update though.  Last night I went through a few ideas on scattered papers for my blog, and got them into ONE notebook!  After next week I will most likely be working on one or two of my ideas.

Also, I'm trying to get back into a routine.  Which involves getting up at 5:45am and after breakfast and devotions, exercising.  Which I have done today.  I think follow my exercises will be my posting time.  I might dedicate tomorrow to telling you my full week schedule.

Thanks for reading!

-Emily

Little update...

Today I went ice skating.  We took lots of pictures.  I posted some of them on facebook.  So if you're a friend of mine on there, check out the pictures!!

-Emily

A Few Ideas...

Hey everyone,

So I'm gathering up some ideas! I had a request for a photo tip once a week, but I need to get a little bit better at photography before I do that... But it will be coming in a few months!

I have a few ideas for posts. I think that next week I'm going to go through "A Week of Thanksgiving" from Revive Our Hearts and will be posting each days work and my thoughts and ideas from it.

I also have a few other ideas for individual posts as well.

I'm not really sure if I'll be able to post every day the rest of the week or not because I'm going to be trying to finish my first semester by next Saturday.

I will update occasionally one how things are going though! Be sure to check out my Picture A Day blog!! I'll be updating that daily!

Have a good night/week if I don't post for a while!

-Emily

Ideas

Hi everyone,

I am posting to let you all know the few plans I have for my blog.  I would like to dedicate Mondays as "Note Review Mondays".  "Note Review Mondays" is going to be dedicated to going over my notes from Church the day before.  This will start next week.

I have a few other ideas, but I would like to hear your input.  Let me know what things YOU would like to see on the blog! 

-Emily

Welcome!!

Welcome to my new blog.  I have already explained why I have a new blog...So I'm just posting a welcome post!

Welcome to the new year, and I hope it holds a lot for each of you!

I don't really have time to post tonight, but tomorrow I'll be coming up with some ideas!!
