Fall Pictures

My Grandmother came to visit last weekend. We had not seen her in about 10 months.

Here are some fall pictures that I took. That light blue hump is a mountain.

I thought this was so cool!!

Our backyard! I found a new setting on my camera! The colors are so vivid!

An Open Letter to ALL Boys

*This is not meant to offend ANYBODY. This is just a JOKE. If you are a guy reading my blog PLEASE do NOT get offended* and considering boys have not confessed that they read my blog, I posted this. 


Dear wierd creepy stalker nerdy boys,

I am sorry that I may ignore you, but I have a some reasons.

1. You are too smart to be having a conversation with someone, much less a girl.
2. You are too tall for someone to even have a conversation with you, much less a girl.
3. You follow girls around so much that the only place they can go is the women's bathroom. That is sad!
4. You stare at them so much they actually have to hide behind their notebooks.
5. You are so observant that you ask several times where the girl is while your in class. (Go to #3 if you didn't get it the first time, please!)

  So, please just stop it!

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter!

*sigh*
*Highschool*

Girls, please tell me you have or have had this problem?!

Btw, just some boys are like this! No offense!

A Fun (Late) Night with Friends

Last night my friend texted me and ask if my brother and I could come over and play games with them. (She lives on the next street :) ).  At first, both my parents said no. But, after a round of Mario Kart and some convincing, my dad said yes!


We had a Fabulous time! We played Apples to Apples, hide and seek in the dark, traded animal braclets, and just had a good time! Sorry I don't have any pictures!!     :(      We were able to play 1 1/2 hours, though!!

I woke up mid-morning the next day because I was sooo tired.

Anyway, thats all I have to say! Have a good rest of the weekend!


Happy Fall, y'all!

Prayer

I came across this poem in my morning devotions and wanted to share it with you. It is so true!!

The Difference Prayer Makes

I got up early one morning

And rushed right into the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I didn't take time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,

And heavier came each task;

"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.

He answered: "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty--

But the day toiled on, gray and bleak;

I wondered why God didn't show me,

He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence,

I used all my keys at the lock;

God gently and lovingly chided:

"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning

And paused before entering the day;

I had so much to accomplish

That I had to take time to pray.

"Fail Us Not"

This is one of my favorite songs right now.

I can not find it on playlist, youtube, or tangle. So, when I do I will post it here.



"Fail Us Not"
by
1000 GENERATIONS:

"Failure doesn't phase you.
Worry doesn't win.
Lost doesn't leave you afraid to start again.
Our sin doesn't shock you.
Our shame doesn't shame you at all.
Mistakes do not move you.
Terror doesn't tame.
Death doesn't doom you to life in the grave.
Our suffering doesn't scare you.
Our secrets won't surprise you at all.
At all.

There is nothing above you.
There is nothing beyond you.
There is nothing that you can't do.
Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No matter the war, our hope is secure.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
You fail us not.

Hatred doesn't hide you.
Evil doesn't ail.
Despair can't disguise you and tell you that you fail.
Our doubt doesn't daunt you.
Our darkness won't defeat you at all.
At all.

There is nothing above you.
There is nothing beyond you.
There is nothing that you can't do.
Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No matter the war, our hope is secure.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
Whatever will come, we'll rise above.
You fail us not, You fail us not.
No, You fail us not.
You fail us not."

My breakfast one day. They served us watermelon and pineapple at every meal!

They were not "Mucho Nacho[s]" at all!
