Jude 1:20-25
"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen."
I am thankful...
For the beauty of snow and the silence it leaves on the air. I am thankful for God's goodness and kindness seen in all of His creations! I am thankful for a sister I can still enjoy a fun snowball fight with, and for a digital camera to enjoy taking pictures of good times.
Journal Entry #4
---- I am well again, yay! Snow and ice and snow again have fallen upon our lands... okay, this is a lot harder to write and keep on topic while watching The Two Towers, but oh well. :) I've learned it is much easier to take pictures when it is not snowing, also when it is daylight, also when I am not wearing slippers. Our garage has been so frozen of late, Joy and I have had lengthy "fights" over who should fetch items from the freezer and refrigerator out there.
---- Grandpa is in the hospital again, and we will probably be moving on or around New Years, so there is much to pray about. In times like this when everyone is very stressed and things are not going well, I turn to God's Word and spend time in prayer. The Lord has ever been faithful to our family and I know we all trust Him to help us now. Matthew 28:18-20 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
The End.

1 John 3:1
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not."
I am thankful...
That I know the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour and I know He loves and cares for me all the time. Thank you, Lord, for everything! I am thankful just to be a child of the King.
Journal Entry #3
---- One whole week. That's how long I have been sick, sleeping on the couch, gone, out of it. I have so much work to do, and I've only just begun! There are people I need to get laughing, terrible jokes and witty comments to be made, Joy to tease, people to jabber with, cookies to be absconded (well, actually, they need to be made first), tons of fun to be had!!
---- Actually, the reality is we are moving in a week or so, so I need to help the rest of my family pack up all our belongings, stuff, junk, trinkets, toys, parkas, matchboxes, computers, wait do we even have any parkas?, coats, my journals, Joy's horsey stuff, my puzzles, and that's the most of it but there's tons more we've collected over the last 8 years, not counting the stuff we had before we moved in here. *gasp* *breathe* *yikes!*
---- The Lord is good, as He always is! So many friends and family have volunteered to help us move, it's amazing and wonderful to see how God is taking care of us every day. We trust in Him always. On that note, I trust Bob and Chuck are having fun down in California, and even though they can't come home for Christmas I'm glad they have so many wonderful godly friends down there to share this season of remembering our Lord Jesus Christ with.
The End.

"Be Strong and of a Good Courage"
Joshua 1:9
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
I am thankful...
For the wonderful opportunities and experiences I have had singing in the Clark College Women's Choral Ensemble, Clark College Concert Choir, and our church choir, and for any choir I've ever sung in for that matter! Thank you, especially, all my wonderful choir directors!
Journal Entry #2
---- La de da, la, de, da, so, tomorrow is Monday. I have my History final from 10-12AM, then my Astronomy final from 5-7PM. Exciting?! Maybe, mostly stressful, though. Mama and Joy have their Theory final from 10-12 and no I don't really envy them even though I'm positive I would do better on their final than I will on my Astronomy final. Actually, I'm not being very positive, so I shouldn't say that.
---- In other news, Joy and company had fun decorating the church today while I did homework in Pastor's office. Lugging around my backpack at church was kind of an unusual sensation, but its all good because we ate oatmeal cookies with white chocolate chips in them after church. Yum! Chocolate cures most everything.
---- Quick Note: in case you are wondering why the url says "ruthies pictoral blog", that is because I will be adding a pictures for every post (and sadly, I just now realized I misspelled that). That said, the pictures will not always have been taken the same day as the post they accompany, they are merely a visual aid. Wow, that was boring.
---- God is Good! That's all there is to it!

"In Everything Give Thanks"
1 Thessalonians 5:18
"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
---- First of all, I'd like to announce, well, this is my first post in "Ruthie's Journal", but also I will be adding a Bible verse AND one thing I am thankful for every day I post on this blog.----
I am thankful...
For a Saviour, family, and friends that truly do care about me, and are nice to me even when I'm crabby and get annoyed because I'm either tired, stressed, or just plain feeling mean. Thank you for being so patient and loving me even though I know I don't deserve it! Thank you!
Journal Entry #1
---- I'll say it right now, this has been a very very very stressful and crazy week for me, and this coming Monday should be equally crazy. I had a Women's Choral Ensemble concert at the Portland Grotto on Monday, and another performance with the same group on Thursday at Clark College. Then Friday night I sang with the Concert Choir at the Vancouver School of Arts and Academics. Wow, that took way less energy to type that for me to write in my normal journal! I could get used to this! :)
---- Enough about me, Joy and Kayla popped in on Heather and Holly today at the tea house they work at, and the only suveneir I got was a handful of Christmas-colored popcorn. Tasty! ;) Okay, fine I can't avoid not editing myself in, oh well. Monday morning and evening I have finals, my last major scary finals. PRAY lots for me (just don't cast any)!
---- I already miss singing in my choirs, and can't wait to start in on our new music for next quarter. So what if we are moving in-between now and then I want to sing!! Great job everyone who is reading this and performed last week. You were truly amazing! Smile! :^)
---- Okay, I'm not going to make these long, just short synopsis and introspection on how things are going. I played a fun network computer version of Knights and Cities of Catan game with two of my older brothers today, and won! Oh, and after the concert last night I totally convinced Jeremy to buy Joy and I chocolate hazelnut milkshakes at Burgerville, and they had a cherry red Corvette inside! *drool* Sorry.
---- Short, yes, I promised this would be short, someone make me stop typing, this is too easy, please, anyone, must type, don't want to prepare for finals too much work shouldn't have eaten that third burrito and two green bananas but I don't really care and why am I typing like this I haven't even had coffee in over a year unless you count the chocolate covered espresso beans Shannon gave me. Thank you Shannon! You're a life saver! ----
