生命〔生活〕

"Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."

"Life is like a library owned by the author. In it are a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him."

"Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped."

"Obstacles are a natural part of life, just as boulders are a natural part of the course of the river. The river does not complain or get depressed because there are boulders in its path."

It sounds beautiful outside today!!!

The Angry Snowman

So.... what really happened Mr. Snowman?

Today was so much fun! First we built snowmen and all that usual stuff and then I took like 200+ pictures (no, not of the same thing!)... Then Clara, Josh Murphy, and I went and got Garrett, Courtney and Evan and we went sledding back behind our house and then had a snowball fight. It was pretty crazy... since Clara and I don't have older brothers we aren't used to tackling and we can't throw a snowball to save our lives but it was still fun. Then I tackled Clara and shoved her face in the snow and as soon as I turned my back she jumped on top of me and I twisted my ankle... haha, I guess thats what happens. It was SO much fun though! Then we came back to our house and had hot chocolate and sat around and talked...

Overall a pretty awesome day. =)

Good Morning Sunshine

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. -Psalm 5:3

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. - Psalm 90:14

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul. -Psalm 143:8

Girls
are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys dont want to reach
for the good ones because they're
afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they get the rotten apples
from the ground that arent as good,but easy.
So the apples up top think
something wrong with them when in
reality they're amazing.
They just have to wait
for the right boy to come along,
the one who's
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top

Happy February 1st! Yesss! the first of the month! it's such a relief, like letting out all your breath after holding it in for a long time. last month was such a crazy and weird month... as my sister puts it "july is gone forever, o wait! i mean january!"

4 more months of school! I'm torn between total happiness and freaking out. But the Lord is good, oh so good!

If you guys would pray for Renee and Nick Palmer, they are going on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic. I think they either went this week or are going really soon.

Yesterday I went to a friends art show, it was pretty cool. Then my sis and I went to starbucks to work on a History paper where we saw Phil, David, and Taylor! Pretty sweet =)
