Tomorrow is New Years Eve!
I'm kinda excited, although a bit worried too.
Of course my worries are also what others worry about, and I guess it's normal.
BUTTTT we shouldn't be worried in the first place, so I shall not elaborate. :D

There's a Thanksgiving and Watchnight Service at church tomorrrow. :D
School starts on Tuesday! :DDDD
Homework starts soon after.
I'm SO ready to get into the swing of things again!

Alright it's getting late. :D

Good night! :D

Happy Birthday Jesus!
You are my best-of-the-best friend I ever had and will have.
Thank you for lighting up my world with your glory.
Thank you for loving me, even when I don't deserve it.
Thank you for giving me precious family and friends.
Thank you for school and everything I have.
Thank you even, for homework. :P

I hope you will have a WONDERFUL birthday party today and may you be pleased at our doing.

Thank you!
I love you!

Love, Claire.

I wasn't feeling very good about myself the other night, being totally worried about everything that's been going on.
I was tempted to let myself be sad, and so totally fell for it.
So I flipped open my bible to read on the day's assigned devotion passage.
And right there was this beautiful, yet instructional verse:

'Turn all your anxiety over to God because he cares for you. Keep your mind clear, and be alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion as he looks for someone to devour. Be firm in the faith and resist him, knowing that other believers throughout the world are going through the same kind of suffering.
God, who shows you his kindness and who has called you though Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, strengthen you, make you strong and support you as you suffer for a little while. Power belongs to him forever. Amen. '

Just thought I'd share this, which brought me so much encouragement.
Power belongs to Him forever, Amen? :D

'Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for having a hammer to smash all my bad things that I think in my brain.'
-From a seven-year-old Claire

'Dear God,
Help me to decide which soft toy should go for the trip.'
-From an eleven-year-old Claire

It is so amusing to read all my old letters to God. As far as I know, I have been keeping diaries full of letters to God since I was small, and what I wrote then always makes me laugh.

It is so great to know that God is always there for me throughout every event of my life. :D

Hey God,
It's December! :D
Thank you for granting me such a great month of November and I pray that December will be even better! :D

Thank you that:
-The Happy Quest has been going rather fine! 4th day today and I hope I can make it!
-I managed to pack my room and neaten it up!
-I managed to finish quite a bit of homework! (Although not done yet so'll have to buck up a little. :P)
-Daily devotions have been coming out well! I rather enjoy it, actually!

Yep, so I guess that the theme I'll be giving myself for this month will be 'Thanksgiving'. Indeed, we have so much to thank God for that everyday should be full of thanks! :D

Okay, see ya'll soon and Happy Holidays! :D
