My Calling

Once in a while, I forget why I’m doing what I’m doing - helping people through biblical counseling or just giving them a shoulder to cry on and a listening ear.  And then things happen so that I remember, like this:

 

Someone Else: dude
Someone Else: your'e like my therapeutic helper
Someone Else: ever thought about psychology?
Lizzie: *lol* Yes, actually, I'm going into counseling =P
Someone Else: good
Someone Else: you should

Rejoice! Yaaay!

Hey guys,

First of all, thank you for praying for my great grandmother.  She apparently broke her foot and is now making the nurses in the hospital mad.  I can totally see that, and it means that she's finally regained some of her old slightly testy nature and stubbornness back.

Secondly - I just got my semester exam grades back.  They make me happy, for the most part.  I know you all don't care but I'm gunna put this up anyways.

Shakespeare: 94.5% (final)
Government and Constitution: 91.1% (final)
French: 89% (semester, minus two tests which haven't been graded yet)
Vocabulary: 96% (semester)

I don't know about either science or math yet, and not everything from my home classes have been graded.  =P

Semester Classes:
  1. American History
  2. American Literature
  3. Geometry
  4. Natural Science I
  5. Constitutional Law
  6. French II
  7. God in All Worlds
  8. Philosophy and Culture
  9. Vocabulary
Yaaaay.  =)

O Love of God, How Strong and True
Horatius Bonar, 1858

O love of God, how strong and true,
Eternal and yet ever new,
Uncomprehended and unbought,
Beyond all knowledge and all thought!

O love of God, how deep and great,
Far deeper than man's deepest hate
Self-fed, self-kindled like the light,
Changless, eternal, infinite.

O heav'nly love, how precious still
In days of weariness and ill
In nights of pain and helplessness,
To heal, to comfort, and to bless!

O wide embracing, wonderous love!
We read you in the sky above,
We read you in the earth below,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow.

We read you best in him who came
To bear for us the cross of shame
Sent by the Father from on high
Our life to live, our death to die.

We read your pow'r to bless and save,
E'en in the darkness of the grave;
Still more in resurrection light
We read the fulness of your might.

O love of God, our shield and stay
Through all the perils of our way!
Eternal love, in you we rest,
Forever safe, forever blest.

We will exalt you, God and King,
And we will ever praise your name;
We will extol you ev'ry day,
And evermore your praise proclaim.


---

These dudes really had it down.

Please Pray

Hey guys,

Can ya'll please keep my great-grandma (Gammy) in your prayers?  She's 93 years old, and my Grandma just called and told me that she had been put into the hospital.  Considering her age, this isn't very startling, but she's not a Christian - please pray that she'll come to know Jesus as her Savior.  That's the most important thing of all.

Thanks,
Lizzie

The Pursuit of Happyness

Rating: PG-13 for language & themes
Director: Gabriele Muccino
Featuring: Will Smith, Jaden Smith (father and son)
 
What's the deal? Chris Gardner (Will Smith) tries to sell bone-density machines for a living, but it doesn't go well.  His wife leaves him, he and his son (Jaden Smith) get evicted, and he gets taught how to become a stock broker (while he's living on the streets).  Fun stuff.

How long, Oh Lord? 117 minutes - it seemed like the perfect length to me.  I was ready to be finished, but I wasn't dashing from the theatre afterwards.

What was cool? Will Smith & Jaden Smith are actually father and son, and you could really tell when they were on screen.  It was awesome.  And Will Smith wasn't funny - it was a nice change to see if he could actually act, which he definitely could.

What was n't?  While overall the movie promoted good things, it fell down on the job when it came to honesty.  That wasn't cool, but it was pretty obvious, so it didn't bother me too much.

Cautions:  Language.  The kid uses the f-word once or twice, and other than that, I didn't really notice it.  There wasn't much besides that to avoid in particular, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this movie for younger children.

The result?  I enjoyed it.  I didn't really think I would (and the grammatical error in the title didn't make me happy, but it does have a purpose, I promise!), but I was pleasantly surprised.  Recommended for older teens and adults.
