Quarter 3: Week 3: Thursday: 1 Kings 3: 16-28:

             Quarter 3: Week 3: Thursday: 1 Kings 3: 16-28:
                       Two ladies who lived together came before the King, They both had babies, and lived only by themselves. One of the ladies's baby had died, so she switched the babies out. The monther of the alive one woke up to a dead baby that was not hers. The other one protested that the living one was hers, anbd the dead one was the other ladies's baby. Since Solomon was wise he said bring me a sword so I may cut the baby in half, one half for each mother. The real mother beged him to to, while the false one said she was fine with it. When the town had heard what he did, they stood in awe for he did have wisdom from God. The current situation in my life that I see God's wisdom in is everyday life. It's amazing how God knew/knows what everysingle breathing thing needs in life. I see how he knew what each one would need to eat, and that just leaves me in awe like Solomon left his people.

Quarter 3: Week 3: Wednesday: 1 Kings 3: 1-15:

               Quarter 3: Week 3: Wednesday: 1 Kings 3: 1-15:
                           Solomon made an friends with the Pharaoh of Egypt, then married his daughter. He brought her to the city while his palace, and the temple of God were being built. Solomon went to Gibeon to make his sacrifices. After giving his thousand sacrifices, it was there the Lord asked him to wish for anything. The Lord was pleased to hear Solom say he asked for wisdom to govern his people. Along with wisdom the Lord gave him wealth and honor so he would be a great king. Solomon woke thinking it was a dream, and gave his sacrifices to the Lord. I'm not sure I could have made such an unselfish wish as Solomon did. I probably would have asked for a selfish wish for God to grant,Solomon was wise to ask for wisdom as king. If I could ask for anything it would be for my aunt to get her new car. They are trying to save their money, and have an old car and truck. I can remember them from when I was like two, and I know they had it quite some time before then.

Quater 3: Week 3: Tuesday: 1 Kings 1: 28-53:

               Quater 3: Week 3: Tuesday: 1 Kings 1: 28-53:
                                  King David called  Bathsheba and mad an oath to her. The oath was that he would keep his promise to her and Solomon, her son, would become king after he was. He was as sure as day Solomon would sit in the throne he was sitting in. As Bathsheba left, she bowed with respect. King David told Zadok, Nathan, and Benaiah to take his son Solomon on his mule and blow their trumpits. As they blew the trumpits they where to say long live king Solomon. He told them he had made Solomon king of Israel and Judah. They went of and as they proclaimed him the new king, all the town rejoiced. King Solomon promised as long as Adonijah did no evil, he would be as safe as ever. God is always in control, wether we feel it or not. One way to know he is still in control, is the fact that I woke up this morning, and that I am breathing.

Quarter 3: Week 3: Monday: 1 Kings 1: 5-27:

              Quarter 3: Week 3: Monday: 1 Kings 1: 5-27:
                           Adonijah, son of Haggith,  said he was going to be King. He got charriots, horses, and fifty men on his side. When he went to sacrifies his sheep his King's an officials along. Nathan asked Bathsheba if he heard the Adonijah became king, but David knew nothing of it. Nathan also told her, oh and her son was Solomon, that Solomon was ment to be king after David, not Adonijah. Nathand and Solomen's mom went to the King to ask if he knew anything f this, and he didn't. Making good decisions is a very important thing. Any wrong choice could bring you down a road that will take years to get off. Like taking a cigerett, forinstance. You tell yourself it's just this one time, and it won't hurt. Next thing you know, your house is gone, you lost your job, low on money, and sitting in the hospital with lung cancer.

Quarter 3: Week 2: Friday: 2 Samuel 18: 1-18:

                Quarter 3: Week 2: Friday: 2 Samuel 18: 1-18:
                               David made commanders and sent out troops. The king said he would march out with them, but they said he shall not, for he was worth a thousand of them. The king watched as they march and told them to go easy on Absalom. David's army marched on to fight the city of  Israel. Absalom happend to be riding his donkey as David's men where coming. His hair got stuck in a tree, they donkey rode on, and he was dangling in midair. Some men saw him and told Joab. Joab asked them why he did not strike him then, and they replied that the king warned them to protect him. Absalon named a pillar after himself beacuse he didnt have a son, and to this day it goes by the name Absalom’s Monument. In a situation i am mostly likly to lose comtrol is when i had to do a skit in spanish. A girl and I got stuck with someone who didn't do much to help the group, whose name I wish not to speak. Instead of getting mad at him I should have prayed for God's guidance. 

Quarter 3: Week 2: Thursday: 2 Samuel 15: 1-37:

             Quarter 3: Week 2: Thursday: 2 Samuel 15: 1-37:
                             Over time Absalom began to prove himself to all. He came over offering peace to the king and the people of Israel. Four ears Later he asked the king if he go to Hebron. He wants to go there because he made a vow to the Lord that he would praise Him in Hebron if he got him in Jerusalem. The king said he could, and so went his journey. Absalom ended up sending messangers to warn Israel, adn David said they must leave for they must get from Absalom. His officials told him they where ready to do as he did. When he left he was smart enough to leave ten behind to protect the palace. Sometimes during the journey the ing told Zadok to take the ark of God back into the city and if the Lord finds favor in him, then he would send hm back.  Zadok took the art of God back, and stayed there with it. David's confidant, Hushai, arrived at the same time Absalom did. There are many people who keep my motives clear. God, my parents, my 220 leader, teachers, and most of all my friends. The way i see it, my friends are true friends when they can help me with sticky situations.

Quarter 3: Week 2: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 14: 1-33 :

           Quarter 3: Week 2: Wednesday: 2 Samuel 14: 1-33 :
                         A woman fromTekoa went to the king she asked for his help and told him she was a widow. Her killed her other son, and now people are after him. The king told her if anyone was to bother her, that she could come to him. He assured her that her son would be safe. Absalom was safe now, and he had three sons and one daughter. All this time the king did not want to see Absalom. The woman from Tekoa went straight to the king with her family problems. My mom taught me to go to the REAL King, God, with my problems. Those problems also include family problems too. Sometimes I will pray, or try and talk it out.
