Joni

I just finished a book called Joni. I was given this book from my good friend, Kate, when I was baptized. Thanks Kate! It is a very good book, that I strongly recommend.

It is an autobiography of Joni Eareckson Tada, who became paralyzed from the neck down when she was only 17. It is the story of an amazing woman who went through so much. It is a very encouraging and humbling story of someone who trusted the Lord and was able to cope with not being able to do almost anything because the Lord helped her.

I highly recommend it!

My Darling Sister

For my lovely new blog design, I have to thank my wonderful sister, Ruth! She spent about 45 hours (about 1 and 1/2 actually) helping me to do clever things that I didn't even know existed! Today, she has proved herself to be a bit of a clever bean with Web Designs! Thank you Ruth!

Also, thank you God for giving me such wonderful, willing to help sisters!

Our Awesome Creator

Recently I bought the computer game Sims 2. Basically it's a game where you make "people" and run and rule their lives. You can make them do whatever you want. Well, just imagine us as a bit like a Sim. There is a Creator of everything who can make us do whatever He wants. He completely rules our lives. While in Sims, I can wreck and destroy and mess up one of my character's lives, and often (accidentally) get things wrong, God NEVER messes things up, He NEVER gets things wrong, He rules our lives perfectly! In His gracious plan for human life, he doesn't wreck everyone's lives, He nurtures lives, He helps us to grow, He opens up more of His Word for us to understand. Even though He has the power to blow up the earth and cut off all human life (which is what we deserve) instead, He sent His only, beloved son to give us a chance for life. Wow! I'm very glad God is my Creator and not me!

Good Friday

Well...today is the day, when Christians all over the world remember Jesus' death on the cross - Good Friday. It's an amazing thing to remember how Jesus was willing to be beaten and mocked, to be tortured and finally killed, just for me. And what's even more amazing, is that after Jesus died, that wasn't the end. God was still planning more! He was planning for Jesus to rise again from the dead, and to fulfill earlier Scriptures in doing that!


THANK YOU JESUS!

Cool Verses!

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

However I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace.

But the Lord is faithful and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Happy 2007!

Well...today is the last day of 2006! It feels weird to think that tomorrow is a whole new year! Anyway I am posting this blog to say that I pray that everyone who reads my blog, will in this next year, grow to love and know our Lord Jesus Christ more and more, and to grow more like Him everyday!

HAVE A HAPPY 2007!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Hello! I'm sooo sorry that I haven't written in sooo long! My excuse is that last time I came to write, I had forgotten my password so I couldn't! But now I'm back (!) and ready to "Blog, blog, blog!" Well... a lot of things have happened in the past (this is so embarassing) 5 MONTHS! *arghhhhh!* Such as: me turning 12, my eldest sister going to uni in America (and returning for Christmas), Christmas, getting tickets to go and see The Sound Of Music in London(!!!!!!!!!), and me making a new friend! I haven't done much recently. Tomorrow my 2 sisters and I are going to Covent Garden to go round a few shops. Oh, by the way, there are so many *!* next to The Sound Of Music, because I am sooooooooooooooooo excited about it! My sister Ruth is taking me, just because she is soooo nice and generous! At the moment, she is in Enfield with my other sister and her friend watching a film about Beatrix Potter. Well, I can't think what else to say, so I'll go now.
Sorry again for not blogging for so long, and I'll blog again soon!

Bye!

Trip to Felixstowe

We have just got back from a long day seeing dad's side of the family. We left about 9:30 this morning and arrived at about 11:30. We then had a bit of a laze at my Granny and Dad-dad's, and had lunch. After lunch, I watched my first ever episode of "The Waltons" and went to my Aunt's and Uncle's house where 3 of my second cousins were. The eldest is 3 or 4, then the next is nearly 2, and the youngest is not yet 1! So I played with them quite a lot. And we went back to my grandparents. When we got back there, it was about 4:30 and at around 4:45 we had tea. Then we slobbed for a bit before returning at around 7:35.

Wales

Hi again! Last week we got back from a hot and relaxing week in Wales! While we were there, we went to the beach twice; we climbed a few hills; I went on a 3 1/2 hour treck on a horse; we went into town a few times, and just stayed at home reading/playing Monopoly/playing RISK. We stayed in a small cottage owned by some people who used to live near us. My favorite part was either the horseriding or the hill walks, and Smudge's favorite part was either the hill walks or killing the mouse!

Well that's all for now!

Bye!

The Lord Of The Rings

At the moment, my Dad and I are reading together The Lord of the Rings trilogy. We are up to the second one: The Two Towers. I am really enjoying reading them and they are really exciting. On my 11th birthday (last year) my dad said we could watch the first film, and then on my 12th birthday we can watch the second. So last year we watched the film before we read the book, but this year dad said we had to read the second book first. My birthday is in 2 weeks today and so we have to finish the second book (which we started 2 weeks ago) in 2 weeks!

Hello!

Hello! I have just started a blog. A bit about me: I am nearly 12 years old, have a mum, dad, 2 sisters, a dog, and a fish!
My mum's name is Sue, my dad's name is David (his blog is: http://www.davidpfield.blogspot.com/) My eldest sister's name is Sarah, and my elder sister's name is Ruth (her blog is: http://www.pickledonion.blogspot.com/).
My dog's name is Smudge, and my fish's name is Daisy. I used to have 2 fish, one called Daisy (the one I've got now) and the other Tom, after the brill toy shop in London called DAISY AND TOM. But one night Tom jumped out of his tank and "drowned!" So now I only have Daisy, but soon hopefully I'll get another one.
A bit about my family: My Dad lectures at Oak Hill College; my Mum teaches me at home; Sarah is going to a University in America in August and is 19; Ruth has a job in London and is 17; Smudge spends his life sleeping, eating, getting taken for walks, getting cuddled, scratching (!) and is 5; and Daisy spends her time being a goldfish and isn't yet 1!
At the moment it is 21:06 on Thursday the 20th of July 2006! My favorite colours, as you can tell, are pink, purple, and (I haven't yet got to it) orange!
