Day 10-Something you're afraid of
Well this is a pretty easy one....I'm afraid of the dark for the most part especially when I am alone. If I have other people around me I'm fine but my mind starts to deceive me and I freak myself out...it's silly I know! However when I do go to sleep I have to have my room pitch black...any kind of light keeps me up for a while. I don't get it but that's how it is.
I'm also afraid of spiders and snakes..they creep me out!
Well that is all for now...till next time!

Day 8 of Blog Challenge
Day 8-A place you've traveled to
I have so many places I could choose from but I think I will talk about my mission trips to the Philippines. I have never felt more close to the Lord in all my life as I felt when I was there doing mission work! Our main purpose was to share the gospel.
We fly from Detroit to Japan and then to Manila, Philippines. It takes about 20ish hours to get there...my best friend is usually dramamine or some other sleeping medicine to help the time past quicker.
Here is a note I wrote from the Philippines: this was from March 2008
Hello everyone! I miss you all very much! Some of you don't know why I am in the Philippines so here is an update....for three weeks I will be in the Philippines doing medical mission work with my church...that is the area that I will be involved with....we also hold tent revivals, marriage conference, school ministries, pastor conferences, jail ministries, and many other ministries but those are just to name a few....
We have held two medical clinics so far one in Manila at Pastor Israel Flores' church and we saw 200 people praise the Lord! Then the other clinic was in Tuguegarao City at Pastor Richard Bitun's church which we saw 419 people and there were 160 decisons made for the Lord...it was absolutely amazing!
I am about halfway done with the trip...the next couple of days we will be holding the tent revivals in Bacolod and we will have medical clinics before the tent revival for the next three days....please pray for strength for the group we will be very busy and a lot of us have been sick. Pray for many souls to come to know the Lord and that the tent revivals would be very successful!
I have to get going but I wanted to let everyone that we are safe and we are in La Carlota City on the island of Negros and we are staying at the Mission Home. I probably won't be able to update this again so pray for our flight home on March 19! We hopefully will be getting in the morning so it should be nice! I miss everyone very much especially Nate! I love you sweetheart!
Talk to everyone soon!
Love, Emileigh
The first time I ever went there was an amazing once in a life time experience. When we first got there and were driving to the Mission Home in La Carlota City, I could not believe the living conditions! I was truly shocked...I had seen pictures but it is a whole different realization when you see it first hand! It was so devastating it made me cry. I just could not help to think how good we have it in the US. We have so much stuff that we just waste our money on...it was a great eye-opener to help me remember what is important in the world...not materialistic stuff but sharing the gospel....I hope that I will keep that in the forefront of my mind...it is hard once I got back because it was culture shock. But now that it has been a few years I feel like I have slipped back into a more materialistic mind set. It is disappointing but I know I am doing what God has for me right now...and that is to be the best mom and wife I can be. I need to provide for my family...food & clothing and I need to be frugal and make sure I am spending the money he has entrusted to us wisely...thank the Lord for the homemade cleaners, great sales on clothes and coupons! I feel this is the way I am frugal.
I will write more later....today we are celebrating my husbands birthday so I need to get stuff around...but I have so much more I would love to share about the missions trips I've been on!
That's all for now...till next time!

Day 5 of Blog Challenge
Hey all! Well no baby yet so the blogging continues!
Day 5-Your siblings
This is an interesting topic also! I have 1 brother Nick and 2 half brothers Patrick and Derrick.
Nick: My big brother...the one who tortured me when we were growing up :D He is a great guy and I am happy he is my brother. He is 18 months older than me and is single. He loves to have a good time doing whatever. One of my favorite memories of him is when we were little. He would be across the room and would walk real slow up to me with his hands in tickle mode and just tickle me till I almost peed my pants...I think I did on a couple occasions because he wouldn't stop...haha! Till this day if he does this...I start laughing while he is across the room! I can't stop.
Patrick: Well I don't have much to say about him because I have never met him. I would like to meet him someday but I think for now I will just wait. I'm curious about him though. I found out about him when I was I think 10 or 11. I was at my aunts house for a week and she asked me how Patrick was doing...I said,"Who is Patrick?" She knew right then she did an OOPS! then called my mom and then she sat me down and explained to me that he was my brother. I was very confused because I knew nothing about him. Well from what I have gathered is that my dad had an affair and Patrick was the result. I know that his mom got married and the man that married her adopted him. My dad gave up all rights to him but he is still a blood relative and I know that the Belcher gene is a very dominant gene so I am curious also to know what he looks like.
Derrick: My little brother. I'm 12 years older than him. He lives with his mom in Owosso and I don't see him all that often. We connect every once in a while on Facebook and over the phone but it is a little more difficult to see him. He is currently in 8th grade. He is very tall and slender. I don't really know his personality all that much but I know that he considers me his favorite sister :D He would always come up to me and give me a big hug and tell me he loves me! He is a good kid. He is also much taller than me (he gets that from his mom)
Well that is all for now...till next time!

Day 4 of Blog Challenge
Well today's blog challenge post is going to be interesting!
Day 4-Your parents
I love my parents very much. I don't have 2 but 3. I have a mom & stepdad and dad. I include my stepdad as my parent because he embodies everything a parent is....even though we aren't blood related.
My parents got a divorce when I was in second grade and it was pretty hard for me. After that things really changed in my "world". I got to see my dad every other weekend and at holidays it would rotate every year. It was okay. When I was in fifth grade I hadn't talked or seen my dad in a while and out of the blue I finally reconnect with him only to find out he got remarried and I now have a stepsister and two stepbrothers...that was really difficult! I wasn't even there to meet them or give my opinion of these people who I now call family! Well they were married for 10 to 12 years..I can't remember but I did get something really good out of it...I have a half brother Derrick whom I wish I was closer to but I am grateful that he is here today.
My mom and I are very close...we are a lot a like but our taste in fashion varies quite a bit. My mom is very creative...she makes the most beautiful scrapbooks and I always look forward to seeing what she has done. We like to work out together when I am able to...once this baby is here...goodbye baby fat...hello old jeans! She encourages me to be the best mom and wife I can be. I am super thankful for this...oh...and she loves our little Natte as she likes to call her. Nataleigh loves her Nana. My mom is a nurse and is a very good one! While we don't have a lot in common in faith she always listens to what I have to say and is respectful of the place our family chooses to worship...for this I am super thankful! I know God gave me the mom he wanted me to have and I wouldn't want anyone else!
My stepdad has been family for a while even though he and my mom have only been married for a little over 3 years. He remembers my birthday and always remembers to call me or attempt to see me that day....extremely important to me...my dad usually forgets...so Dave makes up for that and it always brings tears to my eyes...I am thankful God placed him in my life. He is also an AWESOME cook! He is very interested in hunting and whatever his kill is he always prepares it so well and it always tastes so yummy! We get along very well. We have a lot in common...we both love sports and would often hang out on a Saturday afternoon and watch Michigan play football and have a lot of fun!
Well that is just a little tidbit of info about my parents. There are so many things I love about them and it would be an extremely long post...but these are some of the things I love about them!
That is all for now...till next time!
