The Pursuit

Seeking to fill my heart
Began an innocent start

Longing for needs to be filled
Only temporarily thrilled

Chasing after my ideal
Avoiding facing the real

Falling into the snare
Quickly led to despair

Crying "God, are you there?"
Was my desperate prayer

Amazing love rescused me
Paid the price to set me free

Gazing at Calvery's cross
Where Jesus bore my sin and loss

Pursuing me as His own
My Father's love is shown

Capturing my devotion
Healing my emotion

Liberating truth is mine
Freeing me to shine

Declaring to everyone
"Come to the Son!"

Preparing as an eager bride
To forever reign at His side

Another poem. It is from "In Pursuit of the Ideal." What do you think of it?

Fun with markers and the Juricks!

I did Seth and Noah's face, too!
I did Alina's face twice. The first one says something at the bottom of her face. If you can read it then you might get a prize! It looks like she got shot in the head and its bleeding!


Alina did my face with markers...what am I supposed to be?








I drew on myself to look like a cat or something.

Me and Noah! He is so cute!
I did Jeremiah's face. I have know idea why I put random things on his face but I did. Sorry Jeremiah!

Braces

I went to the orthadontist today at 9:00. I'm getting braces next thursday... that would be the...19th. I had a consultation, xrays, mold of my teeth, and spacers put in today. It all took an hour and 40 minutes. Yea.

The Panther

The panther is like a leopard,
Except it hasn't been peppered.
Should you behold a panther crouch,
Prepare to say OUCH.
Better yet, if called by a panther,
Don't anther.

This is a poem I had to read in literature. Its by Ogden Nash. Yea. What do you think of it?

Church wasn't very fun except for Sunday school. Valerie was gone and Alina went away to her grandmas house with her mom! I tried to sit with Bekah, Julia, Beccah, Charolatte, and Betsy but I didn't feel comfortable at all cause their all older then me. Plus I had to go up stairs and help my mom with children's church, Bekah W. came up and helped too. Normally this would be fun, but my mom and I didn't know it was our week for children's church cause we never got a schedule! So we had Felecia, Joanna, and Drew (Mr. Ryans son) watch a movie about David and Goliath, and draw a picture of it, and learn a song about it. My mom normally brings a flannel graph with her to tell story's with, but of course we didn't know it was our week until it was time to go up for children's church to start. We saw our names in the bulletin. So thats how my Sunday went pretty much.
