Hey you guy's I just wanted to make sure everyone who was reading my blog was also reading

My mother's and
my sister's

Yesterday I am so happy I got to talk to my best friend on the phone. Her family is wonderful! She is such an encouragement. My youngest sister who is 7 month has started pulling herself up into a standing position  , I can not decide if this is good or not...Soon she will be walking all over the place. She has been crawling for a while, and sitting herself up. It was rather funny yesterday when she was fussy so my mother put her into the crib. She stopped crying so when assumed she was asleep, but when my mom went back into the room she was standing in the crib. As I type this she is pulling herself up on my desk chair.

I love my family! I am so thankful God has given me a home filled to the rim with joy.  To me there is truly no place like home. Sometimes my sinful nature peeks out and I do not want anything to do with my wonderful family. I wish I could just wake up one day and be perfect! We all know that's not going to happen.

Last thing before I go brush my teeth. If any one out there who reads my blog likes cross stitching you have to check out this site :)...

 Time seems to go by so quickly! This school year did not seem to last very long. We are not completely done yet but now as I look back at the last three years of High School I am amazed. When I started I was sure it would take forever to finish. Now I have only one year left! God has really brought me to Himself through these last three years. When I started High School I wanted to go to public school. My parents said okay and for ninth grade I was very distant from my beloved family. High School was a lot of fun, but I was not pushed very hard, and I did not like the attitudes of people around me...Let alone their language. I did not realize how horrible of a daughter I was during that year, but my mom told me my whole attitude changed.

For tenth grade I begged my parents to let me come back home. My mom did not know if she could teach High School so they put me into an online program. This was alright except I hated it! I had to learn about evolution, and trust you me my teacher who clamed to be a Christian had many a debates. Normally I could stump her, but God really used that to teach me what I believe is 100% accurate. I will never disagree with creation, because wow the things they tried to tell me were just very far fetched. It really makes me mad how public schools will teach evolution as if it is a fact when they say it is a theory...Should they not be willing to teach other theories also! What really bothers me is when you have a teacher who calms to be a Christian teaching evolution. Is it just me or would you call that picking and choosing parts of the bible you believe in?

This year for eleventh my blessed mother is teaching me! I have enjoyed learning things from her. I have not had the opportunity to live with her my whole life and now that I do, there is nothing more wonderful to me than knowing she will take time to teach me. I have learned more this year than in the past two years. I get to learn it through the word of God which makes it all the more enjoyable. I can not believe I have only one year left before I am finished with my basic education. I do not want to go to Collage, because it seems like a waste of money to me. My goals in life are to be a submissive wife and a mother like the one God blessed me with. (Who better to teach me than her?)

My mother home schooled me for 6, 7, and 8. She took me form a low grade level and put me back up into a higher grade level. I went to a private school for 5th grade, and they tested me to find out I was at a 2 grade level.

God has used all the bad in my life and thought me some hard lessons. Though I am only 17 I have gone through some hard things, and now I am so thankful I did.

My wonderful sisters!

 I just wanted to post a special mother's day entry. My mother is so wonderful, she has and will still bend over backwards to do anything for me. One time while I was going to school, stubborn old me got suspended! My mother came to pick me up but before we could leave the teachers made me sign my name on a slip of paper saying I was not welcome in the school for three days. So when they said sign your name here I put sign my name, (just for the record not a good plan when you are already in more trouble than you can imagine.) she grabbed my arm so hard I am sure I still have a burse...But even though I have done horrible things she still loves me.

Thank you my sweet Lord for a mother like mine.

I love you mom

 Today has been busy! Not as bad as some days, but I am happy to say everything got done! This morning I woke up at 5:30 to make pie crust. After a normal day our water was turned off! (Right as I was going to wash the lettuce from our garden) Our neighbor called and asked if we wanted to go to the pool. (In head: NO ARE YOU SERIOUS THE WATER IS FREEZING) sure we will be up there at four. Guess what the water was cold. The girls did not mind, and I did not have to get in so it all worked out. After the pool we came home and got food ready for a family in our neighborhood that just had a baby. We brought it up to them, then came home and got food ready for church. So it was not to busy but more to do than normally. And our water did come back on!

Last night went online to Jo Ann Fabrics, to order some DMC floss. After spending about an hour trying to find all the threads the price came to $30.00 which was not bad because I was getting some fabric, needles, and calligraphy pens also. They wanted to charge me $8.95 for shipping. I was not willing to pay that because they as I was shopping they kept advertising a flat shipping fee of $5.00. I wish we had a Jo Ann Fabrics near us, but we don't. So I called Hobby Lobby this morning and am proud to say I am glad I did not order it. The DMC floss at Jo Ann's was $0.69, and at Hobby Lobby it is $0.23. I have a lot of floss to get so I like this price a lot better :)

Sorry for the rambling, I just don't really know what to say on this blog quite yet.

As I am sitting her I can not help but be happy. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by Gods amazing love. I know I do not deserve him, and that I deserve nothing but death itself. I feel like Simon in

Luke 5: 8

When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!"

My heart is over flowing with his love, I want to just share it. I wish everyone could feel as I do right now! Though I am sinful and nothing but a horrible person He loves me and always will. God is so powerful, so mighty I want all to hear his name and feel the peace I do. I love His voice and long to be next to him. Sometimes I wish Jesus would just come back right now and take me with him in his loving arms.

Last night we went to Nathan's hous to eat dinner with his family. After our famlies talked about the future, they suggested that Nathan and I do a Bible study together and read a book called Reforming Marrige. By Duglas Wilson.

It looks like a very good book! They do another book called Her Hand in Marriage.

Though I have never read either of these books, they both look very good! I can not wait to read them. I am so happy that we have an oppertunity to have a Christ centered relationship. God is the one leading us down the road in courtship, and maybe one day marriage. I could not ask for anything more. How wonderful to have a God who I know will do the best for me, look at the wonderful parents he gave me to encourage and help me through not only this process, but everything.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

My three year old sister (The Doodler) decided she also likes Nathan, and all day she has been asking if we could go back over to his house. She does not understand that you can not just show up at someone's house! Sweet Girl

Lets join together and pray to the Father who listens to the smallest of pleas! I am going to pray for Japan. I will share more later as I decide what I will pray for. Go to a Country-Girl at heart  to learn more and to help us flee to God for everything.  Leave me a commet and let me know if you are joining.

I have something quite sad to say! In approximately 18 months my family is moving. Nathan will stay here so he can finish up collage. We will be separated for at least four years. Why do we have to move? It makes me rather sad to think about. I know I must go with my father because he is my protector until marriage. I can't wait until our families get together to talk about it and decide what we will do. I keep praying that what ever happens I will be content and remember that all works out to bring glory to God.

This morning my wonderful father made some time so he could take me to get my permit. I had already looked up everything online so I thought I was set. I had had my permit for a different state before we moved, so I brought that along also. After we got there we only had to wait 15 minutes for them to open the doors. We were on of the very first people to be called up to the counter. The lady was only doing her job, but I wish they would give you more information online. I needed about three more things but they were not online so after waiting about a year to get my new permit (again)  I have to wait longer. (I would love a truck like this ) That is my horrible DMV story, I would love to hear your so I don't feel so frusterated with the place.

God give me patience, your time is the best time.

Because a girl named Alex has asked me to share more about my courtship that is what I am doing! We choose to court not date. A wonderful poste to read on this is done by Brittnee. If you are the one who wants to court and you parents are not on the same page as you I recommend a book called So Much More. Written by Anna Sofia Botkin and Elizabeth Botkin. These girls are sisters and wrote this book together at a very young age! There is a chapter called Fathers, Daughters, and Suitors. Where it explains about courtship and tells how to get your parents on the same page if they have different views.  

When Nathan told me he was interested in me my first response was why are you telling me this, my father is the one you need to talk to. Others have shared an interest in me, but when I told them to talk to dad they never did. It weeded out all who I would not have liked any way. I am so happy he did have the courage to talk to dad! Having my parents know what’s going on, and directing what is going on helps so much. I don't know how people who date do it! I would much rather have my parents and his with us every time we do something.

I don't really know what to say on the topic other than without my mother and father I would be lost. I am so happy they want to help me find my future spouse. That they have only my best interest in mind, and that they will help me make very important choices. My father is my protector and provider until the day I marry, which is why he needs to know my heart, and my thoughts on things such as courting.

For right now Nathan and I are just getting to know each other and our families better. Some people would say that I am picky about who I want to marry but in truth I want to pick a Pearson I can be happy with. Who I will be able and want to submit to. So my guidelines for a future spouse are much higher than the normal. For example I would never want to marry someone who said dancing was not honoring to Christ. Though it is something small it is important, how I could submit to a man I do not agree 100% with.

Psalm 145: 17-21

The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.

Is this not so sweet! My heart is over joyed when I read things like this. How wonderful to have a God who is near to hear my cry. Who will love me when I sin again and again. Though I will try with my whole heart, I will fail but God will be my rock and strong hold. Giving me the strength I need. How my heart bleeds for those who can not call this dear to them, the wicked. He is so wonderful! Last night I was reading Luke 11: 1-13. We should pray as he directs us! We should remember he is the God who will always give good gifts, and here in Psalms we see that he will give us our hearts desires. How can we forget that with the beauty we see each day!

Luke 12: 22-23

Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes."

Let us live our lives for Him who is holy today, remembering He will take care of us, that the clothing on our body means nothing. For God is a God to worship and share with all!

Good morning my fellow bloggers! My younger sister and my mother have been telling me for the last week that I need to update my blog.  I know they are right the people who visited my blog have probably stopped! (I don't blame them) From now on I am going to try and write an entry twice a week! I just like visiting other people’s blogs better.

For my spring brake I went to visit my sister in CT. while I was there we went to NYC. It was pretty cool, because we went to see Grease on Broadway. I have decided I never want to live in a city though. NEVER!!! Seeing my sister was alright, but I was most excited to see my niece Emma. She is 14 months old but pleas pray for her. That God will find a way to take her to himself and that she will never know a day without his grace. Like always the best part of any trip is coming home! God has brought my heart to my house and there is no other place I want to be. I have such a wonderful family and I am so thankful that God has blessed me with a heart for home.

I want to be a better daughter though! My goal is to help my mother in every and any way I can. I want to anticipate what she will need me to do better. She does ask for help, but I wish she would ask for more. It is my duty thought to just help her. So when the laundry needs folding or the dishes unloaded I want to be ready to do it without her asking for help. I just have to become more diligent in my school so I can finish faster.

Talking about school I better go eat so I can start!

Does any one know how to put a slideshow into an entry?

Last week my dad took Anne, Nathan, and I to a Monster Truck rally. We had so much fun! Watching the huge trucks drive over the little cars was amazing. They also did a little bit of xtream biking. The bickers went a full 360 degrees! It was a ton of fun Anne has some photos on her blog, and if I can work this out right I will have a video on my blog!

We all love our mothers, but why is it that once they give you the "mothers curse" you are doomed? When your mother says things like I hope your children are just like you guess what, you are going to have children just like you....I know it is funny, because you have already had children just like you, or because you have heard you mother say those very words. About a year ago I expressed how much I did not like meat loaf. These were her very words, "Sarah get use to it the man you marry is going to like meat loaf." I shrugged it off and said what every mom. Guess what! I am courting right now, and Nathan's favorite food is Meat loaf. Thanks mom!

As you can tell I am not very good at adding entries. I do have some drafts, but I want to put more thought into them before I add them. I was just thinking of

Philippians 4:12-13

I know what is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty.

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation,

wheather well fed or hungry, weather living in plenty or want. I can do everything

through Him who gives me strength.

Those words are so wonderful! To know that in every situation you can be content. For look what God himself endured for me! What is it that we "need" do we need three meals a day, or warm covers at night. The answer is no in truth all we need is Jesus. The free gift of salvation is what we need.

Matthew 7:7

 " Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

One of my favorite parables is the parable of the wedding banqute (matthew 22:1-14) To know that God chooses the "guests" brings great joy into my heart.

How wonderful is my creater, let my lips fill the sky with his holy name.

Game night was a huge success. We started the evening with pizza and then played two games. Every one had a great time! I was a little worried as people started showing up because it just seemed like I had taken on more than I could handle. God is good, because he gave me the strength to be a hostess.

Earlier on Friday I had a doctor appointment, I had to get a spinal x-ray. I was told I have scoliosis :( it is a 26 degree curve in my spine. I just keep reminding my self that what ever happens it will bring glory to God. I was able to google scoliosis and found out a lot about it. If any of you have it or have a good web site for information I would love to hear about it.

                                                      I just thought this nursery rhyme sums up everything.

                                                                                   Crooked Man

There was a crooked man,
Who walked a crooked mile,
And found a crooked sixpence,
Upon a crooked stile,
He bought a crooked cat
Which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together,
In a little crooked house.
