Dear Journal~

Hey!  It's just li'l ol' me, Ronee', writing.  Hope y'all are well; I am doing great!  (I am, however, concerned about my friend, Susie:  some clown attacked her last week; she's now in the hospital, fighting for her life.)

I have been lifting her up in prayer, praying for a complete healing from God.  She's been through so much, it's a wonder she's even still alive.  Same goes for Rebekkah; seems that the Devil must have a death wish for them; however, our God is stronger, and if they learn to confide in Him, trust in Him, they will be victorious in all their trials!

Tomorrow at church, I am singing again.  This time I will be singing "He's Comin' Again", another Happy Goodman Family song.  I love their "Back To Canaan" CD; it has one of my all time favorite songs on there, "What A Beautiful Day (For The Lord To Come Again)"; I've sung that before, several times, and it blesses me (and others), each and every time!

I sing at least once a month or two during the offering/tithe; I was asked by Pastor Bilkey a few weeks ago to sing.  I said I would.  I always enjoy singing for the congregation, in particular, the new members or visitors that may come to the service; I pray they get a blessing with what I sing!

I have been doing a lot better since my recent tangle with the stomach flu; I am sooo glad I am over that!  I also had a sinus infection, but other than that, I've been doing terrific!  Hope it lasts; I got some goooooood workin' medication to help me! :) (About time!)

Tomorrow maman is singing a solo too, during the praise/worship portion:  she's singing "He's Alive", another one of my very favorite gospel songs.  I hear that, and I get chillbumps on top of my chillbumps; it's really an anointed little number!!  She's been practicing hard, too!

I am looking forward to the Harvest Celebration at our church.  It promises to be the best one yet.  The Kevin Spencer Family is coming to sing/minister to the festival guests, and they're expecting well over 10,000 people to come.  It's going to be a good time in the Lord!  (I will be singing that night, too, before the KSF come on the stage.)

If we can spread the message of Salvation in our actions or in our words, it will be so totally worth it!  There's nothin' more gratifyin' than to know you helped someone come to Christ! :)

Johnathon is looking forward to his brother comin' next month for Thanksgiving.  I'm looking forward to that too; he's so cute!  :)  I'm also looking forward to all the turkey and the trimmin's and having a long weekend off from school!  I also can get started on my Christmas shoppin'; I have already started workin' on my list for Christmas! 

I want a Wii game system for Christmas.  That's what I really want.  I've played it at Nicole's, and it's too cool!  You really can get crankin' on there!  LOL And 'sides, it's great exercise, too!

You ought to see the leaves outside:  they're near peak, and the trees are just ablaze with color.  The brightest I can remember!  I also have seen some fat fuzzy woolleybear caterpillars; I'm sure we'll have a very cold, snowy winter this year!  Hope so; last year was pretty cold, and snowy, too, but I want a real blizzard this yaer with 20' of snow and no school for a month!! LOL

Well, I'm going to practice my singin' for tomorrow, also practice my fiddlin'; I will go for now.  I will write in here again soon; I'll let you know how my singing/picking tomorrow at church went!  Take care and God bless you as much as He's blessed me!

Oh, I tell you, God is soooo good to me!!

~Love, your friend, Ronee' Le-Anne. :D
