Leave of Absence

I knew I was going to have to write up this post sooner or later, and well, that time has come.

I am taking a leave of absence from the internet for an extensive amount of time, I don't know how long at the moment. Due to my sister's cancer and several other things going on, I just can't keep up on everything anymore. The truth is, I was trying to find my fulfillment in blogging, socializing via the internet and entertainment because of the hardships at home, when I should have been seeking the Lord for his comfort.

I have all the Red Crisis posts scheduled to keep on going, so don't worry about that. ;) (They aren't edited, though, so forgive the mistakes you'll no doubt see.)

I just really need a break for a while. I will still come on once a week from time to time to reply to comments and see how everyone is doing, but my blogging schedule is going to be interrupted and I just need to get my life put back together. I need some time to seek the Lord, spend time with my family and just listen for God's direction on my life. I have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing right now.

Thank you all for being so understanding- I knew I could tell you this and you'd understand the struggles. :) I love and care for all of you, wonderful blog readers, and you have made a world of difference to me! I will be back sometime, but probably not blogging as regular as I was.


Thank you and God Bless!

With love,

Emily McConnell

    You'll be greatly missed around here, Emily. But, as much as I could without being in your shoes, I understand. Maybe more than you could ever know.
    God bless you all. You and your family will remain in my prayers and thoughts. :)

Polyushko Polye: A Song With a History

Image
I promised you all I would let you hear the real Russian song, Polyushko Polye, so here it is! in Crylic it's  Полюшкo Поле. Earlier I got a request from one of the readers for the sheet music because she couldn't find it online, so it you would like to find the sheet music you have to write in Russian полюшко поле ноты для пианино, which literally translates as "Field my field (or meadowland) notes to piano". You won't find the sheet music in English, but the notes are the same no matter what language you speak. ;D  I'd like it to be noted that this song has been around for a long  time now (1933) and since then it has gone through several spelling and name changes changes. So here are the lists of known names for this song.

It's About Time...For an Update!

Goodness I expected to blog so much more after I got married because I thought my life would slow down. Nope, I was wrong. XD Heelloooo blog readers! Long time no see! So, where to begin on updates? Right after our first kiss! Rifka and Lina! Lucas and I got married on February 2nd and have now been happily married for eight months to the day. We have moved once since we've gotten married and have acquired two new family members---Rifka our Karelian Bear Dog/Shetland Sheepdog mix and Lina, our crazy tri-colored tabby with far too much energy for a normal cat! Over the last eight months, I have been sick with the flu, mono, and countless colds and sinus infections but since seem to be on the rise with better health, a huge praise! Lucas was promoted at his job and is now a foreman, and enjoys making jokes about how unbearably hard and cruel of a foreman he is. (Lucas being bossy is the farthest thing from his personality as could be humanely possible.) Lu
