Hey

I'm so sorry I've not posted in two months!!! I've been so busy(:
  4th of July is coming up soon, so happy 4th!

My Creation&Evolution Report for Science Class

"Creation: a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world was created by God out of nothing.."

   Evolution and creation. Two different viewpoints on how our world was created.

  Evolutionist believe that the world was created by a "Big Bang". Basically,"nothing'  exploded, and created everything..They also believe that man started out as a non-living object ( like rock ), then turned into a living object ( like say..chimpanzee), then, finally, to a human.

  Creationists believe in Genesis chapter 1 account of a literal 6 day Creation, as written down by Moses who was divinely inspired by God. We believe that God created the world, just by His words, and that on the 6th day of creation, He created man in His own image, out of dust, and then made woman out of one of man's ribs.

 Evolution is a theory. According to my Merriam-Webster dictionary, the word theory means:

1) General principles of a subject.

2) Plausible or scientifically acceptable explanation, and thirdly..

3) A judgment, guess, or opinion.

A theory is not a fact. A theory is an assumption. But, could we believe ( Creation ), be a theory?

 A non-believer looks at the evidence and sees the universe as a result of natural processes. A believer sees the world as a result of Intelligent design.Does evidence lead to our conclusions? Or is it our beliefs on God?

  I think it is the latter. That's just my honest opinion. If you believe that there is a God, then you could not logically look around at this great universe and believe it all happened by chance.

  To accept creation by faith is no more "religious" than accepting evolution by faith.Both viewpoints are based on assumptions, and believed through faith. Evolution explains facts based on an assumption of natural, continual process. Creation explains facts based on an assumption of supernatural,completed process.There are three components to both rationales - assumptions, facts, and conclusions. Facts are the same.The reason we draw different conclusions is because we have different assumptions to begin with.

  Scientists can not explain the "why" with evolution. Why was there a "Big Bang"? One suggestion(which I found very interesting, and slightly creepy) was that God exploded Himself into billions of tiny pieces and so each person has a piece of God inside him or her.

  There is no factual( experimentally testable and reproducible ) science that supports evolution.

              Science can only discover what God has brought about.

Hey!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted!!

This past month I've been busy with my job, school, church, life in general (:

I've finished 10th grade in Science, Literature, and Bible, and I've started 11th in all 3 subjects.

This is going to be a short post because I've got something else to put up later(:

-God Bless-

At Calvary

Here is my own "arrangement" of the hymn At Calvary.

Please comment,like, and subscribe?

I've got a grand total of..2 (!) videos up lol. My channel name is Ephesiansfive9teen .

Anyways...this is song is Beka's favourite so I was distracted by her as I was playing it because she was mimicking my fingers! lol.

~~~~~

Also..can anyone give me some ideas for a new post?? (:

Look What I got!!

I got a Baldwin Hamilton piano.........from a thrift store!

Last Wednesday, we were going around to different thrift stores that were having bag sales. One store had a piano for sale.

$75 dollars. Very good price for this piano any piano(:

I am just toooooooooo excited! I was needing/wanting a new piano since my old piano is well,old.My old piano has keys missing,keys that don't work,and the damper pedal is broken(aaaagghhh). I still love that piano, it's my first piano.The one I was given on my 12th birthday,6 months after I started learning how to play.

But this new piano, it's smaller(it's a studio, the old one is an upright), all the keys work,and all the pedals work. It's slightly out of tune,but that's no problem.

I'm totally rambling lol.

Daniel says he can refinish my piano for me.Think I should go with the same colour or a different one?

It's going in the girls' room. Thataway,I can play it even when it's dark(where I used to have the piano,there was no light so I could only play it during the day). My old piano,I gave to Daniel(since he's teaching himself how to play by ear) and he moved it into the boys' room.

Weeelllll,just had to share(:

Goodbye, and God Bless!

 

 

When I Say "I Am A Christian"....

When I say that I'm a Christian,I'm not shouting "I am clean living!", I'm whispering "I was lost,but now I'm found and forgiven"

~
 When I say "I am a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ as my guide.

~
 When I say " I am a Christian",I'm not trying to be strong. I'm proffessing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

~
When I say " I'm a Christian",I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean up my messes.

~
 When I say "I'm a Christian",I'm not claiming to be perfect. My faults are too visible,but God believes I am worth it.

~
 When I say " I am a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

~
 When I say " I'm a Christian", I'm not holier-than-thou. I'm just a simple sinner who received God's grace somehow!

Isn't that so true?

Is it wrong that I don't question my beliefs?

☼

Is it wrong that I've never asked my mom why she's raised my sisters and I to dress modestly and  wear skirts?

☼

I've never been one to openly question anything.Sure,I wonder at things but I don't speak my mind. That's just the way I am. But,recently people have asked me things like "Why do you believe what you believe" and "Why do you always wear skirts?"

Q: Why do you believe what you believe?

A; Because that's how I was raised.

Q: Why do you always wear skirts?

A: Because that's how I was raised.

But....

Should I question my beliefs?

Songs I'm Listening to Over&Over(&Over&Over)

(That awkward moment I'm sitting in the living room with my mom's computer on my lap,headphones in my ears,listening to music,while the others are watching a movie,when Daniel says" Emilie,you do realize we can hear that." Oops......lololololol)
 Here are my current songs I'm always humming/singing/listening to(:

1). I'm Standing On the Solid Rock sung by the Florida Boys

2). He's More Than Just A Swear Word sung by the Collingsworth Family

3). If You Love Me For Me from Barbie's Princess and the Pauper(hahaha you can tell I have little sisters (: but I seriously do like this song   )

4). At Calvary (I just love this song,even though as I was talking to my best online friend a couple weeks ago...I accidently said something perverted about it..ooopss!!)

5). Keep On the Sunny Side sing by the Peasall Sisters

 

Well those are just a few that I'm hooked on(:

I'm Excited.

So as you know,I'm 15. I'll be graduating, more than likely, sometime next year. I'll be going to college soon after and naturally I need to money to do so. Well I've been looking for a job . But I've been having problems-#1. Most of the closest places hiring are 45 miles away-too far to drive back and forth everyday. #2. I'm not old enough for a driver's license so I would have to rely on my mom to bring me and that would be harder because we'd have to either get all the kids ready to go with us or make sure my older brother was at home. and #3.Most places don't hire 15 year olds.
Well...
Subway in Alma(a town about 15 miles away) is hiring a part time worker. I was able to get an application and..I'VE BEEN ASKED TO COME IN FOR AN INTERVIEW ON FRIDAY! (Sorrry for the capitals..I'm kinda excited lol) PLease,keep me in your prayers that I'll get the job. (^:

Candle Christians

We're to be a light to the world as Christians,right?

Matthew 5:16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

 

 

Christians are like candles.

1) Candles shine in darkness. Same as the Christian's "light" should shine in the "darkness" of the lost world.

 

2) Candles still shine even when they are alone. Christians don't have to be in groups in order to be a testimony.

3) Candles shine wherever they're at. Christians don't

only have on set place to be a witness and a testimony, they can "let their light shine" anywhere,everyhere!

 

4) Candles shine inspite of criticisms. A candle isn't going to quit shining because you criticise it,will it? Neither should the Christian.

 

5) Candles shine inspite of compliments. Weird thought,I kow. But sometimes,you get complimented on something and you get puffed up and prideful and then you aren't being as good a witness.

 

6) The candle is always pointed up. Even when you tip it,the flame points up.Christians' lives should point to heaven.

 

7) The candle's main purpose is to give off light. That's what we as Christians should do. Matthew 5:16.

 

Remember that you are a "candle Christian"

"This light of mine,I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine,I'm gonna let it shine.let it shine,let it shine,let it shine."

2013!
