Haha. You'll get used to it. It was my fourth year before I really started crying every time Bible Bee ended. xP

Why is that good??
I don't know. It just feels good to cry sometimes though. xP

Glad to have a guy who agrees with me - I thought I was the only one! xP

Haha! We watched part of the Opening Ceremony last night, and you and I are just standing next to each other wiping our eyes. It was kind of funny! :)

Yeah, that was me last year. Since this was my second year in Semis, I halfway expected to get there, but it was still an emotional experience.

Yes, I thought you would be in semis :). And I wasn't surprised when they called Delie right before me (especially with the glitch and getting written scores). But when he said, "Anna M—", wow… :) And then of course I had to cry for all my friends who made it, too! :D

I really want to, but there are two major problems.
1- I live in Minnesota, and it has been in southern states the past 4 years.
2- If I really want to go, it would be a good idea to compete. I have in the past, but not the past two years. I am very strongly considering competing next year thou!

Yes, that was soooo neat =D

Hi Anna! We got to congratulate your sister Delie on her win! We didn't see you with her at the time, but you did pretty awesome too! ;D

Oh, what's your name? (unless you prefer to not put that on the internet)

Our account is for us – the youngest four kids in our family – the oldest is Danae, then Daniqua (I do most of the typing), then there's Danyel Ezekiel, and Danyelle. Danyel Ezekiel did not attend Nationals with us.

Yeah, I really want to, and think I will! The last few years have been a combination of being discouraged from my 2013 scores and all the changes in the last two years. But, I'm ready to give it another shot! ;)

I'll try to send some pics real soon, Rachel. =) Awww *cries with you* :'( (I've really been crying this morning)

Just whenever you have time =) Thanks.

Aww, don't cry, please. :( tears up Although I understand why you are, because I've done some crying too this morning. :'(

Becauseeeeeee!!!!!! It's sad to leave good friends thousands of miles away! :'( And plus, with this being my final year, it's sad because I'm done as a contestant forever, and that has been the highlight of my year for the past 5 years. =/ It's a chapter of life closing. :(

^directed towards Gloria, but for some reason I quoted Matthew's comment, lol^

Don't give up! The first year that I did Bible Bee, I was 315th. That was pretty discouraging, but God has shown me a lot of grace.

Dance4Him

Thanks, yeah totally! I actually had gotten 158, then 116, so it was really discouraging to get 486th the next year. But I think I'm ready to try again, especially being more mature and doing it for reasons other than to win.

46ebbbfa6be61e25feb8e61dfb37cff1?s=128&d=mm

M27

I understand. It seems like everything always happens the opposite of how I expect for Bible Bee :). I guess that God is teaching me that He is completely in control. Last year, I really wanted to be in semis and thought I stood a chance, but was still about fifty points away. Then this year, I hardly even imagined that I would be in semis, and God was so gracious to me! He is sovereign over it all and plans it exactly the way that will bring the most glory to Him.

Do you mean that you learned it by literally almost dying, or is that just an expression or something???

I have not payed homage to the king of Memverse. Therefore I am not required to follow your laws, unless you make one saying that.
