Snow!

I went to Ethan's viola lesson today as usual on my way to my YSE rehearsal( I have a concert Saturday!!) and in between ethans lesson and orchestra Ethan and went into Fred Myer to buy some of their warm bread to eat as a snack. well... the bread turned out to be cold and Ethan and i surprised mom who just thought we were getting yogurt and bread by getting chocolate and Parmesan gold fish.:)On the way out of the store, Ethan had to jump into a huge puddle(surprise!) and get me soaking wet. so... I had to go to YSE soaking wet. haha. we got a good laugh out of it though! :D And after the rehearsal wa done we were getting ready to go upstairs to theory when mom surprised me by saying we had two inches of snow and had to get home right away!!!!! My joy was uncontainable. I love snow!!! So dad met us on the back roads and on the third try we got up our slippery hill!! And no I did not scream as we slid backwards.And the lights are flickering so I better go!

YAY!!!!

Earlier this week a lady from FCHM, which is our co-op, emailed the first class chat group and asked if anybody knew of a christian highschooler who could give her daughter Abigail violin lessons. Mom and I emailed her back right away and said I would love to!! After that we emailed back and forth a couple times and tonight we called her and set up a date! I am going to teach Abigail this Tuesday at 3:30. :) I am going to give her a couple trial lessons to see if we would be a good fit and let her borrow some of my music books so she doesn't have to buy anything until we are sure. I am really excited and thankful that God has given me a job besides housecleaning, which I did for a while. She also said she was going to pass my name on to a couple of her friends who are looking for a teacher also. Praise Jesus!! Have a wonderful night!! :)

#1 random fact of the day: planes take off into the wind. until today i had no idea. never had really thought about it either.one would think an airplane would take off with the wind. or at least i would. ;)

Psalm 32:1 " Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Psalm 103:1 " Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

"My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, oh my soul,

And Lord haste the day when my faith shall be sight
And the clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul"

I used to have NCFCA Apologetics and Orchestra but that is over for the summer.Well, I hope everybody is doing well out there! :0 And I promise to post again soon!

The Brook

"I come from haunts of coot and hern, I make a sudden sally, and sparkle out among the fern, To bicker down a valley.
By thirty hills I hurry down, or slip between the ridges, By twenty thorps, a little town, and half a hundred bridges.
'Till last by Phillips farm I flow, to join the brimming river, for men may come and men may go , but I go on forever.
I chatter over stony ways, in little sharps and trebles, I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret by many a field and fallow, and many a fairy foreland set, with willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow to join the brimming river, for men may come and men may go but I go on forever.
I wind about , in and out, with here a blossom sailing, and here and there a lusty trout, and here and there a grayling.
And here and there a foamy flake upon me,as I travel, with many a silvery water-break above the golden gravel.

I steal by lawns and grassy plots, I slide by hazel covers; I move the sweet forget-me-nots that grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance, among my skimming swallows;I make the netted sunbeams dance against my sandy shallows.
I murmur under moon and stars, in brambly wildernesses;I linger by my shingly bars, I loiter round my cresses;
And out again I curve and flow, to join the brimming river, for men may come and men may go but i go on forever."

The Lady of Shalott

"There she weaves by night and day a sacred web with colors gay. And moving through a window clear that stands before her all the year, young lads of the world appear, there she sees the highway near, winding down to Camelot. There the river eddy whirls, and the surly village churls and the red cloaks of market girls pass onward from Shalott. Sometimes a troop of damsels glad, an abbot on an ambling pad, sometimes a curly shepherd lad or long- haired page in crimson clad goes by to Camelot. And sometimes through the window blue the knights come riding two by two. She hath no loyal knight and true the Lady of Shalott."
