Harry Potter review.

I have been a BIG Potter fan for the better part of 2 years. I wish it had bee longer. I have only seen one in theaters. But I like every single one of the movies! The first one really developed the characters well... though a tad exaggerated they were. that's as good as one gets with such young actors! they got the point of the story along without dragging it too long or adding things! on the second. I think they may have gone a little too much on the story... the book had so much information and not as much action that the movie seemed a little long. but otherwise another great film! the third went as wonderfully as the first. and was not as long as the second. though they took out some interesting and slightly vital information that a lot of people don't know about now because they never read to books. such as WHY they planted the whomping willow at the exact same time that Harry Father, godfather and.. well all those characters were first at Hogwarts. because it was a hideout for Lupin, so that when he became a werewolf he wouldn't have to stay in the school. but that isn't very important! they did the action and the rest of the story perfectly in my mind! the fourth, other than the fact that Harry,Ron and the Weasley twins had such long hair it was very close to the books. and the actors did an excellent job portraying their characters. the fifth. I don't really have anything to say about it except that I thought they did wonderfully! all the actors and actresses did wonderfully with their parts. and the story went really well. they got all the information in without making the film too long. in the sixth though. they skipped some small interesting things. I don't wan tot get into it though. the seventh. I just bought. I am very glad that they made the last book into two movies! they had already had to skip things as it is! I love this movie! All but the scene with the horcrux. they just HAD to put something bad in it! and because I, and no one else, has seen the 8th film. I don't have anything to say about it but that I am super excited for it.... and that was an under exaggeration... and I'm glad that they Gave Matthew Lewis(Neville Longbottom) such a big part! I've seen all the previews and it looks like it's going to be brilliant! the best yet! I have no favourites! I love all of them equally! but that is what I think about them. I own. the third, sixth and seventh films. I hope to own the rest of them too. but until then I still have the library and Netflix! write to you again soon!

it's good to be back!

sorry it as been so long!this is Eudoxia The laptop would not let me log my sister out of her blog, so we figured it out so that I'm blogging from her but...well. it's still me. =P anyways. My Parasite should be all gone now! I'm slowly getting back into my old life again! I missed it more than I thought... We have some dates planned with some family friends, I have my Belated Birthday party to plan. and I get to go out to dinner with my Grandparents and my Mom and Dad. Chipotle?? oh yea!  I've been doing a lot more creative projects. I've made four bracelets from the old bead set I have. and I've draw four drawings from The Edge Chronicles book series. I think I have read..... wait.. I now this one... seven books now and painted two water color paintings. one horse. and one flower with vines.  I mean they're not very good but it's so much fun to be creative. I'm also doing embroidery. dish clothes for my sister. Owls. =P they're very cute! but other than that life is normal. get up.. read the daily devotions. read from whatever book series I'm currently reading. do some craft-ish thing. some TV shows and a movie. then end with the daily nightly devotions. there are so many things that I've taken for granted. little things. like sitting in the library with my family and watching a movie together. or taking a walk outside. or even chores! I couldn't really do any of that! but now I'm going to have soo much fun getting outside and gardening and mowing the lawn again! I forgot about doing such little things like, getting up to refill my water bottle, or getting my own food. =/ but! since it is way too late and I need my sleep for blogging tomorrow. I will end this with a good night!!   #*Eudoxia*#

Well hey there!

so I've never blogged before. so bear with me... I was going to start with "I'm just an ordinary girl" when I thought to myself... I'm not exactly ordinary. I'm quite eccentric. my days sstart with a morning devotion and taking my med. then I get into the exciting stuff. such as Reading a good book, or drawing an illustration. I don't take very good photos like my sister does! but I think I'll have her take some of my drawings to post on here. and I'm not a very good writer either so this wont be very long..... let me see. I have already stated that I became a Christian about 2 years ago. under the teaching of Pastor Johnson at TCBC. and I've learned a lot from John MacArthur's sermons! they are wonderful! especially when you spend most of your time in bed, it's really nice to be able to listen to sermons online! sooo. I think I have already run out of ideas. if anyone has any ideas for what to write about just let me know! I'll keep you posted!... well that wasn't a very good pun but still. I hope you enjoy my posts. and I'm sure that I will at least! write to you soon!

Beggining thoughts.

well... I'm sitting here in my bed... I have a terrible cold... and I have to take a medication every day so I don't get a build up of acid in my system... I'm getting less of that than I deserve. and more good than I deserve too.... Life is good!!!
 the last 4 months or so are all a blur... every day, seeing if I'd feel good or not... what would happen in my life.. i just had to trust God... It's been hard to keep track of time. only thing I can count the days with is all my books. =P I've read more in the last 4 months than most teenagers have in their entire lives...
about two years ago I got saved... in church at TCBC, Pastors sermon just sort of hit me like a cannon ball... right to the head. he preached on trusting God with our lives... and giving Him everything... I thought to myself... did I trust Him?? Was I willing to give up everything to follow Him??? I spent that week praying.. reading His word... I read one of my favorite verses. Romans 10:9.. for if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead... you will be saved... and it hit me. I'd never really understood that. I had lived my life, going to church on Sundays and Wednesdays.. I'd get home and forget everything, and just go about my day. thinking. 'I'll have time for God later' ... ... Romans 10;9 (that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved) doesn't just mean saying it... but really taking it to heart. believing it.. God saved us from our sins. when we were not worth it. He died for ME!! after that week of meditation and prayer, that God would have mercy on me, and take me back... I saw changes in myself. I didn't always answer with a harsh tong... ALWAYS... =P I found myself, with His help, being helpful and kind. and I had, for the first time in my life a REAL starvation for his word... another sermon... pastor said, every breath we take if a gift from Him. we don't deserve one more breath. but He gives it to us anyway... i found myself praying mornings, and thanking Him for the gift of life... he gave us our life... i had to give something back to Him. I didn't deserve any of it!! did I believe that He was Lord?? had I given my life to Him? Fully? not just twice a week for 3 hours.. but ALL the time. before I was saved, I couldn't see myself trusting in Him at all. I was all for myself. not even for my family. My life was terrible. I had a really bad temper. and "attitude". God has helped me with it though. =D and even with my health issues. I have a peace that I had never had before...  anyway... life is hard. but with Him. we can do it. and ONLY through Him, can we do it.
 Man we don't deserve Him!!!
