Back with lots of news.
Hey everyone, I'm back! For those of you who didn't know I was gone, I was grounded from the computer, but now I have come back to bore you all to death with my silly posts.
Oh, gosh, I have a LOT to say!! I guess I'll start with the weekend before last. For those of you who read PrimaBallerina's blog, you know that the co-op did their play. We made it! My mom and I actually got there early (believe it or not) and I got to stay late, like TEN PM late!! I haven't had so much fun since we moved! I got to see all my old friends, except the Bjorklunds, but Molly, Bethany, Hannah, Candace, Micah, Savannah, and Rachel were all there, and since I haven't seen them in a year, we had a wonderful reunion!! The play was awesome, by the way. DRAMA did a good job of pulling it off, and it was fun to watch. The class actually rewrote almost the whole thing, and it was pretty cool when Bethany told me the things they'd changed or redone. Everyone acted well, and except for when Savanah K. started giggling over the name of her hippy rock band thingamajigger, I didn't notice a glitch. Bravo Mrs. Gunnels, and the HOPE co-op Drama class of 'o7-'08!!
So we got to watch that, and then we talked. And talked. And talked. Then Mom and I drove home, got back at like midnight and I crashed. Amazingly, I was awake enough the next day to spend it all playing with Kes and my sibs, and fend off K's flirting!! Nothing really eventful happened the next week, I spent most of it reading. I read "The Atonement Child" by Francine Rivers, and I must say it is one of the best books I've ever read. It was very sweet/sad, but if you're looking for a really good abortion story, read The Last Storyteller by Diane Noble. I cleared out my bookshelf that week, so now I only have COMC, but it's pretty good. Don't know what I'm gonna read when that's done. Guess I'll go back to Anne of Green Gables, again. Or maybe Robinson Crusoe. Who knows??
Ah, so this week was pretty good too. I've been working diligently on my story, and I'm proud to say I MIGHT finish it this year. One can hope. Last night we went to the Lindsey's, my friend Gabriella's. We talked about everything on God's green earth, and ate ourselves full. For about an hour or so, we danced to my iPod in her iDog, and sang into our hairbrushes. It was the most fun I've had since the play. We decided we'll do the same thing when she comes to stay this summer, and we'll be sure to drive the neighbors crazy as we belt out Since U Been Gone, Girlfriend, and Breathe (2 am). Ha ha!!
Well, the summer is coming up hair-raisingly fast, and along with it the school year. I'm so freaked out, even though it's a whole four months away, that time is going to fly by. I'll have to get a physical, and be tested, and all kinds of scary stuff. But still I can't wait. I'm hoping to be able to keep my blog even after I start PS. If other kids find time for MySpace, I'm sure I can do my blog. My mom is still worried about my intelligence in the school system, but I have vowed to myself that I'll keep up my brain juice during the Summer, and maybe on the weekends. Hopefully I'll go up a grade, so I'll be with kids my age, but who knows. Oh well. I'll survive, I'm sure...I think.
For those of you who read past posts, you might know that one of my aunts is pregnant, and is due this September. You may also know that she had a possibility of losing the baby. Well, she had an operation that pretty much ensures that the baby will stay! Thank you all of you who prayed for my aunt, and please keep doing so. We are all really hoping that the baby will live, and we're all really excited to have a new cousin. Ironically, my aunt who is haveing the baby was fourteen when I was born, and I'll be nearly fourteen or fourteen when the baby comes. Funny, huh?
My other aunt and uncle are doing fine too as well as I know. My aunt is doing better after her surgery and my uncle's knee is healing, I'm pretty sure. Thanks for praying for them too.
I'd also like to ask prayer for myself, which seems kind of weird, but anyways. My mom is talking about getting me to a doctor because I've been having weird shock things through my body, mostly along my ribs and spine and legs. It really, really hurts, and they usually take my breath away for a little while. So I'd appreciate it if you'd pray for these pains to go away, and for nothing to be seriously wrong. Oh yeah, and for Bethany (PrimaBallerina) and her knees. I guess they're still pretty bad, so please pray for heling in those limbs.
OK, I've got to go now, I have a Webkinz in serious need of attention. Bye, y'all.
Brigette.
P.S. Please read the following. It's from some missionaries in Africa that I pray daily for. They'd appreciate it if you would too. Anyways, I'll be posting them as I get them. Here's the first newsletter:
Thank you for praying for the team from Northridge Fellowship, Jerome, ID that went to Diouloulou. Here is a brief testimony how God answered your prayers. As Gayle and Candy were packing to leave on the mission trip to Diouloulou, Janie gave Gayle a Bible and told her to give it to someone in Diouloulou. After arriving in Diouloulou Gayle and Candy continued to pray and ask God’s guidance in whom to give the Bible. On Friday while speaking in an English class they told the girls they wanted their hair braded, so if anyone wanted to come where they were staying they would love that. A girl named Georgette said she would come on Sunday afternoon, but they were wondering if she would show up. Georgette did come, and both Candy and Gayle had an instant bond with her, so they knew this was the person they were to give the Bible. The next day Georgette came back and told them she did not know how to use the Bible because she never had one before. They were able to share the Gospel with Georgette and show her how to use the Bible. They ask that you pray for Georgette. Pray the Holy Spirit would guide her as she reads the Bible and that she would see her need for Jesus and trust Him as her Lord and Savior.
Pray for God and Jesus as Savior and Lord to speak clearly to the Tamba family as the Schmitz have a celebration of life together. Pray that their eyes will be opened and that they will believe in Jesus and openly proclaim Him as their Savior. Pray that nothing will hinder this celebration from happening.
Pray that God will open the hearts of Philip and his family in Djilacoune as the Schmitz begin to tell them the story of God’s love for them. Pray that others from the village will also come to hear the stories. Pray that God will give them ears to hear, a mind to understand, heart to believe and a spirit to follow the message of truth.
