Noel are you home schooled?
Shel, I go to school online at a Christian academy. They provide a special laptop with programs and apps to be used offline, and the laptop connects directly to the online school where I watch video instruction and take tests. I also receive one on one instruction from my teachers on video where I can ask questions. It's self paced so I go to school 6 days a week about 8 hours a day. I'm working my way through grade 12 content and I hope to graduate by January.

The families say the food banks around here don't have much fresh food. Mostly bread, pasta, sauce.
Our friend Keiran has started a program where our small local grocery stores give him their unsold fruit that is "best before" a couple days from now, and he's been dropping of about 10 boxes of apples, pears, bananas, peaches, plums, oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and limes every day at the soup kitchens over in Seattle, and he brings home about 5 boxes to the greenhouse so people who take veggies can take fruit too. We don't have fruit growing all year. The stores throw away all the fruit while it's still good. Keiran is trying to collect it from as many stores as possible.

<-- If dad were here he'd use this face.

*read a 27 page update to the grocery list before bed.
Now I know how you all feel when you have to read all of our long posts

Will someone be able to provide milk and cereal too? And sandwiches? We have clubs like this here.
This all sounds amazing!
So far the kids didn't want those things after the first week. They have cereal and milk at home, and they have bread. But they usually didn't have fruit and vegetables and lettuce and salads. So they think it's a privilege to have the fresh stuff instead. You live in Wales? That's wonderful you have meal programs there too! It makes such a big difference when young people are trying to pay attention at school and not fall asleep :)

Hello Friends! I haven't been in here much. All is good and I've been making new friends and serving God. We've also been kind of taking a look at everything we're doing and seeing how to be more productive by doing less. A man named Keiran lives in dad's house and he reorganized the greenhouse so it uses MUCH less water and still gets everything watered, and we can grow double the amount of plants. We don't have to work as many hours in the greenhouse because all we have to do is turn on three taps and everything gets watered. It used to take me 4 hours to water everything and someone else 4 hours to water it 12 hours later. There's still lots of harvesting and planting and pruning and weeding to do.
But we're trying to do this same thing with all our other programs by working smarter in less hours. The breakfast food program, the kids started bringing their school friends and we had over 100 children. It grew again and we didn't have enough room to keep meeting here at my house (Noah's house, he's my dad). So we started meeting at the church today. 145 children. But yesterday one of our pastors Emmanuel was talking with the principal at the school where most of these kids attend, and the principal said the children are doing much better in class, paying attention, and have more energy. Emmanuel told the principal about this food program. I don't know everything they talked about but the school is now going to have the food program at the school cafeteria every weekday morning an hour before school starts, for all 289 children or whoever wants to show up. At first when we started we had all kinds of foods. Then the children just wanted mostly fruit, and vegetables with dip. And then they just wanted all vegetables with dip and then apple and orange juice.
So the agreement we have with the school is our food program workers will cut up and wash vegetables the night before and put them in large containers and deliver the veggies and dip to the school fridges. And the next morning the kids will show up and the teachers will serve the veggies and dip to the children, and they will also provide juice boxes funded by the school. This food program will still be free of charge for all the children of the school. It takes about 2 hours to wash and cut up and sort all the vegetables if we're feeding the whole school. So that will be my job to do that the night before with Nova (my mom's sister), and dad, and Keiran and then we'll drop it off at the school. They gave us the key to go in and stock up the fridges.
So I won't be going to the school to help in the mornings. The teachers have taken over and I'll be going to the church to help my auntie Nova with the very small breakfast program with about 12 children, and a daycare until 2:30 each day and then we can go home. I can't remember how many kids are in the daycare. I like being around kids!! I like this new direction my responsibilities have taken. It's less work but more fun and more productive. The teachers are very nice to help with the food program and to let the children eat in the school. Instead of packing lunches to take to school, the children will meet back in their cafeteria at lunch and have salads and juice. What we wash and cut and bring to the school is: Carrot sticks, celery sticks, broccoli, cauliflower, snowpeas, cucumber slices, radishes, cherry tomatoes, red-yellow-green pepper slices, lettuce, and spinach. We make a big bowl of ranch dip.
This program at the school will start in a few days. Until then we'll be meeting at the church basement.
Thank you for listening and for praying! [hearts]

Mr. Gandalf, you're a very wise man.
Dear Worthy famiky:
I've taken some time away and I'm just back to update a prayer request for Uncle David's daughter. But also people here might have noticed a lot of my dad's brothers in Christ registering here lately. These are some of the men who are like fathers to me, who watch over me offline and keep me well protected. I love them very much and they are my family. We share meals together, laugh together, work together, pray together, go to church together. We share life and I always feel very safe offline. Anyone who wants to harm me would have to get through them first, and they're not get-through-able.
I was having some issues here online at Worthy, so some of these same Uncles haved joined the Worthy family to extend that same protection over to the internet. Whenever I make a posting in here, one or more of them will be sitting next to me to monitor what I'm saying. Some young women wouldn't like that. Me? I'm overflowing with thankfukness and I feel very loved and very safe. They will all click the follow button on my profile so that even when someone looks at my profile, they'll see all these "scarecrows" hovering around me (hahaha! That's how they described it. I would never call them scarecrows.)
So this is their way of reminding me they love me and that I'm not alone. I have a bunch of things to take care of yet for school and morning ministry, but I'll be here again soon. I love this Worthy family. Hugs and Prayers
Noël Kaih

Hello Worthy Family,
Edit: I'm struggling with posting too much detail and that isn't safe to do online. I'm going to take some time away and I'll come back when I have a better plan of action and have it more clear in my mind what's acceptable and what's not. My life group prays through 35 prayers every evening from this forum, and we add new prayers daily. You are all in my heart and I hope to see you again soon. Love & Hugs!

I also don't know how to post photos yet but I'll figure it out. A good point, Adstar, about proofreading!

Today my teacher gave me an assignment to write out the book of Genesis. I'm supposed to write 5 to 10 verses every day starting in chapter 1 and continuing through every verse of every chapter until done. The purpose is 1) To help get God's word in my heart, 2) To improve my printing and handwriting, and 3) To create a finalized personal copy of the book of Genesis for me and my family. It would take approximately one year and I'll be graduating before I'm finished but will continue on my own. After Genesis, I would like to copy the book of John.
Would anyone like to write a copy also? If so then I will post a picture every day of that day's five verses, and you can post yours too, and we will work through the whole book together. When my copy is done I'm going to give it to my dad.

Hi friends, is this the right place to post this?
We're going camping and will be back in a few days. Dad, stepdad, Amy and her parents, dad's 6 other friends from work. There will be plenty of people there that dad won't have to do anything but go for walks and grill stuff and watch the squirrels play
Dad's sister is going to take care of the greenhouse. I have to go and print school work to take with me. See you on Saturday or Sunday. Lots of love!

Rebellious anger is often the clothing that the bad kind of fear wears. Are you afraid of something?
The bad kind of fear takes over when holy fear is lacking.
Holy fear comes from knowing God, spending time with God in prayer and in His word and being reminded how infinity big He is compared to the people or things you're tempted to be afraid of.
God is the best hiding place.
Think about how angry God must be with whoever has hurt you. Pray for them because they are running out of time, meanwhile you're safe in Jesus' arms.

Thank you everyone for all these awesome testimonies! I wanted to put hearts next to all your posts in this topic but I get a message saying I've used them all up for today
but I can still make pictures thankfully so here is a heart ♥!!
There's something that happens when we lose a loved one, even a pet. We try and live on the memories but that's not enough. We know there's a heaven and we believe they're in heaven. So we try and get closer to the God who is with that loved one. When my brother would tell me about God I didn't understand. But when my brother died and all I had left were his words, I thought about all his words and his beliefs and I curled up inside his heart and mind in my own heart and mind. And then I felt from God what my brother must have felt from God. I felt God's love. I went and found Josiah's Bible and I didn't know how to read very well but I started to read it in the book of John, and I felt like I was reading it from earth while Josiah was reading it from heaven. I felt like Josiah was sitting on Jesus' lap on one side and me on the other, and Jesus was reading to us.
My mom reacted differently. She was angry with God for taking away her child. She thought that if Josiah belonged to God, then God shouldn't have let him die from a terrible disease. I think she was just starting to believe there might be a God, and then Josiah died, and mom decided there is no God. That's just her way of trying to hurt God because she knows He's real. But she didn't want me to read the Bible so I read it quietly on my own since age 6, and then the first time someone (my dad) asked me if I wanted to receive Christ in my heart, I prayed to receive Him.
When my brother died it did a lot of bad things in my family that start out bad but grow into good things. I didn't see my dad for lots of years but when I saw him again when I was 14,he was brand new and full of joy and full of the same Spirit just like Josiah was. God had taken all my dad's pain and made my dad new in Christ. Dad invited me to come to his church and I received Christ and I understood finally what it's like when believers are all together.
But I think God sometimes takes loved ones away so that the ones who stay behind will get to know God better. Sometimes we rely on a loved one so much that we don't even long for God. With my dad and brother in my life I didn't have to rely on God at all. What I'm learning now that I'm back with my dad is a good balance of needing God but also needing an earthly dad. The way for that to happen is dad and I pray together and worship God together and study His word together.
But our saved loved ones are still right inside God and we're also right inside God.
Even animals, they are energy. God takes energy from Himself and creates an animal. The animal's body dies, but the energy goes right back to God.

When I was 5 years old when it was summer of 2009, my brother Josiah was 14 and he had been having headaches and nausea for 2 months. The doctors said he had a brain tumor that would just get worse and couldn't be removed. That was a very sad time for us and all Josiah wanted to do was see the ocean. So mom, dad, Josiah and me packed up our things and we went to Oregon to the coastline and set up a camp near to the ocean on the sand. We camped there for a little over a month and that was the best time of our lives, the most fun we ever had as a family, all of us together in peace. We walked on the sand every day for miles and miles and Josiah's headaches went away. He turned 15 years old while we were there.
I remember looking up at the stars at night and Josiah would tell us how God created the stars. He was the only Christian in our family at that time. He would talk about how God loved us. We didn't really understand. But that month was the best, best, best month ever and we all felt so healthy and alive just because we were with Josiah. The days started to get colder and Josiah was getting weak, so we went back home and he went to live with Jesus 16 days later. Tomorrow would have been his 25th birthday. This is the first year I realized he's not gone but he's with Jesus. I'm so thankful that when this life here is over I'll be able to see him again. I always thought he was gone forever but now that I know the Lord I understand he's not lost at all.

Do you know anyone that you had to say goodbye to and you know you'll see them again in heaven?

Thank you IainL! I think school is going more and more in that direction. Lots of kids around here are home schooled where their parents teach them or else they go to public school. When I graduate I would like to be a homeschool teacher. I don't know if I can legally have my own class of homeschoolers, but the parents can monitor their own children, give them work to do, and they will come to my home each day so I can help them learn the material. The parents around here don't always have a lot of time to help the children they're homeschooling. The kids have to try and struggle through it on their own. I'm thankful my online school has explanations for everything and that when I have a question I can just ask.
