Song For the Day Tuesday

(Sorry this is a couple days late! :( I wasn't able to get it out on time...)

Another artist whose song was in my favorite movie. Ladies and Gentleman...


John Waller!
Some quick facts about John:

He's been singing since 1994.


His birthday is December 12th, 1970


His hometown is Fayetteville, Georgia.

His song "While I'm Waiting..." was chosen as the theme song for
the Sherwood Production: "FIREPROOF"

And that is the song that I've chosen for this week:

"While I'm Waiting..."

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

(CHORUS)
While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

(repeat CHORUS)

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord.

John Waller (Psalm 37:7, Psalm 40:1)

Behind the Song:
"The explanation for this song is simple. I was waiting on God and I was hurting when I wrote the lyrics. I probably wouldn’t have written a song if my friend, Mike, hadn’t encouraged me to document what I was going through during that time. I’m sure there are few people who can’t relate to this song, but the important thing to remember while we’re waiting on God is to not just wait but to actively wait. Serve, worship and be faithful with what you have, where you are… “even while (you) wait.” - John Waller (2007)
"This wasn’t one of those songs that the revelation preceded where I was, because I had been truly already waiting 15 years at the time when I wrote the song. I wanted to pose the question, ‘What do you do when you are waiting on God?’ The answer is: you continue to be faithful where you are. You continue to serve and worship while you are waiting. I never dreamed “While I’m Waiting” might end up in a movie. I didn’t even find out it was being considered for FIREPROOF until it was already done. Everyone who hears it finds it to be a ‘me too’ kind of song." - John Waller (2009)
-both quotes taken from JFK
The first time I watched FIREPROOF, yes, I loved it. But another thing that was so great about it was the music and songs that they picked for it. Each of the songs had such spectacular similarity to what FIREPROOF is all about! "While I'm Waiting" was one of the best songs that Sherwood included in their film. God certainly knew He was going to use it in that movie when John first wrote it, back in 2007! :) This song has popped to my head hundreds of times when I've struggled with personal issues or gone through something (as we are now) with my entire family. Just to give you an idea of how much I sing it, my family tries hard not to say anything like "I'm waiting" or "While I'm waiting for you..." because they know that I'll start singing this song! :) I guess this song is one of the things that pushed me to buying the FIREPROOF soundtrack! :) Even when it was a little tight to fit into my budget. :) *hehe* Yeah, call me a FIREPROOF fanatic - you'd be right! :)
Let me know if you like this song too!

Blessings!

Elizabeth Prentis - beloved hymnwriter and author of 'Stepping Heavenward'



More Love to Thee, O Christ
More love to Thee, O Christ
More love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make
On bended knee;
This is my earnest plea,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,
More love to Thee,
More love to Thee!
(only the first verse)
This hymn has always been one of my favorites. Then, after I read "Stepping Heavenward" and discovered that it was written by the same woman, I was ecstatic! :) This hymn was (and still is!) "my plea". The music that William H. Doane put to it, give it so much more feeling that when I sing this hymn, I feel about to burst with the love for my Savior.
Some facts about Elizabeth Prentiss:
Elizabeth Payson Prentiss was born on October 26th, 1818 - the fifth child in a family of 8 (6 only who lived). From an early are, Elizabeth showed sharp mental abilities, deep sympathy and exceptional perceptiveness. These characteristics combined, made her an excellent author - not only for children's books, but for warm and insightful letters to family and friends. As a young woman, she was able to have some of her stories and poems, for children, published in "The Youth's Companion". In 1838, she opened a small girls' school in her home and took up a Sunday school class as well. Two years later, she left for Richmond, Virginia to help as a department head at a girls' boarding school.
In 1845, she married George Lewis Prentiss, the brother of her close friend, Anna, to whom are addressed some of her most intimate letters. The Prentisses settled in New Bedford, MA where George pastored the South Trinitarian Church. After a happy time of being a pastor's wife and a housewife, during a period of three months, she lost her second and third child - one who was a newborn, and the other at the age of four. She wrote this poem in that year, 1852, when her baby died:
"I thought that prattling boys and girls
Would fill this empty room;
That my rich heart would gather flowers
From childhood's opening bloom.
One child and two green graves are mine,
This is God's gift to me;
A bleeding, fainting, broken heart—
This is my gift to Thee."
Thought she struggled with poor health, Elizabeth gave birth to three more children.
After her husband resigned his charge in New York, the Prentisses traveled through Europe for a couple of years. They returned to New York, afterwards, where Rev. Prentiss took up the pastoring of the Church of the Covenant. They eventually settled in Dorset, VT where Mrs. Prentiss died, on August 13th, 1878. She lived for 60 years, and left behind a legacy that has kept going for over a century! With her legacy, she left behind her beloved hymn (above) and her much-loved book:
"Stepping Heavenward".
Blessings!

Martha Finley - Christian American author and teacher

As you can see from poll on my sidebar, Martha Finley had 8 votes for me to do a study on. I gathered some information and wanted to share it on here.
Martha Finley lived from 1828 to 1909. She was brought up in a Presbyterian home and from thence was the source of her life's work in her books - mainly in her 28 volume Elsie book series. Miss Finely was a simple, yet elegant woman who never married, but had great love for her family and readers, especially children. She often addresses them in the beginning of her books. At one time, she had 25 million readers in North America and England, combined.
She lived a quiet, simple life and not many facts are known about her.
She was born on April 26th, 1828 in Chillicothe, Ohio to Dr. James Brown and Maria Thomas Brown, who were first cousins. She and her family moved to South Bend, Indiana in 1836, when she was 8 years old. In 1853, both her parents died and Martha moved to New York to become a teacher. In 1854, she moved yet again, to Philadelphia, to write for the Presbyterian Publishing Board. In 1861, she taught in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania and started working on Elsie Dinsmore, which did not appear until 1867. Sources agree that Martha eventually moved to Elkton, Maryland where she lived with her sisters and stepbrother before moving into her own house. She remained in Elkton and wrote her fiction books till her death in 1909.
I read my first Martha Finley book back in 2002 or '03. From the moment I started reading it, I loved the way Miss Finley was so God-centered and how much I related to her heroine (who, at the time, was Elsie). Her books have always inspired me and encouraged me in my Christian walk. If you have not read the Elsie Dinsmore books, I strongly encourage you to do so. She also wrote the Mildred Keith (the second-cousin to Elsie) series. I have only read the first book of that book series, but would like to read more.
What are your thoughts on Miss Finley's writings?
Blessings!

Blog Designing

If any of you would like a blog makeover, let me know! I would love to be able to do it for you. I wouldn't use designs that I've made, but from free blog background websites. I recently re-did my bosom friend's (and her sisters') blog: Living at Home. If you would like a sample of my work, be sure to look at their blog. I did the background, header, blog colors, and most of the sidebar photos-n-things. :) Just leave a comment on this post to let me know if you would like me to re-do your blog. Your blog makeover would be free of charge - and done with love. :)

Blessings,

My 101st Post!!

Oops! I realized today that I hadn't posted anything special for my 100th post. I guess it being Reformation Day was pretty special, but I had wanted to do something else. So...I'll celebrate my 101st post here on God's Daughter! :)

This article is one that I wrote for the "What's Your Story?" column for Feelin' Feminine. You can look it up on their website here, at: http://feelinfeminine.com/?p=1802. But anyway, I just wanted to share it on here, as well. Oh, and I know the poll ended for "What would you like to hear my opinion or write an article about?" and I will try to write an article on modesty soon! Thanks to all who voted on there!


"Conscious to Confident"
By: Miss Raquel

First of all, I just wanted to say that I feel very privileged to be able to share my story on Feelin’ Feminine. I was very encouraged when I came across this website. I hope this essay on myself encourages and strengthens young ladies around the country.

There was a time in my life where I was deeply struggling in my spiritual walk. I didn’t really know what being a feminine, daughter of the King really meant. You see, I have a problem with being very self-conscious about the way I look. I guess I let that get a hold of me, and therefore, I don’t want to feel “out of place”, “weird”, or looked down upon by the world by wearing skirts, dresses, etc. You all, very well know, that girls nowadays do not dress well at all – tight jeans, tight shirts, and show too much cleavage. Well, I wouldn’t go so far as exposing too much of my skin, but I tried to get passed with as much as possible, without having my parents notice. I knew they wouldn’t allow me to wear makeup at such a young age, but I was allowed to wear lip gloss and probably put too much of it on at times. My hair always had to have every hair tucked down nicely, or loose in a way that other girls wore it. I had my bangs cut “side ways”, but Yehovah didn’t make my hair cooperate the way I wanted it to. I guess that was a good thing, huh? Well, to make a long story short, the way I viewed modesty, purity, or femininity was totally opposite of the way Yehovah viewed it.
My brother and I used to go to a homeschool group, and the girls there would always tease other girls if they were caught talking to guys. Having an older brother usually means you will be around other guys, his friends, and so it’s kind of hard avoiding talking to them. Naturally, I didn’t mind talking to guys or girls and wasn’t going to avoid talking to them, and when I did, I always made sure that I was not acting in any way that would be considered flirtatious. However, girls at this group would tease me that I “liked” these guys and that I was being flirtatious. I was being badly influenced by the girls there, but thankfully now they have changed (as I have) on their view of guy/girl relationships. Because of the way the girls there had thought that if a guy was talking to a girl, that they “liked” each other, it gave me the idea that the guys that I talked to “liked” me. It didn’t help either that a few of those guys would tell my brother that they thought I was “pretty” or that they “liked” me, and to say the least I was flattered by the compliments and the attention.
To make matters worse, all this happened around the time that my womanly instincts started kicking in, and I was going through what every young adult goes through – puberty. This is a
very challenging time in a young adult’s life. It seems to you that people don’t understand you, you started noticing things that you’ve never noticed before, and your body starts to change. This is a time when it is VITAL that you have a good relationship with your parents – especially your mom. At this time, I did not, and I am very sorry for that now.
The worst thing that was happening in my life at that time was my spiritual life – it was a mess. I was very far from Yehovah. I’d always find a reason to not read the Scriptures, I thought books on femininity were boring (just “not for me”), and I definitely couldn’t sit down and read a theological book by anyone whom I should have gleaned wisdom from, but one day, and I’m not exactly sure when or how it happened, God showed me that I couldn’t get through life without honoring Him. I was so scared all of a sudden. I thought, “How could I really be saved if I’ve been acting this way?” But you know what? Our God is an awesome, forgiving Father and in His Word He promises that if you believe in Him you are saved. Every believers still sins and we will never be perfect. Yehovah sends trials our way to test how much we trust Him. I remember the time I found myself , scared, in the bathroom, wrapped in a towel, just sitting in a corner and crying until I couldn’t cry anymore.
Then, I finally decided to have a talk with my Mother, and I must tell you, once I sat down and started pouring everything out, it was a lot easier than I thought. She didn’t laugh at me. She didn’t get upset at me…not that I thought she would, but since my relationship with her wasn’t on the best level, I was hesitant to go to her and talk about my spiritual walk. When I was all finished, she told me, “Raquel, God doesn’t have us base things on our feelings. You have to base them on His promises in His Word.” That sentence really struck me. I stopped crying and meditated on that for awhile. This whole time I had been doing just that – basing everything on my feelings. My Mother reminded me that Yehovah is faithful in His promises. That was only the beginning of the changes that started in my life. Ever since that time that I talked with Mother satan has tempted me with the idea that I wasn’t saved, but I continue to cry out to Yehovah to rescue me from the enemy who is seeking after my soul.
I won’t say I never have impure thoughts, but they are not what fill my mind anymore. Now, I have a group of friends (some of them are guys) that treat me as a sister in the Messiah, and it is easier to resist impure thoughts because I am focusing on being a good sister to them. I didn’t really know the meaning of “purity” when I was going to that homeschool group. It wasn’t until my dear friend, Danielle, and I started encouraging each other and searching the Scriptures for the meaning of the word “purity” and what it means to be “pure”. Danielle has been with me through thick and thin, and I love her dearly.
I just wanted to encourage all of you ladies, who are or have in the past dealt with these things, to stay strong in Yehovah, have a good relationship with your parents so that they can pray for you whenever need be, and to remain pure for your future husband. Life is definitely NOT easy, but “I can do all things through Him who gives me power.”
Keeping Strong in Him!

Modern Maid Marian - White Lady of the Castle (Part 4)



Okay, here's another modern outfit. Just a plain white dress that I've had for a couple years - a hand-me-down. :)
I left my hair in the same style as the last outfit, except I added a pearl hair clip. I'm also wearing a pearl necklace and earrings. I'm sorry this isn't the full-length of the dress (it's actually a bit longer than is shown). My little sister, Eunice (8) did her best! :) As did Lydia (9) in the last two parts.
Also, if you can't see it too well, the top of the dress is crocheted, and then the rest is linen.

Midevil Maid Marian - Lady of the Castle (Part 3)


Okay, Part 3...just one more entry and I'll be done! :) Now, I wasn't sure what exactly to title this outfit. It's not exactly midevil - although my family thought it was. :) I tried to make the setting that the pictures were taken in, to look as "inside a castle" as possible. I'm not sure...these didn't turn out as good as I expected them to.


There are gold sequins all up and down the front of the dress.
Tiny gold beads are handsewn into the sleeves (I should've taken a picture of that!!)
It has a short choke-collar.
The sleeves are long(er) so make the puff at the shoulder.
I did my own hair...a style that I thought quite appropriate, if I do say so myself! :)

Modern Maid Marian - Lady of Sherwood Forest (Part 2)

Here is my second entry. Another Modern Maid Marian ...

Love that thick coat!

thick purple coat - Mother's :)
black long-sleeved shirt - hand-me-down
green eyelet skirt - Ross



Just having fun! :)
Some fun black-n-white ones...
another one :)


Modern Maid Marian - Sherwood Forest Lady (Part 1)

Well, here are my Maid Marian photos! And none too soon, either. I didn't even think that I'd be able to enter this because my parents took the nice camera with them to Hawaii. So I was left with an ancient, one-of-the-first digital cameras. So, as you can see, the pictures didn't turn out very well. Plus, I had an amateur photographer (my brother - for this shoot - Part 1).

My outfit consists of:
1. tall black boots - Mother's:)
2. black leggings - JCPenney
3. green long-sleeved shirt (hand-me-down)
4. brown tanktop (also a hand-me-down)
5. grey sweater - Mother's :)
6. studded black belt - a carnival booth :)
7. knife and cape - my brother's :)


pouch - my brother's :)

Song For the Day Tuesday

Well, I hadn't really had a group/singer and song picked out for today. But as I was browsing through a Christian music website, I saw the name "Grey Holiday". "Duh!" I told myself. "They sing in your favorite movie! :) Why not do a post about them?" So...ladies and gentleman, I want to present:



Grey Holiday!
Some little facts about them:

They have been singing since 2003.

Their group consists of:
Matt Minor... Lead Vocals, Guitar
Steven Bedingfield... Guitar, Electronic Programming, BGVs
R.T. Bodet... Bass, BGVs
Josh Fenoglio... Drums, BGVs


Their name comes from the group’s devotion with Jesus Christ. Steven says: "The 'grey' stands for the death and pain that Christ endured, while 'holiday' represents the joyous and everlasting goodness that also came because of His death and resurrection."

They're a great group of guys...and can be really goofy. :) Not only in photos, either! I've heard an interview with them and they "sound" just like they "look". :)

Their song "You Belong To Me" was a hit and was chosen for one of the many Christian songs used in the 2009 production "FIREPROOF".

Today, that is the song I have chosen.
"You Belong To Me"

First Verse:

You run, you hide

As tears fall from your eyes

They fall like snow

From a wounded soul

You hold inside

The hurt of great divide

The hole is starting to get old

(CHORUS)

So come back to the light

To the love, you will find

It’s been here all along

So come back to the start

And you’ll find in your heart

That you always belonged

To me

Second Verse:
Just take the rope

I won’t let it go

Give in

We can start again

I’m life, I’m hope

And I’m ready to explode

With how bad I want you back home

(repeat chorus)


You’re my daughter, you’re my son

You’re the one I long to love

And you’ve heard I chose to die

Do you know you’re the reason why?

(repeat chorus)

Behind the Song:

'“You Belong To Me” is a particularly special moment on the album. Written with Jason Ingram, the song was birthed from a personal place and eventually evolved into a ballad about coming back to God. This song talks about how much love God has for His children and how He seeks us out no matter what we’re going through."' - Matt Minor (Grey Holiday) -Taken from JFH

This song is one of my favorites. It's played in my favorite movie during one of my favorite scenes...when Caleb and Catherine re-unite in the fire station bay. That part also holds significance since Kirk Cameron's wife plays Catherine Holt for the hug and kissing moment. This song was perfect for that scene!! :)

Blessings!

P.S. Sorry the lyrics are spaced out again! :(
