easter happiness

hello, dear friends! i hope you're having a lovely Easter! we had a sunrise service/ breakfast that was a wonderful way to begin the day that celebrates that He is risen!

and on this day, i thought i'd share some things that made me laugh as i was reading some blogs...

check out this cake wreck -- the caption from the website says: "Here we have the inspiring tale of The Chick Who Took Down Four Bunny Bullies"

if you want to see more lovely wreckiness, go visit the cake wrecks blog....it's fantastic :)

and now, if you click here: baby chickens!! , you'll see some really, really cute chicks....with some stinkin' awesome names. i laughed for a long time. i'm still laughing :)

and i saw this tree while walking the other day. it's a little difficult to see, but it made me really happy. i hope it makes the person who decorated it just as happy.

and because it is Easter, here is one of my favorite songs:

I hear the Savior say, Thy strength indeed is small

Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.

Lord, now indeed I find Thy power and Thine alone,

Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow!

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete,

"Jesus died my soul to save" my lips shall still repeat

O Praise the One who paid my debt

And raised this life up from the dead

i do love that song :)

i hope you have a wonderful Easter, my loves!

A New Post

Y'all. I have been starting and stopping, erasing and re-writing, thinking and planning, and starting and stopping again for this post. I haven't posted since the beginning of December, and that was only a list of things I had to do for finals. Hardly note-worthy. Before that, I hadn't posted since September. Which, upon reflection, was also only a "here's what has happened in the last several weeks" post....since I hadn't updated since MAY. Clearly I'm very good at keeping up with this little blog. Probably because I'm fairly certain the only people who read this are also those that I actually update on the phone... Also, I think I've been avoiding writing anything serious for awhile because I didn't really want to think about it in such a way that would lead to a post. "It" being any number of things I've been thinking about for the last 6 months or so. Likely, another reason for this is because there are so many things ...

motivation!

i think you should know that as i was typing the title to this post, i was singing it to a made up tune in my head... i have two papers due next week. one massive one and one that won't be so difficult. this means however, that i have less than a week to finish both of them and that means that i cannot spend any time doing anything other than work, school, or writing/researching. but. i've developed this "fall break is almost here, i don't want to do anything important right now" mentality. which is curious since i'll be doing school stuff all during fall break simply to catch up and then get ahead a little. so tonight, as i am about to get started on my work, i made a "motivation sheet!" that i can look at when i want to give up: using that verse might be a bit of a stretch, since i doubt the writer was thinking about writing 20 pg papers when he said it, but it seemed to fit. it includes baking and crafting and spending time with people, of cours...

Over the Cliff

In the middle of Prince Caspian, there's a moment. Lucy has seen Aslan, but no one else has, and Aslan's told her she has to follow, whether anyone else does or not. Fortunately, they all agree to go with her. As the set off, she's the only one who can see Him, and she's leading everyone else. "He led them to the right of the dancing trees -- whether they were still dancing nobody knew, for Lucy had her eyes on the Lion and the rest had their eyes on Lucy -- and nearer the edge of the gorge...for a long way Aslan went along the top of the precipices. Then they came to a place where some little trees grew right on the edge. He turned and disappeared among them. Lucy held her breath, for it looked as if he had plunged over the cliff..." Recently, I feel as if I've been following Jesus and He's disappeared, plunged right over the cliff. ********************* Last fall, I began thinking about words for 2017. I love the idea of claimin...
