The Lord has blessed me!

MEAGAN(crying): I have so much to study and I don't think I'll do very well on my Slovene test!
MOMMY: All I and God expects you to do is your best!
Next day, the day of the dreaded Slovene test
MEAGAN: Thank you, dear Jesus!
After school
MOMMY: How'd your day go?
MEAGAN: The Lord has blessed me! The poem I had to 'interpret' in my test was one I'd already done with Katarina(my tutor). I did I lot better than I thought I would!
MOMMY: Yeah! I knew you'd do a good job!
A while later while Meagan is writing on her blog
MEAGAN: God is so amazing!

Meagan, Zlata si! (Meagan, you're golden!)

This is what my teacher came up and said to me about a week ago. I had gotten the Gold Medal for a Physics competition. There are a lot of these kinds of things in Slovenija. First you have school competitions, then Regionals and the Nationals. You have to get a certain percentage of points to go on and for every different level you get a different medal (bronze, silver and gold). So now that you know what a Gold Medal is you will understand why I jumped all over the classroom, hugged all my classmates and called my mom and dad right away. I'm so glad that God made me who I am and that He's given me the chance to work really hard, but get a reward for my hard work!

JV May Conference

This last week I was at a conference for all of JV. It was so much fun to be there! In the mornings we had Photography Class and Art Class. Joshua Longbrake helped us with our camaras and we got to take really cool pics with him. We painted some beautiful picture with Aubrey Peth by through water balloons filled with paint at a canvas and then sprinkling it with paint! In the evenings, The Journey led amazing worship and we got to play in the fun room named Grob.
This conference was also the last time for many of us to see our dear friends the Joneses, the McSheffreys and the Cuperys. We all shed many tears. These friends are like our JV brothers and sisters and we will miss them a lot.
Becca also planned special things for us like getting a JV Kid Yearbook with pictures in it, having snacks with her and doing a Murder Mystery (where she was the murderer! Yikes!). We also got to go to Midnight Movies, which actually showed until midnight!
Another special thing I got to do was go horseback riding with 4 of my friends. We rode through a beautiful forest next to a beautiful spring! It was a lot of fun!
Over all I had a great time at this conference and I got to learn a lot! I'm glad that I have such special friends as I have there! There's no place like JV! I think that Heaven will be a lot like this week was, only with out the goodbyes and tears! I can't wait!

I love ferns! I had a presentation about them in school and they're really cool plants! This is a young fern that hasn't undone yet!
