One of my new favorite songs
The title says it all. This is one of my new favorite songs.
Perfect People by Natalie Grant
Never let 'em see you when you're breaking
Never let 'em see you when you fall
That's how we live and that's how we try
Tell the world you've got it all together
Never let them see what's underneath
Cover it up with a crooked smile
But it only lasts for a little while
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Suddenly it's like a weight is lifted
When you hear the words that you are loved
He knows where you are and where you've been
And you never have to go there again
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
Who lived and died to give new life
To heal our imperfections
So look up and see out let grace be enough
There's no such thing as perfect people
There's no such thing as a perfect life
So come as you are, broken and scared
Lift up your heart and be amazed
And be changed by a perfect God
By a perfect God
Be changed by a perfect God
Be changed

Psalm 148
Here is one piece of scripture that inspired my new template along with the one's on the sidebar. I encourage you to really take these words and put them in your heart. Proclaim His word and His praise to all people! Let this be our life's song!
Psalm 148
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling his word!
Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!
Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.
He has raised up a horn for his people,
praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to him.
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 148
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon,
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling his word!
Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!
Kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all rulers of the earth!
Young men and maidens together,
old men and children!
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.
He has raised up a horn for his people,
praise for all his saints,
for the people of Israel who are near to him.
Praise the Lord!
I've Been Tagged
If you could live anywhere in any house, where and what would it be? I would live on a far away island in a big house with a huge wall of glass looking out on the ocean where I could draw...
What are you wearing now? Shorts and a red shirt.
What is on your desk? A box if junk, a flower and pictures from my surgery.
What would you like to learn to do? paint with Oils.
What was the last thing you bought? Reading glasses
What one item are you currently wanting? A new, high tech camera
What languages can you speak? English and a bit of Spanish
What is the last book you have read? Company of Swans, and The Reluctant Heiress both by Eva Ibbotson. And Father of Dragons by L. B. Graham, and The Hidden Threshold by Me. :)
What do you want to be when you grow up? A surgical nurse. Or something like that.
What are your favorite websites? GrooveShark, LineRider, Shutterfly, all of my friends blogs, and Yahoo mail.
If you were to pick up a pen right now, what would be the first thing you'd write? "The swords clashed together. His ears rang mercilessly. 'So,' he thought, 'this is what fear is.'
If you you could be anywhere in the world at any point in time, where would you be? at any point in time? I would definitely stay right in this time period but in Ireland.
If you could be an animal, what would you be? Without a doubt, I would be a Griffin. Even though they really aren't real, they are, by far, the coolest creatures ever. :)
What are you looking forward to in the near future? Going to Branson in two weeks, then Texas, Mexico, and Florida in July, and school at Johnson County Community College starting two days after we get back from Florida. (That was a really big run-on sentence ;))
If you could open up your own store or business, what would it be? A store that provides appropriate clothing for girls at an affordable price.
What are you doing right now, besides typing out the answers to these questions? I am listening to "Irene" by TobyMac
I'm not going to tag anyone, but if you want to do it, feel free.

What I've been up to...
Okay, sorry folks. I'm a little behind on my posting. :)
A few weeks ago, I went out with many of my fellow Greenleafers out to the country... I mean WAY out. We went to where the owner of Greenleaf, Mrs. W., grew up. It took us over two hours to get there. We spent the whole day out there (and I mean ALL day. We left to go there at 7am and got back at 10pm.) . It was such a good time.
Marisa
Rebekah and Marisa... And Janice's sandwich :)
The scenery was beautiful!
And there was a HUGE turkey. The boys liked to mess with it.
The majority of our group about to head out. We had to wear jeans because of the tall grass (it was very tall. It came up to my shoulders in one place) but it was very hot. But we stayed hydraited.
Towards the end of the day, the group went on a hike. I didn't go though because of my knee. So, one of the mom's stayed back with me while the rest went on. They were gone for a good hour at least. But when they came back, almost every single one of them was soaking wet. Apparently, they had all slipped, one by one, into a big lake. Only me and the mom with me and just a few others had escaped from it. It was pretty funny... For me at least. :) Afterwards, we when to town, looked around the shops and went to dinner at the Golden Corral. I sat at a table with Marisa, Rebekah, and Janice. We had a great time with many laughs.
The very next day (Sunday), we left for Illinois.
Christian got a new cowboy hat...
We went fishing...
Oh, and my dad got a new cowboy hat too...
And we pulled out the Bebe gun.
A couple days after we got home, we all got our hair cut. This is the shortest I've ever had my hair. And Christian hasn't had his hair this short since he was 4!
Christian wanted to know how to make bread, so we showed him.
He was amazed at how big the dough had gotten.
My mom got her hair cut too.
I braided the bread and Christian added the finishing touches by brushing on the butter.
And here we have.... a work of art. :)
Thus concludes this blog post.
Have a great week!
