As I woke up 7 this morning,
I came to notice that my parents couldn't send me to school, and what made it worse was that my phone's date(for credit credit) expired. Ugh right?
Hmm, not much to update about, but time just passed so fast! In an blink of an eye, its been a week after the holidays! ITS FRIDAY AND I'M HOME MISSING SCHOOL & CHAPEL! xD
Mom laughed, too. "Yes," she agreed. "They're taking center stage with their music, aren't they?" After relaxing a little while, Mom spoke again. "Did something go wrong today, honey?" she asked gently. "You've been so quiet ever since we got home from church this morning."
"Oh, Sunday school was okay, I guess," muttered Julie, "but Mrs. King assigned parts for the Sunday school program. I'm supposed to sing in a trio, but you should hear my part. It's horrid. I sound like a . . . like a fog horn or a bullfrog or something."
"Surely it's not that bad!" said Mom. "Who's singing with you?"
"Laurie and Suzy. They sing the pretty parts while my part is just a boring sound. It's not fair!" stormed Julie. "I don't want to sing in the dumb old program at all!"
Mom put an arm around Julie's shoulder. "Honey," said Mom quietly, "maybe your part doesn't sound great alone, but I'm sure it sounds nice with the other parts. And I think God is pleased when you use your voice to praise Him."
"But . . . but there's no music to the notes I have to sing," protested Julie. "Like I said, it's just a drone. How can such a horrid sound honor God?"
"Even bullfrogs sing praises to their Creator," replied Mom with a smile. "We've been hearing them all evening-you said you like to hear them."
Julie was silent for a few moments. Then she giggled. "All right, Mom," she said. "I'll do my part. I'll be the best bullfrog the church has ever heard!"

Do you feel jealous of kids who seem to get nicer parts than you do? Does it seem like things assigned to others are more important or more interesting than those assigned to you? Always remember that all of God's children have a necessary part in the body of Christ. To us, some people may seem more special than others, but everyone is equally important to God. Do your part to honor and serve Him.
TODAY'S KEY VERSE:
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
let us use them.
~Romans 12:6~
The END! Hope you guys liked it. (:
When oh when can I tell you how I feel inside? When is the right time?

STORY TIME! (:
Julie helped her mother clear and wash the table after their Sunday evening snack. Then the two of them went out to sit in the swing on the back porch. They enjoyed the night sounds that came from the pond and the open fields behind their house. "Wow!" exclaimed Julie. "Listen to all those bullfrogs tonight. They're really loud!" She laughed. "I like to hear them," she added.Mom laughed, too. "Yes," she agreed. "They're taking center stage with their music, aren't they?" After relaxing a little while, Mom spoke again. "Did something go wrong today, honey?" she asked gently. "You've been so quiet ever since we got home from church this morning."

Tried to take a picture.
Of love.
Didn't think I'd miss him.
That much.
