Day 27: A physical feature I love.

I will have to go with Hannah on this one. I would say the eyes. They come in many different sizes shapes and colors. They tell you allot about the person, they express emotion, and lets face it, without your eyes how could you see anything?!?!?!?

Day 26: A childhood memory.

One of my favorite early childhood memories is of helping my grandpa feed his race horses when ever I was at his farm. I always loved it!!!! :)

Day 16: A song that makes me cry.

It's a sad and yet happy song.... And no I haven't cried over it, but when I think about the words and listen to the music it makes me feel like crying sometimes.

Day 15: A person or persons I admire.

I know this top photo looks funny but I love it!

I'm going to put two people!! My Mom and my Dad.

They have given up so much for me! Before I was even born, Dad gave up his dreams of being a commercial pilot, a plane he was building, and many other things. He is a hard worker, has an excellent reputation, and is always glad to help people out in whatever way he can. He is kind, thoughtful, extremely smart, and knows allot about many things.

Mom has given up allot for me and for Daddy. I know she makes mistakes but she is one of the best wives I have ever seen and a wonderful example. She can comfort a crying child, and is an excellent doctor. She's a cook, a professional cleaner, and an accountant. Hey, how many people can say that?!?!?!

I love both of them dearly and I know there is so much more I could say about them, but I'll just say this. I am so thankful that God gave my parents to me!!!!!

Valentine's Day

Today is valentines day! (As I'm sure ya'll are aware.) I know alot of single people don't like it because it reminds them of the fact that they are single. (Hence forth it's dubbed by some people"singles awareness day".) I personally love valentines day even though I don't have a special someone to share it with.

One thing I've been thinking about this Valentine's Day is that there is One that made the ultimate sacrifice for me that nobody else could. He paid for my sins on the cross so that one day I can be with Him. Beat that!!! Nobody can. So, even though you may not have a special some one to share this day with right now, just remember that The Lord Jesus Christ loved you so much that He gave his life to die for your sins on the cross that you might live. If that's not true love I don't know what is. He's the only One that can fill that place in your heart that no one else can. And remember, He probably has someone special for you out there and He'll work that out in His own timing.

Happy Valentine's Day

everybody!!!!

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Day 14: A vacation I would like to take.

Italy!!!

The city and the countryside.

Day 13: A guilty pleasure.

Chocolate Milk Shakes

I feel guilty drinking them because of the calories, but it's totally worth it!

Day 12: A song that I want played at my wedding.

I really love this song and think it would be terrific for the lighting of the unity candle. I think I would leave the second language out though.

Day 8: A thank you letter to someone who has changed my life.

Wow!!! This is a hard and yet easy one!

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for sending your Son to die on the cross for me when I was and am undeserving. Thank you for opening my eyes when I was so blinded by sin and for saving my soul. And for still loving me when I stray from your path and am ungrateful for your love. Words can not tell how grateful and in debt I am to you. So all I can say is Thank You!

Day 7: Five things I couldn't possibly live without.

It's amazing how many things you can think of when your asked this question. So I have decided to put the 5 things I know I couldn't live with out and then 5 things I think I couldn't live without.

The 5 things I know I couldn't live without:

1: God in three persons.

2: Oxygen

3: Water

4: Food

5: The Bible

5 things I think I couldn't live with out:

1: My great family and friends (include your self in that.)

2: Chocolate

3: Vanilla

4: Showers

5: My "Cato" skirts.

Of course there's lots more things I could think of but I'll leave it at that!

Day 6: A moment you wish you could relive.

.... So I'm not keeping up with the thirty day challenge but I'm trying too. Here is day six. LATE!

I'm sure there are some moments I wish I could relive and do differently. But I've heard many wise elder people say that if they could relive there life they wouldn't change a thing even though they had made mistakes and suffered allot of pain. The best thing in life is to learn from you're mistakes and move on. And remember, God is in control of your life.

So, with all that said, and since I cannot relive those moments and change them, why wish?!?!?!
