God Help Us
 
  My heart broke when I heard the news. How could someone be so heartless?  How could you do something like this? How could you take away a child's life, their future?  I just don't understand it.

  I am struggling to put into words what I'm feeling, because of all the emotions I feel when I think about it.  I hate hearing about it.  I hate listening to it.  It is so all awful.  When they released the names, and then the pictures.  Looking at their sweet faces...  I couldn't, and still can't, comprehend how someone could do such a thing.

"Cast all your burdens to the Lord, He will sustain you." - Psalm 55:22
 
 So much is wrong with this world.  I'm terrified for our future.  We've turned to violence instead of God.  And this is the result. 
 
"Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all." - 2 Thessalonians 3:16

  God help us, for this is our cry.

things that say a lot about people:

7:39 PM 0
things that say a lot about people:

  • the way which they treat the waiter/waitress
I like to come off as polite, but I have a naturally shy nature when it comes to people I am not familiar with. I am usually more on the quiet side with new people.

  • how they feel about the weather
I have to admit that my view on the weather changes daily. It usually depends on my mood. But if  had to choose I would pick when you are at the beach and the sun is setting, and it's the perfect temperature with a slight breeze.

  • whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books 
I actually do dog ear my books, because I don't want to lose my spot! I get so sucked into my books, I can't stand the though of losing my place.

  • fingernails 
My fingernails do what they want. They're never painted because they always chip off. And my length is pretty medium.  Not too long, not too short.

  • and hands in general
My hands aren't soft, but they're not rough either. Somewhere in between I guess.  But I do have realllly long fingers

  • their preferred creative outlet
Singing and music. Definitely.

  • how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
I am awful at talking on the phone. Seriously, it's awful.

  • whether or not they drink coffee
Why yes, I do drink coffee.  And I like it black with some sugar.

  • if they ever forget to eat
Hahahaa no. I'm always eating, and get teased about it occasionally. What can I say? I love food.

  • how honest they are with themselves (and others)
I would like to say I'm pretty honest with myself. I can usually figure out what I'm feeling, but my problem is putting it into words. That's usually where music comes in...

  • if they correct your grammar
I don't usually correct other people's grammar, but I'm very strict about mine. Unless I'm talking to my bestfriend!

  • and whether or not they get nervous before haircuts
Yes and no. I usually like to do something drastic to my hair so that's why I get nervous.

You Better Watch Out!



  It's that time once again!  I absolutely love the holidays.  It really is the most wonderful time of the year.  So, of course to prolong the holiday feel I had to break out all the decorations and music out early, right?  Of course!  It's never too early for Christmas.

One Of Those Times

One Of Those Times












 These are my little brothers.  And they're kinda adorable sometimes.  And sometimes we fight and fuss, but I still adore and love them.  Especially when they blow sweet little kisses to the camera.

  And sometimes I have to bribe them with pancakes for breakfast so they'll let me take their pictures.

  This was one of those times.

Happy October

Happy October
"But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?"














Y'all, it's October.

Just let that sink in for a minute.

On the bright side, Halloween will be here soon.  Which means free chocolate!  Also the leaves have started to change, and things are starting to smell like pumpkin.  It's cold enough to wear jeans, and on a good day, boots!  Plus it's coffee season.

And to kick off this brand new month, I have a brand new design.  I figured it was time for something fresh.  It will be up soon, so check back soon!
