Bernie's Random Ramblings // September Highlights

Welcome to Bernie's Random Ramblings
Today I thought I'd do another September Highlights.
Firstly, I can't believe September is already gone.
I'm happy though!

1. Me and my friends finished our movie.
We've been making a mystery movie these days. Every Tuesday we meet at the library and shoot it. It's really fun because we can make really funny personalities for all of our characters. I'm Director Bernie. Sup. Now that we've finished that 20 minute movie we're doing a prequel which is around 20 minutes long. We haven't finished it though. We could have a show!
2. My family went to the Apple Festival.
Every year we go to the apple festival with all our mom's family. It's super fun to go on the rides, hang with our grandma and grandpa, and go to the parade. This year we had to babysit some kids so we got to go to the parade with them and take them on rides. I got to go on the dumbo ride. I was a flying elephant. :P It was super fun! I also went on a ride that took you upside down. Very fun also :P
3. Play Behold our God on the guitar.
We've been doing guitar for about a month and now we're playing Behold our God. So far we've learned the G, A, C, D7, D, EM, and F. It's very fun. I love playing guitar because I can praise God and also be doing something else. Like playing the guitar and singing to God. :)
4. I got a 92% on my biology test!
Yay! My first test and I was very satisfied with my score. Tomorrow I have another one that I'm a little tiny bit worried about. I can do it though! ;) I enjoyed this chapter because we talked a lot about bacteria. That was fun.
5. Enjoying church history.
This class has been so fun! I love it. I'm dying this week because we don't have a class this week.
6. Getting really close to doing my backhandspring by myself.
Right now I just need to work on not being nervous when I do a backhandspring by myself because when I'm nervous I don't think about doing my backhandspring right. I can do it though. I'm really excited. I THINK in a couple weeks I'll have it by myself. Hopefully. Please pray!
6. Went on a mission trip!
I'm excited about this one! This week we went to a Children's home with my youth group. It was very fun! I'll have to do another post about it. Basically we did weed eating for them and also made fleece blankets for the girls. We also did a special service for them. Anyway, you can hear about it soon. STAY TUNED!! :P
7. This isn't a highlight because I wanted glasses (reading glasses) but we went to the eye doctor and I don't need glasses.
I love glasses because I look good in them. Even the girl said, "I owned those glasses." :P I'm going to buy myself some fake glasses cause I won't too. Don't judge. The girl said me and my mom should be glasses models. I'm looking into it. You don't know how much times I work on my smile in the bathroom. :P lol
8. I wore a long sleeve shirt!
yay! It's finally getting cool out. :) YAY FALL!

9. We've been staying up late!
YAYYYYY!

October Highlights
1. Get up earlier. September Highlight 9 is still gonna happen though.
2. Get my roundoff backhandspring.
3. Drink apple cider!
4. Go to more high school football games.

What I Like About the Song He Will Hold Me Fast.

Welcome to Good Apples Friday
Today I'm sharing a song that we sing at church a lot.
It's called He Will Hold me Fast.

When I fear my faith will fail,
Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail,
He can hold me fast.


Refrain

He will hold me fast,
He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so,
He will hold me fast.

I could never keep my hold,
He will hold me fast;
For my love is often cold,
He must hold me fast.


Refrain

I am precious in His sight,
He will hold me fast;
Those He saves are His delight.
He will hold me fast.


Refrain

He’ll not let my soul be lost,
Christ will hold me fast;
Bought by Him at such a cost,
He will hold me fast.


Refrain







I love this song because it's so comforting.
When we go through trials.
He will hold us fast.
He'll never let go.

I love the verse, "Oh my Savoir loves me so,"
It's so awesome to know that God loves you.

Remember to know what God is holding you.
You don't have to be afraid.

What I Like About The Song Behold Our God

Welcome to Good Apples Friday
Today I wanted to share the lyrics of Behold our God.

Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice

CHORUSBehold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!

VERSE 2 Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His Words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

CHORUSBehold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!


VERSE 3Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior risen now to reign!

CHORUSBehold our God seated on His throne
Come let us adore Him
Behold our King nothing can compare
Come let us adore Him!


 You will reign forever!
 Let Your glory fill the earth
You will reign forever!
 Let Your glory fill the earth
You will reign forever!
 Let Your glory fill the earth




I really like this song because it reminds us of how great God is.
How this God has our life in his hands.
So don't be afraid!


Psalms 42:4-5 says, "These things I remember
    as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go to the house of God
    under the protection of the Mighty One[d]
with shouts of joy and praise
    among the festive throng.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
    Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
    for I will yet praise him,
    my Savior and my God."

Our God is awesome!
He conquered death.
He's got everything under control.
