Happy Thanksgiving!

I know, a little early. But Better now than never! ;)

We'll be super busy these next few days(and weeks!), so I won't have time to be on the computer much at all. I just wanted to update a bit, real quick.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays out of all of them. And I got to think'n a few days ago-actually, this is something thats always been the obv.- This day is set apart for more then just silly super-bowl games and laughing and eating until we burst(Not that I ever do) like the world has made it out to be, its about remembering those who came to America and what they made this nation to be(or what it was) and what they came for- 'a better life', to worship Christ freely and being thankful for that. And giving thanks for everything.

Some of the things I am thankful for:
Being placed by God in a Godly home.
To have been homeschooled. haha
A roof over our heads.
My family.
My amazing friends.
To be able to worship Christ Jesus freely.
The Bible.
To be able to play the piano. If it weren't for my aunt, I'd never have discovered it.
Books. Because I love them.
And, music. And a lot lot more that I just can't think of, but I placed the most important. ;)

Like I said, we'll be busy here for the next few weeks. I have a GGCR coming up in two weeks!! Exciting! And the regular shabang that comes with the holidays. :)

Hope you all have a blessed week.

Verse~Psalm 107 ¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.

Random fact: God has blessed me with so many wonderful friends that we all are able to encourage each other and can just have a great time with, but if I had to choose a day with one or the other, it'd be my mom. Because she's the bestest friend anyone could have. And she always blesses me with tips on how to do things and teaches me how to be a great 'homemaker'. :)

Oh, Ill also be putting up a Christmas playlist in a few weeks. So, look for it. :)

God Bless

When writers give you books, read 'em! :)

With all do exceptions, of course!

I have been reading A LOT lately. And tho life never slows down, I find time.
Have any of you heard of the lamplighter book, The Wide Wide World? (there are two vlms.) That book(more like novel) was a good read! It took me two months to read it, but only because I was soooo busy. Usually only takes me two days to read a good sized book. I won't tell you what its about , or what happens (just encase you haven't read the book, but if you have, lets elaborate together:)) But what I will say is that this book really shows and teaches you how to deal with trials and losses and whom to go to when you are(God). its a really good book. I only cried once, but it was a satisfactory cry. haha!

Read "Seeing the invisible~Being aware of Gods presence" Uhm, can I just say that book was absolutely a blessing and soo good! By Mari Irwin.

Then I read A Walk To Remember.Emily let me barrow that one, I got it from her Tues. afternoon, and finished it last night(wed. the 3rd) She was so surprised to hear I had finished it so fast! haha it was just so good. Sad, happy, and at times made me so vexed, but in the end it was really good.

Working on Hines feet for high places and So Much More right now.
Rest your little hearts, I am reading my bible everyday more then my books aswell! ;)

And its that time of year again! I love the holidays, baking, social gatherings with all your loved ones, baking parties, thanksgiving, going up to the rim to pick out a Christmas tree, ornaments exchanges with family, AND friends. Remembering and esp, taking time to thank God for all the wonderful things He blesses us with in life. I just love it! :)

Well, I won't bore y'all anymore. Hope your all doing well.

Random Fact: I am absolutely obsessed with Kyle Landry's piano covers/songs he writes himself. I have printed off several of his songs to learn for myself! haha If your curious enough, here is link to his youtube....http://www.youtube.com/user/kylelandry

Verse:Ecclesiastes 10:12
"Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,
but a fool is consumed by his own lips."
