Tuesday's Thrills!

      I came up with a name for Tuesdays! Explanation: I love using the saying "thrilled to bits!" This past Sunday, I used that particular saying when teaching children's church. The kids had never heard it so I had to explain... have you ever been so happy, so excited about something that you felt like you were going to burst into a billion tiny pieces? I have, for sure! Thrilled to bits!

      Well, now that I rambled about that for a while, onto the Tuesday Thrills! I was able to babysit our pastor's daughter this morning for a few hours before going to work. They adopted her from China last year and she is such a blessing! Princess Mia!

Watching Cinderella!

This little girl is so precious! Her two favorite songs are Jesus Loves Me and I Have the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in my Heart! And what little girl doesn't love princesses!

She was my thrill today... this adorable little darling is a gift from God.


Blessings!

PS- I didn't have a chance to upload Dad's birthday pictures yet. I will soon!

God is right here...

Hey!
I haven't posted like I hoped last week! So sorry! Life gets crazy real quick...

Just something quick... I've learned this past week that distance doesn't separate us from God. He's right then when you ask Him. Isn't that awesome? Simple, yet we often find it super hard to understand. Thank God that He is patient with us!

Blessings,

2013!

Greetings! We are already into the second month of 2013! I feel like so much has happened since I last posted!

The new year started out well- friends and family all around! My work schedule has changed very much with lots of different hours. Sometimes it's hard for me to remember where I am supposed to be on that particular day and time! But such is the life of a young adult.

In regards to school- I passed my science DSST test (Environment and Humanity) at the end of January! I would have like a slightly higher score, but I passed and so I was not going to complain at all! God is so good. That test was a breaking point for me. I'll explain later on.

I have now started American Literature. I had taken this test over a year ago, but I needed to pick another test to begin studying and this one looked, once again, fascinating. I have recently fallen back into reading again. I know! I have always loved reading, but life gets in the way and I forgot the feeling of sitting up late at night, curled under the covers with a good book! I am currently reading six (!) different books right now! Some of them are Jane Eyre, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Sons and Lovers, and The Beechers. Some of these I have read but I forgot how good they are. And besides all of this, there is nothing like the smell of a book.

In other news, I have made some important decisions. I am studying Journalism in the hopes of working for a magazine or newspaper. Television isn't my thing. But I will, ultimately, become a writer. It's always been something I like to do. But, quite honestly, I need to write. I don't want to write sometimes, but I force myself because if I don't, I feel like I'm suffocating. I'm drowning. It's my "therapy" if you will.

Okay, enough about that. Aside from my two jobs, church, school, and other miscellaneous things, I've been busy this year so far! But it's been a good busy. I am looking forward to new things, new experiences, starting new friendships, etc, this year! (I'm also giving the blog a "facelift.")

Blessings in 2013!
