Blog Overhaul!

2010-02-08T11:49:00.000-06:00

Dear readers of "Thoughts from the King's Daughters", As my 18th birthday is quickly approaching (four days away, to be exact!), I have developed the creative urge to overhaul my blog using my newly acquired skills with xHTML and CSS. (Thanks to Daddy...) My new blog is here: http://26000days.blogspot.com/ Followers, if you'll be so kind to transfer your following to 26 Thousand Days, it would

It Starts at the Beginning You bring home the most cherished gift you've ever received in your whole life. The majority of the population has one, but no one has one even remotely comparable to yours! The softest, sweetest smelling, most beautiful baby that you hold safely locked in your cradled arms, may not be your first, or last, but there is no other in the whole world like it. You seem

Today… January 4, 2010Outside my window… There isn't an open window in view. How sad!!!I am thinking… about Valerie coming this evening!I am thankful for… A billion things. God's answered so many prayers! My Christina is staying, Val is here safe and sound, Marmy's having a baby... and life is WONDERFUL!

New Year's Eve Musings

2010-01-01T17:00:00.005-06:00

What a fabulous time we had last night as we brought in the New Year with dear family and friends!The evening began at four in the afternoon when our family gathered in the gymnasium that we rented in the middle of town. We set up the tables with an assortment of bright colored tablecloths and lavished them with pots of steaming chili, boiled shrimp, cold salads, seasoned corn and potatoes, chips

2009-12-30T12:36:00.006-06:00

I'm not quite sure how to explain my utter astonishment and excitement...But before I share the surprise, I must explain to any readers that don't know, a little about our family.We are a family of five. Daddy and Marmy, with their children: Me (17), McCauley (15), and Jasco (12).However, the above statement of being a family of five is no longer accurate.For, yesterday, I found out news that

Day 1 A Christian HomeAs I walked through my house this morning, I counted nearly 30 displays that my Mother created by hand to promote the Word of God in our home. Many adorn the long hallway of our home. One hangs on our refrigerator to quench one's spiritual thirst as they fill up their glass to quench their physical thirst. And quite a few hang in my room, daily encouraging me in the way of

Today… November 16, 2009Outside my window… *contented sigh* As I sit out on my back patio, I see through the screen a red autumn sun which has barely made it's way above the trees, sining brightly and casting gorgeous rays of sunrise across the greyish dome, accompanied by a chorus of gusts which warn of storms quickly approaching. Such gusts carry the golden leaves with them, lifting them from

So, outside the window I see our back-porch patio with Marmy, Jasco, and McCauley all piled up on the couch drinking coffee and eating breakfast.I am thinking… about NaNoWriMo Novel - "Healing for Bekkah, Daughter of Eve".I am thankful for… November - Autumn finally shows itself

Well, NaNoWriMo 2009 has officially begun.I had convinced myself that I did not have enough time this year, and that I was not going to participate.But then I woke up this morning, nearly getting emotional about missing it.After three years of being a NaNoWri - I'm kind of attached. There's a certain spring that this contest puts into your novel-writing-step. It's probably the crazy idea that I

Early Will I Seek Thee - Joy

2009-10-20T05:52:00.004-05:00

~Joy~"Joy means sweet thoughts of Christ, melodious hymns and psalms, praises and thanksgiving, with which Christians instruct, inspire, and refresh themselves. God does not like doubt and dejection. He hates dreary doctrine, gloomy and melancholy thought. God likes cheerful hearts. He did not send His Son to fill us with sadness, but to gladden our hearts. For this reason the prophets, apostles,

Today… October 19, 2009Outside my window… A full view! The RV is being fixed up, which means it had to be torn down to the frame because the floor had to be replaced. So, for now I have a lovely, full view of the neighborhood! I see green trees that absolutely refuse to turn. I see an open, blue sky holding several large, white clouds. I see the little, red Church across the street.

Rummage Sale Treasures

2009-10-02T17:28:00.025-05:00

The other day my family and I rose early on a Saturday morning to go to our town's annual rummage sale fund-raiser. It's a town-wide event, in which citizens have the option to donate unwanted items to the town, which volunteers sell back to the public. Profits go to town funding. It's a pretty neat event because the rummage sale is relatively large compared to usual yard sales. I enjoyed

The Unfortunate Set-UpIt all started with sleeping in until 6:15. I had been getting up faithfully at 5:30 with my little brother so that we could do devotionals, and I could have some much-needed quiet study time. However, this morning we slept through our morning study time. Our time together was shortened significantly, and by the time that we actually sat down to begin studying, we had only

Since Marmy was little, her mother has been baking these fabulous brownies. They are not like traditional fudge brownies, but instead have their own, unique flavor. Everyone enjoys them in my family, and you can be sure that the heaping platter of brownies will disappear like magic almost as soon as they come out of the oven. Please enjoy our jewel of a recipe, given to my Gemaw years ago, and

2009-07-31T06:43:00.004-05:00

For the month of August, I will be studying Proverbs for verses on slothfulness. What better way to begin the study than with selections from Proverbs 31?Proverbs 31 is praising an excellent woman of virtue. So much can be gleaned from this passage, and applied to our lives. In fact, the entire passage should be used for our study on slothfulness. The Proverbs 31 woman is the polar opposite

The battles were endless, it seemed, and much too numerous to count. Some fought for the justice that was branded in their thoughts, usually by the rearing they received when once most impressionable; others fought for mere gain, which was the

Finding Meaning in Worship

2009-06-30T23:02:00.003-05:00

"Man is by nature a religious entity. He finds objects or persons to worship and will ultimately reflect that object. It is for this reason that authentic worship is pivotal for the Christian's life. True worship pulls together my conscience, heart, mind, imagination, and will. When these coalesce in unified expression, life finds its meaning." [Ravi Zacharias]It is contended by the leading
