His Servant

I notice that you hide about a lot of things when you tell me, actually. I really don't care if you say it again, because I told you to. XD

I hide when I do/say something that is intentionally designed to potentially frustrate, if only in a playful way. ;)

What do you think I'd do if you didn't hide? :) Just curious. xD

I dunno, I've just formed a habit out of it… I guess it's just a way of saying, "I know what I just said is potentially irksome, but it was meant to be that way, and I'm just doing it to be funny." I know you wouldn't respond badly or anything. ;)

I know. I'm just giving you a hard time. I really don't mind that you do it. It's actually quite funny to me. XD

Okay. x)

As a random thing for you to know: we somehow ended up with one of your playing cards. I'll try to remember to send it, next time I send something to Rosie.

Lol, that's hilarious. It must have gotten mixed up when we were playing Spoons/Pens.

I think so. Probably too hurried that Saturday night. And we still have your ball and Frisbee… doubt those will fit in the envelope, or I'd send them too. ;)

I think so. Probably too hurried that Saturday night. And we *still* have your ball and Frisbee...

XD That's right. It's totally fine.

Oh, sort of on that subject, want to hear something ironic? So I let you keep my systematic theology book for a few more months… and then I get home and hear from a young man at the church that he's starting a study on the book. And I'm invited because he knows I have the book. XDDD He had actually mentioned it a few months back, but I totally forgot about it, and apparently they did the first few chapters one Saturday that we were in Florida. So now they're ready to do Chapter 4, and I'd like to do it, too, but I don't have the book! XD

But the guy sent me a link to a PDF online, so I have it on my Kindle now, which is almost even better. So please don't feel bad! I'm glad you get to use it over the next six months. ;)

You've got to be kidding me! Gah. Wow. Such bad timing! And I hauled it all the way to FL, and had to carry it around for a whole week! XD Are you sure? Because before you e-mailed and said it was fine to keep, my dad said we could ship it if you wanted it back…?

No, it's totally fine. Keep it. You will probably use it more than I would. The Kindle version is more convenient to have for taking to a study, anyway. ;) Enjoy!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it! It's cool… we'll be going through it the same time, so if I ever talk about something in it specifically, you'll now really know what I'm talking about! Also, now I can say to you - if you ever find something really neat in it, you can tell me about it!

Very true! I will keep that in mind. =)

Good!

Congratulations again, Bethany, on your final score!!! What a strong way to end!! The Lord truly rewarded all of your hard work and efforts! I knew you'd do well. XD

Thanks so much, Rosie! And same to you…you did an excellent job! Even when you didn't have much time to study. Very impressive. :) You were definitely a good example to me!

I'm blown away…it was so undeserved. ^Especially my test score!!!^ And the fact that I had so little time to prepare proves to me even more that is was all God. After Zephaniah, do you have any plans for memorization?

Yes, most definitely. I'm starting a list of stuff I want to memorize, and so far I have Luke 13 (my KC Scriptorium chapter) 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 and Romans 4. After I finish studying Zephaniah, I'm moving into Hosea, probably. What about you? =)

Those are some great goals!! Well, last year, I started on James…had to stop unexpectedly. So I decided I'd start over - considering I already know a large majority of it, it shouldn't take me long. Then I hope to memorize 2nd and 3rd John, since I already have 1st John memorized. I also hope to memorize Psalm 77 and some other chapters in Psalms.

Bethany, where did you place?? I hear you did really well! ;)

She did!!! :D

Sounds good! Wow. I really like Psalm 77! I just read it the other day. =] What Psalms have you been reading recently?

29th! The best I've ever done! I was so shocked! XD Praise the Lord!

Yes, I absolutely love Psalm 77! It really highlights what has been on my mind lately. I'm on Psalm 84 today.

I read Psalm 81-82 today, I believe. We actually just studied Psalm 77 last night for Bible time, so it's fresh on my mind too. Such good Truth found in it. And so applicable to life…

Wow!!! So close! Awesome job!

Thank you, among other things, for the excerpt from the devotional on Romans 4 you sent me today. It was extremely encouraging – even more so than I anticipated it being – and I really needed it. It was very thoughtful of you to type it up for me. =)

You're welcome. It did the same with me… really encouraged and challenged me. Which was cool. Because that day I prayed that the Lord would really encourage me from something in the devotionals I read. And. I had just been thinking about the topic of faith and believing the Lord for great things. So it was timely for me as well. Glad it helped you.

Just saw your blog post today, Bethany, and…decided to have some fun with my profile pic. xD

I like the pictures, Rosie. xP

I commented on your profile the other day, in response to last your comment, jsyk.

Hey! You're on! xD

Hey Bethany! I emailed Crissa the music to the Sabre Dance. =)
Oh, where you still gonna send your bb pics? If not that's fine.

Thanks so much!

O.O. Oh, dear… wow, I'm really late on that. =/ You know… I've pretty much posted all the good ones on my blog - rejoicingevermore.blogspot.com If you wanted, and don't mind… you could see them there? Or, do you still want me to send them? Because I can… I'm SO sorry!

Haha! That's totally fine.
Nah, not at all :) I'll look at them there, thanks! No need to go to the trouble of emailing.

Hmmm… I just checked out the website and it had no posts and it was under someone names Leanna.. It was basically a empty page.

The address is http://www.rejoicing-evermore.blogspot.com

I think she forgot to put the hyphen in the address the first time.

Duh. Wow. I can't even get my own blog address right.

Thanks for pointing that out, Christian. facepalm

Lol, no problem. ;)

Haha!! xD

Thanks Christian!

That's so awesome. XD

Similar things happen around our house all the time – especially since our parents know Bethany's signature word. =P

shakes head sadly It's so sad that your mom uses that dreadful word! :P

Noooo. It isn't. It's awesome. I can't tell you how much it totally made my day to find that out!! XD

It makes me so happy to know there are other people out there who like my word! XD And that your mom likes it, makes me even more happyyyy. =]

Bethany's on!! xD
