Lost in Love

All of these "Snow days" (ha- homeschoolers have school anyway so..) are driving me nuts! Everything I look forward too keeps getting canceled and it's pretty upsetting, not gonna lie! However, It does make for some pretty pictures, I just wish there was a least some snow! This post is mainly just a mash up of all the pictures I have recently taken. I obsess over pictures & photography is my favorite hobby. So not wanting to keep you any longer, here ya go! ice covered trees!! wish we would have had snow! pumpkin wanted some "camera time" ice is just so beautiful   Lyd wanted to be my model & it was snowing!! (Even though you can't see it, its the thought that counts right?) "how am I supposed to pose?" "take a pic of me jumping" she's so cute :) probably my favorite!  She has such a personality!  OH and I love to have "models" to practice taking pictures of, so if anyone ...

So as I continue on my Junior year (I still can't believe that I'm a junior!!!!) journey, I am trying to continually update my blog. On February 6, The Junior/Senior class had a fundraiser 50's Dance! It was So. Much. Fun.  Me & Savanah again! Tommy & I  The decorations for the dance were SO CUTE and overall was a big hit!!! On February 14, Valentines day, We had a bonfire. And by "we" I mean, Mary Cassidy, Briceton, Tommy, & I.  We had to take a selfie before-hand, of course! The Ladies & Gents pic of MC & HG feat. Briceton's truck. oh, just another pic of us... Yesterday, February 22... FBC youth went to Rock and Worship Road Show 2015 at the Lander's Center. We got to hear a few artist, then we had to leave because of the possible bad weather... it was kinda really disappointing, but at least we didn't go home in bad weather and were safe! God has a plan for everything~ We ha...

This past weekend (January 30-31, 2015) I went with a few close friends to Benton, AR to participate in Praizfest 2015. Going into this weekend I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into. I was honestly having bad feelings and was super nervous about going. It wasn't until my mom reminded me to grab my bible that I felt an odd sense of relief.  left to right; William, Me, Casey, Claire, Dodger, Levi, Tommy, Mary Cassidy, Briceton After a 3/4 hour drive (not really sure, we were having fun just hanging out together) we stopped for dinner, then we were off to the Church!  When they keep you waiting.... you play duck, duck, goose. ....unless you're lame, you sit and watch the others play duck, duck, goose. After our break, we went to the Sanctuary to listen to our speaker, Bill, for the weekend. He spoke on Matthew 4:18-22. (ESV) 18  While walking by  the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and...

Growing up in a “traditional” Baptist church I have heard many, many, many hymns in my life. I would have to say that my absolute favorite is # 613. The Servant song speaks to me and it somehow finds a way into my head and I will catch myself singing it quite often. The Servant Song Sister, let me be your servant. Let me be as Christ to you. Pray that I might have the grace To let you be my servant, too. We are pilgrims on a journey. We are brothers on the road. We are here to help each other Walk the mile and bear the load. I will hold the Christ-light for you In the night time of your fear. I will hold my hand out to you; Speak the peace you long to hear.   I will weep when you are weeping. When you laugh, I'll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow Till we've seen this journey through. When we sing to God in heaven, We shall find such harmony Born of all we've known together Of Christ's love and agony. I beli...

Happy New Year! May this be a year of winning, losing, learning, and moving on. I say this because in spite of our 'New Year resolutions', life happens. You have bad days, you lose friends, you grow spiritually weak. It happens to all of us at some point in life. The great thing is that even in our weakness, God is always there. He and His love never changes. Last night I had the opportunity to go to a bible study, and was blessed with some wonderful fellowship time with some very special girls! The Lord works in wonderful ways, and I believe that every time we open His word or gather together with other believers that there is a message to be heard from the Lord. Something that was said last night was clearly a message to me from the Lord. I know I probably won't quote this exactly but it goes kinda like this... "If your friends don't build you up, they're not your friends, they're your mission field." This above text means a lot to me! I have ...

you do you, girlfriend. These last few months I've learned some pretty important things about life. I've learned that life is short. I've also learned that there are people who won't like you no matter how nice you are to them. But, most importantly, I've learned how to make myself happy.  Not eh, "happy" with the sweet smile and small talk to everyone. But the real kind of happy. The good time, laughing-until-you-can't-breathe, becoming yourself, kind of happy. "Finding myself" has been a struggle. I know that no one is always in the best mood or has a great day every day.  (sorry mom & dad) But in all honesty, this new journey has been wonderful. I feel so free now.  This time a year ago if you were to ask me anything along the lines of: "What do you do in your free time?" "What are some of your hobbies?" "What do you like?" I would honestly seem like the most boring person ever. Go...

Oh, how I wished I lived in the 1930's! I just adore the fashion of the times before me. It all seemed so elegant, classy, and timeless. However, I am sure they had issues with modesty then too, because nothing is new. (at least, not to the Lord. Ecclesiastes 1:9)  These days, over and over, I believe that modesty is looked at as a list of do's and don't's. That, however is not the case.  I am involved in many bible studies and even my school work is bible based. When it comes to the topic of modesty we, as females, are targeted over and over. We're told to cover our shoulders and legs so no guy will stare at us. In all honesty, guys will stare at girls no matter what they're wearing. Modesty isn't for guys. Modesty is for ourselves. Modesty is an honor- it's a right we have as young ladies. For me, modesty is a wonderful thing. When I or someone else dresses modestly, it is not to "cover ourselves" from the world. It is a way of sh...
