Sweet Jamie

  Hello all, I have another Q and A with  a super sweet young lady whose name is Jamie. Her  blog I have also so very much enjoyed reading. She is such an encouragement to me. I hope y'all enjoy what she has to say as much as I do!

                                         Her Blog is:http://diligentlywaiting.blogspot.com/



 "About Her"
I'm a 14 year old girl, child of the King, sister to one awesome brother (18) and one fun-loving sister (19), daughter to two wonderful parents, and friend to as many as possible! I love to sew, and have been doing it for several years. I also enjoy embroidery, reading, writing, playing piano, blogging, daydreaming ;), gardening, kickball, swing dancing, cooking and baking (mostly baking), nature, kiddos, and learning new things!I wear skirts pretty much every day, since it is the best way I have found to be modest. However, I don't judge those who don't have the same convictions at all! It is also convenient for me, since skirts and dresses are much easier to sew than pants! =)

And then some questions I asked her.:-)
#1 What is your favorite book of the Bible?
Wow, that's a hard decision!  Probably either Ruth, Esther, Psalms, or Proverbs...I really can't decide between those four! =)

#2 Do you like to listen to music?  If so what kind?
I LOVE listening to music!  I listen to Laura Story, Ame Shreve, Casting Crowns, The Story CD, and things like that.  Of course, I often listen to a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, etc. but always Christian music.  I don't need to be filling my head with love songs and such!

#3 If you could have any super power, what would it be?*smiles*
To always have patience with everyone.  Does that count?!  Ha!  Probably flying...?

#4 What are some of your favorite books?
Before You Meet Prince Charming by Sarah Mally, Raising Maidens of Virtue by Stacy McDonald, and In the Presence of my Enemies by Gracia Burnham (I'm not quite finished with this one, but I can say it's one of my favorites!), among many others!

#5 How do you do your Bible time everyday?
Every morning I try to read it for at least 30 minutes or more, and I usually have a Bible journal that I write down my notes/thoughts in (although currently I am in need of a new journal, since my old one is full).  I also usually read my Bible for a few minutes before I go to bed at night.  I don't currently have a devotional book, though I would like one.

#6 Is there a certain person,either in your family or friends, or maybe in Bible times that you really look up too? (besides Jesus of course):-)?
The main one would probably be my piano teacher.  She is 18 years old, and an amazing pianist and singer.  But the thing I love most about her is her obvious love for the Lord.  She is SO devoted to Him, and you can just see His love in her eyes. =) Her blog is delightinginJesusathome.blogspot.com. =)

Thank you for doing this Jamie....I really enjoyed it!!!!!!!!!!:-)

2012 Set Apart Girl Conference at Ellerslie

Song of Solomon 2:2

Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens

I had the privilege of getting to go to the Set Apart Girl Conference. It was such a sweet time.....The theme this year was Lily Among Thorns. They talked a lot about serving others and pouring yourself out for Jesus, total surrender.....Everything they say is so true and you can really feel Christ there! I highly recommend going....It was one of the highlights of my year, not to mention all the new sweet people I met! Here is the website for the conference and the Ellerslie site!http://setapartgirl.com/home.html http://www.ellerslie.com/Home.html I cant wait to go back!

Me and Eric Ludy, we were bummed his wife Leslie was not there the last day so I did not get a picture with her:-(

Me and Eliza. Funny story, me and Eliza have actually been Penpals for about a year and I had never met her and did not know she was coming to the Set Apart Conference, I just happened to look behind me and she was sitting right there:-) So glad I got to meet you Eliza!

To My Mom:-)

May your mother be glad; may she who gave you birth rejoice! - Proverbs 23:25

Dear Mom,

I love you so much ,and I hope this is the most joyful and wonderful Mothers day for you!

Me and my Mom a few years back:-)

You have taught me so many things from serving to femininity,Godliness,and every thing in between. You are the most Godly woman I know.  I have so much fun  hanging out with you and chatting. You truly are my best friend for life. I am so thankful to God for you.  You and daddy have taught us that God is the only thing that matters.  Thank you so much for always sticking up for us kids, when the other moms are putting there kids down, and saying that there kids are a burden. You always say we are a blessing. You are the most selfless, kind, encouraging ,sweet,and  most loving mom in the world ,and I could not imagine  life without you. Thank you for helping me with anything I need help with. When I say I am having a bad day you always let me cuddle with you and talk.  You should be voted number 1 mom in the world. I love you.......:-)

We were not looking for praise from men, not from you or anyone else. As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us. - Thessalonians 2:6-8

Happy Mothers Day!!!:-)
Your Daughter,
Kelsey

Matthew 18:1-3

At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
