His Servant

... to bad we didn't have the camera ready when Seth walked in. Maybe next time! xP

I don't think you'll ever be able to surprise me that much again. :)

Won't stop trying though… :)

Hey guys… sorry to break the news, but I won't hardly be on Memverse at all in the month of July. I would to be on to chat with you all, but my dad is taking internet away for the most part, since we have a really busy month ahead of us!

Loved meeting you, Sam and Sarah! =) =) I'll try to make my bed everyday, Steve!!

Same goes for me. I won't be on really at all. I'll be able to email a tad bit in the evening but that's it. At least till the end of July. I'll miss y'all!

Bye Bethany and Carissa!! :( hugs

Carissa and Bethany! We will miss you both a lot! :(

I'm working on sending them. ;)

Sarah: Wowww. That was extremely early. :P But thank you very much. :)

I'm sorry, Steve. :( I'll miss you too! And yes, I made my bed today, and I'm going try super hard to make it everyday!! Bye!

It's okay, I understand… =/
Yes, keep it up! Try to keep Carissa in-line as well! Bye!

Ah, it was so fun seeing you all on Skype last night!! You guys are so funny! xD And I'm really glad we were able to fix the audio problem! ^Even though I didn't say much… :P^

Awesome job Bethany!!! So glad you made it!! :-) now you and Cari have to make finals!!!!

Maybe I might see you at Nats…

It was tons of fun to "see" you again, Rosie!! Yes, I really enjoyed the Skype call.. we'll have to do it again sometime!

Thanks, Steve! Even though you didn't make it, you still great!! Great job on studying hard and finishing strong! I hope you can make it to nationals… it would be fun to meet you!

Still been making your bed? ;)

Thx Bethany :-) I praise God for letting me do BB! I've gotten so much from it!
Yeah, so there's a chance that I'll make it down there.. hopefully it would be awesome to meet you and Carissa!

Haha! I'm trying to =) how are you doing on it?

Are you able to get online more yet?

That would be wonderful! It would be great to finally meet you!

Okay… this past week I've been doing bad on it, but for the most part I've kept up on doing it each morning. =)

Gah. I dunno. My dad said I could for tonight, but I doubt we'll be doing it as much. I think I might get to e-mail once a week, but I dunno about getting on here. We'll see. But, I do have studying, so we'll see if I get on, even if I'm allowed to. XD

Haha! I know how that is! But still, good for you! xD

Mmkay, so you do email? Yeah, you'll have a LOT of studying to do!! I'll be praying for all of you! You and Cari need to make finals =D you've made Nats before, right?

Thanks for the prayers… I appreciate them all! Yes, I've made nationals before… 3 times, but never gotten any farther than the initial competition days.

Yeah, I e-mail, but hardly at all at the time being. I probably shouldn't pick up any more people to e-mail, since I highly doubt I'll be e-mailing any these next 8 weeks. I'll be so ridiculously busyyyyyyy… XD

You're welcome. Well, there is always a first, right?!! xD

Haha!! I totally understand! Just, in all this studying, keep your bed neat! ;P

I know, I know. I'm going to try… right now, it's SO messy. I have stuff piled everywhere on it, and I didn't have a chance to make it today. =( So bad of me… but yeah, if I could keep my room clean during these weeks, that would really help. It just adds extra stress to my life when there's stuff laying everywhere. ;)

Haha!! I so know how that is… Having a little brother living in my room doesn't help lol! Yeah it does… Messy bed rooms I just can't live with… Or think!

Nope. I can't think in them either. I'm going to bed now, and I get to clean off the piles of stuff now…

Night, Steve! Thanks for you for your awesome testimony of how you handled the news. ^_^ So encouraging. =) Talk to you later, sometime! Maybe at nationals!

Okay! Yeah you need your sleep!

Goodnight Bethany! Thanks for taking time to talk! Always enjoy it =D Oh you're welcome :) it's hard for me to have a good attitude when facing news like that.. Not easy for me. No, God has helped me a lot and shown me a lot through Jonah this summer. Yep, ttyl! Praying I can go!

Bethany is back on the forums for a bit.

BUT. That doesn't mean I'll be on much. I still have TONS of studying to do. Missed you guys!

That must mean I have TONS x 3 of studying to do. xP Lol

It'll be nice to have you back on now and then! =)

Yay! Welcome back! :D

@Rosie - Awww. =/ Don't say that! Yes, it'll be fun to be back now and then… which probably won't be very much from now till the end of October. =)

@Rachel - Thanks!!

It's true, though! x)

How's the studying going this week, Rosie?

It's going… ;) Lord willing, I will finish my verses on October 16th or 17th, and my study of Nahum on October 20th or 21st.
Are you almost done/done with your verses?! I know you wanted to try to finish this week!

Btw, I'm about to go; it's almost my turn for piano lessons. :P

Wonderful! Keep up the good work! Verses are going slower than I wish, but they are going. ;)

Alrighty! I can't really talk either. I'm working on verses. Talk to you later!

Yay! Welcome back! :D

X2

Hey Steve!! How are you? Are you going to be at nationals, do you know?

Hia! Better then I deserve xD

sniff I really don't think I will =( I really was wanting to…

Hia! Better then I deserve xD *sniff* I really don't think I will =( I really was wanting to...

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

That makes two of us…. :( :( ^crying quietly^

Hia! Better then I deserve xD *sniff* I really don't think I will =( I really was wanting to...

Aww, seriously? :(

Awww…. =/ That's too sad. :( I wish you could make it… it would be fun to meet you. =)

How's life been? What have you been up to recently?

Yeah…. I was so looking forward to going…. Am kicking myself that i didn't do better in locals.. cuz I know i would have come if I had made nats.. so just blame me for not coming. I know! I have all these ppl to meet!

Ah, it has been busy… Doing a lot of traveling to the UP, working, and trying to start school fully (yeah, i haven't fully started yet. what can I say when I don't have a mother at home right now and been traveling? lol) Hunting has just started in my state so I'm focused on that right now. Also hockey starts next month for me so I'm excited. How about you? What's a BBers life like?

No, you did you best, and that's what counts. I don't have to blame you for anything. =)

Sounds like you are staying busy! What grade of school are you in? What classes are you taking? Life has been really good, but extremely busy. What's a BBers life like? Well… I basically do BB studying 9+ hours a day, have meals, chores, voice practice, and then if I have free time I try to find stuff to do that I enjoy, but that time normally doesn't come. ;) The Lord has been teaching me so many things so it's been good, even though all the studying really wears me out. I go to bed each night extremely exhausted from the day's work. And what's funny, even though I spend SO much time studying each day, I still feel like I make so little progress on my to-do lists, because there are so many things to cover for BB!!!

And it is so sad… the weather is freezing over here, so I have to do my studying inside, when I used to do it outdoors. =/

I hope I did… What I'm still not happy about is that I felt like I understood the test but don't know where I went wrong. But anyways.. It's past and nothing can be done about it so I look forward to next year! xD

I'm a senior this year. Uh well, cough I'm kinda behind in all my subjects so I'm like cramming 11th and 12th grade together… whispers ^and also biology. Which I was suppose to take in 10th.^ Wowzers! In light of what you do I feel like I'm not busy at all… lol! You have voice lessons? That's cool! Huh, Now I wonder if it's a good thing I didn't make it… jk! That's great tho, about spending so much time in the Bible. It's why I think everyone should do bb.. It's amazing what you learn! I can't imagine how much you learn in nats… haha! I bet. Do you have your verses done? What do you have left to get done before nats?

Aww, =/ that stinks.. it would be so fun to study outside! How cold is it now?

Hey! I know the feeling of thinking I understand the test, but still not doing that good at it… it seems like each year I understand it more, but my scores never increase the way I like them to. ;)

Anddddd…. I understand the feeling of cramming school. When I started BB the first year (my first year of high-school) I got really far behind, and had to do catch-up all 4 years of high-school, so I know what you mean. =/ Not fun, but that's what happens sometimes. Yeah, I stated taking them about 1-2 months ago… really enjoying it so far! And yes… I'm learning so much, I'm trying to keep a log of all the stuff that I learn that can directly apply to my life, but it's hard, because there is SO much! Yes, I finished my verses on Monday, and now I'm trying to work on perfecting them, which isn't too much. Well, I'm trying to study the content of all the junior and primary verses, and the context of the senior verses, and then I'm also doing a small minor prophet study over all the prophets to get a feel of their books… and I have to finish learning all the stuff about Nahum. So basically, I have lots left to do.

Well. Since you live in MI, this probably won't seem cold, but it's been getting in the 40's, which to me, is freezing… since I'm a person who like 90+ degree weather. =D

Thanks! I'll check it out when I have some time!!

Bethany! Please tell Carissa I got her letter… I think it must have been lost in the mail for a while. I sent her a letter a few days ago, but I will reply to this one next week (after the graduation party). I will also try to call her the 18th if I can.

And I will write you back when I write her! Sorry, I had forgotten you wrote me last… get back with you soon! hugs
