Photoblog

So I've decided to add something new to my blog page, it's called photoblog. I know most of my posts are filled with pictures but I thought I would share more of my love of photography. The photoblog tab can be found on the side of my blog page. I can't promise I will post pictures all the time, but I will try to do it pretty often. Maybe twice a year. Just kidding, it will be more than that. :D I hope y'all wil enjoy it. Let me know what you think.

"That's All Folks!"

Lewis! Lewis! LEWIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I left off of my last post saying that my mom and brother were coming to visit. Well, they have come and gone and a week has flown by, but I'm now only getting around to blogging about it. lol. So it was soooooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our funnest(yeah, I know my grammer is bad.:D)day was on Saturday. First we went to Natalie's cross country meet (which, by the way, is where my pictures on the photoblog were taken). She did really good, placed 52nd while faceing two nationally ranked teams. We hung around there for most of the morning and also watched the guys run.



Natalie and Mom



They really do love each other. :D

She's so cute!

After that we went to Subway and ate some food because that is truly important. :) I had a chicken bacon ranch sub. I truly LOVE bacon and ranch!!!!!! Then we decided to go hiking on Bradbury Mountain (which is more like a hill). However, it was a lot of fun to say we summitted a mountain!!!

WE DID IT!!!!!

From top of the mountain!

From there we decided to go to a corn maze and oh. my. gosh. It was extremely fun!!!!!!!! It was a large corn maze with many twists and turns, obviously. However, what made the the most fun was just being with the family. Nathan and I were battling for the lead job. I say they should have followed me the whole way because we would have gotten out sooner.:D Natalie and Mom just followed along, trying to keep up with Nathan's speed walking, and trying to control their laughter. About halfway through the maze or a little less Natalie names Nathan and me, Lewis and Clark(after the famous explorers). So then when ever Nathan disappeared from view Natalie and I kept yelling, "LEWIS! LEWIS! LEEEEWWWWWWIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It was so amusing! And then I would take the lead over for a little bit, until Natalie and Mom decided to follow Nathan. Those traitors. lol. After many times of going in circles and wrong directions, I finally guided us safely out of the maze with only two casualties. Just kidding, I didn't lose anybody. :D (And for those of you wondering, no we weren't the ones who called 911 from a corn maze.)

Yep, that was our very, very, very fun day!!!! The rest of the weekend went great to. On Sunday we watched the fourth Pirates of the Caribbean. Such a great movie and soooooo funny. Johnny Depp is amazing as CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow.

Creating a Home

It's been exactly a month since I last posted and the only explanation I can give is that school is keeping extremely busy. I've realized that happens a lot. I will be so busy going to classes and doing homework that I let other things fall by the wayside. One of the things that I found that can also fall away is my time with the Lord. I still read the Bible almost everyday, but sometimes my mind can be somewhere else worrying about a test or paper. Or instead of just sitting and listening to the voice of the Lord, I'm to busy asking Him to help me with those tests and papers. However, something I read today made me think about this and revealed a very important truth. What I learned today is that we have to create a home for the Lord in our lives. We can't just go do our thing and then expect God to be there the minute we have time. I'm not saying that God isn't always around because He is. What I'm saying is that we have to take the time to wait on the Lord, to praise Him, and to listen to that still small voice. As He says, "Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). Sometimes we just have to take a time out from our hectic lives and commune with God. Just like with Elisha, God doesn't come in the violent wind, the earthquake or the fire (1 Kings 19:11-13), He comes in a gentle whisper saying, "This is the way, walk in it.(Isaiah 30:21)"  Instead of always running around like a chicken with its head cut off, we need to give God a place where his Spirit can come and rest. That is what I want to be: an abiding place for the Lord and today and everyday forth, I'll create a home for Him in my heart and life. I hope y'all do to because it truly is life-changing. :D
