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!

happy new year! and....a quarter of a century

happy new year, my friends! i hope you celebrated in a fun way and were with people you love :) i was able to see some friends i never get to see new year's eve...and then was back at my parents' house by around 10:15...and was in bed by 11:30.... i did not stay awake to welcome in 2010, but i'm ok with that :) in other news, i'll be a quarter of a century old in a week. 25... i'm not one to freak out about my age (at least not yet) but 25 is a good year, i think. and in honor of my turning 25, i've decided to make lists of 25. because it'll be fun, and who doesn't love a good list? and because i spent yesterday traveling, the first list is a travel list, but is by no means complete or comprehensive....there's no way i could make a full list of everywhere i've been or would like to go.... so, enjoy!! 25 places i've traveled or would like to travel (red = where i've been, blue = where i'd like to go) 1. new orleans,...

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...

A Break to Listen

If you aren’t aware, there’s a bit of the unknown in my life right now. Because of this place I’m in – out of necessity, really – I’ve been asking myself (and God) a lot of questions about purposes, dreams, places, and who I am. That last one seems to be cropping up a lot lately. And it is that question which has brought me here today. Last week I was talking with a friend about my recent trip to Chicago. Just to be clear, here’s how that trip happened: I’m in a Facebook group with a bunch of women from all over the country. One of them – who I had never met – posted about this conference (the Justice Conference) her organization was taking a group of women to, and there were some open spots. I emailed her, said yes, and booked a plane to Chicago…where I was picked up by another girl driving in from Michigan and then spent the weekend learning and loving and adventuring with 9 other women from different states whom I had also never met before. When I was leaving and my p...
