Saturday err Sunday's Scrawls - 4 -

1. I was awarded! Twice.

Eve over at Preparing for Battle: The thoughts and ramblings of one of His swordmaidens. tagged me with the Stylish Blogger award.  Rebecca over at Living for Christ: In all I do I'll honor Him tagged me with the Versatile Blogger award. Thanks so much girls!
Here are seven random somethings about myself...

2. Something I find hysterical.

Peanutopolis \pE-nut-ä-pu-lis\ (noun). A state of mind making you feel very strong and powerful, almost mayor-like.

hahaha!!! That's what my snickers wrapper just said... haha! =P just a bit hysterical!!

3. Something I just realized recently.

I can sing the Sixteen going on Seventeen song from The Sound of Music. How is that even possible?! Leisl seems so much older than I am for some reason...or else I just don't feel quite that old. =P

4. Something I just listened to.

Healer
by Kari Jobe

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need

You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease

I trust in You
I trust in You

I believe You're my healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus, You're all I need

Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You
Nothing is impossible for You

5. Something I love to drink.

Crystal Light Raspberry Lemonade. Best. ever. --that you can make at home that is. Chick-fil-a lemonade beats everything, but they aren't around where I live. tear. =,(

6. Something I long for.

Days like [this]

when I could go barefoot without having my toes turn purple.

Days of painted toenails, warm sunshine & laughter, soft breezes, sweet smoothies, cheerful flowers, ...I'm digressing...
Although, after snow flurries all this past week, I'm so very grateful for a sunny day in the 50's. =D

7. Something that made my week.

Getting a belated birthday present from a wonderful friend. Four months belated. That's AWESOME.

8. Something I've accomplished.

This is my 51st post on this blog. Yup. I've posted 50 posts! =P

9. Something I require.

Anyone who also longs for sumer days may take the Versatile Blogger Award and do the tag.
Anyone who found the Peanutopolis definition absolutely hysterical  may take the Stylish Blogger Award and do the tag.
 (If you do either or both tag(s), let me know by commenting! I'd love to read your answers.)

The supposed rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award.
2. Write seven things about yourself.
3. Pass on to seven other bloggers.
4. Tell the seven awardees of their award!
5. Be creative and have fun. (yes, I added this one. =P)

Have a wonderful weekend!

In Christ,

Saturday's Scrawls 3

1.) I got my purity ring back! (It was at the jewelers because the stone came loose.)  Let me tell you my hand was feeling very strange not having it for several weeks--and I had only had it for two months. =) (To read the story of my ring and a few more photos go [here]. =D)

This was it before I had it shipped away--it is much shinier now, they must have cleaned it! =P

2.) Prayer request. Please pray for my friend, Kara.  She is head of the barn staff at the camp where I worked last summer. This past week she was kicked in the face. She has 4 fractures on the right side of her face.  She is having surgery this Monday at 5pm. She has to have 2-3 plates put in.
She is staying strong through it all and recently posted Psalms 121:7-8:‎

"The LORD will protect you from harm; He will protect your life. The LORD will protect your coming and going both now and forever."

3.) BIC Velocity pencils--one word: awesomely amazing! Okay, that was two, but they really are awesomely amazing and amazingly awesome. =P
 
(now if only they would stop disappearing on me...do pencils ever disappear at your house? 'cause it is a very common, but terrible occurrence here...)



4.) Four Polyvore sets of mine from this past week =P

5.)

God of Wonders
by third day






Lord of Heaven and Earth
(Lord of all creation)
Lord of Heaven and Earth

Lord of all creation
Of the water, earth and sky
The Heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory To the Lord on high

God of wonders
Beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe
Declares your majesty
You are holy, holy

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And when I stumble into darkness
I will call your name by night

God of wonders
Beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe
Declares your majesty
You are holy, holy

Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)

Holy, holy
Holy, holy

God of wonders
Beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy

Precious Lord,
Reveal your heart to me
Father hold me, hold me

The Universe
Declares your majesty
You are Holy, Holy
Holy, Holy

Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)
Hallelujah (to the lord of heaven and earth)

Now I'd better get back to work...
Have a wonderful day!

Love in Christ,

Saturday's Scrawls 2

1.) I came across this quote and love it:

""Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." --C.S. Lewis

Pretty profound, huh? (he just told the truth! =P)

2.) My photo made it in the top five for Allie's Happy Monday photography challenge! =D

(you can go [here] to see the other finalists and vote for your favorite)

3.) Polyvore is just way too much fun =D


4.) A favorite verse of mine this week:

5.) I've got a fun new spring design for my photography blog in store--but not for this blog. =( So we'll just have to deal with the winter theme for a while more. (after all it is still snowing outside anyhow...)

sneak peak at the spring-y colors!

6.) I'd better get back to finishing up school--I'm rather behind this week....yuck.

7.) Oh and a special welcome to all the newest followers! =D

Love in Christ,

Saturday's Scrawls

It is cold. It is gray. There is freezing rain outside. Customers are gone.  I'm tired. An hour left before I can go home.  History essay yet to be written.  Algebra II yet to be solved.  PE yet to be done.  German yet to be learned.  Bathroom yet to be cleaned.  --but you know what?

Scrawl 1.)

I still have Hope. 

why you ask? because...

 You are always with me, Jesus

You know everything about me

You know when I wake and sleep

You know everything I’m thinking

You know all my secret deeds

You know every word I say

Long before I say it

You know everywhere I go

And all my ways

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

Where could I hide?

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

You never leave my side

If I flew away to heaven

Jesus, there I would find You

If I sank into the ocean

Jesus, You would be there too

Even in the darkest night

To You it’s bright as day

You have laid Your hand on me

It’s wonderful

  

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

Where could I hide?

You are always with me, Jesus

Where could I go?

You never leave my side

You Are Always with Me by Mark Altrogge from the Awesome God album

Thank you for always being with me, Jesus!

Scrawl 2.) a quote I came across this past week:

"You can't live for God until you learn how to live because of God. And you can't go and make good choices for God until you understand the gospel that says the choices you make don't make you who are, what Christ has done for you makes you who you are." Mike Donehey

Scrawl 3.) I discovered two websites this past week:

 pandora

Listen to up to 40 hours of music for free each month! =D You get to create stations based on songs or artists that you like. There are ads that show up every once in a while, but I have not come across any negative ones. You can also skip songs that you dislike and 'like' songs that you like so that it will play them again.  =)

polyvore

Find me on Polyvore

Does this have the possibility of becoming a time waster and a procrastinator's tool---yup! 

Have a spectacular Saturday, friends! 

Love in Christ,
