Have Thine Own Way, Lord by Adelaide A. Pollard

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.


Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Master, today!
Whiter than snow, Lord, wash me just now,
As in Thy presence humbly I bow.


Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me, I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine.


Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o’er my being absolute sway!
Fill with Thy Spirit ’till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me.

Thursday the 25th

So, yesterday I began my day with prayer time and reading my Bible. I am reading the book of Mark in the New Testament, so I read Mark 9. Then I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and got ready for the day, while listening to the Victorious Valley Girls Home cd. Then Amber came to my house, because she was going with us to the Air Force retirement ceremony for Daddy Walker (my friend Nancy's dad, also his son is courting Amber).
But, before we left I had to get some stuff together, that I was taking with us. So, after that Amber, my dad, and I finally left after that. When we got on up to the northside we picked my brother up first, then headed up to Enid. It takes about an hour and a half to get to Enid. When we got to the Vance Air Force Base by dad had to show the guy at the entrance identification before we could go through. After that we parked and went inside. I forgot to tell you that it was suppossed to be a surprise that Amber was coming and Kris wasn't suppossed to know, but somehow he figured it out. Any way, during the ceremony, we had to sit the 3rd row back because we weren't related to the Walkers. I was on the verge of tears during the ceremony. After, the ceremony we had cake and soda, water, and lemonade. Then when we were all finished we left and went to the Walkers house for lunch. This is what there was for lunch: tuna sandwhiches, egg sandwhiches, pasta salad, (gross) celery, cucumbers, carrots, bbq chips, cheetos, and some other kind of chips. There were muffins and brownies for the sweet tooth. Raspberry tea, crystal light tea, regular tea, and some punch. After that my dad, Nancy, and me went to look at two houses, because we are looking at moving up there. My dad and I liked the second house better. Both houses need a lot of repairs done to them. The second house has potential. Now, the outside of the second house is ugly and need some work on the outside, but I like the porch it has, it's a great porch. And it's a good price. Who cares what the outside looks like as long as it looks good on the inside. Well, anywho, when we were done with that we went back to the Walkers. At about 4:15 we watched Pride and Predjudice(the one with Keira Knightly, the new one), it was okay, but the older one from the '90's was a lot better and there was one part of it where there were statues that did not have clothing on so we had to fast forward it. During the movie we had to pause to get some dinner before continuing it. In the movie there were parts that were totally different than the one that has Colin Firth in it. I kinda got a little annoyed, which was, because of the changes they had made in the newer version. An dit didn't have as much sarcasm in it as the older one. BUT, anyways, I had a good time in Enid. After that, we had to go home. But, before that, we went into the kitchen with all of the Walkers and their extended families and Kris told Amber that he wouldn't see her for the whole summer, because he was going to New Mexico for an internship to work in the church there over the summer, but that before he went he wanted to tell her he loved her. It was the first time that he told her that. They have been courting for quite some time. And since they have convictions about waiting to touch eachother till they are married, he had his mom(Momma Walker) hug her for him and Amber hugged Momma Walker back. Amber has been waiting for those words for awhile. She has loved him for awhile, but she wanted him to say it first(it should be that way anyway) and she was so happy. It was soooo special for her, and one of the reasons is because he said it was in front of his family. It was the sweetest thing. I have never witnessed anything like it before. I hope that someday, the same thing will happen to me , but I hope my dad is there, I would prefer to have my dad here who ever he is say it to me. Well, because I want my dad involved in everything. I am soooooo happy for Kris and Amber. It is sooo exciting to watch couples who do things right according to God's Word and don't touch eachother. Kris is like a brother. And Amber is a good friend of mine. Yay! :) :D

These Are Hilarious-Children's Church

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between the bride's side and groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing, and was also near tears by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages. "Momma, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered: "I think it's Adam's suit!"

Six-year-old Angie and her four-year-old brother Joel were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang, and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked. Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

One Sunday in a Midwest City a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle. Finally the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

A Quote From Charles Spurgeon

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

On Monday Afternoon

I went to the chiropractor (Dr. Doan). He does the Gonstead technique. Any ways, I needed to go. I have had some pain on and off. He usually does 1 adjustment per visit, but he had to make an exception this time and do 2. Because I really needed it. He felt my spine and I had a little swelling where it was out of wack. It hurt when he put pressure. Just to let you know he fixes the cause of the problem, he does not cure it. Your body does that itself. Now, I am doing better. And after that, I went to a ladies LIFT meeting. This time we met on the campus of Heartland Baptist Bible College, instead of at the church. So we could kinda have a picnic. It was fun. My friend Amber participated in a game that we had. She had to drink a cup of water, then a cup of lemon juice, and then she ate a packet of pure sugar. It almost, made her sick, but she is okay now. Also, on Monday, my dad finally emailed some realtors in Enid, so we could maybe get a showing of some houses and one of them called yesterday around 3 o'clock, but my dad wasn't home yet from work, so I had to take a message. I am sooooo, excited. I hope we are able to move up to Enid. It will be great if we are able to move up there, because then I will be closer to my best friend Nancy. We are like two peas in a pod. If we move up there, it will be a step of faith for sure, because we don't exactly have a lot of money, but God is good. And if He wants us to move up there He will supply every need.
