How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wonder from your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes. With my lips I have declared all the judgements of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and comtemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.
~Psalm 119:9-16(NKJV)
Hi! I saw a comment of yours on the blog Heart of Praise, and since you have the same name I do, down to the same spelling (which is rather unusual -- I can never find pens or pads of paper with our spelling!), I just had to come check out your blog. Let me say now I like what I read! I am the same age, although I will be turning 16 on the 23rd of this month. I must admit, you are a much more faithful blogger than I am -- but that is mostly since my dad doesn't want me to spend time on Blogger every day, and besides, since I am also homeschooled (and in 10th grade!) I don't have much time to do my blogging. Also, not all my posts are necessarily spiritual, although many of them are. I think I will begin following your blog, and, if you don't mind, I'll put a link on mine to yours to make it easier for me to read yours. I don't necessarily agree with you on *every* *single* issue (personally, I don't like skirts since they are usually pretty restricting, but of course I always wear a dress/skirt to church), but on so many I do. Also, I was reading your testimony, and I can really identify, since the first move I ever remember making was when we moved from Phoenix, AZ to Tucson, AZ, in the same month that I turned 12...and then six months later we moved to California...and then a year later we moved again...and 9 months later we moved again...we've been here for over a year now, and are attending a tiny independant fundamentalist Baptist church (my family were three of the founding 9 members!). Anyway, this is getting to be a long comment, so I'll end by saying I look forward to following your blog from now on!
