"He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much." -Luke 16:10

Wow I love how God's thinking is a brain teaser for us!!!!

I'm gonna be an aunt. That's all I have to say. I'm...still speechless. Every time I think about it, I just get all warm and happy inside. I can NOT wait. ..Now how am I ever gonna be able to go away for college? lol. I had been discussing something with my parents. "Always get it in writing" is kinda how the conversation went. So a few days after, we were talking about the baby, and me going to college when it's about a year old and my dad said..."You won't ever be able to leave! You will just have to stay at home." "Dad, can I have that in writing?!" "aha! no." - ughhh! So close. Too bad he didn't fall for it. ;)

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a very blessed December so far. Enjoy the time you have to be with your family. Don't take it for granted. It's an immense blessing.

Lord Bless. (my grandpa said that today. I always hear "God bless", but I like this one. Lord bless. :] )

!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!! Congrats to John and Sarah!

I'm doing great! Next week is finals week and I only have to go one or two days, today I had my singing final where I sang by myself in front of ten people, something I've never done before. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a violin (it's beautiful!!! and it's pretty much new and a really good price) and later on tomorrow I'm having a Bible study with a guy from school. I'm really excited about that! Then I'm going to visit his church on Friday night.

What have you been up to lately?

by gemma at 12/09/09 5:41PM
i'm so excited for everyone! auntie mel :)

YOU are going to be such a wonderful Aunt! I can remember when my sister was expecting the first baby in our family...I was so excited and fell completely in love with him immediately! I'm so happy for all of you Ferenczes and Fochts! My December is going great. We are enjoying the holiday season and anxiously awaiting xmas day. It's always such a fun time of year. I love you!

by momw at 12/10/09 9:08PM
You will be an amazing aunt! Baby Focht is a lucky baby!

by nycami at 12/10/09 11:31PM
I am so incredibly excited for you guys! And I can sympathize with the "warm and happy" feeling whenever I think of Sarah and Jon having a baby. :) :) :)

by laurar209 at 12/11/09 1:40PM

by wydrogirl at 12/12/09 9:35AM

by wheelman at 12/12/09 11:08PM
WOW! THAT'S AWESOME! I don't really know Sarah but tell Jon I said congrats. What's it feel like? ppl keep pressuring my brother and sister-in-law to have a kid so I wanna know what it's gonna feel like to be an uncle ;)

by little_judy at 12/14/09 10:54PM

by wydrogirl at 12/15/09 8:17PM
Probably in another year and a half, I will be an aunt!

by _sylviaanne_ at 12/19/09 6:27PM

by little_judy at 01/11/10 3:53PM

update? yea :))

I like John...

(the book!) which I have been reading through and thoroughly enjoying.

I am immensly looking forward to the holidays. It means my family will all be together, and that is the most special thing to me. 10 days for steph to come home. I am counting down. (as you can probobly tell!)

Now my question is...why is it that when you sit down to write a post, you think you have nothing to say or talk about? You think everyone knows it all already. But, in actuality, almost anything you write would be knew to almost anyone who reads it. ...Right? lol.
So now I guess that means I should write something more..

Okay, I'm attempting to read "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens which is a 855 page book. Did I mention I'm reading it in my freetime? I ask myself...how on EARTH do you have enough freetime to do that!? And honestly...I don't know, cause things are reallly busy right now. However, I am determined. And when I'm determined, nothing can stop me. (almost?)

Our bonfire is shortly coming up. Don't forget! I'm really looking forward to it. There will be lots of people there I havn't seen in a while :)

~mel

(p.s....I think this is most likely one of my most random posts. and this is for monica:"shhhhh! don't tell carly!")

=)

by missy_my at 11/14/09 5:20PM
yay! You posted! I'm looking forward to the holidays too!

I know how you feel. I used to post a lot about what was happening in my life or the funny stuff I found on the computer but I don't post as much anymore cuz not much is going on and I feel like everone already knows everything else. =P Just in case you didn't know though, I'm playing the violin now. It's sooo much fun! yet kind of aggravating too that i can't play whatever I want yet. I guess I'm closer than I was when I got start tho. =)

That bonfire sounds cool! We went to some friends' house last night and they had a fire going outside. I love the fire...=)

Love ya Mel. =)

by gemma at 11/14/09 6:57PM
You know that Dickens got paid per word?

by wheelman at 11/15/09 8:51PM
haha i love you mel

by click at 11/16/09 8:30AM
I love you :)

by momw at 11/16/09 10:09AM
Melanie -- I remember hearing Brother Bob rave (and yes, "rave" is the perfect word to fit what he kept saying in regards to this! :) about your Pumpkin Cheesecake? Or something very similar to that title? If it's not a secret recipe and you don't mind sharing, might you email to me, send via facebook, or post it on my blog? I'm thinking of trying it out for Thanksgiving.

Thank you! :) Hope all is well with you -- Catherine, myself and a friend are planning on coming for the bonfire -- can't wait to see you and your family. :)

by laurar209 at 11/16/09 5:12PM
Hey. You. You're wonderful and I love you!

by jillykinsx3 at 11/16/09 11:17PM
Us girls are hoping to come to the bonfire. What time does it start at?

by funnymonkey at 11/17/09 5:25PM
Do people in the NE know how to party with a bonfire? :) JK. Do you know if you'll be going to lectures?

by wheelman at 11/19/09 11:20AM
I hope to see you next Friday. I'm going to try to get two more girls to come with us. Is that ok?

by funnymonkey at 11/19/09 5:52PM
Do you want us to bring any food? or anything else?

by funnymonkey at 11/20/09 12:34PM
No specific definition. Yeah, I think that's the plan.

by wheelman at 11/20/09 10:50PM
Hey beautiful! I LOVE your new pic up there!!!!

Correspondence with a soldier.

at 10/25/09 11:02PM

I'm e-mailing a young man who is a soldier and was formerly in Iraq, but is currently in Hawaii. I'm asking him questions about the war and anything that it would involve. If you were me...what questions would you ask him? I would love some ideas. :)

With the knowledge of war as he saw it, if he had the choice to make over again would he still go?

by gemma at 10/26/09 8:03AM
What kind of things kept him encouraged, and cheered him up?

by nycami at 10/26/09 8:35AM
Does he like coconut and pineapple? :) That would be cool to be in Hawaii cuz I love those two, and I bet you could get some pretty good fresh stuff.

by noby_wan at 10/26/09 3:11PM
What does he wish the American people would really understand about the war?

by dressednyella at 10/26/09 4:44PM
If I was you I would ask him if he wanted to go out when he gets back.

by wheelman at 10/26/09 9:21PM
:) just kidding!

by wheelman at 10/26/09 9:21PM
Atually I think I would want to know what Americans should really know ^ and also what the attitude of people over there was.

by wheelman at 10/27/09 5:00PM
I don't know, that is funny because the book that I am writing has war in it.

Life holds many things for us. The longer we live, the more we experience. The more we grow. Sometimes those things aren't easy tho. Often we fall. And it's such a great struggle to pick ourselves back up again. But people! lol! We are NEVER able to pick ourselves back up again. GOD picks us up again. He takes us by the hands, stands us on our feet, and dusts us off. He will see us through anything. He is the source of our strength.

My life is so busy. It's kinda insane. I experience something new every week it seems. Ever day. I need to remember that I should rely more upon God when I'm worried, when I'm stressed, when I'm tired.

We are nothing without HIM. So serve Him more. Serve Him better.

amen! It's easy for me to start thinking I'm something for the few abilities that I have. (that God gave me!)

by wheelman at 10/04/09 10:21PM
yeah! So how's it going?

by wheelman at 10/04/09 10:41PM
I saw your sister in Columbus Thursday. You should come to Columbus too. :)

by noby_wan at 10/05/09 10:35AM
Oh yeah, I met one of them in Colombus.

by wheelman at 10/05/09 5:17PM
amen

by little_judy at 10/05/09 8:15PM

by cameronw at 10/05/09 9:38PM

by nanna at 10/06/09 12:40PM

by missy_my at 10/08/09 12:26PM
haha I do totally love you so much :)

by click at 10/09/09 2:27PM
Amen. This is a great post. Definetly worth reading. It is often hard to see Him there because He isn't physical but God is watching with His outstretched hand waiting for us to take it.

by miqueias at 10/13/09 10:33PM
We missed you! Next year you're definately coming, like you used to!!

by pohatmom at 10/19/09 12:34PM
Dear MelMel, that is so precious! I feel so special every time you say you love me and my family! You and your beautiful sisters are one of my most cherished blessings!
