This is sort of a book review (Be the friend you want to have)

-

      Hi! Okay. If you love reading then comment and if you read. And seriously enjoy Cynthia Lord's book then follow and comment!

     I read Because of the Rabbit by Cynthia Lord a while ago. Actually, I keep reading some parts over again. I do that with books I really like. But anyway, I love that the main character was homeschooled. The part I am kinda like, meh, about is that she, Emma, went to school.

     Her brother went to school and was talking about it all the time and spending less time with her. So she decides that she wants to go to school to see what she's missing out on. Not that there is anything wrong or terrible about being a school kid. I'm sure there are awesome, even fun, parts to it. But she wasn't missing out on nothing! The place she lives, in the story, sounds amazing. I mean, I guess she could be lonely without her brother or any other siblings, but come on. The story kind of looks down on homeschooling in a way I don't really like. Being a homeschooler is awesome!

     The part I absolutely love about the book, though, is the point the author makes. Be the kind of friend you want to have! I mean, I myself am not very good at following that advice, but it's good advice nonetheless. You can't expect other people to be a certain way if you aren't willing to do the same. For example, the girl, Emma, wants a friend who will let her be herself, yet she doesn't want her brother to change. She wants him to do everything that includes her. That is not letting him be himself.

     This applies to a lot of things and I just wanted to bring it up. I will post, soon hopefully, more about this and with the addition of another book I read recently that kind of relates. I hope you enjoyed reading this. (And that you like reading😏😜) I will try to post more often. Tell me if you like theses kind of posts and what you want me to post about.

THANKS FOR READING AND HANGING OUT!

Don't step out on your own

  Stepping out on your own should be scary.      Everyone likes to go with the flow. Some people, like me, dream of doing things differently. We see these movies and videos everywhere about people who made a difference, a change in the world, by turning a different way from the rest of the world. What everyone else said was right might have been wrong. Or maybe people were making choices, but somebody realized there's a better way and acted on it. Whatever the reason, whether anyone stood by them or not, these people did what they thought was right. They went a new way.      Now being alone is scary. It's much easier to follow a path someone else has travelled than to pave your own. Have you ever wanted to step onto an unknown path, but instead planted your foot in dense jungle, so you immediately retreat back to the main road? Yeah! That unknown path you were looking for, it was created by somebody else. There's nothing unknown about it. And all the c...

Galations 5 | Burning Ships and Not Looking Back

 Does Burn the Ships Mean Forget the Past? (How do I not look back?)       Galations 5:1      For freedom CHRIST has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.      So all who have faith in JESUS, that he died for our sins and rose again so that one day, either when we die or on the last day, we he will bring us to life in heaven with Him, are free. All that believe in JESUS are free. But how do we stand firm? And what is a yoke of slavery?      Well, to answer the first question, let me say this: we cannot do any good thing, or even anything at all on our own. Standing firm requires faith and trust. According to biblekeeper.com, "Faith is the first step, where individuals choose to believe in GOD's promises and redemptive plan." "Trust is a deep belief and reliance on GOD's character, wisdom, and promises. It acts as a steadfast foundation,  particularly when faced with trials t...
