Daughter of the King

a mental complex

This morning, I am like heading out the door at 6:25 and the air was chilly. I am dead serious I was tempted to turn the heat on in my car. How freaky is that?! Whereas, just 2 days ago even at 6 in the morning the atmosphere was so humid and warm I was like hardly able of breathing due to warm wet air clogging all passageways. I don't know about this weather situation it's seems a little suspicious to me.

Ok well I will be having the same work day today as I did yesterday. That is working from 6:30-12ish with the boys, and then heading over to Chick-fil-A around 1:30 and staying there until 8. I may be missing Biblestudy, I have not decided how to work that all out. We shall see though.

Something else I realized this morning is how very much I hate getting up. I don't mind so much being awake, rather the arousing myself from sleep. I just aboslutly hate it. Yes there is a difference. It's that feeling that your body is wanting to ignore the alarm or whatnot, but you are still unconscience enough that you are dreaming, and... oh man the will power it takes to make myself wake up is just unreal. Thought I would share that with you. Because I find that being up in the morning really starts me off at a good pace for the day and it's very beneficail to my attitude and such. Often times my most productive days were due to the determination to get out of bed at a earlier hour. I still hate waking up though.

The boys are not up yet. This is perfectly ok by me even though it almost never happens. Often they will both be watching me when I open the door. I am all for kids being asleep. My mom used to make us go to bed around like 7 every night. That is a little extreme except that I may find myself doing the same thing if I ever have more than like 3 kids.

Ok well I may be checking in with you all later. Have a great summer day.

a rainy morning

Hello all. As you know I am not normally this perky at 7 in the morning but alas I awoke myself at an unearthly hour in order that I many watch Mr. Isaac and Mr. Andrew this morning. There mother is not here today, which makes things less complicated on my part. Actually thus far it has been a peaceful day. Isaac and I made pancakes, and Andrew is due for his cereal and his nap shortly.

Anyways, I have not been posting much lately. I sorta go on his and lows you know? I mean, it depends on a whole bunch of things, and I am sorry you all have to deal with it. I do better in the school year because I am sitting at the computer so much more. In the summer it's hard to stay focused when there's so much to do outside and such.

I discovered something. A couple weeks ago I was thinking about how very much I was dreading this next school year and all it had in store. I wanted to just be done with 11th grade and move on. God corrected my attitude and now I am fired up about all that He has set before me to accomplish this year. There is so much in store for me to learn and to be molded from. I realized that school often isn't simply for smartness. It also builds character. When I look at schoolwork from a moral right and wrong standpoint I get really motivated to do my assignments with excellence. Who's with me?!

Ok the coolest part about that whole converstation is that school doesn't start for a few more weeks yet. Very exciting to me, no matter what I say about how good it is.

Ok I am going to get back to the boys. Have a great day everyone. Live well.

A Poem

The Song of a Garden, the Scream of a Snake.

When God made the world He made a garden first.
He made it amidst 4 rivers, so she would know no thirst.
God placed a man and a woman to rule over the beautiful terrain,
His commands were simple; yet broken for their own gain.

When God made people He made them perfectly.
Man and woman got along in complete harmony.
It's not that way anymore, and that is obvious to most.
People lie and people hate, and in God they do not boast.
There are weeds in people's garden, somethings very wrong.
The world is so confused and hateful, she can't sing His song.

God made us to be beautiful. He made us to be like Him.
Yet it was also in His plan, for the world to grow very dim.
For whatever purpose, He chosen to glorify Himself through
Sending His Son to redeem His people, and do what we couldn't do.

People are all very different, each in their own way.
But there is something the same in each person's life today.
We all will be angered, and we will all fail.
There will be disappointment and heartache in each person's tale.

In innocent worship, God's garden was like a peaceful dream.
The song that was once sung on earth, has become a wrenching scream.
The scream is heard in silence when the unwanted "tissue" dies.
The scream is watched on a soldiers face as he says his last good-byes.
This scream of evil and of death to our God is not unknown.
When Christ was slain His scream was felt. But He was truly alone.

To believe that troubles come for a purpose, and not just by mistake
is to see the beauty in a garden, and not yield to the snake.
The scream of our world is piercing, and often times may overwhelm.
But our Holy King is risen, and He has all power in every realm.

He, HE has called His people to bless Him, to hear His song and sing.
God has remade us, and we are beautiful, our offering we shall bring.
Each day is not to be lived to pass time, rather lived to live.
In Heaven we won't witness to the lost, and the hope of salvation give.
The difference in God's song, and the scream the world knows so well,
Can be seen, and heard in the silence. Live for Him. Live well.

good day

I don't have too much time, but I haven't posted in a while so I thought it would be good to do so. It is a beautiful Saturday morning. I actually awoke at 5:50. I have to be at work at 7-2 and I wanted to give myself some time to prepare and such. Anyways, I know my blog template is acting up and I haven't been home to fix it. If any of you have any grand ideas on how to do so please email me or something. I have no clue as to how it happened.

Anyways, I really need to shower or something, and I have to eat and well I guess what I am trying to say is that I am going to be getting off now. Thanks to you all who took my quiz it was very nice of you, I love it when people do that.

I will try extra extra hard to post soon.

watching my boys

So I am here at Isaac's and Andrew's house. We have spent the morning doing things that little boys do best. For those of you who don't know or don't remember Isaac is two and a hald and Andrew is 7 months. I usually watch them when their mom is working at St. V's ER, but today she is sleeping in the guest room of their house. This of course is a little stressful because the boys think they should be able to go in their and see her. Anyways, I perfer it when she is working and not at home, but it's all good.

I said I would post about Covfamikoi and I have yet to do so. Sometime this week I will write it all out and it will be worth your reading. Right now, if you have better things to do than get a boring update on Becca's uninteresting life, than please stop reading, I won't blame you. For one I will never know, and secondly I don't actually care if noone cares about me.

Ok so I was thinking about the presence of God in my quiet time this morning. Something just struck me all over again. I have known this my whole entire life and I just learned it. I don't know it may sound crazy but it's true:
God is with me. He knows what I am feeling. He knows what I am thinking. He knows what I say before I even utter the words. That is so cool. Frightening, but really really awesome! I mean GOD, the God of all and everything, knows everything that goes on in my life better than I do. Not only that, but He knows what is going on in everybodies life. How encouraging to know that I don't have to be concerned about the people that I am not with because althought we all know that it is incredibly hard for anyone to live a moment without me, it's possible because God is with them.

I don't know, like I said I have known this forever. I just... reknow it now.

Ok I got to go. Love you.

what kind of icecream are you?

You Are Rocky Road Ice Cream

Unpredictable and wild, you know how to have fun. You're also a trendsetter who takes risks with new things. You know about the latest and greatest - and may have invented it. You are most compatible with vanilla ice cream.

another day

I am sorry that my last couple posts have been on the boring side. I don't think I am capable of making up for it by writing something incredibly inspiring or insightful at the moment. It's funny how much the weather effects us humans. I mean that when it is rainy for days at a time I get rather depressed etc. I love rain, but I don't love rainy. There is a very large difference and if you can't see it than you are lost.

I had my good friend Alissa over last night and that was very fun. We stayed up late talking and watching movies. I love you Alissa and I am so glad you are my friend. She and her sister Valerie are leaving for 3 weeks on Monday. I will miss them.

Ok so life around here is... not lively. Well I suppose that is not true because there are a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of things going on. Kez is getting better at standing up, which is very big of her. Jerusha has found great pleasure in bothering people, especailly me, today. I am not sure what it is in human nature that makes people enjoy annoying fellow beings, but I am not thinking it's a godly atribute.

Tonight I am going to spend hours journaling. I want to write done really important things about my summer and life. I will post some of my newfound treasures. At Covie I learned so much and I want to tell you all about it, so that you too can benefit. I would also be interested in what it was that you all learned. That way we can encourage eachother in the faith and challenge eachother to do the right thing.

I need to get off now. Levi really wants on here and I have things I could be helping out with. I will see you all at some point.

quickly

I am home for about 8 more minutes. Work yesterday almost killed me, but I am still breathing. I think ten hours wouldn't have been so bad if my body wasn't so messed up from this week. Anyways, I got home and planned on taking a small nap. I feel asleep at 6 and work up at 6. Twelve hours of sleep is the rarest of all treats. I think that last time I slept for 12 hours was like 2 years ago. I know, to most of you that is normal occurance but I am serious.

Ok I got to go get my hair up and such. I will see you all at worship tomorrow. We shall come before the presence of God together.

I am back.

Yes, we just arrived home from Covfamikoi. I fully enjoyed myself, in case anyone cares to know. I do dearly wish to hear from those of you whom I have not spoken to for many weeks. *sigh* I know that summer brings changes and with those changes one must deal with different levels of communication, but I don't think I was prepared for it.

My garden is doing so well. Even in my absence it somehow managed to survive. Actually I am very grateful that it rained so much this week. There are many reasons, but my garden is surely happier when God sends water from Heaven; for that matter, so am I.

I just wanted to check in. I am so tired and I have a huge weekend ahead of me, sadly enough. I am working from 7-5 tomorrow at Chick-Fil-A. I have never ever worked that long. True enough I have not worked there for many months, but still. Saturday I work from 7-2 or something. I got very little sleep this week, but I think I will take a nap so that I can make it to study tonight and not just be dead to this world or something.

I am glad to be home. Love you guys.

Getting ready for all 13 of us to leave:

Ok, it might only take your family half a day to get ready to all be gone for a week. It takes my family so much planning, so much time, so much team work. Unreal.

It's crazy at my house. Anyways, I need to help out now. I will be working today, but other than that I will around, so try to you know, comment to make me happy. You guys haven't been very good at that lately. I know it's summer and such, but don't you still love me?

I understand this shouldn't even count as a post. I will try to write again before I leave for a while, see you guys.

things I do

Yesterday I cut all the little boys hair. Yes, buzzes, all of them. It was very fun. I had never given buzzez before. Anyways, I was so imspired by the event, that yesterday evening I trimmed my own hair. I have never even tried doing that before, and in the past I had a objection to it. I didn't trust myself, now I do.

Anyways, it's sorta risky telling you all this, so don't like judge me or anything. I know it isn't as good as it could be, but hey it saved me 15 bucks, and the trouble of trying to set a time with Amy. Also, I only cut what I wanted to, I didn't have to sit there in depression watching my hairdresser cut more hair then I wanted on the ground.

Have a great day. I have to go.

Something I made up:

ABC's of my life:

Adoring the Maker

Becca, is what I'm commonly called

Changing with time, like the plants in my garden

"Devoted" is what my name means

Ever needy of care, knowing I must also give it

Frequent speech is a weakness

Gentle and meek like Christ, I seek

Hard to handle most of the time

I like to be with people all the time

Just trying to live life with maintained passion

Kept in a hosue with 11 children

Longing to be all together lovely

Mostly tired most the time

Naughty, but nice when watched

Open to new ideas (ok not really)

Proud, too proud

Quite the little drama child

Ready and willing to give what it takes

Steadfast and loyal, is the way Bob shall be

Totally and fully the best at just about everything

Until futher notice, completly available

Very much so loving summer

West. A trip I must soon take. Want to come?

Xcited that tomorrow we can live another day

You know you love me

Zachtified is my new word (I just made that up)



Ok you try.

I am back, and leaving again:

I just got home from Worldviews Acadmey Camp. Margs and I road back with Mrs. Judd. I am glad to be home and see everyone, though it was a great week of learning.

I now will be leaving for the wedding of my cousin. I will try very hard to be at church on Sunday, but if I am not, it's because my dad decided to stay. I would be rather sad about that, though it shouldn't happen.

Ok, have a lovely weekend all.
