      Feliz Navidad!

That’s probably one of my favorite Christmas songs (Breath of Heaven being the other one!) and unfortunately, I can never listen to it with full enjoyment in my house without fear that my dad will yell at me to TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! He doesn’t usually, but that song happens to be one of his pet peeves of Christmas music. Haha, I love my dad…

   So we had a great Christmas! We actually thought we’d get a white one this year, but it was sunny and in the fifties! I think we had a rather quiet one…because we didn’t go to a lot of parties or plays, but that was mostly because we were performing somewhere every weekend with music or dance. I like performing, but….yeah.  :)

  I’ll write more later! :D

 I'm going to totally shock every conservative good Christian girl that reads this.

I want a boyfriend. Alot. Right now. Not only that, I have my eye on a certain boy. But he doesn't care two cents for me. (haha, when has your crush EVER liked you in return?)

Ok, admit it: you want the exact same thing. I think every girl in the world does. And if you're a boy reading this...sorry, my eyes weren't set on YOU! Kidding...

  But unfortunately for me, I've decided not to kiss or anything until I meet my husband and I'm only sixteen, which means I probably wouldn't marry a boyfriend even if I had one, which in turn means I can't have a boyfriend. *Sigh* Life is sooo hard.  

Anyhoo...someone tell me it'll be worth the wait.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't been on much lately...life has been very busy. Haha, I realize I just used a very lame and much-used excuse... So who is ready for Christmas? I told my family they are all getting very loving cards this year because all my money is going to my missions trip next summer! I think they were all touched, but it's hard to tell. Although, one of my sisters and I are getting a BIG present for everyone, but some of my siblings read this....so I can't spill the beans. :p

So what do you guys all think of the whole Twilight craze? I don't know about you, but it has hit Virginia BAD! I wrote down my thoughts on Facebook, and I thought I'd share them here. Feel free to add your own thoughts. :)

   I’ve had people tell me I can’t judge a book by its cover. That’s true, but while I haven’t read the books or seen the movie, I have a pretty good idea what they are.

      It’s not because I don’t like fantasy and sci\fi—I do, actually. :p But there’s a verse in the Bible that says we’re supposed to think about things that are lovely, honorable, right, and pure. So far, I haven’t been convinced the Twilight series are honorable, right, or pure! Sure, you’ll find bad and good in every sci\fi story, but in Twilight, evil is glorified as good, which makes it different from something like Lord of the Rings. Edward may be a ‘good’ vampire, but he is really just the lesser evil.

   When we read or watch a movie, we identify with the characters. So why are we Christians indentifying with Bella, who is basically in love with a demon? Or mooning over a vampire?

    So I know I’m going to have people who say, “Everyone knows it’s fiction—get over it!” Well, of course it’s fiction. So is every other love story in the world. It’s not like there’s any real life Cinderellas or Mr. Darcys. But again, we’re supposed to be filling our minds with good things, and somehow I can’t put a vampire with a thirst for human blood into my category of good things.

Hey!

I suppose it's time I updated this blog...I have some very, very, very sad news...I can't get on the Rebelution forums.  I didn't get kicked off (!) but I apparently changed some "vital information" in my profile and now I don't have access. And I realize 90% of the people reading this blog don't care...but if you're not part of the Rebelution, do go and check out their blog\forums. They're awesome. Just don't change any vital information in your profile. :/

Megjo tagged me! :)

1. I draw hearts and stars on everything...my math book looks really girly, haha 

2. I really don't like any Thanksgiving food except mashed potatoes...but I'll eat it all for tradition's sake. :p 

3. I have either dance or music classes almost every day

4. I have been told by people that I am shy, and then I have been told by other people that I am extroverted and bubbly..and I DON'T think I have a split personality! :p...I did use to be shy, so I guess for people that have known me forever it seems like that...

5. I've never been to Florida, but I'd love to go to Disney world and holyland experience!! 

6. I miss my Rebelution forum friends...sniff, sniff

I've had this blog a little over a year now!! I couldn't have a proper blogaversary because I *cough, cough* accidently deleted my original one, but I guess any time is as good as any so...HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY TO ME! :)  

Posted in My thoughtful thinks :p

               This life is like a dance, with my partner being either the god of this world, or the Lord of the universe. For myself, I have chosen to dance with the Lord.

         You might think dancing with my King, my Savior, my Lord, my Lover, and my Daddy would be the very epitome of beauty and enjoyment, and while I truly could not have asked for a better partner, there are times it seems to be a very hard and difficult dance indeed. The steps are intricate and seem to be too hard to understand, my breath catches in my throat at the rigorous exercise, and the music does not fit my taste. Even though I beg Him to explain why He prefers this particular dance at this time, He oftentimes will not give me a satisfactory answer. It is at those times I find very little enjoyment in our dance and I long for the song to end. 

   Nevertheless, when I trip over the steps, His arm is there to catch me. When I absolutely cannot bear the music anymore, His shoulder is there to muffle the sound. When the exercise is too much, He is there to hold me up. And when my eyes fill and my voice chokes, He pauses a moment to wipe away my tears and assure me that He is still there. That this dance won’t last forever. That He loves me.    

    It is not all gloom, of course. Sometimes the music is bright and my feet are light and quick. Then my smile is matched by His own, and we become a beautiful couple, moving in perfect rhythm to the beat. It is then that I have to throw back my head and laugh for pure joy. What a happy thing it is, to be to be dancing and free! More often than not, He laughs with me, as if we share a delightful secret known only to those who dance with Him.

   The best thing about our dancing is that my Partner will never leave me for another. He won’t pair off with another, more beautiful woman. He has given me His promise, and He doesn’t break His promises.

 Dance with Him.

I know my title doesn't make sense...but if you listen to Hawk Nelson, you'll understand. :p

Yeah, this post is going to be one of those didn't-make-any-sense-and-wasn't-very-interesting-had-absolutely-no-point ones...cause I feel like writing. And I have nothing to write about. Except my day. Which really wasn't terribly interesting. But since I now have piqued your interest. I'll write about it.

Wow, I like putting random periods everywhere. It makes me feel really, really good. You should try breaking some grammar rules sometimes.

Ok, well anyways, I just lost my entire reading audience. My entire homechooled reading audience. Oh, speaking of homeschooled, there is a hilarious Tim Hawkins video on youtube on homeschooling that I'll post on here sometime. I watched it three times and cracked up louder and louder. People are probably wondering what I'm doing, because I'm at my dad's work office at eleven pm (with wireless! Yayay!) Oh, speaking of youtube, my hip-hop dance team, Empowered is going to start posting their stuff on there. Sooo everyone can see me break it down! Oh yeah.

 Ok, I was going to write about my day. Well, we made Christmas wreaths in the morning...to sell...for my missions trip. :) Then Daddy took me to the DMV to take my learner's permit test...which I PASSED!!! Then, dad let me drive part of the way home...notice I said PART of the way! Haha, he was going to let me drive all the way, but I chickened out and he was awfully quick to grab the steering wheel back. :P I probably improved his prayer life. And my sister's, too, because she was sitting in the back seat making this funny little gasping noises. I have no idea why.

 So, I kinda ran out of things to write about. Please hide the relieved sigh. :)

Ok, I'm on a sugar high from eating too much candy and drinking a whole can of Dr. Pepper (usually I can't finish it...lol) so I'd better stop writing before I come out with something really random and weird. Much love...

       Well, I obviously don’t need to put the election results here and I probably don’t need to say that I’m not exactly thrilled with the new President elect. Did anyone watching or listening to his victory speech notice that he did not mention God ONCE? America has not achieved so many things because ‘yes, we can’; we have only had so many accomplishments and been so blessed because God has chosen to bless us. I really don’t know why. Our country is so evil. Maybe it’s like the city of Sodom in the Bible. The only reason judgment has been withheld is because of the righteous people interceding and living in this country. And we are going to have to keep interceding for Barak Obama.

   As for other (definitely more cheerful!) news, I have been officially accepted to go on a Global Expeditions mission trip next summer to Scotland! I am so, so, so, so, so, so excited…until I think about money, immunizations, passports, visas, plane tickets, and, oh yeah, the fact I’m going to a foreign country by myself.  (By myself, meaning without my parents…haha.)

  

Quick closing story:  I came up the stairs the other day and found myself looking at my two-year-old brother. After staring at each other (and grinning) for a couple seconds, Joshua says, “Hey Bekah!”

Me: “Hey, Joshua.”

Joshua: “How you been?”

I just stared at him. This kid barely says understandable words, and definitely not sentences. Then, I started wondering how he knew people asked each other that when they greeted one another. Then, I began admiring what a smart boy he was. Then, I wondered what I had said or done recently that he remembered. (And I managed to think all that in less than two seconds!)

Me: Fine. How are you?

(His next answer was not so understandable, but I think he said something like this)

Joshua: Fine, thank you.

My brother is the cutest thing. J

  You know, regardless of what you think of Halloween, I've decided that every Christian should be out making a difference on that night. It's important, and it's FUN!

    Our old church was able to get a parking lot right in the center of all the trick and treating. :p My dance team danced and performed the Lifehouse Everything skit, and we, along with people from our old church, did a walk-through drama similiar to the popular Judgement House one.  Pastor said about 300 people walked through!!

 There were (of course) so many hilarious things that happened in the process of trying to do the drama. Once, this other boy and  I were in a car-wreck scene. We were supposed to sit in the car (which had been covered with blood...er, red paint :P) and look dead. We must be pretty good actors, because this kid (at least, I'm assuming and hoping it was a kid, haha) started feeling my hand (which was hanging out of the window). He then loudly announced to everyone that I was WARM! I was sorely tempted to slowly rise up out of my seat and quaver (in a surreal voice) that yes, I was alive! But, it would have spoiled the point we were trying to get across...besides, it was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. :)

   I don't know if anyone actually made a decision for Jesus or not. But everyone who walked through the drama got the gospel message loud and clear at the end, so I'm sure there was someone there who was convicted about their life.

         Sometimes I hate the fact that He asks so much. It’s so easy to obey Him when the commands are few and easy, but this particular command I find very hard to do. I stare at my wet pillow, wondering if I have any more tears to shed.

  This person really hurt me, God! And it’s a continuing process.

How relatively easy it is to forgive when the transgression is far in the past!

   I feel like I’ve already forgiven way more than seventy times seven.

He forgave those who hurt him, both physically and emotionally. I wonder if the insults and mockery hurled at Him hurt Him even more than the physical blows.

  But, You’re God! Of course it’s easy for You to forgive.

But He was a man.

  But it’s all the past. Now You’re happy in heaven.

Nevertheless, people still hurt Him. Every rejection, every derogatory comment and misuse of His Name pains Him. But He still forgives.

     I take a deep breath, willing the tears to stay back.

Okay, God. I’ll forgive.

It still hurts, but I know I’ve done the right thing.

        Hello to whoever is reading this! J It’s basically been a good week. :p

   This weekend, we attended a conference for homeschooling families. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more kids or vans in one place! It was practically the van reunion of the year.

    Anyways, I thought it was cool to see all different people with different convictions in one place—there was everyone from the Amish housewife to the Hannah Montana wanna-be. I think that’s great—that Christians can put their differences aside to worship and learn together. And a learning experience it was!

  I don’t remember everyone who was there. Ken Jenkins, who is a professional photographer, was there—and we held a photo contest, which was a lot of fun, even though my photo didn’t win. :P I wish I could post some of his pictures that he’s taken. They are truly amazing. 

     There was a family with ten kids who sang bluegrass, one of the people who had something to do with the book, Shepherding a Child’s Heart, (he didn’t write it, but he was on the team or something. See, I’m so detail-orientated, Lol) and Unfolding Drama, which is a drama team composed of the Roseman and Brand families. It was especially cool to see them, because Shalom Brand is the daughter of Michael and Debi Pearl of No Greater Joy ministries. We get the ministry’s magazine and had read about Unfolding Drama, and seen pictures of everyone on the team, so it was fun to see them in real life, both on-stage and informally throughout the day. Gregg Rozeman preached the sermon on Sunday (well, performed it really), and it was so good that I wrote up a whole post on it…coming later. ;)

  I also had my first job interview a couple days ago. I was pretty nervous, but I don't think it showed. ;) So...if I get the job, I'll be a hostess at a hotel\restaraunt. 

      I've been thinking about....stuff...alot lately, and I've come to the realization that I really couldn’t matter less. I’m not saying I’m worthless, or that everyone would get along without me. I’m just realizing that in the overall picture, the only One who really matters is Jesus. He’s not concerned with our little problems and trials. He doesn’t stress over tests or feel terrible that we have a rotten life. He has it all under control. He sees the big picture.

     So when I come to Him crying about relationship problems, or my life, or anything else, He smiles. Not a mocking or happy smile, just one that says, “if you only knew the real picture, then you would see how everything works out for good for them that love me.” :)

   Our big show that we've been practicing for for about a year, is finally over!  It was fun, and like most productions, the drama and panic going on backstage was just as interesting as the actual performance.  :p It was actually a celebration concert for a group called the Ageless Wonders that our voice teacher leads. They've been together for forty years and we were enlisted to help them celebrate! :) The entire performance was about two hours and of course, we have tons of pictures, but I'm afraid I would bore everyone on here with all of them! Haha, here are just a few to give you an idea of what went on yesterday. :)

   Six of my siblings were in it, as well as some other people. Don't we look cute? Lol. They may look nice, but I'm SO glad I didn't live in the nineteenth century...at least not in the summer!

 

    The Virginia Reel!

 My little brother, Ethan, totally stole the show!

               'Alleluia' (I'm in the center, with my sisters Hannah and Hosannah on the sides)

'Hello Dolly'....Lol

My sister Sarah is the one in front. :)

 

'It's a Big Wide Wonderful World!' Some of the kids were doing hula hoops, but all the pictures are too blurry.

  I’m hoping to go on a missions trip next summer with Global Expeditions. (Think Ron Luce, BattleCry, teen mania, Acquire the Fire! Uhhhh, I can’t think of anything else he’s done. :p) I was stuck between Scotland and Italy, which does seem kind of ridiculous, considering…well, just considering. J

 These were my thoughts:

  Scotland has great castles.

If I went to Italy, I’d get to dance on the streets of Rome! (The group will be doing dance\drama street evangelism)

Maybe if I went to Scotland, I’d get to see the Loch Ness Monster…if it even exists and we happen to be around.

There’s lots of cute, Italian boys in Italy. (GASP! Didn’t mean to tell you that thought!)

    Well, now you see why it was rather ridiculous (wow, I like that word)! I’m supposed to be going on this trip to serve God and instead I’m deciding between the merits of meeting my future husband and seeing a legendary monster. Yes, that does make me feel spiritual. :p Well, I know you’re all itching to know what I decided, so to ease your insatiable curiosity…

 I’m going to Scotland.

    In the end, it turned out to be cheaper. Haha, KIDDING! No, actually, I had been praying quite a bit about it, and I was sensing God was saying, “Scotland.” So, already thinking that, I asked my parents and they both said Scotland, plus it was a bit cheaper than Italy. So, in nine months, I will be boarding a plane to go to Scotland for almost an entire month…well, if I’m accepted. I finished my application yesterday, so I guess we’ll soon see if I am. I’m pretty sure of the outcome. ;)

  I’m so excited. I’ve wanted to go on a missions trip for the last three years (granted, to Romania) and now it looks like I really will be going. I’ve wanted to go to Romania, but I also want to do a drama\dance trip with teen mania, and as I’ll be seventeen next summer, it’ll probably be my last chance. Romania can come later. J

  …on a very different note, Daddy is leaving for a 100 mile race today. Ahhhhhhhh! Pray for that man. J   

 

 

 

 

 

 

       It was a hot day. Nevertheless, it was not the heat that caused perspiration to trickle down my forehead or my hands to be sticky with sweat. Those hands now waved helplessly in the air, unable to protect my body from the ground. I cried out with every heavy step that my captors took. I could not protest though. I deserved the treatment I was getting—and would be getting. What does it feel like to-to—?   

    No! I could not let the word enter my mind. I could guess very well what it felt like. I had seen it enough times—the bodies lying limp on the ground, crushed from the heavy, merciless rocks. Fresh tears poured out of my eyes and I was sure my sobs were loud enough to reach the heavens. “Oh, God!”

  What right do I have to call on God? Surely, I could not face God now—not with my sin weighing as heavily as the stones that would surely bring death did. Oh God, please, no! I’m sorry! What was it that my mother said often when I was younger? Child, do you know how much God loves you? Surely, God held no love for me now.  I looked up at the sky, but grim faces blocked it. All I saw was their eyes. Death filled eyes. Their fingernails were pulling at my bare arm and I saw my blood dripping on the ground.

 

    “Here we are.” The voice reminded me of someone who had just received news that his crops had been destroyed—angry, excited, and anxious to harm someone or something. I collapsed. Terror trembled through my body, and I squeezed back my tears. I did not even have the courage to sob now.

  “Get up.” A foot kicked at my body. Someone pulled me up. I saw the horrified, though curious, crowd through my water-filled eyes and my cheeks felt on fire. Never had I been so exposed. Shame crept through me. There was my garbage—out for the entire world to see.

    Jesus stood in front of me. I recognized Him, of course—was there anyone who did not? Everyone had seen or at least, heard of his miracles and wonderful, authoritative teachings. For some reason, shame burned even greater within me. Jesus was a holy Man—perfect, some people claimed. I had even heard some people say He was the Messiah we had all been waiting for. That I wasn’t too sure of, but I knew Jesus Himself said He was God’s Son. Now I stood before Him, ashamed, exposed, and crying. Why did they have to bring me to Jesus?

 

    “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.” The speaker cast a venomous look at me. I swallowed, twisting my hands into little knots. What does it feel like to die?

 “The law of Moses commands that we stone to death every woman who does this. What do you say we should do?”

  My pulse pounded hard. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a sly sneer on the face of the man nearest me. They are trying to trick Him, I realized. They resent His power over the people and they are trying to find something with which to charge Him. That did not make me feel any better.  I really did not care less what their reasons were.

   The silence passed—or rather, dragged—on for what seemed like forever. Finally, I slowly raised my head. To my bewilderment, Jesus was kneeling on the ground, writing in the sand with a finger. He didn’t raise His head to acknowledge the angry crowd or my trembling figure.   “Teacher? What do you think we should do?”

 No answer.

   “The law says we should stone her.”

Still no answer from the Man on the ground.

 

    My captors were growing restless. Slowly, Jesus stood, glancing at me before turning to the men. I dropped my eyes to the ground again, my face burning with shame.

  “Anyone here who has never sinned can throw the first stone at her.”

With those words, he knelt again and continued his writing. Shocked, I stared at the Man in front of me. There isn’t a man on earth who hasn’t sinned! Does that mean…

 

    One by one, the circle was diminishing. Tears filled my eyes again, this time tears of relief.

   When the circle was gone, I stood alone before Jesus. I was still trembling, and a new thought hit me with shock. Some people say Jesus hasn’t sinned! Is He going to kill me now? I bit my lip, involuntarily drawing back as Jesus stood again.

  “Woman, where are they? Has no one judged you guilty?”

“No one, Teacher.” I faltered, swallowing the huge lump in my throat.

 The faintest smile crossed Jesus’ face. “I also don’t judge you guilty. Go and leave your life of sin.”

   I opened my eyes wide, staring at Him. Go? I am free.

My breath slowly let out. Like a faint echo from the past, my mother’s voice flitted back to me. Child, do you know how much He loves you?

 

I knew.

   I finally got into Francis Shaeffer's book, How Should We Then Live, yesterday. I always thought it looked pretty boring and....boring (lol), but I was bored yesterday and decided the best thing to help my boredom was to read a boring book. And surprise, surprise, it actually wasn't boring!

   It did offer a totally different worldview than my history book. The general impression my history gives is that humans are basically good and when someone like Hitler or Saddam Hussein comes on the scene, they're acting opposite than their nature. According to Francis Shaeffer, humans are basically evil and all of history, it's been men rebelling against their Creator. That was kinda a shocker for me. I mean, I know humans have evil natures, but to realize that before Christ, anyone of us has the potential to become a Hitler, was scary. I guess it just makes the need for a Savior all the more greater. And it makes me all the more thankful I have a Savior.

   So what's new in my life? Well, I have decided when I get a car, I'm naming it Chloe. Haha, ok, I know that was random. I'm in a really crazy mood right now. Just thought I'd warn you. :p

  So we went to the wedding on Saturday and it was gorgeous. I know I already said that, but it really was. I choked up. :p It was just so sweet...except that I now have two gigenormous blisters as a sad result of wearing high heels for five hours. (sniff, sniff. Lol) Actually, they're healing up pretty well, which is good, because I have to wear jazz shoes for our performance in a couple of weeks and I don't want to think about what blisters would feel like. Ouch!

  Sunday, most Christians go to church, but I decided to break the cultural and biblical norm and stay home. Kidding! I did stay home, but it was to babysit two babies. Yeah, I had a blast. We watched Blues Clues, ate popsicles, danced around to music, and ate. Or they ate, while I fed them. Fun, fun. 

   On Monday....nothing happened, except that we all almost froze. It's been like sixty degrees outside for the last three days! Jumping from ninety degree to sixty degree weather in one day is not cool. Or it is cool. Too cool. Hahahaha, get it? Ok, anyway...

  We went to voice lesson Tuesday. I had a back ache, head ache, awful blisters, a bad case of sleepiness, and a cold and I managed to sing and dance. I'm so proud of myself! Lol. I also had a piano lesson and my teacher was impressed on how I had been able to not practice and still sound good. :) Ok, so I didn't sound that good, but I had practiced! Just practiced the wrong thing. :p

 Yesterday, Mom left for North Dakota for four days . Long story why, but basically, God told her to go. Crazy, right? I'm soooo glad that my mom is one of those crazy people who does what God says to do. I'm also glad she's gone, because that means we can paarrrttyy!!!!! Just kidding, in case you actually believed me. Lol. I actually did think we'd have fun, because Dad's working all day and mom's gone--so no parents and a house full of kids and food and movies!!! Yay! Except that when schoolwork and chores are all done there's not much time for anything else. (Sigh. so sad. :p) We did watch Raiders of the Lost Ark last night. (Hey, it's a classic! We had to see it!) It did have some funny parts, but mostly it was creepy. I wouldn't advise watching it or any other Indiana Jones movie right before bed.  

    Three of my sisters got blogs. (Which now means all five girls have one. Aaaahhh! HSB is being taken over by my family!) So, go check them out! It's actually hilarious, because we all have SUCH different personalities and our blogs.....show that. :p

  So, here's my sisters' blogs:   Moriah,  Sarah, and last but not least, Hosannah!

   Today we went to a friends' wedding. It was a storybook perfect, fairy tale wedding--seriously. Everything was so lovely and sweet, and they were the cutest couple. I almost cried...haha, and I don't cry at weddings. The real tear-jerking moment came when they kissed, because my friend had made a point not to kiss before she was married, and watching their first kiss was sooooooo beautiful. Everyone screamed and cheered and yelled. There's something so special about watching two people who are totally in love, who have saved themselves for each other. I watch movies like Enchanted or Pride and Prejiduce, and they're sweet, but when it's real people who you know have saved themselves for each other, it's sooo precious.

Clothes aren't what they used to be
They don't seem to fit you and me, anymore
Modesty is out the door
Flaunting what we've got and more is in
Yeah it's very in

"don't ask why just wear what we say
you'll look like a model if you'll only obey
To get the attention, just do what we say"

Pay so much for clothes so small
Is this shirt made for me or my doll
is this all I get
I looked so hot but caught a cold
But I was doing just what I was
told To fit in

(Chorus)

We're saying let's ask why,
don't wear what they say
Don't want to be a model
They can't eat anyway
That kind of attention will fade with the day

won't show what's mine
Can't change my mind
I'll be fine
