Hope here, and I'm so anxious to hear the Nationals results! I wish they would put them up as soon as we got home from locals! I am praying so hard that Natalia and I will see each other again. That's why we created this blog: to share our story and give updates on the National Bible Bee (which both of us will hopefully be at)! But no matter what, we know God is doing what he thinks is best for us. Besides that, I would like to congratulate Mr. Daniel Staddon, who won first place in the senior division at last year's nationals, on his new book, "The 100,000 Dollar Word". 100,000 dollars was last year's first prize for the senior division. The book is filled with tips and tricks for memorizing bible verses, and it is definitely on my wish list for the holidays. Way to go, Daniel! That's all for now, and I hope everyone likes the blog!

My Favorite Bible Verses!
Hi everyone, Hope here with a few of my favorite memory verses.
Hebrews 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw of everything that hinders, and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Isaiah 40:8
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God stands forever.
2 Timothy 4:5
But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will award to me on that day: and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
That is all for now, but we will know by Wednesday if me and Natalia will go to Nationals!

A Lesson From Deuteronomy 10:17-22
Hello, Everyone - Natalia here with one of my "nuggets". The other day I memorized
Deuteronomy 10:17-22, and there were so many things that stood out to me, and I have itched to tell someone about it. You will see that things that stood out to me our in Bold, and are things that I couldn't help but point out.
"Deuteronomy 10:17-22
For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes. He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing. And you are to love those who are aliens, for you yourselves were aliens in Egypt. Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. He is your praise; He is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes. Your forefathers who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky."
I just love that passage. It reminds me that whether we make it or not, God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, he is mighty and awesome.... and he cares for us as orphans! He is my praise and my God, and everything that happens is according to his eternal purpose, which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord! I am so thankful for all he has done, and I will still memorize his word, meditating on it, even if I don't make it to Nationals. And if I don't make it, I lose NOTHING! Because I still have my family, and I still have my rock and my stronghold, My God in whom I trust!!!
