Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Woohoo!!! I am so pumped and I don't know why! Hello everyone! Let me tell you about my life. 1st off I would like to tell you that I finally after my 2 months of being here I went to the Philadelphia Hotdog Stand. I have heard so many people talk about how delicious these hot dogs are, and now I can say I've tried one. I ordered the "Philadelphia con tocino" which means the Philadelphia with bacon, and wowzers they put a lot of bacon on. It is so good though! Outdoes any hotdog back home. Though it is hard to eat because it is pretty much as wide as it is long. And for some reason I didn't think I was coming with, so I ate a lot of supper at home, then I ended up coming along and having to try to fit this giant hotdog inside my body as well. The past two days (not including today) (the 5th and 6th)(of Nov.) Patty and Melissa had off. So they were hardly at all here, and if they were they did not need to help because it was their days off. So now I was in charge of Hank, and cleaning, and Leah to sometimes. And to be honest, I absolutely loved it! I loved that baby more than I ever had before. I guess because he was now my responsibility, I was the one in charge of him. He was mine! I didn't have him for night though, because I always watch him on Friday night. (I didn't mind)
And I found cleaning fun to though. It was almost funner to do it all by myself. I love having my initials all across the board. (We have a checklist and you get to sign your initial if you do something) (I shouldn't say all this though because than my mom is gonna expect a little to much of me once I come home.) And Hank was so much fun this morning. He was so happy! I love singing to him, and talking to him. Apparently when I was walking around the house Hank would just follow me with his eyes. Awww :) My heart has melted and is lying in a pool on the ground. Yesterday the Scapinello's came over and they stayed for the night. They were our traveling buddies (and friends) when we were driving down. They are such a fun family to have around, they create a very relaxing atmosphere. And today is Kaylee's birthday, she has gone around the sun 10 times now. So we are having a party for her in the evening. We made paper chains, blew up balloons, and we are having a cake! Our decorations actually look really nice. (if you'd ask me, you don't have to though because I already told you.) (now I can't wait for my birthday party!!!) (20 Days!!) So yeah, time is flying by. I can not believe it is the 7th already. I'm excited to go home, but I am definitely not as homesick as I was a few days ago. I do think it is good to have those days, as long as they are not every day. I am thankful that I have something to miss. I am glad I love my home, my church, my family, and my friends so much. Wouldn't it be kind of sad if I didn't miss them. Yesterday I was reading Romans 5:1-5. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand! And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. I hadn't spent much time in God's word for a little while, and so I am like "God give me a desire for your word, reveal to me something." And it is crazy when you ask for things like that he doesn't hold back. I had so much joy and excitement when I was reading that passage, and he gave me small revelations that I can't quite explain. Just to have peace with God, what an amazing thing. And to take glory in suffering, because through suffering we will produce hope. And hope will not put us to shame. And what an amazing gift the Holy Spirit is! And also one more thing that God has showed me. He means what he says in the bible. For example: James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. If you ask, he will give it to you. Literally! And one more thing my mind has been thinking about. In the Lord's prayer we ask God to give us this day our daily bread. Whether that is literally talking about food or not. Imagine if we actually had to rely on God each day for our food. If we had to live for the day, and not plan out the rest of our life. I don't know, just something to think about for now. Anyways! Thank you again for reading, I will update again soon! Here are more pictures as usual! :)
