an announcement

Hi girls! So, I guess I'd better just get to the point instead of being dramatic :)


I've decided to stop blogging. {But only indefinitely!}


The reason for this being:
I would like to get closer to God before I continue with writing here. I don't want to unintentionally lead you astray by something I write. These feelings are based on 1 Timothy 3. I first want to meet those qualifications before I try to "teach" you.
Another matter is these verses:
But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, this kind of talk spreads like cancer...
 ~ 2 Timothy 2:16-17
See that? I've been doing a lot of "empty chatter" on here. :P
Will you all please pray for me during this time?
I might be gone for a month, maybe 5... I truly don't know. As long as God tells me I need to have this break.


Don't worry, I'll still be reading you guy's blogs, commenting, and designing blog buttons :)
I love you all!

I'm BACK! :)

Hi! I am really sorry for my super long absence! As I think I mentioned, I was at my grandparents house. While we were there, we worked. :) I dusted, spread mulch, and was the official "what are we going to have for dinner" idea comer-upper {yeah....not a very technical name..} :)
                                                    It was da bomb. {hey, I entertain easily..}
Also, we went to the mall. I don't know how to communicate to you how going to a mall just fills me with dread.
~It's loud.
~There are waaay to many people than my comfort zone allows.
~There's always the possibility of meeting up with people I used to know...from 2nd grade :P I know, for some of you that would be a cause for celebration. But for me...I just find it slightly awkward. :P

Keeping all these things in mind, {okay maybe not the last one...it doesn't really have anything to do with what I'm about to tell you}read my...ahh... experience. :)

Okay, so we were looking for board shorts for me. {quick back story  info! I'm really modest when it comes to bathing suits. So I always wear board shorts over my bating suit [sometimes even a t-shirt, much to my mother's chagrin.] The only board shorts I will wear, though, are the ones that come to my knees. I even tried out guy's swimsuits, but they come mid-calf on my leg and are really baggy. And not to mention ugly. Wait, why did I say "not to mention"? That phrase confuses me. If it's not to mention, why mention it?!?! Ehh, whatever ;)} We checked all over the place {well, not all over...we skipped the lingerie stores, I'm sure it would have made my brother a bit uncomfortable} ;) We finally came to an un-named store with a really cool entrance. I didn't want to go in...it was different from my usual Macy's and Old Navy. But my mom practically dragged me in.

The moment we ducked through the door {I really am serious, the entry must've been made with 6 year olds in mind} I knew it was Hollister.  If all the seagull like silhouettes didn't tip me off, it was the twilight-like darkness and blaring music. As we weaved in between randomly placed tables and what seemed like 100s {probably only 30...} of teens, I inwardly cringed at the two biggest things I dislike about going to the mall crammed in just one store.  That's when I backed up into a girl about my age. She probably apologised about five times. O_O {all the while I was thinking "No, I'm sorry! It was my fault, you're okay!" but, struck by my annnoyingly inconvenient shyness, I just stood there. I gave her a kinda half-hearted smile and my mom apologized for me...thanks mom :) And to the girl I mowed over: Sorry for my clumsiness...and thanks for apologizing even though it wasn't your fault, that was nice of you. :)}

When we got back to my brothers and grandma sitting outside, I was almost hyper-ventilating. I declared to anybody would listen, "I'm never going back in there. Ever." to which my mom replied, "Oh, my dear, sheltered daughter..."

Bahahaha! Now you all know how sheltered I really am :) But I like it that way.

So, this month I probably won't be blogging too much more, but I'll get back to regular blogging in May...I'm kinda liking this break! :)

Sorry for not commenting on you guy's  people's blogs, but I'll try to get updated! :)

Hey peoples! 
Sorry I haven't been a very "good" blogger this week. :P And with the awkward apology put of the way {Aren't apologies always rather awkward? But we've gotta do 'em!} here's some Jesus love & randomness! :)

  • So, I've come up with a two year Bible reading plan. It's not even that  complicated!  {non-complicated things=happy me}The ones with different passages to read everyday just frustrate me. What I did is: I assigned 3 books of the Bible to each month {of this year} minus three, to which I assigned only two books. I'm doing pretty well, I'm even ahead! :)
  • Those conversations you have with God whilst doing the dishes <3
  • This  :)
  • Staying up late talking to God and reading the Bible 
  • The fact that God will forgive us of our dirty sins...because His Son has already taken the punishment we deserve!                          
jesus
those moments... <3
                                                      
  • But I trust in your unfailing love.       I will rejoice because you have rescued me. ~Psalm13:5
This song...it inspires me :)
God Girl~Jamie Grace

Have a lovely rest of the day! :)

PS: Will you promise me this?  Promise to pick up your Bible before you go to sleep tonight and just...read. Let it wash over you :)

Soo... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EMMA!!!
I hope your 13th year of life is absolutely wonderful and you grow more and more in the love of Christ! :)
'K, that's all! :)
Ehh, not really...
Here's just some random thoughts {because this is too short to just hit "publish"}:

  • So, wouldn't it be weird if you had a muscle spasm in you tongue?
  • I almost always spell "tongue" wrong, I rely on spell checker for that!
  • I was awarded...but I've been to lazy to finish the post. I'll try to get it up by Monday!
ANNNNND now for a random song!!!!!
So, have a happy regular day everyone, and to Emma, have a happy birthday. {am I the only one who thinks that makes no sense?}

So, everybody go over there and wish her a happy birthday! :)
