This past week

Well, this past week has been . . . interesting! I would like to say it was the best week of my life, because my awesome best friend, Joy, was here. But, so not so good things happened in the week that put a damper on it. It was still a very good week though! I loved my visit with Joy, and was glad to be able to have a lot of good long chats with her. I love her to death and am so glad she was able to come! It rained quite a bit during the week so we weren't able to go outside much, but we rented some movies and talked a lot. Saturday through Monday were spent talking, visiting, and watching Pride and Prejudice. On Tuesday night, we went to the Karate belt test, in which Danny and Nick participated, though I did not. My whole family and Joy came to take pictures and cheer them on. The boys both passed and are now blue belts. On Thursday Joy and I went to Franco's Pizza for lunch together, and got to spend some time alone with each other. Friday, her last whole day with us, was spent watching movies, talking and since it was sunny, playing outside. She and I went to the pool in the afternoon, but the water was so cold that we didn't swim. And since we forgot the sun lotion, we didn't stay any longer than an hour.

Today we had to take her to the airport, which was very sad. I am happy for the week we got to spend together though, and thank God and her parents, who sent her here as her graduation present, for that!
Now for what else happened this week that was not good! On Sunday night we got a call from my Aunt Jennifer, who said that my grandma had fallen, when at church. She had been trying to get to a little baby who had his fingers caught in a swinging door. She shattered her leg just below her hip, and broke both her collar bone and back. Needless to say, she is in a lot of pain. I pray that she will heal quickly and that God will ease her pain.

The other bad thing that happened, happened on Thursday. Danny and Nick were at Karate, Mom and Dad, and the kids were in bed, and Joy and I were watching 'Hot Lead And Cold Feet'.

Mom got up and told us that she was taking Dad to the Emergency Room, because he was really really dizzy, so dizzy that he could barely walk, his ears were plugged up, and he was throwing up. While they were getting shoes on(well, Mom was getting shoes on and poor Dad was throwing up in the bathroom) the boys arrived home. Danny helped dad to the car and Dad and Mom left. The doctor said that Dad had vertigo, and that it was probably caused from a virus. The kind of a jerk doctor also turned dad into the DMV, so that Dad had go to a doctor the next day so he could be cleared to drive. Thankfully, Dad is feeling fine now.

Jackson absolutely LOVED JOY and was so funny! He thought she was the best thing ever and followed her around constantly. He even climbed into bed with her! It was a week I will never forget and I loved it.

prayer requests and ramblings

Before I ramble on and on about stuff that interests no one but me, I have a couple of prayer requests.

One, for Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. Their five year old daughter was killed in a tragic accident. You can read more about it here http://www.stevencurtischapman.com/

Second for the Lockwood family, who are missionaries in Mexico. Mr. Lockwood was dianoised with cancer recently, and he is not doing to good. Please pray for him and his family. You can read more about them on their blog. http://lockwoodfamily.blogspot.com/

The past two weeks we have been sick with some kind of stomach virus. We are now just getting over it. THANKFULLY! I am very sick of being sick! And I really hope that we don't get sick again really soon because one of my best friends, who I have not seen in four years is flying out to California Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is staying with us for a week and I am VERY EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a totally different topic, I have decided this past week that I absolutly LOVE Paul Washer, and that the world needs more men like him. He says it like it really is, and though it hurts him to be so rejected by the people he speaks to, he does it because he wants to warn them away from hell. Jesus said that, 'If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (John 15: 18-17) Well, those who have listened to Mr. Washer speak hate him, and teens who went to hear him speak gnashed their teeth at him and waited outside to throw water balloons at him and his wife when they left. Yes, the world hates him but he will get his reward in heaven. Unlike Rick Warren, who is loved by the world, not hated, and teaches fasle doctrine. But, that is another post.

(didn't I tell you I was an oppionionated blogger? I know lots of baptists, and other people love him and think he's great. I think he's nothing more then a false prophet, who lies through his teeth. But I digress).

Yesterday night we went to AWANA for the last time this year. It was AWANA Awards Night, and was pretty neat. I am kinda sad that it is over, but I am also kinda glad. Life can slow down now; I hope!

I leave you with the lyrics to two songs which relate to me and my feelings.

The first:

Average Girl

by BarlowGirl

So what I'm not your average girl

I don't meet the standards of this world

Chasing after boys is not my thing

See I'm waiting for a wedding ring

No more dating

I'm just waiting

Like sleeping beauty

My prince will come for me

No more dating

I'm just waiting'

Cause God is writing my love story

Boys are bad that's certainly not true

'Cause God's preparing one for you

If you get tired waiting till he comes

Gods arms are the perfect place to run

Sleep that's the only thing

For me 'cause when I sleep God's

Preparing one for me.

The second:

Single

by Natasha Bedingfield

Ah yeah that's right

All you single people out there

This is for you

Yeah

I'm not waiting around for a man to save me('Cos I'm happy where I am)

Don't depend on a guy to validate me(No no)

I don't need to be anyone's baby(Is that so hard to understand?)

No I don't need another half to make me... whole

Make your move if you want

Doesn't mean I will or won't

I'm free to make my mind up

You either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]This is my current single status

My declaration of independence

There's no way I'm trading places

Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single(Right now)

That's how I wanna be

I'm single(Right now)

That's how I'm gonna be

Ah yeah uh huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good(I like who I am)

I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would

I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should(Can't romance on demand)

I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

[Repeat Chorus]

This is my current single status

My declaration of independence

There's no way I'm trading places

Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single(Right now)

That's how I wanna be

I'm single(Right now)

That's how I'm gonna be

I'm single(Right now)

That's how I wanna be

I'm single

Everything in it's right time

everything in its right place

I know I'll settle down one day

But 'til then I like it this way... it's my way

Yes I like it this way

Make your move if you want

doesn't mean I will or won't

I'm free to make my mind up

you either got it or you don't

'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status

My declaration of independence

There's no way I'm trading place

sRight now a star's in the ascendant

While I don't agree completely with this song, I do like the verses, just not the chorus.

bye for now.

Yours truly

Elizabeth Bennet

Paul Washer - Shocking Message (full length)

You GO Paul Washer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, Mr. Washer was never asked to speck at that place again, after his message. The world needs more godly men like Paul Washer!

Random things in my life lately

I know, I know, I haven't posted in a while. But, hey, I've been busy.

Jackson is SO cute. The other night, after his bath, he was sitting on dad's lap and driving his toy cars over Dad's head and up and down his shirt, and over his arms and back over his head through his hair, while making car noise's and making the cars crash. It was so amusing to watch! I love him so much and he's such a cutie pie. All day Friday he thought we were going to grandma's house too, and kept telling me about it and talking about grandma and he was really excited. I kept telling him that we weren't going to grandma's until tomorrow(Saterday) but he wouldn't listen. So Friday night, when mom put him to bed, he was so upset!

"I wanna go to gramma's" ! So mom called grandma, to let him say goodnight. She wasn't home so Jack left a message on her answering machine. She called back later, and Jack was still awake, so he got to say good night to her. It was so adorable.

Yesterday we went to my grandmas(I had to get up at 6:39!!!!) so the ladies of our family could go to a Mother's Day Brunch, at my grandparents church. Granma was the speaker. My Aunts and girl cousins came to. It was really cool. There was lots of food, which is a good thing, and we got to visit with family. Grandma's speach was really good too! I really liked it. It was on a cheerful heart. We had a good time, but Jackson almost ended the happy day. When we had arrived at grandma's, we had parked across the street. We had moved the car though and it was in the drive way. We were leaving Jackson thought that we were still parked across the street, and started running for the road. I was the only one that saw him and yelled for him to stop while I went after him. He, hearing me call him, of course ran faster. Well, a car was driving by at the same time he reached the road. The car was pretty close to Jack when he finally stopped. The poor lady driving the car stopped after passing him, and just sat there. I think she was crying and was upset. For a minute, I think she thought she had hit Jack. She drove off after a minute, but it scared her. Mom turned around after the car had passed Jack so she didn't have time to be scared. I, on the other hand, and watched him run for the street, heard the car coming and seen it out of the corner of my eye, and and ran after Jack screaching at him to stop. It freaked the living daylights out of me. Thank God that Jack wasn't hit!!!!!!!!!!

Nick, yesterday, went to a ham radio test. He passed with flying grades(he got 100% on his test) and is now another Ham. That makes five of us Hams in our house! GO NICK!

All in all I have had a good last couple of days, though Jackson scared me half to death. One of my best friends, Jane Bingley, started a blog of her own, called the Endless Rambles of a Christian Conservative Mind, http://erccm.blogspot.com/ , which is cool. And life has been good. So yeah! God is good! Well, I have to get off of the computer, and I am running out of things to say anyways, so I will end this with the lyrics to one of my favorite songs by Steven Curtis Chapman. I will post some pictures of Nick the ham, and of the brunch at the church soon.

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sittin' here wearin' the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin''
''Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I'd approve of a dress
She says "Dad, the prom is just one week away,
And I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song,
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone.

Well, she came home today
With a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says "Dad, the wedding's due six months awayAnd I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Ohh-oh ohh-oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don't wanna miss even one song, (even one song)
Cuz all to soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone

Note: Right after I wrote this post,(which was yesterday night) Jackson ran into the laundry room, wanting to go outside and see Dan. There was a clatter and then crying. He know has a eye that is turning black and bruising and a welt that streches from right next to his eye to across his cheek. He must have fell and hit right himself on something right next to his eye. God is good though, cause if Jacko had been hit less then an inch over he would be probably be at the hospital right now. Thank you Lord!

Now the poor baby has a really painful looking eye. It hurt's me to look at it. OWWWWW! He's alright no though.

America the Beautiful, Or so you used to be.
Land of the Pilgrims' pride; I'm glad they'll never see.


Babies piled in dumpsters, Abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty; Your house is on the sand.


Our children wander aimlessly Poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts,
When God has said abstain.


From sea to shining sea, Our Nation turns away
From the teaching of God's love And a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples, How callous we have grown.
When earth is but His footstool, And Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government that's rotting at the core,
Appointing Godless Judges Who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer In a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill a baby Before he leaves the womb.


You think that God's not angry, That our land's a moral slum?
How much longer will He wait Before His judgment comes?


How are we to face our God, From Whom we cannot hide?
What then is left for us to do, But stem this evil tide?


If we who are His children, Will humbly turn and pray;
Seek His holy face And mend our evil way:


Then God will hear from Heaven And forgive us of our sins,
He'll heal our sickly land And those who live within.



But, America the Beautiful, If you don't - then you will see,
A sad but Holy God Withdraw His hand from Thee.

~Judge Roy Moore~

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd.


If Scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now.


Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise.

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.


For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the state.


We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.


We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,

We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong.


We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.


It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot; My soul please take!

Amen

Various boring things

Yesterday at church, my pastor was preaching about the Lords strength and loving him with all our strength and how the Lords way of thinking is not ours. I love the verses that he gave.


6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my
Isaiah 55: 6-9

Anyway, yesterday night the girls in our family went to the CBU woman's choir concert at our church. It was really good. I, of course, had already spent money on a c.d from another group that came to our church not that long ago, so I couldn't afford a c.d, though I really wanted to. Oh, well.
Nick, Danny, and I have Karate lessons tonight. I am not looking forward to it. I like karate, but I am out of shape, and at lessons they have a lot of exercise. I know it's good for me, but, lets face it, I'm lazy. And I have to talk to people that are there. Being shy of people I don't know, I really don't like that part. But it's fun and it's good for me so. . .
Well, now that anyone who has bothered to read this boring post is sound asleep, I think I'll end it as I have nothing else to say. Nothing exiting has happened. Life is good. So, yeah. I'll shut up now.

My Cutie Pie

My Cutie pie, my clown, my baby brother!

I love ya Jacko!

An Older Brother
I think that every girl should
have an older brother,
to love and be loved by,
to defend and be defended by;
to be protected by
and to cherish and be cherished by.
An older brother does all
of that and more.
He offers sympathy when
your hurting,
He cheers you up when you are down.
Oh, older brothers are
wonderful things,
Sometimes not understood,
And often scorned.
It seems to me they
do not get
the credit and love they so
deserve.
I really think girls
that we should be
a little more appreciative
of the older brothers in our
lives.
My older brother means so much
to me,
He’s been so ever kind to
me,
I really think so much of him
and hope that you can say the same.

Minute Poetry
I wanted someone to hold me tight,
through my sunny days and darkest night.
Someone who wouldn’t go away
when my days went gray.
I found someone who holds me close,
through my sunny days and through my lows.
Someone who won’t depart,
when my darkest days tear at my heart.
I found this Someone in Jesus Christ,
He’s mended my heart, my Jesus Christ.
He’s given me hope and redemption as well,
He’s rescued me from the depths hell.

Silently she drifts away
no one notices and no one cares
it was their laughter that hurt her each day.
"I won’t care, I won’t cry" everyday she swears.
Love is all she really wants
But all she gets are people’s taunts.
So she hardens up her heart
no more will their stinging words smart.
She slips away further each day,
looking for a purpose, looking for love,
But no one cares and no one knows
and so love she is deprived of.
"She a gothic freak" is what they suppose.
And so of course, she, they oppose.
She’s losing ground.
If she cries, in her tears she will be drowned.
Jesus, bring that girl your light,
illuminate her life with you.
Show her that you’ll wash her white,
if she’ll just believe you’ll make her new.
Show her your gift of salvation
before she kills herself in desperation.
God bring use some one to reach her soon,
for if you don’t her hope will be hewn.

Jackson cheers me up when I’m blue
He’s so cute when he says, "dank oo"
He’s such a sweet little cherub.

I cried out to the Lord, He heard my heartache.

Now I am satisfied, joyful, contented,
My Lord is with me when hardships appear
My God will comfort me, He will protect me,
With Him beside me, I’ve nothing to fear

If you are weary, and heavily laden
Jesus stands ready with arms open wide.
Run to Him swiftly, oh, He will embrace you,

Jesus will rescue you

He’ll hear your plea and He’ll show you His grace
His love is constant, His mercy is boundless.
Jesus will rescue you, your sins erase.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Raoul Wallenberg

A Servants Heart

Raoul Wallenberg was born in 1912, to a wealthy and distinguished Swedish family. He was responsible for the deliverance and protection of over 100,000 Jewish lives, during the World War II slaughter. He was a bright light in the bottomless pit of darkness throughout Hitler’s appalling, horrifying massacre. At age thirty two, in 1944, Wallenberg, who at the time was a successful businessman, was appointed as the Second Secretary of the Swedish Legation in Budapest. His courage and determination was evident, as time after time he shoved his way past SS Officers, to hand out Swedish protective passes’ and Shultz passes, which he had created. These passes would protect the Jews from death. He pushed the Arrow Cross and SS soldiers around boldly and pulled Jews off of the trains headed for Auschwitz, who were packed in like animals. ‘He bluffed his way through," said Tom Lantos, one of Wallenbergs helpers, who accompanied him to the trains, "He had no official authorization. His only authority was his own courage. Any officer could have shot him to death. But he feared nothing for himself and committed himself totally. It was as if his courage was enough to protect himself from everything.” Wallenberg fearlessly put his life in danger to save the Jews. His love for people, selfless attitude, determination, and faith in Christ truly made him a Man Of Courage and gave him a servant’s heart. In January 1945, Adolph Eichmann ordered a entire massacre in the largest ghetto, where thousands of Jews, most whom Wallenberg himself had saved earlier, lived. Wallenberg, receiving word of the massacre, sent a message through an ally Arrow Cross soldier, to General Schmidthuber, the sole person who could cancel the slaughter, telling him that he would be held personally responsible for the massacre, and would be hanged as a war criminal after the war was over. General Schmidthuber listened and canceled the Pogrom. More then 70,000 Jewish lives were saved that day, on account of Wallenberg’s courage. Two days later, the Russians arrived, and discovered 97,000 Jews in Budapest’s two Jewish ghettos. All in all, 120,000 Jews were left in Budapest after the Nazi extermination in Hungary. After the Russians arrived, on January 13th, Wallenberg turned himself in to them, explained who he was, and asked to meet with Soviet marshall Malinovsky, to make arrangements to help the thousands of Jews who were left without food and other necessities of life. After being interrogated for four days, he received permission, and he and his main chauffeur, Vilmos Langfelder, were escorted to Malinovsky by a carful of Russian officers. Neither man was ever seen again in the free world. It is assumed that they spent the rest of their lives in a Soviet prison. Though the Russians claim he died of a heart attack in 1947, witnesses tell a different story. Prisoners released after 1947, testify to having seen Wallenberg in various Russian prisons in the Soviet Union for many years after his so called death of a heart attack. In 1957, personal doctor of Maj Von Dardel, Dr. Nanna Svartz, attended a conference in Moscow, Russia. While there, she met a Russian colleague, Dr. Alexander Miasnikov, and asked him privately if he knew anything about Wallenberg. He admitted to her that he did and confidentially said that Wallenberg was in extremely poor condition and in a mental hospital. Dr. Svartz was elated to hear that Wallenberg was alive, and pursued the matter with the Swedish government, who contacted Soviet officials on the issue. But the Russian premier emphatically denied the accuracy of the statement, and insisted that Raoul Wallenberg had died of a heart attack in 1947. Dr. Miasnikov told Dr. Svartz afterwards that she shouldn’t have reported his comments to the Swedish officials. He died suddenly in 1965 of an alleged heart attack. Wallenberg willingly served others all his life, whether it was working in a soup kitchen, finding milk powder for a young mother and her child, or making important phone calls to government officials. He worked twenty hours a day, getting only four hours of sleep most nights. He truly lived to serve and help others. Full of humility, courage, compassion, and love, this man is an example to all. He was a light in the darkness, an Angel of Mercy, a man of great courage, a man with a servant’s heart. He was Raoul Wallenberg.

"Here is a man who had the choice of remaining in secure, neutral Sweden when Nazism was ruling Europe. Instead, he left this haven and went to what was then one of the most perilous places in Europe. And for what? To save Jews. He won this battle and I feel that in this age when there is so little to believe in - so very little on which our young people can pin their hopes and ideals - he is a person to show the world, which knows so little about him. That is why I believe the story of Raoul Wallenberg should be told ..." - Attorney Gideon Hausner, chairman of Yad Vashem and Prosecutor of Adolf Eichmann

He was like a Moses from the north, who came to us in the most terrible days. His noble and courageous deeds truly shone like a bright light in that abysmal darkness. Just remembering his goodness and his sacrifice for our sake, somehow helped to heal my own emotional and spiritual wounds.~A Jewish woman who was one of the many people Wallenberg rescued~

First Post

Well, here is my very first post. On my first blog. Now all I need to figure out is something to write. Let me begin by telling a little bit about myself. I am a Christian and follower of Christ. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that salvation is a free gift through Jesus Christ, to anyone who will believe. I am the daughter to godly parents, and sister to six siblings. I am very opinionated and am not really afraid of offending someone just because of my views, beliefs, and convictions, so if you don’t agree with me and are easily offended, you probably won’t want to read my blog; ‘cause I give my opinion rather freely.
Anyway, I have been home schooled all my life and am very thankful that my parents made the decision to home school me and all my siblings. I am also very thankful that my mother is a stay at home mom and keeper and guarder of the home. I am thankful she refused to follow the feminist reasoning and doctrine and instead obeyed God; I love my mom and dad, and thank the Lord for them everyday.
I am a lady against feminism and against birth control and abortion. I am a keeper at home in training. Well, that pretty much covers it for right now.

Hmm. . . pretty much all of my family is sick with some kind of stomach virus. The only one completely well is Mom. (Thankfully) Everyone else is sick. YUCK! Some of us have been sick for quite a while too. (Like me) But I’ll live.

To make this post just a bit more interesting here are a some pictures. The first one is of the my baby brother Jackson hanging out with his 'friends', the second of Joey, Me, Jackson, Samantha, and Rebecca, and the third of Dad, Nick, Danny and Jackson again.
