Did Not Expect

I remember it was yesterday I had a test to do for STEP. I thought I had got my grade higher. I did not even expect my grade to be a 97%. Apparently I thought I could have to give myself much time to improve my grade. I thought there was a way for me to realize there is not a big deal of to get one question wrong. I had received an email from my teacher which had proved me to have a 97% on that test that I had took. I just realized no matter how hard you put something to it, there is always to do it right.

I like the quote from Michael Jordan that says... I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

 I have been to do things correctly in my life, as by doing the test, and to never fail on a test, but as soon you do it over, and over again you realize you succeed. 

A New Month

This month is all about how God's Son was born. I absolutely love Christmas, and what Christmas means. I think that if I could possibly believe the true meaning of how God's Son was born. This Christmas with everybody could rejoice to cherish every moment with families. The true meaning of Christmas is  God is with us. This Christmas year take time to cherish every moment with families. That is how The Heart of Christmas goes. This also has a true meaning. This month is so joyful, and the true meaning of Christmas is "God is with us" Emmanuel.

Merry Christmas to all of you!!

What is the concept of Thanksgiving?

We all know Thanksgiving is when we give thanks. We all have our own things what we are thankful for in our own lives. The most important thing what I am thankful for is when Jesus had commanded to Peter to come to walk on water. I am thankful that Jesus had done that. It talks about this in the Bible. As give thanks we are giving thanks to God for what He had provided us. I think we should have Thanksgiving everyday just because we give thanks to God what He has provided us. Thanksgiving is so good, and as we give thanks to God. I love to give thanks to God for many things in my life.


Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. :)

Career Fair

"My classmates" my friends, and I were at the Taxslayer Center as known as i wireless center for a Career fair. I had absolutely enjoyed it, and I also had fun. I had asked lots of questions which kinds of jobs, and careers with the employers. I had asked them about what kinds of jobs do they have. I have been taking this really seriously. I had practiced handshaking at nearly 20 booths, and doing it by taking seriously. I decided to do this seriously. I am actually in the news. It is where I, and all of my classmates as my friends were at.  Moline career fair caters to job-seekers with disabilities.   I am glad I got the great privilege of doing this seriously. This is for our field trip for today.   

Enjoy this video.

Improved / Test

Today I never had realized how this test was today. This test is actually for STEP which I never had realized. I am finding out I am actually really am improving. I had found out I got a 100% A. Which does shocks me. I did not even expect it. When I was taking the test today I had whispered I don't think I am passing this class. I did not even expect my teacher had heard me when I was whispering. She is really resourceful, and is also determined. My favorite important subject is STEP. I am glad I am able to be doing this. I decided to do this for 2 years. I thank to my teacher who is encouraging me all the time, and I do appreciate that. 

How much improvement

 

Just Amazed

Today in STEP I did a test. I was not really surprised how the test went. I thought this was not expected. I found out after my teacher had graded it. I got a 100% A on the test, the one I took today. I had a thought that came in mind. When I was taking this test today I was considering this blows my mind. I certainly am absolutely positive with the test I had taken was quite thoughtful or maybe call it interesting. Tonight, "tomorrow" Friday night, Saturday, and on Sunday we are going to have a bigger celebration. I can't wait for that.

Feeling Amazed

Amazing

Today I did a test in STEP. I never realized how well I did. I thought I had improved. After I got done with the test I found out I got a 95% . I thought I got them all right , then my teacher had explain it to me that I only miss one of the true and false. After the test was done, and filling out a another practice application at the end before I left I said a 95% is not as bad what I had expected. I had a thought if I only miss only one hey not bad, a 95% is really good. 95 % A.  Tonight, and the weekend, especially tomorrow Saturday all day celebrating, and on Sunday as well. I am glad I got a 95% on that test. 

Amazement

Amazing Public Announcement

Today I did the test in STEP. I never realized how well I did. I was thinking I can't believe how this is going well. I did not even expect it at that moment. I thought this is so much improvement. Now I am noticing what the grade levels are. I don't believe this, but I am starting to believe I got 100%!!! I did not even know this happened. I don't normally have a 100% on a test in STEP. The celebration will be all day tomorrow, which I can't wait for. My father, and or my mother will say that to my brother of all of this. Thank you who is getting me to realize that I can believe this.

A percentage that's amazing!!

What is Amazed

At school today in STEP I did a study guide which is online. I actually did not know if I was getting all of them right. I thought I don't realize what had happened after I got done. When I heard my teacher said, and she also had graded it. I got 20 out of 20. I had came to an answer I had thought of that in my mind I don't think this is right, so I had fixed it before I had submitting it. When I had noticed this I never had done this correctly the last time. Tomorrow there will be a test over this. I will find out what percentage is after the test is all done. 

Doing Things With Apples

All day today I,and my mother were making applesauce,apple crisp, apple butter, and apple juice. It's been busy today. I was amazed how the applesauce, and the apple crisp, and apple juice had turned out.  I was helping my mother with making all of these. It was a job well done. We got these apples from a friend of ours Stacy. She has homegrown apples so my mother went to get it. I was glad we choose a perfect day to make these on a gray cold day. What a privilege for my mother, and I get to do this together. I get to realize today what I did not know about to see apples make / bake. My mother, and I were really surprised how long we were doing this throughout the day. I was helping my mother with the ingredient for the apple crisp. My father had took a few pictures of me while I was still focusing with the ingredient to get it all over the apple for the apple crisp.

Here is a pictures of me to get the ingredient on all over the apples for apple crisp.

Here is me getting the ingredient on all over the apples for apple crisp

 
   

More Good News

I recently today got a privilege to say a prayer in my life.  I am trying to not to convince myself to understand what I am facing though in my life. I led myself up to the Lord today. I am a child of God. I am going though a journey. I am the one who now believes what Jesus had did, is to die on the cross, and to bring me life. That is what John 3:16 in Bible,in ESV says. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. This is just an amazing moment the part of my life. I hope this also inspires you in your life. God is doing something greater in me. God has plans for me in my life. Just what Jeremiah 29:11 says in Bible,in ESV. For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. I believe God will do miraculous things in me. I now believe, and trust in God. For now I believe in the Name of Jesus. God knows the plans for my life. Hope this will inspire you,and to others as well. I am realizing I am not controlling to never be alone anymore. I am starting to believe that God speaks through every single prayer he hears.       

Much more new things to learn

Today in US history I am learning lots of things to learn. I had heard about different people just like Paul Revere,and etc from who I still don't remember the other names. The reason I do like US history I get to realize what I never knew before of why our whole entire land is important. I found this quite interesting to know. I have been getting to get myself to a explanation of why,why is this important to what was happening back in history. I am picturing a background of what kind is this full of information as I am learning in US history.   

Always to Remember

I remember when I realize different things that I have to know. I am known for the way how I could live successfully,and by the help of God.  I have to remind myself from this situations what I am facing to remember I will never miss anything from the concept of the love of God in every situation. I was suppose to remember the reasons I can be with God as much I am "singing" worshiping, and praying. I just have to remember of doing this much more all the time. In my situations I have to realize what the love of God is. I just need much more time as often with God. I am beginning to start the reason God had made me, and how I remember the reasons to believe through by God's grace to get me to realize that He loves me no matter what the situations are. This is what I am trying to believe in. I just always need to have God give me strength to carry on in my life. I am going through a journey of a "season" if you will.     

Homework / Deeper Relationship

I decided to have a deeper relationship with God. As much I have that relationship I decided to say to God to give me homework. The meaning is if He could write them so I could be able to see it. Of a couple of questions about what I suppose to know about why do I love God, and something like that. Things that I can't quite describe on Earth. If why Jesus had to die for me. That will be those questions for me to answer. This is only for me to do as homework. I decided to have a deeper relationship with God. I have been asking God to give me homework at least everyday. I had said a prayer about that. I am now praying everyday,or by night. This is why I have to keep this up. This reminds me of a song God of Wonders .  Apart of this song I know. Lord of Heaven and Earth. This I will remember to focus on this deeper relationship as I will obey God for me do the homework. 

Test Score

Today I had a test to take for STEP. I just got a 92% on it. I thought I had improved from that a bit higher. When I had realized this seems remarkable for me to realize. From what I had found out it's never too late to study for a test. I thought okay I have to let myself to know from this percentage just by realizing how this goes. I now have been taking my own time with my actions to fully study for tests even it's hard.  This quote is Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm. This was by Winston Churchill. I  I really like this quote.  I just have to think when I get to have tests.

Caring for kitten

Today I have been helping one of our really little bitty baby kitty through out of the afternoon. I have given it milk in bowl. I thought it was actually going to have it. I was actually going for a tricycle ride. I did not know if the kitty was going to have the milk. When I got back in the kitty was not by the milk. For awhile I had decided well I don't think the kitty does not want it. So I had poured it out in the sink. I thought the kitty was hungry so I got milk for the kitty. That is what I thought but nope. That did not happen. This is what I call being a animal caretaker. When I grow older I want to be a animal caretaker for part time so I can be a worship leader for part time as well. I can barely picture that in my mind. I did take this seriously as I was taking care of the little bitty baby kitty. 

This is the little bitty baby kitty. 

Test Score

I had a test to take in STEP. So after I was done with the test I did not hear about a day or so what the percentage is. I had received an email. I had received a 96% A. I was completely shocked when I found out. But now I am doing well in STEP says my teacher. I feel pretty relieved. I had been realizing from this percentage a miracle. I never had been this good. Now I have to realize how well I did on the test. 

WOW

 

Worship Experiences

As much we are worshiping God we are all reminded by songs to inspire all of us what we might be going though in our lives. By worshiping we are realizing how much praises we are giving to God. By every song you hear the more by thanking God as he is very pleased. With God all things are possible. As we are all listening to music we know who we are. A child of God. As if we are feeling something that might be God's presence,and love. As if we are all experiencing something in worship we are all reminded for the Glory of God there will be peace. Just in the experiences. By worshiping God we are realizing to believe this is real so I believe, as we believe just how powerful songs can be.   

Goals / Independent

I am setting my goals so I can live independently. I'm setting my goals as I grow older to become a animal caretaker for part time, and for part time be a worship leader. My goals of how to start is by feed, and care for our animals so then as I grow older I can experience of being a care for animals being a animal caretaker. For being independently I do want to try to make / bake food to whatever it might be by myself. I have to realize of not trying to burn myself, and by cutting myself. This process is going really slow I'm not nearly ready to live by myself yet. Still it's life. I don't like forcing myself but I'm going to have to. I have to challenge myself of how could I be independent. Where I go to school I am taking STEP. I am learning new things in there of how to reach goals, and how to live independently. For us in class we are using Next Up it's I believe a Transition Education. We use that for how to learn of being independent, and to reach our goals.This is the link to the site. I found this really encouraging. I am trying to be a independently lady / woman as I can be.

In this I call is to never ever give up.  

New things in US History

I am learning new things in US history each everyday. I found this rather interesting to learn. I am liking US history. The timeline was before 1600 I think. There are so many things in US history to learn from. By just using the word US history it's really interesting. US history is now my new favorite subject as now I am learning something new each, and everyday. I had heard that from my US history teacher. I thought when I found out when I did decide to take US history I thought now what I did not know how important it is in each country. I always thought I never thought US history was really interesting. Now I am finding it really interesting. I am really am liking US history. If anyone's children who is taking US history right now, or when that does happen. I want to encourage you hey it's not that easy to learn you just need to find this interesting. If you are liking it I'm glad for you. If you are not liking it I can tell that you may seem it's really hard to understand, and to learn what we did never knew before back in time in US history. So I hope this encourages you.         

First Full Day of School

Today is the first full day of school. I believe there was a couple of assignments. They were only simple easy. Today in US history we were reading from the book from US history. I heard about 1492 back in history. During that year Christopher Columbus well he was a explorer. He sights Bahamian island, he was believing he reached East Asia. I heard that as my class had heard about that today. I found this interesting. My other classes were as a couple of assignments during the afternoon. I really do like learning things daily. Again they were maybe at least not as simple as I had expected. Which I thought that was not expected to happen. Well I know now. So I just have to realize that. Today was a little bit kinda hard as I thought it would be. Now I just realize what that is. I only have to expect it.     

A New Ministry

Over where I go to church with my family there is a new ministry we heard when our Senior Pastor had a sermon from it. Say Yes / Say Yes To Serve. Here are a couple notes for sermons.After the service I decided to Say yes. This had gotten in my life for sure. My family, and I go to Harvest Bible Chapel Davenport.  I absolutely love what my church does. They have been a blessing to me, and my family. Always Say yes!

1. Say yes to fulfill your calling!

2. Say yes to use your gifts!

3. Say yes to make a difference!

4. Say yes to meet needs! 

5. Say yes to glorify God!  

Through what I decided to Say yes I had take the step of obedience to do that. I had came to a decision while when the Senior Pastor was still preaching. So I did Say yes for me as a vocalist. 

School has begun

School has officially had began. I had my first day of school today. I am taking a few new subjects this year. US History, and STEP. STEP is a program. This year of school it's going to be interesting. I absolutely love learning things that I may not know before. I am now a Junior in high school. Through school I get to learn things quite well. I am a quick learner. I believe this school year will turn out quite interesting. As if I am learning things I get to realize what I never knew. I think I am growing to like school. This school year for me is to realize things to focus on learning. Learning may seem difficult but I just have to realize how much learning I get to have. We all can't control the difficulties of learning things.

I am in progress often. I like to be able to hear things as much with my hearing aid. I am doing well with my hearing aid for me to able to hear. This is the Good News of how much I am in a pretty great progress going through things being able to hear better. I am so glad I have been able to share this good news to everybody through my progress by hearing as well, and with my hearing aid. I am now independent with my hearing aid. I have been waiting so long to share this good news to the world. I am now beginning to realize I have been getting able to be independent just with my hearing aid.   

A Woman who was Deaf and Blind

Helen Keller was blind and deaf. She had scarlet fever at 19 months. She was born and raised in Tuscumbia Alabama. She was born in June 27th 1880. Helen Keller was wild when she was young. When Helen Keller was 6 years old Annie Sullivan was stating teaching her of how she could be able to do things in her life. Helen Keller had temper tantrums when she did not get her way. When Helen Keller's mother Kate she had realized her fear became true. When Helen Keller's mother was bathing her she wanted to find out what was wrong to her. So she pointed to her eye then her eyes were blind. She never blinked stared straight. When Annie Sullivan was helping Helen Keller she was trying do sign language, and how to spell with communication. Helen Keller realized something startled her. Water had gushed out then Annie Sullivan was teaching Helen to spell w-a-t-e-r in her palm in her hands to communicate. As Helen was getting older with Annie she helped her to go to a deaf and blind school in Perkins in Massachusetts. As she grew older more she helped American Foundation for the blind for her rest for her life. For short AFB. This was Helen Keller's life. She helped people who were just like her with disabilities. She cared, and helped them. Then for awhile before she helped the AFB she attended to Radcliffe Collage. Helen Keller called Annie Sullivan Teacher.So Annie had to spell it out on her hand. T-e-a-c-h-e-r. Helen Keller communicated with her teacher and other people by using her hand to see how lips were moving. She read lip reading. This is how she did it. 

There is a movie about it. It's the Miracle Worker.

  This is Helen Keller when she was older.

 This was when Helen Keller was with her teacher Annie Sullivan. 

I like the quote from Helen Keller: Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. 

News Update

I am trying to wear my hearing aid often. I like to hear things better when I have my hearing aid in. I like the sound of birds, and humming birds. I also like the sound of music. It takes time for me to realize just how important I hear sounds in my hearing aid. I like a quote from Albert Einstein. Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. It's hard to understand in nature to hear things that we might not be able to hear. As much as I am wearing my hearing aid I just have to get used to it often. It takes a long time to get used to hear all different sounds in my hearing aid. I just have to get to the habit to wear my hearing aid often. You may seem that I have to be independent for my hearing aid so I take that step for the challenge. I don't like to hear any loud sounds if it's gets intense for my hearing aid. But I think I have to get used to it. It's part of life.   

How Can You Be A Believer

The best way to be a believer is to always read the Bible, and the Gospel. I love to encourage others who could become a believer, or if they are struggling with anything. I find this way rather difficult because I know how others feel. I now know it's real so I believe it. I love helping others that is how I look out for people. It's what I do for a living, and in my ministry. I love people's testimonies because it impacts me in my life. It might be hard if anybody could be a believer but I always say this If you believe in God I am glad you are. But if you are not what could I do to help you to become a believer? What can't you understand? I do read the Bible on a daily basis. If anyone who is not a believer please follow what I had encourage you to?  Admit you are a sinner. Believe in Jesus. Repent of your sins. Receive him into your life. Then when you do as you pray. By praying it's powerful. When you do pray say Jesus I am sorry that I am a sinner. I know he will forgive you. It's as real than you know. God is who we can trust in. I am praying for you all brothers and sisters if you are or are not a believer. God is making miracles in everybody's life. I belong to a Father who does love me very much as much as I know if I feel so loved by the presence of God. As I belong to a Father I belong to my Heavenly Father.

Many Blessings 

Ben R. N.'s General Blog: South Dakota

Ben R. N.'s General Blog: South Dakota: Continuing our visit of the Mountain timezone, my father and I headed to Mt. Rushmore this morning. On the way, we stopped at the very nearby Crazy Horse mountain carving. The carving itself is still in progress; the visitor center had a lot of interesting history on the carving and the Native Americans it honors.


After exploring that, we got to Mt. Rushmore.

Beginning our trip back home, we went through the Badlands.

Butterflies

As you see butterflies they are so amazing as the way they fly. Butterfly's lifecycle is made up of four parts, egg, larva :Caterpillars, pupa: chrysalis and adult. I really love butterflies. Did you know most caterpillars are plant eaters.  Butterflies attach their eggs to leaves with a special glue. Butterflies are also insects. This is why I really love butterflies.Butterflies is amazes everybody because is you get to see butterflies in the wild the more you discover just how butterflies fly. Love seeing butterflies everywhere. Butterflies can stay in warmer climates. They can be found in tropical and humid places like California, Hawaii, and Mexico. Butterflies could might impress you as you go out in the wild, and to realize just how amazing butterflies are in life.

This is in the wild. 

 

Here are butterflies up in the sky

Finding the presence of God

As you feel peace and and you will feel the presence of God, just stay still and know that He is God - "I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth". Comes from Psalm 46:10 in the Bible. I had found that purpose myself when I felt that bit of joy. Finding the presence of God is sort of like a reminder to us. I feel peace, and showered by the presence of God. I feel so good, and worshiping God. It's hard to explain how to feel the presence of God. I am feeling that in my Spirit. It's so amazing to feel the presence of God. I feel just so wonderful, and by feeling the presence of God, coming into my Spirit. I feel so much peace, and it really amazes me. I believe by finding the presence of God you might be feeling so good, and by worshiping God.

  
Today's Post is about how so much peace will bring and so much love.
