</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(almost) 2 weeks until Christmas, and still no snow! :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh well! In the foothills, we kinda live in a pocket to where we can see the whiteness covers the mountains, but never (ever) get any ourselves...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my to do list for the rest of the season:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">BAKE! BAKE! BAKE!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lady Fingers, Cheese Pennies, Sausage Balls, Reese's Cups, cookies....yup. I'm gunna be busy, and the house is going to smell goooooood!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">SCHOOL</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ugh. gotta finish it up by this Friday....(maybe...I can't find a testing center near me that administers Dantes tests!! HELP!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>DECORATE</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deck the halls with LOTS of boughs of holly (and evergreen :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">CHRISTMAS SHOP</span></b></div>
<div>
We are doing a new thing this year:</div>
<br />
<div>
</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Everyone draws a name from a hat (or cheap plastic cup) and whoever's name we get, we make or buy presents for. I drew Ben's name this time, so I've gotta figure out what to get him. I really like the idea of filling a big bag with boyish odds and ends, and what's nice is that stores generally carry a bunch of little doodads that an 11 year old would love ;)</div>
</div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">BALLET</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what's coming up tomorrow evening in Asheville?!?! THE MOSCOW BALLET is performing the NUTCRACKER!!! I've never been to a real ballet before, so I'm super stoked about this thing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="309" src="http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg533/landmarktheatre/MoscowBallet.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So much to do, and yet I still managed to get sick with a sore throat and fever yesterday :( <br />
<br />
Oh well, I'm sure I'll be better by tomorrow night....I don't think anything could keep me away from the Nutcracker<br />
;D</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being on Thanksgiving break has afforded me the opportunity to blog a bit earlier today...so nice :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
**</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've got a question; what kind of feeling do you get when you see this picture?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMc1_ijiVoyGzsENkGxd-jtXbFWzPf4Jc3eNcBavHv6aIYraia-oGDwY5AH_0MLm4bYouwam79tHOuHdDIH_2Y8TrOHpAq1_g6gfimcqDLXiVB9RGvXwdXbTAp-7smx2PEUibB_E2WIHyr/s1600/DSC_0691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMc1_ijiVoyGzsENkGxd-jtXbFWzPf4Jc3eNcBavHv6aIYraia-oGDwY5AH_0MLm4bYouwam79tHOuHdDIH_2Y8TrOHpAq1_g6gfimcqDLXiVB9RGvXwdXbTAp-7smx2PEUibB_E2WIHyr/s1600/DSC_0691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><img src="http://itsebits.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/xmas.gif" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know for me, it brings a nostalgic feeling that reminds me of cinnamon, warmth, jingle bells, Christmas songs, red and green, hot chocolate, snow, sitting by the fire in my pajamas reading a book, and the smell of Christmas trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know what it is, but this year I just absolutely can not wait for the whole Christmas season to start. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually, I take that back....I think I do know why. Over the last 2 years or so, amidst all of the craziness, God became a reality for me, and you know what is crazy? After thinking (and I mean really thinking) about whether I believed what I said I believed or not, I came to realize that for the longest time, I had been riding on my parent's beliefs and not making them my own. Yes, I knew all of the right answers to the Shorter Catechism, and Bible stories, but I think that's all they were to me; just stories. Ya know, that word, <i>stories,</i> can get to you after a while - you can almost start to think of truths as fables. I did without even realizing it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, I had always heard that at some point in your walk with Christ, you would have this moment when you come to a crossroads that made you decide to either follow Him fully, or follow the world. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess I was expecting a huge defining life crisis that would bring me to this point, but that's not what happened with me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It really has been a gradual process within the past 2 years that God has been super kind in taking me through. It's a cool thing to be able to say:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"I am not the same person that I was even 2 months ago."</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He continues to sanctify me daily (and let me clarify something. None of this is because of anything that I've done....it's God waking up my dead heart!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so that is (the long version :) why I think that I am looking forward to Christmas this year more than ever before. I believe that I am finally beginning to understand and be thankful for the this season of celebrating Christ's birth. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh! Haha. Why am I talking about Christmas, when Thanksgiving hasn't even come yet!?! (some of my family members would shoot me....NO Christmas until after Thanksgiving type of thing....)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SO, I want to end this post with Thanksgiving. I've got a huge list of things that I'm thankful for, 10 of which I'll list here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In our Church, we have a Titus 2 woman who has been super good to a group of us girls in teaching a Bible study on Romans over the Summer which has benefited us all so much! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This past weekend, our study group went up to one of the girl's families cabin and kind of did a recap on the study, sharing what had impacted us the most, as well as spending time with each other, hiking and so forth :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so grateful for this group of fun, but solid people who get together to both enjoy each other and keep one another accountable!</div>

<b>Sin, Salvation, Sanctification, Sovereignty, and Service. </b></div>

Brrrrr.....It's just now gotten somewhat chilly here in the mountains - so exciting!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday I spent most of the day up in Asheville, and while I'd like to say that I shopped long and hard with Mom at Trader Joe's and Target, I've gotta admit that I stayed in the car pretty much the whole time trying to study for yet another CLEP test. (actually I'm not a big shopper, so I guess I couldn't have said that anyways :P)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it was fun getting to wear my fuzzy boots for the first time this season, finding an awesome CD for only $5 at a used book/CD store, and seeing a few early Christmas lights that evening on the drive home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Speaking of Christmas, I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT! Everything about it just seems to special to me this year for some reason. </div>

For consistency's sake, I'm blogging tonight, but I've gotta warn you - It's nothing special. I've got only 2 days to try to cram a whole College Algebra course in before I don't get credit for any of it, so I'm off to studying again! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As Christians, we tend to hear the expression "trust in the Lord" a lot, but like the popular saying goes, "familiarity breeds contempt." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not that trusting God becomes necessarily contemptible, but often when we are used to hearing something everyday, it sometimes tends to get blown off. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In my devotions, I've started to explore more about the whole concept of trust, and what the Bible's definition of it is, so I wanted to share something that I found to be really thought-provoking that I came across while I was studying:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using Job 13:15 - "Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless man would dare come before him!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Matthew Henry commentates:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"Trust in God, though He slay us, that is, we must be well pleased with God as a friend even when He seems to come forth as an enemy, we must believe that all shall work for the good to us even when all seems to make against us. We must proceed and persevere in the way of our duty, though it cost us all that is dear to us in this world, even life itself. We must depend on the performance of the promise when all ways leading to it are shut up. We must rejoice in God when we have nothing else to rejoice in, and cleave to him, yea, though we cannot for the present find comfort in Him. In a dying hour we must derive from Him living comforts; and this is to trust in Him though He slay us."</i></div>

Well, Tuesday is already gone (hey! life happens...) so I might as well just put a 'Picture of the Week' up just to say that I did <i>something</i>! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But yet again, iPhone pictures (that I didn't even take) will have to suffice. (It's not the most convenient thing to lug a big ol camera up a mountain....I'm always worried that I might drop it over the cliff or something :P )</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Oh, how I do so love school! ....Wait, whaaa?? .... OK, maybe that's not entirely true<i> all </i>the time, but I </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;">have</span><i style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">loved getting some sort of </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">rhythm</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> back to my life once again. For my last year of High School, I've slowed down some on my "normal" subjects and have been able to focus more on College Plus and just finishing up last High School requirements like language, math, and writing, which I'm a bit behind on. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">But besides getting back into the groove and learning a bunch </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">academically</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">, God has also been teaching me the importance of self discipline, and I've already started to feel and reap the benefits. There are at least 5 areas in which I have really been working on for the last three months or so, and they are:</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Exercising daily</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Getting up by 6:00 every morning</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">Reading a book a week</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;"> Blogging every Tuesday . . . <span style="font-size: x-small;">{well, either Tuesday or Wednesday :P}</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 19.1875px;">and Memorizing Bible verses by topic weekly</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exercising and getting up earlier are pretty much self explanatory - you can guess why I've found those to be so beneficial. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But reading a book <b>a week</b>, what's up with that??? Well in talking to different people and just some general observation, I've found that the people who read a lot are usually the well-spoken, easy conversationalists because of all the knowledge they've gained from avid reading! . . . and I'm not just talking about one particular genera of books over another, I'm talking about reading in general. As a wise person once said, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Reading Begets Reading"</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">{and that is oh, so true!}</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then of course, there's blogging on Tuesdays (and sometimes Wednesdays...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
aaaaanndd.... in order to discipline myself further in this area, I'm going to try to post a picture a week to try to help keep me motivated to TAKE MORE PICTURES! :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(We'll see how that goes...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>POW (Picture of the week) :</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
{In case you are wondering what this is, it's a picture of Bob-da-Log. My dear brother cut him down and brought him home from work for me to keep in my room - face carved, a name and everything!} </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, memorizing Scripture by topic every week has been one of the best things I've done in a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day a while back, Dad, half kidding - half serious, asked me, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"can you quote more lines from a movie than verses in the Bible?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kinda laughed at first, but when I actually thought about it, <i>tons </i>of quotes from different movies immediately came to mind, while I could only think of 2 or 3 Bible verses off the top of my head. Point Taken. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But that's not how it's supposed to be!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thus started my goal to take 1 topic a week (i.e. patience, beauty, unbelief, pride....etc.) and memorize a passage of Scripture based on that so that eventually I would have more verses in my arsenal than anything else. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So anyways - self discipline is definitely not on the easy list of character development, and that is why I don't have any right to brag about anything that I've been able to accomplish lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is by God's strength <b>alone </b>that anyone is able to discipline themselves to do something that they would not otherwise want to do in the first place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Philippians 4:13</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Are any of you wondering about this week's post yet? Well, I guess I need to start from the beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What about here?</div>

I'm pretty sure it started back when my siblings and I were praying for our little brother, Ben who was living in an orphanage in Novokuznetsk at the time. From what some of our friends have related about life in a Russian orphanage, and the stories that Mom, Dad, and even Ben later on brought back with them, my interest in Russia began.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">When Ben first joined our family back in 2005, I used to wonder if there were any caretakers (they are predominately female there) in the orphanages and baby homes that actually took time to love and nurture the kids. After</span><span style="line-height: 27.984375px;"> Benjamin had learned to speak some English, he would tell us that there had only been one person in the whole place that was nice to him. - the cook. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;"> I used to think that it would be such a cool thing if one day a Christian woman could go there to be one of the caretakers to the kids just to show them the love of Christ and be an advocate for them. B</span><span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">ut while I thought of it as being a super good opportunity, I never really stopped to consider that it could possibly one day be myself. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">So, not too long ago, I was getting frustrated just trying to decide what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I thought, "everybody else has that one thing that they are good at and enjoy doing, and I haven't found mine yet!" Nothing I came up with interested me enough to say, "That's what I want to devote the rest of my life to!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;"> . . . until one day . . . </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">Mom made a suggestion that changed the whole course of my thinking. It basically took the focus off of me, and reminded me of the direction I should have been focusing on all along - servanthood. I immediately thought back to my vision of having a Christian caretaker placed in the orphanages of Russia. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">That kinda got my wheels turning, so </span><span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">I told my College Plus coach kinda what I had been thinking, and she made the brilliant suggestion to look into possibly one day starting my own non-profit organization - something along the lines of <a href="http://www.compassion.com/" target="_blank">Compassion International</a> to where you set up sponsors for individual kids to give them a future so that they don't go back out on the streets, have more kids, and start the cycle all over again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 27.984375px;">So where do I go from here now that God has given me a unique purpose of my own? Well, I am going to be starting some Russian language classes this year, look into a Russian missions trip for my Senior year next year, and do some major researching! :D</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This all might seem a bit sudden and out of the blue to you, as it does to me somewhat, but my parents have been very faithful in teaching me that if there is an opportunity that presents itself, I can not just automatically say "yes," "no," or "I can't." Instead it involves prayer, seeking council, and beginning to take steps of faith - then allowing God to direct my path. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We will see where He goes with this one! </div>

Yes, I know I skipped last week's post, but I think I had a legit reason...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Tuesday at this time, Mom was having a pretty big surgery done, so obviously blogging was out of the question for the day. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully, everything went super well, and she is recovering nicely ... not to mention, we are eating like kings and queens here with all of the meals everyone is bringing us now ;) ...so grateful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From week to week when I find that it's time to blog again, I can't seem to find a lot of inspiration for the next post. I've already mentioned this, but I am not a writer at heart - so while I don't want to be the next random girl who decides to post a bunch of fluff and stuff on the internet, the truth is, sometimes that's simply the easiest thing to do without having to write much and still maintain a good following!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God definitely knew my and many other people's tendencies to do this when he inspired Matthew to write: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b><span class="text Matt-12-36" style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span class="woj"><br /></span></span></b></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b><span class="text Matt-12-36" id="en-ESV-23526" style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span class="woj">"I tell you, <span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-ESV-23526A" title="See cross-reference A">A</a>)"></span>on the day of judgment <span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-ESV-23526B" title="See cross-reference B">B</a>)"></span>people will give account for <span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-ESV-23526C" title="See cross-reference C">C</a>)"></span>every careless word they speak, </span></span><span class="text Matt-12-37" id="en-ESV-23527" style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span class="woj">for <span class="crossreference" style="vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-ESV-23527D" title="See cross-reference D">D</a>)"></span>by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”</span></span></b></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what, I can't blog for fun anymore? ....everything has to be sentimental and "Bible-versie"?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not necessarily.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last thing we need is more sentimentality, and so many of us use the whole Bible-verse thing, not for the encouragement of others or to make Christ look good, but so that others will think that we are better or more "spiritual" than we really are. I know, cause I've done it too! So what's the point, and what's our motive is what I'm trying to say here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This post is just a reminder to both me and you to make sure that whatever we do, it has a purpose, and that that purpose - IS CHRIST.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anybody can put hundreds of pictures and write thousands of cute, random posts on the the internet, but what really stands out, is when you use all of that God-given creativity to build His Kingdom. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
. . . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Within the last week, I finally caught a glimpse of what my life purpose could look like, and how I could share it with all of you on Devoted Daughter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously, my ultimate goal for this blog is to "Glorify God and Enjoy Him" through my writings, but going even deeper than that, He has been faithful in giving me my "mission," so to speak. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited to share that with you, but hey! That leaves me with a great topic to pick up on next week, now doesn't it? I'll give you a hint though:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is always something to work on in your character, whether you be 17, or 71! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I personally know, after looking back at how I wasn't patient with this person, or not all that humble in that situation, {the list could go on and on...} my character flaws can sometimes seem overwhelming! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm one of those gals who likes to have practical ways to help me to overcome difficulties. So, I was remembering what it says in Galatians 5:22-23 about the fruits of the Spirit:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
. . . and I started to think, "Now how can I <i style="font-weight: bold;">practically </i>apply this verse?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I came up with was a sort of challenge to myself: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">LOVE,</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">JOY,</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">PEACE</span><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"> Challenge</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NRV3T0aYp6LaG8pmh7d3-_-wGTa0OmbRtWr2iq_0yCkbwq52hYkljMJPFj5W8GLaYIEd8x5v-I1XPdBr7EsVhHw7raTT2VKzGpcQQkb_JvfxIRB7xiPf5NltYuAXxgffBP9bM_oz0fzo/s1600/L,J,P.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2NRV3T0aYp6LaG8pmh7d3-_-wGTa0OmbRtWr2iq_0yCkbwq52hYkljMJPFj5W8GLaYIEd8x5v-I1XPdBr7EsVhHw7raTT2VKzGpcQQkb_JvfxIRB7xiPf5NltYuAXxgffBP9bM_oz0fzo/s320/L,J,P.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Generally, it takes about 21 days to form a habit, so what I'm doing is taking 1 "fruit" a month (a couple extra days for good measure :) to focus on and pray that God would cultivate that character quality in me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, for example, this month's "fruit" is love! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That means that for the rest of this month, I am praying that I would love others with God's kind of love, and then actively look for ways to show and cultivate that love throughout the month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From there, I'll take the other fruits of the Spirit and do the same thing with the hope that by the end of 9 months, I will have formed unshakable habits based around loving others, being joyful in all circumstances, having complete peace in my heart, . . . and so on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, why exactly did I tell you all this?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I told you so that prayerfully you and many others will join me in actively working on our weaknesses, because, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"> a worker </span><span class="crossreference" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; text-align: start; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-ESV-29826A" title="See cross-reference A">A</a>)"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">-2 Timothy 2:15</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course, it is because of God's grace and through his Holy Spirit that we have the power to overcome our weaknesses - one step at a time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, before I leave you for this Tuesday, I'd like to share something that really encouraged and inspired me today. Its a really short, 4 part video series called, <span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>"FABULOUS LIFE OF A TEENAGER" </b></span>by Alex and Brett Harris - founders of the <a href="http://therebelution.com/" target="_blank">Rebelution</a> movement, and authors of the book, <a href="http://therebelution.com/books/do-hard-things/" target="_blank">Do Hard Things</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enjoy and <span style="font-size: large;">BE CHALLENGED!</span></div>

Man, to all appearances, my day is made! But believe it or not, I went to bed last night thinking and worrying about everything I have to get done this month - from school to keeping the house clean - which is a whole other challenge in and of itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(yes, my home is normal too)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My aunt is here from Colorado with her 2 little boys for the month of July, so that should keep us all plenty busy . . . but of course, that's the good kind of busy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that in August, Mom has a big 'ol' surgery that she's gotta get over with, and our family takes our annual beach trip with dad's fam later that month as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . maybe in September, our life will slow back down to a more normal speed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whew!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't ever remember a more busy year! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I sometimes get the feeling that with all of this extra stuff that has come up in my life, I am kind of skimping on my devotions in the morning in order to fit in everything else that I've gotta get done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not good! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I've started reading this book that I found tucked away in one of our bookshelves that is really helpful and addresses these issues. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Life-Management-Busy-Women-Passion/dp/0736901914" target="_blank">It's called; Life Management for Busy Women.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, some of the topics are geared more towards the busy Mom/Wife, but even then - most of the points are applicable to me in one way or the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't quite sure what I would find when I opened the book, but then I saw the very first chapter: <i>Developing a Passion for God's Word. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I though, "hey! How bad can that be???"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started reading, and came across something that really hit home for me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It said, <i>"Somehow, at some time, for some reason, God's Word took a secondary place to other pursuits. The lesser choices were made regarding how time was spent, until time was not taken each day to develop a passion for knowing and following God's plan. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>At the heart of a woman seeking to live out God's plan for her life is a passion for God's Word. And when we fail to purposefully and willfully develop this passion, we begin to spend our precious time and days on lesser pursuits . . . which can lead to wandering off the path of God's purpose for our life and out of His will."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the author went on to give 10 practical ways in which to develop a passion for God's word. They were;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>1. Refuse to miss a day of quiet time with the Lord.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Pray as you approach God's Word</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>3. Consume God's Word in various ways. (i.e. songs, memorizing verses, placing scripture around the house. etc.) (basically surrounding yourself with the Word)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>4. Find a rhythm or a pattern that fits your lifestyle. (i.e. when is the best time to have your quiet times. Mine is in the morning.)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>5. Be a woman of one Book - the Book (<i>"Make it a rule to read what honors God's standards and glorifies Him. And if you only have time to read one book, make sure that book is the Book." </i>)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>6. Be accountable</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>7. Beat the family. (<i>"aim at getting up before your family gets up"</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>8. Teach your children. (well....since I don't have any children of my own to teach ;) I take this and apply it to teaching/encouraging/mentoring younger siblings, or friends)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>9. Purpose to get up (<i>"Surely any woman with any passion for anything makes sure she gets up to enjoy that passion!"</i>)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>10. Aim for more time in your devotions.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
**</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just thought that those were super helpful and encouraging to me, so I wanted to share them with all of you who might just be going through some of the same things as I am . . . especially this Summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember! God is still God through business, and we/I can't just put him on hold while trying to fit "everything else" into our schedules. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides . . . Isn't He the one who gave us these busy times in the first place?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've had a cozy rainy day filled with <a href="http://www.collegeplus.org/" target="_blank">College Plus</a> degree consultations, memorizing Philippeans 2:5-11, watching old Westerns with Grandaddy, and keeping Caelen company as she worked at my Grandfather's surveying buisness. </div>

That's another thing that I love about living up in the mountains . . . there are so many quaint little shops tucked away in there! Of course, I never actually end up buy anything from them, but I always come back inspired. They are usually selling some nifty lil trinket that I figure I can make myself....if I ever find the time to :D</div>

Just finished listening to this song on <a href="http://www.pandora.com/" target="_blank">Pandora</a>, and thought, "oh, how fitting!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the not so far gone past, I struggled with not having any friends, and when I say struggled, I mean <i>struggled! </i>It bothered me, I tell ya!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was younger, making friends was always easy for me, but as I got older and we moved from VA to NC, it started to get harder and harder. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever seem like <b>everybody</b> is either much older or younger than you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, that's how<i><b> I</b></i> felt until I (finally) realized, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"God has a good reason for this. I bet that I have been put in this hard place in order to get closer to my family, and become more dependent on God before he gives me "outside" friends."<br />
<br />
And do you know what? I was right! My family members became my bestest of best friends, and God became more real to me than ever before! It was an amazing work that He did in my heart to make me refocus my thoughts from what I didn't have, to what he had already given me. <br />
<br />
Then, and ONLY then, did he bless me with what I had been longing for so badly;<br />
Friendship.<br />
That is why the song by Francesca Battistelli was so applicable to my thoughts today :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #073763; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><b>"But when I fix my eyes on all that You are</b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><b><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #073763;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;">Deep in my heart</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Grows strangely dim</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
All my worries fade</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
And fall to the ground</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Cause when I seek Your face</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">
And don't look around</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">

</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px;"><div style="text-align: center;">

Until everything else starts to look dim in comparison to Christ, all of our longings and desires are simply going to eat us up, like they did for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Phlippians 4:11-13 sums it up perfectly:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength."</i></div>

Just 2 years ago, we became members of <a href="http://www.bcbchurch.org/?page_id=4" target="_blank">Burk Community Bible Church </a>in Morganton NC, and not only did they teach the Bible, but they also taught their kids Biblically. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good afternoon everybody! Hope you are having a super fabulous Tuesday so far. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the moment, I am looking outside at the clouds of pollen that are passing by in waves . . . it's <b>crazy!!! </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I feel really sorry for whoever has allergies with that kind of stuff...ugh.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, what did you do this past week?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mine was spent in finishing up the last bits of school (which I am now done with until July :D !!!) and attending the <a href="http://conference.nche.com/" target="_blank">NCHE homeschool conference</a> in Winston Salem. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To tell you the truth, I've never been to a homeschool conference other than to work in one of the Apologia booths, so it felt kinda weird at first to walk around in the book fair and see all of the other vendors hard at work without me. :) But at the same time, it was nice to have the freedom to go to the workshops with one of my friends, and cousins. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the talks was especially thought provoking, and I can't for the life of me, remember the guy's name who gave it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Basically, it was a challenge to teens in particular to have enough faith in Christ to be able to share the gospel in any given situation that might come up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to ask myself, "have I searched the scriptures thoroughly, and do I know them well enough to be completely ready when situations <b><i>do</i></b> come up?" </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
. . . very thought provoking for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another good talk that was given (and that I <i>do </i>remember the name of that speaker), was by <a href="http://www.prolifetraining.com/scott-klusendorf.asp" target="_blank">Scott Klusendorf</a> on abortion, and how to argue convincingly against it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually, what he had to say was so convicting to me, that when I came home, I looked up our local Pregnancy Care Center to see if there was anyway that I could volunteer to help around the Summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a small piece of what I read on the their website:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Volunteering would be a wonderful way to support McDowell Pregnancy Care Center for those who feel they cannot afford a donation. There are always items in the "store" to take care of, or calls, or sometimes just keeping someone company.</i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Extra smiles being around when these young women come in go along way in setting the mood and the atmosphere. We know your time is valuable, <b>but assisting us in our efforts is "priceless."</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">That kinda sealed the deal for me, so I emailed them this morning. We shall see what comes of it. :) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At the end of the day, as we were having devotions together, Dad mentioned something in his prayer that reminded me of <b>why </b>we celebrate Memorial Day in the first place. He prayed,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Thank you for the men who have fought and died so that we have the freedoms to do all of the things that we did today."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A lot of times, I forget exactly why we celebrate this or that holiday, and just enjoy the day instead. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't want to be one of those people who celebrates the celebration rather than the reason for it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to remember and <b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">BE THANKFUL!</span></b></div>

Heeelllloooo peoples!!! The test went super well today, so thanks for all of your prayers! God was so incredibly gracious to me in that I got 2 essay topics that I already knew something about. That definitely made a difference! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The only thing that still kind of 'rankles in my soul' (not a phrase you hear often) is that just as I was typing out the last few words on the very last essay, I ran out of time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, well. <br />
:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides being nervous about taking a test every time we head up to Boone, the drive is so beautiful. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This morning, the sun was out with a little bit of fog covering the mountains, and we basically had the road to ourselves for most of the way up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{As soon as I finished blogging this morning, I had to run out the door and hop in the car . . . well, guess what I forgot!!??!! . . . the CAMERA! I'm afraid you'll just have to put up with phone pictures... :/ }</div>
