Little Elizabeth


June 19, 1999

Yesterday I broke my foot. Let me tell you how it happened: I was running in clogs or as my mother says, "Barby Shoes," and it was raining, oh and by the way I was running in the rocks, well I fell in the rocks and broke my foot.

I would like to tell this journal that every day of my life I will have a Psalm in this journal. -

June 21, 1999
I am at Church very uncomfortable but God is here with me and I am so, so very glad of that. Here is a prayer that I will pray to God:
Dear God, I am very HOT and my foot feels tired, so do my eyes
but none of this matters because you want me to be happy all the time
but I cannot all the time be happy and I need Your help. So help me please.
Amen
LATER ON:

I sure do look really ugly with my foot in a BIG shoe (it was a foot brace) and crutches. So I cannot be very pretty for people. I have to be pretty for God.
God I am pretty for you!

THEN I THOUGHT I WOULD WRITE SOMETHING TO MY FUTURE CHILDREN:
June 22, 1999
I am a pastor's daughter and right now I am at Church.
Children I am on the third pew and writing all this to you.
I am writing this before I had any one of you. I am only 10 1/2 .
My prayer is that you would be godly.
Love your, Mother

June 23, 199
For some reason I am not writing in here at all much today. I count the days as they go by so that I can feel better about living because to me I have to be on crutches a long time . I tell people, "A good 30 days." As you know we are building a Great Room on to our house and I spend most of the day just sitting in a corner watching and waiting and reading but boy right now it is HOT for me. I guess I should not have worn my hair down. Well I have to get up and get some fresh air.

August 19, 1999
Yes, my foot is better. It was better by the end of July. I have not written in a month or loner. Mom took a picture of me and my good-old-pales ( crutches) and my handy BIG, FOOT, SHOE. I hope to get it here soon. Reading this brings back the good days...I mean the bad days of my broken foot.

LATER ON...

Children have I told you that your Grandmother on my side is expecting your Aunt or Uncle... Seth or Abby. That is all for now.

August 22, 1999
( 6 days before Abby was born)
At Church:
I am sitting with my friend Sarah, at church. I must take care of my little sister, as you know. Oh, I must take Hannah back to some place, she is too loud. ( No offense Hannah, you were only two)


August 25, 1999
(4 days before before Abby is born)
Baby- Doll Parade
  • Balloons (5)
  • Strollers
  • 4 Chocolate bars
  • Flowers
  • Pony Picture
  • Pink blanket
  • Tape
  • Baby things

August 29, 1999
Mom had her baby, Abby (that is her name) 5 min before midnight!!

Everything taken from my 10 year old journal, if I added today I put it in all capital letters. Love, Elizabeth
