Woven and Spun
By Nichole Nordeman
Pencil marks on the wall. Wasn't always this tall, you scattered some monsters from beneeth my bed. You watched my team win, you watched my team lose. You watched when my bicycle went down again. Oh,when I was weak. Unable to speak, I simply called you by name. And I said. Elbow healer. Super Hero. Come if you can. And you said, "I AM"

  Well, it has a while again since the last time I wrote. Life has been...well...*sigh* enough said. No, life has been really really good, just very busy trying to get ready to leave for DTS. I leave tomorrow. 

 We had a great Christmas! It was soo cool. My mom found me this whole book series that I wanted. But the books are really old and hard to find but she did! It was awesome!

   Then we had a really big party at our house the day after Christmas. It was great, the Metts, the Bergs, the Ericksons, The Miller Girls, Bryce, Denae, Creagon all came. I got to meet Creagon's sister, Kaitlyn(sp). She is soo cool. So, we had a really good time.

  But the big that I'm writing right now is to ask whoever reads this to Please Pray for my Daddy! He is really really sick. He already has a whole bunch of back and neck problems but then one of his teeth became infected. Normally not too big of a problem but they haven't been able to get him in yet to take care of it.....So, now the bacteria has spread all over his body, and he is very sick. Please please please Pray for him!!

 More later! As I start my new adventure!

       Adieu!

 Well, I'm done with work;yesterday was the end.  It was sad. I'm really going to miss everyone. But it does feel good also. I now have the time and inspiration to get things done.

 Well, today should be a blast! At 11:30, Mom and I are going dress shopping for me! Then at 2:00 I'm getting my hair done! Thank you Lord! It's been soooo long! I look like something my cat dragged in. lol. And then tonight, Mom, Grandma, a few Aunts, Steph, and I are going to dinner at Grand Mere(very nice restaurant) and then on to the Mendle Center for a show. I'm really excited! The occasion is the celebration of mine and my Aunt Julie's B-days. Mine was the 12th and her's is the 26th. We always do something together.

  Well, I've still been reading through Psalms. Wow. What thoughts that Lord has. He is my all time favorite author. Psalm 119 is very long and very inspiring. I recomend all of you read it. But read it slowly, and when  you have time to think. But if you don't then read it anyway. The Lord works through rushed people just as well as calm. With him we can take a permanent rest. Have you ever thought about that? When we are trusting the Lord and in tune with Him. He gives us the "peace that passes all understanding", in other words the peace that blows all human minds away! He wants to take all of our problems, troubles, hurts, heart-aches, tears, pains, as well as our praises, joy, smiles, and laughter. Don't forget that. His rest and peace has only two conditions....Obey and Give. Obey the loving guidelines he has set for our safety and then give Him all of the stuff that life hands us. *sigh*  Happy thought!

 Well, that's all for now! Love and many blessings!

     Adieu!

I'M BACK!  Sorry for the very long leave of absense!! But I'm back and hopefully will not stop writing again!

 Well, life has been very busy lately! I've been working up a storm, but my very last day is tomorrow and I'm very sad about it. I really do love it! I haven't been writing so nobody knows...now I wish I had. The people I work with are wonderful. There's Sandra and her husband Dale, and their two kids Audrey and Jake. Then the girls I work with are Cara, Kim, and Teresa. And last but not least, Ari washes dishes and does the floors and stuff like that. The people we get to serve are really nice too. There are two people in particlar that I love. Howard and Shirlie! There a two very nice older people who come in every day! Howard has nick-named me the "Hungarian Honey" and he also lets me barrow old movies from his collection! and Shirlie is like the ultimate Grandma. She's just soo nice.   I'm really going to miss them!   The reason I'm leavig work is that on the 29th of December, I leave for my DTS! Yeeaaa!!! I'm really getting excited. And I'm very happy to say, that because of the Lord and all my saving, after my last pay check I will have my whole DTS paid for! All of it! Thank you, Jesus!   So, right now my goal is to get ready to leave and keep my sanity. It is going to be a very busy Christmas season. Bryce comes home from his DTS on Saturday for a break, Mike is coming home from Sweden soon too, and the Bergs are coming to MI for Christmas! So, I'm very excited.   I also just had my birthday!!!  I'm now 20 years old! SCARY but true!

  but How are you guys doing??? What's new??    Is there anythig that I could be praying about for you?     If you guys could be praying for me as I go through all of this stuff that would be great!

       BlessingS!

Hello!

 Well, I had a really nice day yesterday. I've been feeling all week that I needed to get away and have some time with the Lord.. So, yesterday after work, I went down town to the bluff, sat on one of the those big swings and did some quite time. It was so cool and sunny, and beautiful.   I read Psalms 44 for the first time. It's really intersting. At first David starts out praising God for His faithfulness and power, but then he moves on the asking him why he has forsaken his people....I think that David was trying to remind himself what God had done in the past and then grabbing hold of God's garments and begging him to do it again. It's very intersting. What do you think?

  "During the day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me---a prayer to the God of my life."  Psalms 42:8

Deuteronomy 4 and Hebrews 4! Your thought?

 Life's going quite well. Mom and Dad got back safe and sound. (they were out of town this weekend).  OH!!! I'm soo exctited one of the swedish girls that I got to talk to when we were in Gotland just e-mailed me!! Her nams is Linn and we also talked to her friend Linda. But she got my addy from Mike. But it was just so cool to hear from her! Please be praying for her. She is going to this Bible study and prayer time that Mike is a part of. She told me that she is not a Christian but that maybe she would be someday. She also said that she really likes when they read the Bible and pray together. So, I think the Lord is working on her heart!

    Blessings, Blessings, Blessings!
