School and Things

I was going to post a long blog post last night, but I realized how late it was and didn't have enough time. Hopefully tonight will make up for it. :)

Since Friday is our family's "Shopping Day", I was wondering this morning if I should go or stay at home and do school. I didn't go last week so I thought I might as well  go this week. Then it hit me.
If you REALLY want to CATCH UP on school then you are going to have to DO SCHOOL, even if it means not doing "fun" things that you would rather be doing; which in my case, is going shopping.

If you are behind in school one of the worst things to do, in my opinion, is to get all upset because everyone else your age is doing  such and such and your not- in my case, everyone else, my age, is in 11th grade and I am not. That is one of my personal weaknesses- comparing myself with others.

Now, before you ask. You are now wondering what grade exactly I am in...
Well, you might want to sit down while you read this.
I am in a mixture of different grades. To be exact; because everyone likes to read details:
I am in 6th grade Math; 7th grade in Bible, Vocabulary, Science, and History; and 9th grade in English. My Science can be also for grades 9th to 12th, but my curriculum gives it in 7th; but I don't mind, since I like Science anyway.

I think it doesn't matter what grade you are in as much as it matters that you learn what you are learning well.

With all honesty, one of my favourite choices my family has made over the years is that we got ride of the TV. We had one on and off for a couple of years, but it became a bad distraction from our duties in life and so we got rid of it for good.
We also used to watch movies all the time- at all times of the day. That, or course, distracted me from my school. Now a days we usually don't watch movies and even if we do, it is usually after supper, not during school.
Please note, I am not saying that watching TV or movies is bad, (well, some are) but that movie and TV watching MUST be limited to after supper/ when your other work it done. That is something I want to implement in my family's life when I get married.

I do want to express my utmost gratitude to all those who have, and are, keeping me in their prayers. It means so much to me!

So today, I did school, while Tabitha and Mommy went shopping. And, no, I don't regret it at all. :)

There was some laundry that needed to be put on the line to dry, but since Mommy usually does it and she wasn't here, I went outside for a while putting them up to dry. It was a very relaxing job actually.


Today is two years since my brother has left our home. We love him and he has been on our thoughts and prayers. We hope and pray he will live up to his name-- to glorify the Lord God, Maker of heaven and earth.
Much thanks to the many friends who have and continue to pray for him! <3

So, thanks again for stopping by!
Must be off now for it is 11:37 p.m.
