God's Angel (Part Seven)

Part Seven

I guess I will sum this story up by saying that God is still good. He understands better than anyone. He is still God and He is still in control. And He is still working. I don’t think He’s done with this story. I found this verse recently and I actually posted it as a status on facebook.

>>>Habakkuk 1:5

"Look among the nations, and see;

wonder and be astounded.

For I am doing a work in your days

that you would not believe if told.”

I don’t think God is done with this story yet. I don’t know what He’s going to do or what He is doing. I know He’s doing so much in my heart. I hope He can use this for His glory in someone else’s life.

I went to visit Appalachian Bible College recently and heard this song. It brought back everything. The memories flooded and I was overwhelmed. Blessed be the Lord.

“Blessed be the Name of the Lord” by Matt Redman

Blessed Be Your Name

In the land that is plentiful

Where Your streams of abundance flow

Blessed be Your name

Blessed Be Your name

When I'm found in the desert place

Though I walk through the wilderness

Blessed Be Your name

Every blessing You pour out

I'll turn back to praise

When the darkness closes in, Lord

Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name

When the sun's shining down on me

When the world's 'all as it should be'

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name

On the road marked with suffering

Though there's pain in the offering

Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out

I'll turn back to praise

When the darkness closes in, Lord

Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord

Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away

You give and take away

My heart will choose to say

Lord, blessed be Your name

I’d like to say that I am thankful for God’s mercy and patience, because He has got to be sick of hearing about my problems by now. I’m sure there have been many times God has slapped His forehead when I talk to Him because I am being so stubborn or so dense. (Haha, if God slaps His forehead) But I thank Him for His mercy that is in the heavens and His faithfulness that reaches the clouds (Psalm 36:5). I am so thankful for Psalm 103:11-12 –“ ¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; ¹² As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.” I’m just gonna say that if I were God, I’d be sick to death of me. I’d have given up on me.

To conclude, I’m going to post a passage from Lamentations that has been a major help to me. It has been a source of strength and an amazing encouragement. To God be all the glory.

>>>Lamentations 3:1-41

“ ¹ I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.
² He has led me and made me walk
In darkness and not in light.
³ Surely He has turned His hand against me
Time and time again throughout the day.
⁴ He has aged my flesh and my skin,
And broken my bones.
⁵ He has besieged me
And surrounded me with bitterness and woe.
⁶ He has set me in dark places
Like the dead of long ago.
⁷ He has hedged me in so that I cannot get out;
He has made my chain heavy.
⁸ Even when I cry and shout,
He shuts out my prayer.
⁹ He has blocked my ways with hewn stone;
He has made my paths crooked.
¹⁰ He has been to me a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in ambush.
¹¹ He has turned aside my ways and torn me in pieces;
He has made me desolate.
¹² He has bent His bow
And set me up as a target for the arrow.
¹³ He has caused the arrows of His quiver
To pierce my loins.
¹⁴ I have become the ridicule of all my people—
Their taunting song all the day.
¹⁵ He has filled me with bitterness,
He has made me drink wormwood.
¹⁶ He has also broken my teeth with gravel,
And covered me with ashes.
¹⁷ You have moved my soul far from peace;
I have forgotten prosperity.
¹⁸ And I said, “My strength and my hope
Have perished from the LORD.”
¹⁹ Remember my affliction and roaming,
The wormwood and the gall.
²⁰ My soul still remembers
And sinks within me.
²¹ This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have hope.
²² Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
²³ They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
²⁴ “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,

“ Therefore I hope in Him!”
²⁵ The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
²⁶ It is good that one should hope and wait quietly
For the salvation of the LORD.
²⁷ It is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.
²⁸ Let him sit alone and keep silent,
Because God has laid it on him;
²⁹ Let him put his mouth in the dust—
There may yet be hope.
³⁰ Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,
And be full of reproach.
³¹ For the Lord will not cast off forever.
³² Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.
³³ For He does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men.
³⁴ To crush under one’s feet
All the prisoners of the earth,
³⁵ To turn aside the justice due a man
Before the face of the Most High,
³⁶ Or subvert a man in his cause—
The Lord does not approve.
³⁷ Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass,
When the Lord has not commanded it?
³⁸ Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
That woe and well-being proceed?
³⁹ Why should a living man complain,
A man for the punishment of his sins?
⁴⁰ Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the LORD;
⁴¹ Let us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven.”

Verses

Habakkuk 2:3-4

"For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith."


Habakkuk 3:17-19

"Though the fig tree may not blossom,
Nor fruit be on the vines;
Though the labor of the olive may fail,
And the fields yield no food;
Though the flock may be cut off from the fold,
And there be no herd in the stalls—
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will joy in the God of my salvation.
The LORD God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills."

God's Angel (Part Six)

Part Six

This is not going to be a fantastic ending, because I still don’t have any answers. But I’m going to end with some verses and quotes that will I think will give you hope. First, one of my favorite passages.

>>>Psalm 62:5-8

“⁵ My soul, wait silently for God alone,

For my expectation is from Him.

⁶ He only is my rock and my salvation;

He is my defense;

I shall not be moved.

⁷ In God is my salvation and my glory;

The rock of my strength,

And my refuge, is in God.

⁸ Trust in Him at all times, you people;

Pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us. Selah”

I love this passage because it reminds me to talk to God, and to not be afraid to tell Him the little things that are bothering me that no one else cares about. Next are a few passages about hope.

>>>Romans 8:24-25

“²⁴ For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? ²⁵ But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”

>>>Romans 5:1-5

“¹ Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, ² through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. ³ And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; ⁴ and perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

>>>Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

>>>Psalm 33:11

“The counsel of the LORD stands forever,

The plans of His heart to all generations.”

>>>Psalm 33:17-18

¹⁷ “A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
¹⁸ Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,”

>>>Romans 12:12

“…rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;”

>>>Psalm 119:50

“This is my comfort in my affliction,

For Your word has given me life.”

>>>Psalm 42:5

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.”

>>>Psalm 71:14

“But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.”

>>>Job 11:18

“And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.”

>>>Hebrews 6:19

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;”

>>>Ecclesiastes 9:4a

“For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope…”

>>>Hebrews 10:23

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

>>>Psalm 71:5

“For You are my hope, O Lord GOD;

You are my trust from my youth.”

Reading the above verses, the first thing I think I need to realize is that true hope is from God. God gives me hope. I am void of true hope-hopeless-without Him. I also think I need to realize that true hope is in God. You know something cool? When you place your hope in God, you’ll never be disappointed. I’m not saying that if you ask God for something you want, that He’s going to necessarily give it to you (You’d better re-read this whole story if you think that). But we have a “hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,” (Hebrews 6:19). This hope that is spoken of is the hope of our Salvation. We are secure in God’s Salvation. We’ll never lose it.

Here are a couple of passages that I would like to share about comfort.

>>>Isaiah 51:3

“For the LORD will comfort Zion,

He will comfort all her waste places;

He will make her wilderness like Eden,

And her desert like the garden of the LORD;

Joy and gladness will be found in it,

Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.”

>>>2 Corinthians 1:3-10

“³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, ⁴ who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ⁵For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. ⁶If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer. ⁷Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in our comfort. ⁸For we do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. ⁹Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. ¹⁰ He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On Him we have set our hope that He will deliver us again.”

>>>2 Kings 20:5

“Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.”

>>>Psalm 119:71

“It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.”

>>>Isaiah 40:11

“He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.”

>>>Isaiah 46:4

“And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

Matthew 11:28-29

“ ²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.”

Maybe this story isn’t meant to be about understanding. Maybe it’s not about knowing why. Maybe I really will never know why God brought this into my life. Maybe this is something that God can use in someone else’ s life. This is what I’d like to be able to say-

“It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.” (Psalm 119:71)

God's still working

Habakkuk 1:1-5
¹ The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.

² O LORD, how long shall I cry,
And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, “Violence!”
And You will not save.
³ Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
⁴ Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.

⁵ “ Look among the nations and watch—
Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days
Which you would not believe, though it were told you..."

Some verses that really hit me

(All are KJV)

(I especially was hit by the first one)

Psalm 119:71
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

Psalm 119:82
Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

Psalm 119:111
Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Psalm 119:116
Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

A passage from my Bible reading this morning

I just thought I'd share a thought provoking passage from my Bible reading this morning.

The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: "Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words." So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do. Then the word of the LORD came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the LORD. Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

91. The smell of fall.
92. Tiny grass shoots in the fall.
93. God's generosity.
94. Psalms.
95. Children who keep adults thinking.
96. Music.
97. Photography.
98. Sunlight in windows.
99. God's omnipresence.
100. That God always listens.

Okay. Yeah. I'm slow.

But I just got this.

1 John 2:1-2

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

²And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

"Advocate" means "one who pleads for the cause of another."

How could Jesus do that for me?

Day 2

Thank you, Lord for:


11. Bible time over a beautiful mountain sunrise.
12. Cool weather (and heat running inside, of course).
13. Warm weather (and a/c inside).
14. My Mom's willingness to take me to riding lessons.
15. Breezy weather.
16. The gift of horses and everything that comes with them.
17. Orange juice.
18. Our cocker spaniels (sometimes). (lol)
19. My not-yet-complete grooming kit.
20. God's mercy is new every morning.

Being thankful

No, it's not thanksgiving yet, but that's the point. God has shown me recently that I have not been very thankful at all for what I have. I have been concentrating on what I don't have. So I am going to try to think of the good things. Every day for the next two weeks, I am going to post ten different things I am thankful for. I am going to thank God for them and get a more grateful attitude. Who knows, maybe I'll keep posting more things after two weeks...I might get addicted. =)

For those of you who care, at ten different things a day, that's 140 things to be thankful for in just two weeks.

I challenge anyone who reads this to do the same. It's not an order, but if you think you would have fun and find new things to be thankful for, I say go for it. Maybe God will use my lists to help others, too.

Here are some verses to go with this (all are KJV).

1 Chronicles 16:8

Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

Psalm 92:1-2

IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:

²To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

1 Chronicles 16:3

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm 30:4

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 105:1

give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

Okay, there are a TON more, but those are a few of them.


So here's list number one.


Thank you Lord for:


1. My Savior who died on the Cross to pay for my sin willingly because He loved me.
2. Freedom to read my Bible and worship in church in America.
3. A God who is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. (*Psalm 103:8)
4. A God who loves me when I'm obeying Him and when I'm not.
5. A God who always willingly forgives.
6. My Dad and all that he does.
7. My Mom and how much she does, in spite of no one noticing.
8. My brothers and sisters.
9. A roof over my head.
10. Clothes to wear.

Mourning into Joy.

Jeremiah 31:13

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

Verses for the Season

(All KJV)

2 Corinthians 12: 7-10

⁷And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.

⁸For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

⁹And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

¹⁰Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I don't know why, but the fact that Paul asks God three times that his trial might "depart from him" seems significant...

1 Peter 4:12-13

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

¹³But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

Hebrews 4:15-16

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

¹⁶Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Isaiah 46:4

Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

A few verses and some pictures of my last day at the barn

I had such a blast on Friday at the barn. I helped out with the group that came out and I rode for a little while. I actually took Rocky over the six-inch jump. He LOVES jumping! I had so much fun. I was hot when I was done and so while I was waiting for the kids to come and help groom Rocky, I got a drink of Dr. Pepper. Of course, I had to share it with him. I think he got more of it than I did (see picture below)! I had so much fun and I only wish that it wasn't goodbye. I have always had such a blast and I don't know what I would have done without my time at the barn. God really blessed me with all of these awesome people and horses. I will never forget them. They have been the best part of my life (not including God) and I wouldn't trade one second I had with them for anything. I love them so much!

Micah 7:18-19

18 Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

¹⁹He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Doesn't this look so peaceful?

My goofy boyfriend wanted my Dr. Pepper. I think he got more of it than I did! (In case you couldn't tell, this was supposed to be a picture of me and my riding teacher!!)

Psalm 51:16-17

¹⁶ For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You do not delight in burnt offering.

¹⁷ The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit,
A broken and a contrite heart—
These, O God, You will not despise.

Also, this is my Rocky with his leaser. He loves her and she is so awesome. =)

Check here for more pictures of my last day at the barn.

A realization...

I'm not sure what made me think of it, but this morning a thought hit me.

Jesus will never leave me.

I have always known that. But so often I forget it. The thought I had though, is that because of my sin, God couldn't even look upon me. But because I have given it to Jesus, He can.

He won't forsake me because Jesus took that on Himself already.


Mark 15:34

"And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"



I cannot even imagine the loneliness Jesus experienced when He was on the cross. I have been lonely. But I am positive, it has not been so deep or so heart-wrenching as the loneliness Jesus experienced. When God left Him. I am so glad that I never have to experience such depth of loneliness. Such agony. I can't even describe how I imagine it. But I never have to experience that feeling because of Him. He took it on Himself. The scary part is that God only turned away because of my sin. It wasn't even Jesus' fault.


I am praising God for this. This is one thing in and of itself that makes me realize just how much God has done for me.


Thank You, Lord.

Proverbs 3:5-6

⁵Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Though others forget....

<sup>Isaiah 49:14-16


14</sup> But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me,
And my Lord has forgotten me.”
¹⁵ “ Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
¹⁶ See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.



I have known this promise since I was small. Why have I forgotten it? The Lord showed me this this morning. I love the part "Surely, they may forget, yet I will not forget you."




As some teenagers say, "God rocks."

Psalm 121

¹ I will lift up my eyes to the hills—
From whence comes my help?
² My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.

³ He will not allow your foot to be moved;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
⁴ Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade at your right hand.
⁶ The sun shall not strike you by day,
Nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD shall preserve you from all evil;
He shall preserve your soul.
⁸ The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in
From this time forth, and even forevermore.

Psalm 77/At the foot of the Cross

Psalm 77

1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.

10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.





At the Foot of the Cross-Tammy Trent

At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me your love
Through the judgement you received
And you've won my heart
Yes you've won my heart
Now I can

Chorus:
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death you bore for me
And you've won my heart
Yes you've won my heart
Now I can

Chorus:
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross

Ramblings on a grey Monday afternoon

Hmm...well, it's turned grey outside again. For some reason, I'm not too upset by the grey today. It's consistent with my mood, though. It seems nice, today. Earlier, it was nice and sunny. I took my dog on a wonderful walk outside and talked to God...

...I'm ready to go riding this weekend...which my Mom said "yes" to and I am sooo excited. I hope my riding teacher isn't too busy...

...I can't wait for my sis to come home 'cause we're gonna do lots of cooking/baking. She wants to come and try new recipes with me and my Mom. =) ...

...Doctors appointment this week...

...Revelation 21:4 is an awesome verse...

...I might be going ice skating for the first time ever in a couple of weeks...

....That's about all I can think of for now. Considering I didn't have a clue what to post, this is pretty good. =P

Just a couple of pictures from today

My Christmas present from my sis...not quite the effect I had in mind, but...

Okay...I know very random, but I liked it...peppermint lotion, just for the record.

I came up with the windowsill idea, but this wasn't exactly what I had envisioned.

This was a redo of the light coming in on the Bible(see this post). I liked this one much better.

This was a chance shot.

Messing around with the cold window. That's my boyfriend's first initial(hopefully you can see it). =D
