A Date With Mama

Today I had a fun date with Mama! First we left for my Orthodontist appointment. Was. not. very. nice. It hurt, and is still hurting. I got teal bands :) They are very bright!

Then we were deciding where to go to lunch, neither of us were very hungry so we decided to go to Baskin Robins! I got Watermelon ????? (<something) It was pink watermelon ice cream with dark chocolate "seeds" It was so cute and SO good!

Then we went to, well we tried to go to a book store and it was closed. SO we went to The Shoe Station. Mama bought some Crocks :) Then we went to Life Way.

Then we went to the doctor, then to Target. We got some fun stuff :) Then we went to Barns and Nobles and I got some more Warrior books! They are about cat Worriors... kind of odd...

Then I took a nap on the way home :) We had a wonderful time! I always have a fun time with my Mama!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Bethie!

Today is my sisters birthday! But you are probably thinking about her age, I am talking about her accepting Jesus into her heart, becoming a new creation, a child of God, .... a Christian....

I am so proud of my little sis! She is now my Sister in Christ as well as my sister IRL (in real life)! She is a sweet girl who might talk your ear off if you give her the chance! She is very caring, and has a tender heart. She loves dogs, and well pretty much all creatures (except spiders!... well now she says they are cute! Go figure! ;)

She has been worrying lately, so Grace, Daddy and I went to see our Grandparents and let them have a little time to talk. She told Mama all her worries, but they were just there. Finally she told Mama in tears she just wished she was a Christian! Beth excepted Christ as her savior and Lord, and now is bouncing off the walls!

Congrats Beth! And Happy Birthday!!!!

Emma

Just To Be Mean (not much) ;)

I thought I would be a little mean to y'all and tell y'all about my day...

So this morning I did not go to church because of my really bad swelling on my face...nuf said... And after 13 years of going to church each Sunday, it does not feel like Sunday!!! So Mama and I stayed home and watched a Christian video about a Christian family. After that we cleaned our dirty house. Then our family got home and a little later I weeded my garden ("Gardening is not for the faint at heart!" -Emma Margaret) But I am glad it is done!  Then Lunch came along! (this is where I will be mean and make y'all jelouse)

We had steak! (<--- my fav :)

Sorry to be so mean, it was so good!

Then we went and took some pictures, but some did not turn out good because of my swollen cheek :'(

Have a good Sunday!

I have missed y'all!  Alot has happened! Mother's Day was good, we cooked lunch for our Grandmothers and Mama (with help from Mama ;) I gave Mama a rose :) Not very big, but she liked it! lol

Monday I had sewing (period)

Tuesday Grace had a lesson with her tutor, but her tutor is also my sewing teacher, and my sewing teacher has a daughter and son which are my friends. I had SO MUCH FUN WITH THEM!!!!

Wednesday we went on a field trip but I will blog about that later! <lots of fun :)

Thursday I had.... SURGERY!!!! Oral surgery. We waited an hour, then I had to wait 30 min. alone in the surgery room. I had drunk too much Apple Juice so they were not able to give me as much anastisia but all I remember is the doctor came in we talked a little he put the needle in he gave me something through the needle and I started to get dizzy... and I closed my eyes... and then there was the nurse bringing in the wheel chair to take me out to the car. It was not bad at all! I hurt a little after the surgery but that was it. but now I am VERY  VERY VERY swollen! It is crazy! But it does not hurt (???)

So I slept a good bit :)

Glad to be back! See y'all soon!!

(listen to this song, it is one of my favs ;) Live Like That: by Side Walk Prophets LLOOOVVEEE this song! "I wanna live like that!!!!"

Sometimes I think
What will people say of me
When I'm only just a memory
When I'm home where my soul belongs

Was I love
When no one else would show up
Was I Jesus to the least of us
Was my worship more than just a song

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Am I proof
That You are who you say You are
That grace can really change a heart
Do I live like Your love is true

People pass
And even if they don't know my name
Is there evidence that I've been changed
When they see me, do they see You

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that

I want to show the world the love You gave for me
I'm longing for the world to know the glory of the King

I want to live like that
And give it all I have
So that everything I say and do
Points to You

If love is who I am
Then this is where I'll stand
Recklessly abandoned
Never holding back

I want to live like that
I want to live like that
I want to live like that

Did I mention I love this song? ;)

Have a great week!!!

Your Sister in Christ,

Emma Margaret D.

Fridays Music: All This Time

This is one of my favorite songs!!! Enjoy!

This Time: by Britt Nicole

I remember the moment
I remember the pain
I was only a girl
But I grew up that day
Tears were falling
I know You saw me

Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone
I was doing my best
Trying to be strong
No one to turn to
That's when I met You

All this time
From the first tear cry
'Til today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ooooooooh
You've been walking with me all this time

Ever since that day
it's been clear to me
That no matter what comes
You will never leave
I know You're for me
And You're restoring

Every heartache and failure
Every broken dream
You're the God who sees
The God who rescued me
This is my story
This is my story

All this time
From the first tear cry
'Til today's sunrise
[. From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/britt-nicole-lyrics/all-this-time-lyrics.html .]
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ooooooooh
You've been walking with me all this time

I hear these people asking me
How do I know what I believe?
Well I'm not the same me
And that's all the proof I need
I felt love, I felt Your grace
You stole my heart that day

Ooooooooh
Youve been walkin with me all this time

All this time
From the first tear cry
To today's sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You've been walking with me all this time

Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
You've been walking with me all this time
Ever since the first tear cry
It was You, You and I
You've been walking with me all this tim

Out Of My Comfort Zone

Do any of you have trouble coming out of there comfort zone when witnessing to people? I sure do! A while back I started trying to say "God Bless You!" To people who helped at a checkout counter etc. but I kinda quit doing it... Ray Comfort put it this way about witnessing...

If there were 2 children playing under an elevator and they were about to be crushed, what would we do? Would we say oh there strangers, I'm not going to help them or Oh well they look like there having fun. NO we would go pull them out!

That is the way with Christianity, They may be having fun, or be strangers, but who would want them to go to hell.

I feel so blessed to be born into a Christian family. I will be a Christian for 5 years this November. I remember the day it happened. I was practicing a song with the pastors wife and a friend and I had a solo. It went "When I am week you make me strong, when I am blind you shine your light on me, 'cause I'll never get by living on my own ability" and it hit me. I had to keep the tears back and as soon as the song was over I went to the bathroom to pray. When I got home Mama and Mrs Peeta talked FOREVER ;) That is what it felt like, but after that we talked (and cried) and I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

Do any of y'all remember that moment? How happy you were? I want to be like that. Like a new Christian. Someone excited about there faith. So I am going to start on this blog telling people about Jesus then I will move on to bigger things (like the reel world ;). If any of you have questions about all this feel free to comment or to email me at EmmaMargaret1999(at)gmail(dot)com

Have a great day!

You sister in Christ,
Emma Margaret D.
