Praise/Thanksgiving

I am thankful for fall! ^ _ ^

Thanks for offering to cook for me… but really, I'd rather cook for myself :D

I'm thankful that I passed my driver's permit test!

I'm also thankful for this time of year, that I get to be in an awesome Christmas play with lots of cool people, that I have two adorable puppies to play and cuddle with, that I have lots of gorgeous yarn to fondle, and that I have a beautiful song stuck in my head!! =)

I am thankful for fall! ^ _ ^

Yes!! nods

Is the song "Blessed be Your Name"?

Is the song "Blessed be Your Name"?

No, it is not. xD

Some responses to tract distribution in China!

"I am a university student in my second year. It was strange to receive your paper message and after I read it my heart was deeply moved and I feel I need to know God. I want Jesus to become my saver. I have heard of Jesus once before but had no idea who he really was until I read your paper message. Please send me a Bible to help me know God. I want to be Christian."

"One morning at work one of my co-workers gave me your God message. She said she did not know who it was that placed it near the entrance of her home. She said after she had read it something like a miracle happened in her heart and told me that God was with her now. She told me to read the message and follow the instructions so I did and I also feel this special feeling in my heart. We write this letter to you and share what your God message has done and maybe you can help us and explain more about the God in heaven."

"I am very glad to have received this gospel tract you have placed on my door-front. It has allowed me to know more about truth about God in the heaven. The size is also very good and convenient to travel with. I like to take it with me and read it everywhere and show my friends and family."

"I know God talked to me through this tract. Before I never have opportunity to read the story in Bible, I did not know what things I need to do to get to Heaven. Today I really understand the story and I know what I have to do to go there."

"Your flyer somehow got to my home front gate. I asked my neighbours where it came from and they got one too. To read this story is very interesting and it stir me to ask more questions about more things. I feel I need to understand more about Christianity and God. Can you further help me please?"

"An evangelist from your adventure here left us a paper on God and Jesus. I have a friend once who told me to believe but I have no time until now to believe. He is a very good friend to me and after I read the tract I believe now and want to do more for God. I truly believe and want you to send me a Bible. I will wait until I get it, and thank you."

"I have been a Christian for only a few months and our home church has two studies per week for new Christians and we have sometimes used your gospel message to have study from. It is very good and I understand more through it. I really have life forever. So I am very happy and gave the message to my mother. She has been a believer for about four years and would like a copy also for herself."

"I live in a small village in the countryside and the city is a long way away. One day a sister told me tonight we have a big meeting because a brother came and preach and so we copy your tracts and give them out. I know you will not be upset because this is God’s message. People need to know the truth. I like this material and thank you for it. Your ministry has blessed China through the materials."

Praise God!!!!! His Word never returns void!! When Christians take tracts to China, people read them and come to know our blessed Saviour, and God is glorified!!!!

Amazing. Simply amazing. Indeed, praise God. :D

I posted about my grandpa's stroke on the Prayer Requests. It was getting really bad and at one point, it looked like he wouldn't recover. But he became a lot better and is now able to answer questions and drink water and he passed the swallow test so he should be able to eat… and today he talked to my mom on the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PTL!

Oh, praise God! We've been praying for him.

Thanks!

I finished memorizing James today - praise God!

I am so thankful that God pulled me out of here when He did, and didn't bring me back until He did. I was very angry about it while we were gone, but now that we're back, I understand why.

Yay!

Praise God! I was at a bazaar on Saturday, and it didn't go very well. At the end, another vendor came over and told us about one that is going to be really good, most likely. However, there were only six table left. When we got home, Mum immediately emailed the lady in charge of it to see if we could get a table.

She didn't respond. And didn't respond.

Finally, last night, we opened Mum's email, and she had replied! And I still got a table!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a bazaar? I may know but I can't remember :P

Basically a big craft sale where lots of vendors come together and sell things they make or distribute.

Oh okay! Neat! =) What were you selling?

Oh okay! Neat! =) What were you selling?

I just asked what she was selling, too, and then I saw that you had just asked it. :P

Haha! Hi btw ;)

Scarves, headbands, some earrings, etc.

The Christmas production I am in has gone very well so far! May His Name be glorified!! Two performances down, two more to go! =D There is fire involved in this production, as numerous candles are lit during the show and an eight-year-old girl walks across the stage with a lit candle. So praise the LORD for his protection on the cast and audience!! We continue to delight in what He is doing through us and through theatrical performances for His glory!

Praise God! I just turned in my final paper for my college writing class!

Thank you all for praying! :)

Yay! You're welcome! :)

We know what plane we're getting, and we have all the funds for it, and the guy who is selling us the plane also donated a year of hangar space! Thank you, God!!!!

And… In the eyes of everyone except the insurance company and whoever else may be concerned with technicalities, we are now the owners of a plane. Or, at least, a bigger plane.

Praise God, I passed my third clep, I didn't feel prepared for this last test in compared to the others I took, but I got a better score than any of them.

Proof for the fact that studying is detrimental to a test score. I'm feeling pretty good about August's test.

I have a praise! The Scriptorium of Ohio went wonderfully! I was able to meet so many people for the first time! It was especially special to get to see S, from AK, I was not expecting him to be there! What a surprise!

I also got to meet: Nathan Wright, Hannah Wright, Caleb Wright, Martin Detwiler (and his siblings), and many other people!

The recitations of Scripture which everyone did was really wonderful! I can't describe how enjoyable it is to get together with friends and listen to whole chapters recited!

Pretty awesome praise report to share with you guys:

Back in January, a boy from BSF (a Bible study group I've been part of off and on) attempted suicide. Almost every day from then until yesterday, I was praying specifically that God would remind him that He is with him. Well, last night I saw him again for the first time since before the whole incident. One of our group questions was to go around the room and share one thing about God we'd like others to know, and Matthew's was that "God is always with you and He will protect you". Such a huge, specific answer to prayer! Thank you, Lord! :-D

That is excellent! Praise the Lord. :)

Edit: Oh, and I have a praise also. I had an appointment today to have my ears cleaned, which were significantly plugged since swimming in July.

My dear friend Emily got baptized yesterday at Nationals, and I was given the privilege to witness it. Praise the Lord for His new life!

Oh, yes, that was so special! I was so happy I could witness that :)

sends tons of hearts of happiness for Emily!!! Oh, what joy!

Thank you, Lord, for a incredible week at the Bible Bee. Thank you that Your name was glorified. Please give us the strength to honor You in the sadness of missing everyone all over again. In the name of the Messiah, Amen

Hey, this is exciting! We're getting close to memorising the 500,000th verse! Go Memverse!! :D

Emily H? I saw a picture on Anna's blog and thought "Wow that girl looks a lot like Emily!" but I didn't think it really was! really really wishes I could have been there

Yes, that Emily. ^ _ ^

Hey, this is exciting! We're getting close to memorising the 500,000th verse! Go Memverse!! :D

And it happened! Half a million verses for Memverse! =D I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the big milestone was made by… somebody with a really weird username, "rekraP notsiL". =P Congrats everybody! xD

Yes, that Emily. ^ _ ^

And we had to leave at 4:00 on Saturday so i could miss it. :/ oh well. :p

I think that might have been their name backwards, so it would have been Parker Liston.

I'm gonna guess the guy's name is Liston Parker. :P

LOL, didn't even see that you said this. :P But he probably put the order of the name backwards as well (especially since "Parker" is much more common as a last name than a first name).
