Not bad. I haven't gotten my results back yet (Give me a few weeks on that one...), but I think I did relatively well. Thanks for asking. :0)

Good to hear!

I remember taking the SAT for the (third?) time, and being so calm and relaxed, letting whatever the outcome would be, be the outcome. Maybe it was because I was used to testing at that point, but it was a good day.

Then come to found out later that it was my best score! I stopped testing after that haha

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-07-19 17:34:58 UTC #4423

Yeah, I think I was more confident than a lot of other people in the room. Mainly because I had taken a ACT prep course prior to testing. :0)

Now I have to worry about CLEP exams...

So, next week me and my brother are doing a backpacking trip to the top of a mountain. This is a rather large mountain and there will be some rock climbing involved (not the rope kind, but it’s still climbing) to reach the summit.

Please pray for safety for us two slightly foolhardy souls, and also wisdom to avoid things like mosquitoes, starvation, altitude sickness, and angry bears. This post shall serve as a double purpose of telling everyone that I will be gone next week, so feel free to celebrate not having to read anything written by me for a week.

I shall return, provided that I am not dead.

Praying you have a safe trip!

Make that three, I’d do it too.

Or bawl your eyeballs out. Depends who you are. We'll miss you!!

That Trail sounds exactly like a trail called Old Rag in Shenandoah Nation Park.

Hiking is always great @Sierepica_Fuzzywalker. Prayers for a fun & safe trip sent.

I like to take my family hiking, but we almost always stick to half-day trips, so we expect to see a lot more people while we're out than you will probably see for a longer hike. Therefore, I also like to pray for the opportunity to show love towards others. In your case, even if it's just you and your brother.

And prayer request on our end, we're in the process of moving (military). So prayers requested for safe travels, and the movers not losing/breaking our stuff, for successful house hunting and listening to the Lord to go where He leads us, and for the opportunity to show His love towards others during everything.

p.s. In a few weeks, I'll be in US Central Time again (instead of US Pacific Time).

Praying for you!

Jayhawk_Greencape 2022-08-19 18:30:51 UTC #4430

Praying for you all! :0)

I don’t think I’m allowed to say where I am going, but it’s not that trail, it’s somewhere else.

It’s not the most popular mountain in the world, but if you want to pray for opportunities for me and my brother to show love to people and share the Gospel, that would be welcome as well. That’s a good reminder, heh. Sometimes I need other people to come along and thwack my spiritual brain cells into motion.

I was thinking more about what this means for my brother, who has failed to summit this mountain previously due to a bad climbing partner. The idea I had was to give him a better climbing partner (me) and thus the win of summiting the mountain. I like climbing things.

And praying for the move! Been through that before, it’s no fun.

This reminds me of something else, which might be a bit advanced for this forum, heh, but right now my father is bleeding his vacation days at work trying to care for his parents (my grandparents) who are unbelievers, dying, and thus treating my dad and his siblings rather badly. This has left my mom alone several states away while my dad deals with this. Prayer that my dad would be able to arrange care for his parents and return home soon would be welcome.

Meanwhile, I’m still trying to figure out a source of income that doesn’t cause my mental health to implode (progress is being made, but it is not fast enough for my dad).

And in the midst of all of this chaos, my brother and me have just decided to just bail out and go climb a mountain. Because when your life is full of problems that you are powerless to deal with, the way to deal with it is to pick a different problem that you can actually control and go do that instead of dealing with your issues.

I’m sorry to make you cry. Thanks for the prayers.

Sierepica_Fuzzywalker 2022-08-27 07:32:02 UTC #4432

My dad is home now. Thanks for the prayers!

Also, you know, I have returned. Unfortunately, due a combination of nasty surprises and human error, we didn't summit the mountain. We did get farther than my brother did last time, however, and given the fact that it was our first camping trip without parental assistance and my first backpacking trip, we did rather well.

The biggest nasty surprise was a broken radiator cap on my car on the way in that cost us a day of hiking time, and then a previous flash flood actually wiped out a trail head and made the trail we were hiking more difficult to navigate. These delays made it so we ran out of time and had to turn around halfway up the mountain to avoid being caught out up there in the dark.

While we were decent humans to everyone we encountered, we didn't really get the chance to share the Gospel this trip. With this one, we were more the recipients of love than the givers. The guy who diagnosed our coolant leak and figured out it was the cap and got us back on the road instead of making us wait around for days deserves a medal. Also, on our last day of hiking, we had to navigate the flash flood area using headlamps in the dark, and we got lost, and God sent us some people heading toward us to show us the correct direction and get us out of there.

@Beth_Applemine I'd wait until you are older for this particular mountain, heh. The issue is not that I don't believe that you can climb the mountain - I'm sure you can. The issue is the backpacking trip on the way in, and the pack is 30-40 pounds or so with the tent and everything. It's really heavy, too heavy for a child to carry.

If one wanted to go backpacking with children, I think a llama or mule would be the only way to go, and the trail I was on had some sections that no pack animal would be able to go up, I think. The rock scramble in the bowl leading up to the mountain is not llama friendly, and a lot of folk actually take their backpacking packs through the rock scramble and camp at the base of the mountain so they can summit it quicker. We didn't do that due to lack of time, but if we did it again that would probably be the plan.

Thanks for praying for us. We're still alive, and that's the most important thing. Praise the Lord! If anyone knows any blister treatments that work, send them my way lol. My toes are covered in them. And I think that sums it up. Stay home, play the Aetherlight, fewer blisters.

NOT Talk ALL YOU WANT V!

Just wanted to let you know that there are some wanted guys in the plains provinces. So, pls pray for the Saskatchewan and Manitoba rcmp.

Not a prayer request, just want to say a prayer for the forms and the people here, and those that have left.

Heavenly Father, thank you for today. Thank you for helping us all that we do well in what is right, and that we will focus on you. Thank you for the life that we are living, and that you have showed us how. Thank you for keeping us safe, and for the opportunities you have set out for us to seek and find, thank you for helping us all as you show us how to build each other up. Thank you for those that have been with us and are no longer, that you have called them to a great calling, and that they will fulfil the purpose you have set out for them to do, thank you for helping us that when we rest, that we will not remain there and keep on going to making a life worth living everyday. Thank you for the friendships that have been made here, and thank you for the tests that have been set out that we will be able to find what it is that we may have messed up that we will seek to make it right the way you have commanded us to do, thank you for helping us that if there is any wrong and hurt that we may be carrying, that we will remember to give it all to you, that we will surrender ourselves to you and that you will give us peace. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving us another day to wake up and live another day, another opportunity to make our lives better. Thank you for sacrificing Jesus in our place that we may live. Thank you for making us your children even though we would never deserve it. Thank you Heavenly Father for the people I have gotten to know here, they are one of a kind, and I would not be where I am without them. Thank you for blessing us, and for the future that is to come. In Jesus name, we pray, Amen.

Hey guys. My great aunt passed away two nights ago, leaving my grandmother the last of her siblings. Pray for her and my great aunt's family (Particularly that her family would come to Christ) as they mourn.

Sarah_Flatdash 2022-10-08 15:58:47 UTC #4437

Hey guys, I just got news this morning that @Beth_Applemine got Appendicitis in the middle of the night and she’s in surgery right now. Please pray that she’ll be alright, won’t have any bad effects from the medication and that God will guide the doctors hands while they have to operate.

Emman_Jumpsong1 2022-10-08 19:54:06 UTC #4438

How is she doing? Heard back yet?

Beth_Applemine 2022-10-08 20:38:28 UTC #4439

I’m ok, just got out of the hospital. I had to have an appendectomy...
