school, sunny days, scenery, and life.

life. 

  One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.

--Unknown. 

   When I look back at my life, when I ponder over what I've done, and when I'm in heaven with Jesus, I want to make sure that my life was a life lived glorifying and obeying Him.  

  I want my life to have followed His laws -- not the fads of this world or what the world says you should do or look like or say.  I want my life to be an epitome of a holy life.  

 I want to do everything in life for the glory of God.

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God

-- 1 Corinthians 10:31

scenery.

{{linking up with kiley's photo challenge }}

  flowers, trees, buds, and blossoms never cease to amaze me.  

simple things in life are so gorgeous. 

 Oh my goodness -- I love lambs.  A little too much, really.

school.

*gasps*

I can't believe I'm almost done 9th grade.

Time really does fly.

while doing math I decided to come up with new ways to dot i's in names.  I dot my eye with a bird now... (sometimes).   What other ingenious ways can you think of to dot your eyes?

 trees.

and 

 more trees and

 more trees. 

raindrops :: little

 crystal clear raindrops glided and raced down a window pane, while I, contently studying, watched them in awe.  So little, unique, and pretty.  'little diamonds sent from heaven'.

God's word always lifts me up when I'm feeling down... so why not go to His word today when you're feeling down? 

much love!

when the warm wind whispers

When the warm wind whispers softly, and American flags whip and crackle in the air so fierce, when the stream gurgles, when children laugh and play all day, when sprinklers whir never-ending, and when it's light outside till ten o'clock at night, one knows it's summer.  One can feel it's summer.

       I have that feeling.  That June-y feeling.  I know and feel it's summer.

Oh, joy... oh, summer, I love you so.

'Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens these are a few of my favorite things...'

--Casting shadows

--Petals sprinkling the ground

--self portraits out of car windows

-- Sprinklers whirring, making rainbows, making light.

--getting out clothes that are loose and free -- they're especially made for summer, in my opinion. (yep, that's me up there). ;0)

--Hoses watering dry grass ::  Jesus watering my heart, feeding and nourishing me.

--Writing with ink pens -- finishing up school work

-- celebrating the first of June with scrumptious apple coffee cake 

--glorious greens and magnificent blues 

--Cute cards on my desk: for me to look at when I study.  (Thank you for being there, cards!)

Reading Jeremy Fisher to my baby sister

green, green, green trees.

-- And a little purse/wallet.  

--gardening on hot days

--sunlight's ray on green leaves

--getting sooc shots that turn out wonderfully.  (above, for example!)

--Raindrops glistening on leaves

--Fresh dirt

--Sunlight, 'God's ray from heaven'.

-- freezing and capturing the beauty of delicate purple-colored flowers.

--and going to Stone Henge.

all these things  me smile -- because they're gifts from Jesus.

  

warm wind whispering... yes, that's a gift from Jesus.  

being alive, healthy, being able to dance and laugh and cry:  that's a gift... from Jesus.
