Days Go By
Days go by,
The sun is
hot,
The trees are
green, but soon will change colors
Flowers bloom
and die,
And the birds
sing their hearts out.
Days go by,
The sky is
blue,
I hear the
cars go by,
Especially the
truck,
The girl who
romanticizes.
Days go by,
Fall is
coming,
Things has
happen,
Life is
blooming,
And it is time
to share it, share it for good.
Just
a made up poem.

Adventure and Working for
the Master
We've
been experiencing farm adventure lately: First was the fox! One day I
was doing my school work at a dinning table. When I heard my
chickens squawking and running everywhere in the field. I quickly got
up to see an “orange cat” O wait … it was a sly fox! He was
running after my chickens and caught one of the black ones. My Mom
and I were yelling, shouting, and whistling from our porch until he
dropped it. He jumped on the fence and over and was gone. Although he
kept coming back, my Dad was tired of it, he was so concerned about
his chickens that he built a 6. feet fence. I kept singing,” What
does the fox say?... off course my Dad was tired of hearing it. “
Oh how cute he was!” I kept repeating to them, but they rolled
their eyes.
Second:
The skunk... was told when I was not with Dad doing the chores. I
finished brushing my teeth when Dad told if I wanted to hear a funny
story (off course I wanted to hear one) so I rushed down the stairs
with excitement. And very soon I started to small a horrible smell
that I plucked my nose. My Dad said,” There's a skunk in the barn.”
My dog had been nosing around when he got sprayed on front of him.
He'd been rolling on the grass. I felt sorry for him. Oh, before I
went to sleep it seemed like my room was filled with the stinky
smell. Just because my dog was down close to my window. And my dog
had left the skunk injured. There was vengeance in my dog's heart.
The next day in the evening he caught the skunk, took it outside and
finished him off'! Then my Dad said,” After he killed him he laid a
distance away from me and watched me work.” I was proud of my dog.
I
recently got a job as a Mother's Helper. Which I enjoy very much. And
sometimes somebody may call me to baby sit their kids. And one of the
kids may play joke on me. For example one day I went to this family.
And these two kids, first grader and a preschool. I asked them if
they wanted to read a book.
They said ''yes!” excitedly. The boy brought me a book. The book was called Gigantic Joke...something else. I told them to relax but they were watching me intently with their eyes fixed over the couch. I slowly opened the book and their were NO PAGES in it. They burst out laughing as hard as they could. I sat there trying to smile.”That was a big joke!” I told them.
I'm
excited that AWANA is starting up soon. Is an event where young
children can come to hear about Jesus. Is a place where kids can grow
in their faith and love their God with their hearts. And I also
started up a choir that is so exciting. Is mixed choir and I'm in a
small group. I got a part where I get to start up solo. I'm very
excited to learn the song and more songs. In all these events is for
the master.
AMAZING
The
sky is blue
The
clouds are white
And
the birds fly across the sky
The
trees are beautiful green
The
flowers have shapes and colors
And
the little birds and breeze love it
The
little bugs eat and eat
The
butterflies pass by you
And
it's fun to watch them go swiftly
Oh
everywhere is beautiful
See
the birds fly across the sky
And
it's green everywhere
This
world is filled with songs
This
world is filled with beauty
And
this world is filled with animals and people
Oh
it is so amazing
Oh
it is so amazing, Father
So
that we may enjoy all of your creation
The
sky is blue
The
clouds are white
And
the birds fly across the sky
Amazing,
oh how amazing
Oh
how amazing it is
Just
for us to enjoy it. By

Happy To Serve Jesus
Hi, I've been busy or too lazy to write even though I love to write. It is more fun to write in the paper than typing. That's because I like using my hands with pen or pencil. This is what it has been happening.
On June 16 I went to Tenn. all by myself to go visit my grandparents and have my summer vacation. I helped my Grandma pick vegetables and cut bad flowers. I helped my Grandpa pick raspberries and tomatoes. We watched news on TV and watched fun movies. Besides those we went hiking, swimming at my young cousins' house, and horse back riding. Even my grandparents rode the horses! We went two miles ride and by the end our legs were weary even my grandparents! That was the most exciting of my life even though I'm afraid of the horses. I loved my horse, Jim! My parents asked me if I fell in love with him; that made me laugh. It was such a fun time! After two weeks I was completely ready to go home. So I was finally going home.
As we entered our drive way I saw my sister's car and my brother's car. Then it really made me shout with excitement. My Mom didn't tell me that they were going to be there. I hurried to the bathroom telling my brother "excuse me I really have to go" as he had the door opened. Afterwards I explored around and went back outside for another door. I past the kitchen and went back to the dining room. That's when I stopped in a great surprise. I guess I didn't see it at first. I was so surprised that I did not say anything at first and then I said, "Wow!" There were balloons on my chair and a sign that said in a big letters" WELCOME HOME MARIA" and flowers on the table. We had ordered pizza for dinner. I was very, very happy to come home, sweet home.
You know, Jesus is so beautiful and so Holy. Nobody deserves to come closer to Him. But I had one of those experience that I never felt before, twice. One when I went horse riding in the woods. I asked Jesus to go riding with me and that we may enjoy our rides together. Yes, He did! I could feel His presence and peace inside me. We talked about the peaceful woods and how beautiful He'd made it and many things that was in my head. I was so amazed how He was willing to go riding with His unperfect child. And another time was, I was lying on my bed. I was talking to Jesus. As I kept talking to Him there was quietness in the room, I knew that Jesus was somewhere in the room listening and smiling, I'm sure. I was so joyful that I laughed aloud. ( I forgot that my grandparents were sleeping, oops!) I know that Jesus has a wonderful plans for me, I don't know what it is. When I want to give up, I have to tell Jesus" I trust you, Jesus!"
I recently got a job as a Mother's Helper. I really enjoy serving this mom that I help with her one year old baby. I'm happy that this precious girl likes me. When I get there, she's happy to see me and wants me to lift her up. I sing songs to her and try to talk to her in Spanish.
I've been serving God in His church. I'm with children while the adults are having Bible time. By end I'm exhausted and tired, but also happy that they enjoyed themselves. It is so fun to help and work with young children whom hopely one day soon they would come to Jesus. Ya, that's my life, always wanting to be active and helpful besides my home.

School is Over! But not Completely Over!
My school is over from public school
and all three of my classes I got A's. I learned many things and I
had made some friendships. And I am not over with homeschooled. I
will be doing it through the summer and of course I will have some
breaks.
I've been enjoying being outside and
seeing God's beautiful creations. It has been hot and rainy. In the
morning I love to hear birds sing through my opened window. And then
realize that I don't have to go to school today!
This past week my family and I went to
Tenn. To go see my grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and my own
sister with her family. We had a wonderful time visiting them.
As we face the day we need God's
strength to keep going through out the day. And this is what I wrote
when my mom told me that God gives us the grace that we need.
Your Grace, Your Grace O God
Your grace, your grace o God
I'm alive because of you
Without your grace I couldn't make the
day
Even if it were sad or happy day
I need your grace to face the day
I need the living food to feed my soul
I need the living water to grow
I can't do it alone without you
When I see my life
I know that is okay and not okay
Your grace, your grace o God
I need them everyday
I need something more powerful
Something that is not going to fail me
Someone who is faithful in all things
Your grace, your grace o God
You grace, your grace o God
That is what I really need
Help me not to waste my life
Please, give me the heart to know you
more
Your grace, your grace o God
Your grace, your grace o God
Your grace, your grace o God
That is what I really need
Your grace, your grace o God
Your grace, your grace o God
Your grace, your grace o God
That is what I really need

I've Been Busy
I've been busy: I have a chick named "Sugar". She's been growing with beautiful feathers. She's friendly and tries to run away from me. Only because the other chicks are telling her so.
My daddy has been gardening vegetables in his garden. He always seem to be excited about his asparagus. The asparagus can't stop growing fast. Daddy tries to give away to some friends. It is not my favorite thing to eat.
At my church I signed up for Teacher Training Course. Maybe I want to be a Sunday School teacher one day.
It has been rainy these days. Everything is growing green outside. I'm still busy with school and I'm finally in ninth grade.
The other day I went to adolescent clinic close to Indy to go see my diabetic Dr. She said that I have to start doing shots before lunch, too. I was sad. My fingers, legs, and my stomach has enough of shots and pricks. There is something that God is doing. I have to trust Him. He knows my life.
The Earth Mourns by Maria; written March 2, 2014
Through the storm
Through all my pains
My Savior you will be
When I am hurting
When my sorrow grows
You can bear them all
While I am sick
While I am lonely
You're always beside taking care of me
Somewhere war is going on
Somewhere people are dying
And you know it all
Parent's divorce
A man killed
Sadness brings to your heart
The world filled with sin
The present earth shall not last long
When that day comes, you will fix it all
Still battle goes on
Still the earth mourns to be perfect
But you, Oh God, will reign forever

Isaiah 45:21-22
This Bible verse struck me this week.
Was it not I, the Lord?
And there is no other god besides me,
a righteous God and a Savior;
there is none besides me.
"Turn to me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:21-22
Before March 24th, my parents and I went to Virginia to visit my sister and her family. Plus for spring break for me, too much thinking in school. we rented a car and I think I fell in love with it. Because I thought it was cool!
We stayed in their new house. Their house needed some fixing. Our vacation was helping them paint, fix electricity, play with their cute kids, pull out the old carpets so that new carpets would be put in, maybe take a nap which I did, work in the kitchen and other things.
Later before we went back home, a Russian friend invited us over for dinner. The family were very nice hosts and welcoming. As we were eating dinner their two year old little boy wanted me to go play with him. He reached his hands for mine, but I told him later. His parents said that he loves girls. One day my Dad said,"Now she has a Russian boyfriend." I was real embarrassed especially when a guest was over our house for lunch. Anyway, it was a fun time and we enjoyed our spring break.
Spring is coming here. And we had lots of rain, our neighborhood was flooded. The Lord knows what His creation needs. He takes care of it all!
