Ice cream continued….
Guess what I found in our freezer today? My ice cream! 
Seems that when R.J. got it, he had stacked two cups together to better insulate it from melting, so the empty cup I found was just the outside one. Boy do I feel sheepish now, praise God for stopping me from saying anything. Is this ever a lesson to “lean not on your own understanding” and to acknowledge His directions.
So now I am eating my ice cream, I have looked forward to it all day. I would be sitting there studying, ready to throw out the books when I would remember what was in the freezer and so buckle down with a delicious little shiver of anticipation. Now is the time, my sister is asleep and I’m up typing and enjoying God’s gift to me.
Its funny how He had me give it up and then He gave it back, talk about birth, death, and rebirth of a vision. My God is so kind and loving to me, sending little things my way that let me know He loves me. I gave up an “idol” last week that was stealing my love and barely had time to feel the void before God stepped in to fill it, He has done more than His part in an effort to woo me back to Him – He even gives me chocolate 
He says to me, Am I not better than what you had? Oh yes, He is my joy, He is my song – Jesus, lover of my soul.

Most of you know how important ice cream is to me, I consider it a staple in my diet. Anyhow, a really nice person brought me a blizzard from DQ, it was the triple intense chocolate something or another and it was sooo good! I had some and then practicing great self restraint I put the rest back in our freezer to eat after supper, that way I could make it last a little longer.
I had let one of my sisters have some and I knew the other one would have a little too, but there was still half of it left so I figured all was well. I was really looking forward to enjoying this rare treat, when I came into our room this afternoon to find an empty cup sitting on our counter! I was dumbfounded!
My sister (whom I will leave anonymous) ate all of my ice cream! I was upset and wanted to gripe her out saying I never ate her cookies, what gave her the right to eat my ice cream. But God checked my spirit, and held me silent. What was a little ice cream compared to our relationship? *sigh*
So she remains in blissful ignorance and I learn a lesson in values and love. What is filling me with joy, what am I setting my affections on? I love you Lord, I’ll do anything you want, what’s mine is yours and you may use it in what ever way you see best.

I came across this as I was studying today, read this slowly:
Where the positivist believed that the goal of science was to uncover the truth, the post-positivist critical realist believes that the goal of science is to hold steadfastly to the goal of getting it right about reality, even though we can never achieve that goal!
Because all measurement is fallible, the post-positivist emphasizes the importance of multiple measures and observations, each of which may possess different types of error, and the need to use triangulation across these multiple errorful sources to try to get a better bead on what’s happening in reality.
Isn’t that crazy? The definitions and explanations people think up. To me it emphasizes the dificulty in explaining life apart from God; praise the Lord that His word is infallible!

Tuesday’s speech had an error which someone very kindly pointed out to me and I would like to correct it.
I had stated that Adam was given the command to be fruitful and multiply before Eve was created and then gave that as the reason for her creation. This is incorrect; Eve was created at the time of this command and it was given to her as well as Adam. So instead of being created only to help man carry out instructions, she was given them herself. Woman bears the same responsibility as man to carry out the command to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it.

I just found out why I have passed all my tests, here is a letter from my 7 year old sister, Katie:
Dear Girls,
I heard that Amy is doing well on her tests. I’ll pray that she will pass
every test that comes so that she will be able to get out of college and spend
more time with me, Halle and Will and our family and friends.
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 18:10
