We recently had VBS at our church, where we focused on Proverbs. Here are a few of the verses the kids memorized!
          
          Listen to counsel and receive instruction that you may be wise in your latter days.  Proverbs 19:20
          
          Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
          
          Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat it's fruit. Proverbs 18:21
          
          Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established.  Proverbs 16:3
          
          Just think about what these are saying! The nice thing about Proverbs is that they are very practical and it is easier to apply to your own life.  The first verse is saying to listen to counsel, don't always rely on yourself. Have ears that hear. The second one is saying to Trust in the Lord. That is especially practical now, and very important. We have a rock that is trustworthy. So trust Him!  The third verse is talking about your tongue. Words of Death and words of Life are in the power of your tongue. You can either build others up or tear them down. What will you do?  The third verse is saying do everything for God. Commit your works to Him. Give Him the glory. 
          
          Some food for thought! I challenge you to think and pray on this for the next week!

Sorry I haven't done anything in a while... It's kind-of nice to take a break here or there. My next plan is to re-edit all of the chapters, and maybe add in a few characters or details where necessary. Thank you so much for staying with me!!

Here is some encouragement for you all, read it slowly, and meditate on what David is saying about God in times of trouble. This is especially important right now with everything going on, and we need to TRUST in the LORD!!
          
          Psalm 27
          The LORD is my light and my salvation; 
          Whom shall I fear?
          The LORD is the stronghold of my life; 
          Of whom shall I be afraid?
          
          When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh,
          My adversaries and foes, 
          It is they who stumble and fall. 
          
          Though an army encamp against me, 
          My heart shall not fear;
          Though war rise against me, 
          Yet I will be confident.
          
          One thing have I asked of the LORD, 
          That will I seek after:
          That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
          To gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in His temple.
          
          For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble;
          He will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
          He will lift me high upon a rock.
          
          And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, 
          And I will offer in His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; 
          I will sing and make melody to the LORD.
          
          Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; 
          Be gracious to me and answer me!
          You have said, "Seek my face."
          My heart says to you,
          "Your face, LORD, do I seek."
          
          Hide not your face from me. 
          Turn not your servant away in anger,
          O you who have been my help. 
          Cast me not off; forsake me not,
          O God of my salvation!
          For my father and my mother have forsaken me, 
          But the LORD will take me in.
          
          Teach me your way, O LORD,
          And lead me on a level path because of my enemies.
          Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
          For false witnesses have risen against me, 
          And they breathe out violence. 
          
          I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD 
          In the land of the living!
          Wait for the LORD;
          Be strong, and let your heart take courage;
          Wait for the LORD!

Hey Guys, I'm working on editing my story (yet again) before I get back into writing. I know there's a lot of stuff going on in the world - but remember: We need to be LIGHTS in this DARKNESS. We know that God is Sovereign, and because of that, we don't have to worry about anything.  There's lots of Bible verses I could use to prove that point, but I don't have time.... Some of you may have boring schedules, and no school - but I'm homeschooled, so not a lot changes... Anyway, I really need to go. BYE!!

We're doing well, how about you?

@JJ_2_0 Yesssss!!!! It's awesome that there are other homeschoolers on here. I had volleyball last night with other homeschoolers, but with all of this Covid-19 stuff, our tournament has been cancelled, and we have no more practices until further notice. It really stinks!!

Ok guys, so just to explain what's been going on - I've been trying to get chapters in the correct order. I had published the first 10 or 11 chapters, and then realized that I had a huge hole in the schedule. I fixed that, but I messed up the chapter order, and have been trying to get it put back together. There is a new chapter, but it needs some re-editing, so don't judge too harshly... 
          Thank you guys for your patience while I try to get this book going. 
          
          And, I wanted to give a shout-out to @booklover50025. She is so dedicated to her books, and is already on the second one! She is such a talented writer, and clearly devoted to it (I am not either of those). So go check out her and her Tir Na Nog book series!!

Today is a big day - be in prayer for the people at the March For Life in Washington D.C. Pray that they would be influential to our government and out culture. Pray that they won't be too cold, and that they all had safe travels, will have safe travels back, and that they won't be too sleepy:)
          
          Choose Life!

That’s awesome. I didn’t get to go, or actually watch anything because I was at camp, but that’s awesome! Were you there?
