The Book of Proverbs

Last month, for each day I read one chapter of Proverbs in my Bible. The book of Proverbs speaks of wisdom and why we should desire it. Proverbs 1:7 says,"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instructions."

There is a difference between knowledge an wisdom, wisdom is understanding how to use our knowledge. Proverbs speaks of the benefits of wisdom, in Proverbs, Solomon personifies wisdom as a female who cries in the streets to reach out to people. 

"The purpose of Proverbs is to teach people wisdom and discipline, to help them understand the insights of the wise." Proverbs 1:1

SAT Practice Test

My brother and I took another SAT practice test two weeks ago. I was surprised by my grades, I definitely improved. The first time I took the test I made a score of 1005, the last test I took was 1254. I am very proud of myself. I have improved very much. I really am grateful that I have this opportunity to take practice test. Not many people can take practice test, many children just go and take the test and others probably don't understand how to take the test. I am so grateful I have a mother who take the time to teach my brother and I, I thank for God for blessing me for a mother that sacrifices her time to teach. She is my role model.

SAT Practice

The last few days my brother, mother and I have been practicing for the SAT Test we are next year. My brother and I have been taking practice tests just so that we can feel how long we will be taking the test.
   The test is 3 hrs and maybe 45 min. So far our grades are great for a seventh going on eight grader. My mother says the highest score to past is 1500, I made a score of 1203on the first test, but I will do so much better. We didn't really have test taking strategies, so we sometimes guessed on problems. At first I thought my brother and I weren't ready for this test because some of the problems on the test were complicated, then my mom told me that this is a test to see how much you know. Last Saturday we took the test again I made a higher score, I scored 200. Although we are getting better and better and definitely more prepared.

Devotion # 3

August 2, 2010

Questions:  What happened in the Great Flood?
 
In this devotion we discussed the flood God sent to destroy the earth. Read and learn what learned about the flood.

What happened in the Great Flood?
     God will punish, bless, forgive, and supply. The day Adam and Eve sinned, every child they had were sinners. The moment the world fled with people, the world fled with sinners. People were so wicked in their doing. The Lord was furious, so He choose a man named Noah to do something great. God instructed him to build an ark, because of Noah's obedience God  saved Noah and his family. God made a rainbow to show that he would not destroy the earth with water. Next time God will destroy the earth with fire.

It's snowing!

On Sunday December12 my family and I went to the movies to see Narnia : The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. When we walked out of the theater, it was snowing. We all enjoyed the snow. It was 30 degrees, so the snow didn't stick.


Hope you have a blessed and most beautiful holiday.

Deliberation and Decision

On Sunday 7, 2010, my pastor Bishop Bronner preached on deliberating and the meaning.

 Verses : Joshua 9:15

 Deliberation is true wisdom when you realize what the future consequences are of your current decision. With every decision you make, there are consequences. When you are in a situation and have to make a big decision ALWAYS I mean ALWAYS deliberate with God and ask Him what should you do. Also, when making a big decision take a nap. If a man asks for your hand in marriage, take a nap and rest . Ask and DELIBERATE with God, say," is this your will for me." Seek the counsel of God. Your decision will only be as good as your information.  Sometimes when you make the correct decision, you will feel as if you made the wrong decision. I remember three years ago I was in fourth grade(I was in public school), the boy in my class was so cute I thought he liked me. During Valentines week , he asked me if I liked him. He also asked my best friend if she like him, and he would give her his lunch money, if she said yes. Some kids told the teacher what happened, my teacher asked my friend if it was true. I didn't want to tell because he was so cute. I didn't want him to think I was a snitch(a tattle tale). The day before, mom and I were talking about that boy and we were talking for a long time. While the teacher asked me to tell the truth, I remembered the talk dad, mom,and I discussed. I told the truth, but I felt horrible with the friendship with him. Even if I made the right decision. Every decision you make, there is a consequence.

When you make a decision.........DELIBERATE WITH GOD!!


God Bless

Devotion # 1

Today I will start posting all my devotions from my home school.

July 28,2010

   Questions: What happened in the Garden of Eden?
                      How does that effect us today?

In today's devotion we discussed about Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Everything God created was good, including man. Adam and Eve were made in the image of God. Adam and his wife were free to do anything they pleased, the had power over everything. There was one thing God told them specifically not to touch, the tree of life. 

What happened in the Garden of Eden?:
      One day a serpent cane to Eve and tempted her to eat the fruit of the tree. After Eve had ate of the fruit, she gave it to Adam , her husband, and ate of it. After they ate of the fruit they acknowledge their sin, and hid from God. God asked them and gave them a chance to tell the truth if they had eaten of the tree. Yet they blamed each other.

How does that effect us today?:
      God cast them out of the garden, and told them they had cursed their generation of children with sin. That effects us today because we are born of sin, and evildoers. I thank God that he sent his son to die for us, and cleanse us from our sins.

It's My Birthday!

I am now 12  years today. I remember yesterday before today I was so happy now it's my b-day. I am not as happy as I was cause now I'm 12. 12 Years ago I was in a diaper saying Dada as my first word. The years go by so fast. 

A Truthful Speech

“Why do we sleep in church, But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why is it so hard to talk about God,
but so easy to talk about gross things?
Why are we so bored when we look at a Christian magazine,
but find it easy to read Playboy?
Why is it so easy to ignore a Godly myspace bulletin,
yet we repost the nasty ones?
Why are churches getting smaller,
but bars and clubs are expanding?
Why is it so easy to purchase beer and drugs?
But so hard to donate 25 cents for a Charity?
Why is it so easy to worship a Celebrity,
but very difficult to engage with God?
Why do people laugh at you for being religious,
but praise you for thinking dirty and vain?
Think about it, are you going to repost this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you’ll get laughed at?
80 % of you won’t repost this.
[Jesus] said: ‘If you deny Me in front of your friends,
I will deny you in front of my Father.’
96% of people WON’T stand up for God…
Put this on your profile if you’re one of the 4% who will, cause I am"

Home School

We have been changing things up a bit these last few weeks. My family and I have been coming up with schedules. Before we created a schedule, we used wake at 7:00am or whenever we want, but now we agreed to wake up at 6am in the morning. I like this new schedule because we are responsible for a task that we must complete, there's always something to do. Mama has been coming up with the school schedules. She has created a syllabus for my siblings and I to follow. so whenever she is at her desk trying to assign work, we don't have to sit and wait for to give us something else. Now we are on a roll. God is giving us such creative things to do. My favorite part in the morning is waking up and thanking the Lord for a new day, and waiting for devotion to begin.

 P.S it's been a while since I have blogged, but I'll try to stay in touch.

"If you know God placed us on this earth and if you know that he wants us to take care of it. Then why forsake it when he has never forsaken us?" - Anonymous


Last week my family and I went to Vacation Bible School at Crossroads Presbyterian Church. Their theme this  year was Step Up and Go Green For Jesus!. All week we discussed how we can conserve energy, and other things dealing with the earth. To be honest, I am not the type of person who talks about, the earth and save the planet or mother nature. It's not in my interest, until learned the verse. Genesis 2:15 "And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." I was quick to judge and didn't wait to find out what I was in for. One of the teens in the church made this awesome statement. "If you know God placed us on this earth and if you know that he wants us to take care of it. Then why forsake it when he has never forsaken us?" I learned that the average aluminum an American uses can make ALL the parts of an airplane. That means we use alot of aluminum, and just in ONE day. I learned alot of cool stuff. Now at home we are trying to conserve energy at home by avoiding simple things such as not leaving the water on when brushing your teeth, and turning of the lights when you don't need them, use the sunlight.

Camp Westminster

Well, I am leaving to go to camp today for a week and I know that I will have fun and rejuvenate and renew. All weekend my sisters kept asking me why was I packing, They said they were going to miss me, when ever I caught them doing something wrong, they would say,"Fine Go to Camp, I won't miss you." Now that I am leaving today, they are saying," I am really going to miss you," My two sisters are adoring and funny, but that doesn't mean they don't give me a hard time. I am going Camp Westminster, Westminster is a Christian Camp and the best camp I've been to. I have been going to this camp for two years. I first went to camp when I was nine or ten I don't remember, but the camp I went to was named Camp Winshape. Winshape was an awesome camp, but I didn't get that camp experience. The girls at Winshape slept in a princess palace. It was like living in a dormitory with cabin mates. Here at Westminster we have bugs creeping around and hike and rocks to climb, a lot of cool stuff. I will not be online for a week. I will check my blog when I get back, after I settle  but I will have an AWESOME time at camp.

Fun with the Fam

My family came over for a couple of days, and we had a blast. I was so excited to see my cousins, we hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they arrived, we were surprised that she brought a puppy named Buttons, because of her eyes. We love puppies so much. Dogs are my favorite animals, my dad says that they're allot of work. We had so much fun while they were here. My cousin helped me pick out some clothes for when I go to camp next week. It is sad to see them go this morning, but I think of all the fun we had. I'm so used to calling Buttons' name that I keep calling it thinking that she will come. lol

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Sometimes I ask myself, "what do I want to be when I grow up." Mostly young girls would say, " I want to be a singer." My mom always told me you can be a singer right now, it doesn't matter who you sing to, you just sing. I believe her, she is right. I many choices of what I want to be. My choices are becoming a lawyer or an engineer, I can make good money and I would like to be one of them. When I was younger I said I would do hair, or become famous, or paint nails. Now I change my mind, I am already a designer, I have many hobbies, but I'm really talking about a job.


What your desires are when you grow up?

Parents

Why did God give us parents?

I'll tell you why, because we need someone to show us the way we are supposed to go. When we are born, we're not grown-ups, we are children. Our parents were placed here before us. That's why they know more then we do, thank God for your parents and give your parents thanks for loving you enough to take care of you.  Some parents have children and send them to foster care, that could have been a blessing.  She probably wasn't ready to have and care for a child. And God placed you with someone who would show you which path to take and teach you right from wrong.


So I leave you with,

Thank God for your parents, obey them, honor them, bless them.
~God Bless

Enjoying the Day!

Hey!, Just got back from the mall with my mother and sisters after shoe shopping. Now I'm sitting here watching The Brady Bunch with my family. I love this show, the only shows allowed in my family are the shows that were playing back in the day. I am excited about the fact that I am spending quality time with mommy. We are shopping and I think she is accepting the fact that I am a little lady and I am growing up to be a woman of God.

Well that's what I've been doing. Have a blessed day! :)

"Don't Give Up"

I myself have learned not to give up on God, because he won’t give up on me. He can deliver me from anything that will harm me. Not just me I’m talking about everyone who truly seeks God’s face. God wants us to believe in him and follow him, but won’t just say “bow down to me I am your God.” No God doesn’t work like that, he gives us free will.

     Free will means the ability to act or make choices as a free as you want. God will let you become Satan’s child, or become a disciple of Christ. It is your choice. I chose to be a follower of God. I won’t give, God called me to minister and preach, and bring people toward his kingdom. Many are called few are chosen. I am chosen my older brothers and sister were called but I wanted to answer. So God has blessed me so much. So don’t give up on God, and he won’t give up on you.  






                                God says in the Bible “For I know the plans I have for you.”
Many believers have been through heartache and plan to give up on God. The thing is that God gives us difficulties in life, that doesn’t mean he isn’t watching you. If you continue to pray to God he soon will answer your prayers. If you fast or consecrate, you are waiting for him to do something magnificent. Sometimes what happen to other people, might  not happen to you. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
 Some things about him is a total mystery. That doesn’t mean we can just fail, so Don’t Give Up!

Random thoughts

Yesterday, while I was going to piano class I started to think about the spiritual gifts God gives us. I wonder what gift will God give me  healing, prophecy, tongue (well I already have tongue), interpertation,and so on. So I ask mama and she said she believes I have the gift of healing(that's because I would message my grandma's hand they were hard and rough grandma called back when flew home and said the roughness was gone(I didn't believe her until she came again they were smooth)I'm convince I have the gift of healing.I never thought God would give us gift he's a pretty awesome God. Don't  you think.
