I can only be here for the Sunday morning one :( Could you possibly do another time Sunday or a later time Saturday? I'm going to a handbell conference with my church's bell choir, but I really wish I could be there!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! I'm really excited! I'll be here for the Sunday morning session and probably Saturday morning. Usually, I work the closing shift on Fridays and Saturdays so I probably won't be there Friday or Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. Rue-- I'm assuming the times are EST, right?

[Veronica]

Sarah Elizabeth, I think it is CST. Anyway, I will try to be here for all of them! Thanks for letting us know!

[Avery]

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YEEEEEES!!!!! IM INWARDLY SQUEALING IN EXCITEMENT!!!!!! :D!

[Trinny]

sorry im new here whats a blog party..?anyone care to update me...?hehe

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Trinny-- It's basically where all of us get on the blog at the same time. Mrs. Rue usually starts off with a question or gives a topic, which all of us answer via commenting. She'll write several different posts in the two hours we're on together. It goes pretty fast so sometimes it's hard to read everything that everyone wrote but it's a lot of fun!! It's like we're really together having a conversation. :) Hope you're able to make it!

[Katie]

Woohoo! Hope I can make it this time!

[♥♫LeXi♥♫]

Yay!!!:) I'm so excited! Hopefully I can be here for them!☺

[Abbie]

What time zone? Would that be CST or EST (I'm EST).

Soo looking forward to it!! :) But what happened the Sunday afternoon session? That was my favorite part of the fall one.

Abbie /// XOXOX

[Nicole]

Yup, Mrs. Rue's time is CST - I'm on EST like many of you girls, so that would be one hour BEHIND all of the times listed above. For example, the 1st session on Friday evening will be from 5pm to 7pm (EST) instead of 4pm to 6pm (CST).

Praying for y'all, especially Trinny and Therese!!

I'm so loving the amazing-ness of all of your gold, frankincense, and myrrh - such a sweet fragrance! I'd love to say more, but I gotta go. Love y'all, and God bless!!

[Trinny]

Oh cool~!!! ok time difference hehe i'll try to be onn i think it'll be so cool~!! cant wait!!! hehe
thanks for praying ^^

[Melody]

Yes last time Mrs. Rue put the times in CST (although I'm pretty sure she's actually on EST time). And the blog retreat is like what someone else said, a time for all of us to get on at the same time and post as much as we want. It's like having a slow conversation :)

[Alyson]

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paige]

CST time... :) I absolutely cannot wait!! I'll try and come to them all... We have company, but I don't care!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Trinny]

Wow...some of those times are...really early in the morning for me o.o i'll try to be onnnn hehe so excited~~!!

[Annabelle]

I will try to make it! Sounds like fun! :)

Hey guys, I really need prayers for a few things.

A few of my close friends have loved ones who are in the hospital in bad condition and probably wont make it. I would truly appreciate prayers for them as well as their families.

Also, for my family members as well, a few aren't doing too great. Thanks! I really appreciate it.

I am praying for you all . If you have any requests let me know.

Blessings
Annabelle

[Melody]

Could you girls pray for me? I'm leaving tomorrow for an audition for Ballet Magnificat's trainee company. I'm flying for the first time alone, giving me testimony for the first time, staying with someone I don't know outside of texting and facebook, and auditioning with a bunch of people who I'm afraid will be better than me. So, I'm kind of freaking out a bit. Please pray for peace and confidence. Thanks girls, praying for everyone :)

[Alyson]

sadly I just realized that I defiantly won't be able to be on for the second one on Saturday and maybe not the first one either. I have indoor soccer ALL DAY, from 8:00am- 6:30pm.

[Nicole]

Aw, Alyson, we'll miss you. :( I hope you fun playing soccer, though! Wow, that's a long time!!

Annabelle, Melody - have prayed and am praying for you!! And, hey, I'd like to share something with all you amazing girls - this morning in my Bible study, we were focusing on 1 Peter 5:10, which says, "And the God of all grace, who called you into His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

Cool, huh? We also read Psalm 90:17 (read the footnote - in this verse 'favor' also means 'beauty'!). And then I wrote out what was started as a conclusion of what I learned and ended as a prayer...and I just thought it might be a little encouraging to y'all (I put these ** around the words that I had underlined when I wrote it in my Bible study):

God *will establish* me even when I don't *feel* like I'm established - I might feel weak, worthless, unstable, looked over, messed up like a train wreck, and totally un-established. He's still here, holding out for me. He'll *always* be here with me, in me, for me. He loves me and *wants* to know me. Thank You, Lord! Please give me a hunger to know You, a desire to be in Your Presence constantly. Thank You, God. Amen!

Praying for all of you!! And so glad so many can attend many of the sessions! ;) Love y'all! <3

[Therese]

Hey girls! I didn't get a chance to comment before about my gold..ect so here it is :)
I think my gold is my strong will. I won't let people change my opinion's on things very readily, which can be a bad thing sometimes, but most times its a good thing. I won't change my beliefs when people pressure me. I'm very opinionated.
I think my frankincense is my ability to relate to others and feel for them. I don't always know what to say to them but sometimes a hug is just what you need.
I think my Myrrh is also my journaling, I can easily express myself through writing and it helps to sometimes just write everything out. I also like to pray out loud because I know have to worry about sounding hideous when talking to God, although others might wonder why I'm talking to myself ;)
I can't wait for the retreat! I think I should be able to come all of the days! SO excited!:D
Love you girlies!
