Hair. Day 25.

TrueLoveWaits. Day 24.

Now. Day 23.

This is my now

and I am enjoying EVERY-SINGLE MINUTE of it.

Thank you Lord for everyday.

Thank you for every person.

Thank you for every blessing.

Thank you.

Fragrance. Day 22.

I want to smell like God. Weird, maybe, but honestly

I want to have His aroma. Not just a look, or an act.

Rid me of me, and get God.

Sounds simple, and to a point it is.

Give yourself, allow Him to take you over.

For me, it isn't. I get in the way,

Not purposefully, but it's best described as a trip I guess.

Walking through life, saying things like,

"I'm going to be better today."

or

"I'm going to be what God wants me to be today, with His strength of course."

or maybe it's

"Stay positive, stay positive, don't let yourself down."

And then, right as your having a great week,

BING! And you fall on your face.

(This is when I smell, I stink, I reek of myself.)

Then, if your honest, your first thought is something

along the lines of, come on God,

now everyone is going to think I'm not growing,

why can't I be like so-in-so.

I hate tripping, I feel stupid and my face turns red after.

I look around to see if someone saw, and then continue on.

The good thing is God doesn't care.
He sees through to your heart.

As long as your trying, you're going to fail.

He just wants to help you continue on, once you get back up.
Smell that fragrance.

Smile. Day 21.

"Friendship improves happiness, and abates misery,

by doubling our joys, and dividing our grief."

-Joseph Addison

Closed. Day 20.

Why close when you can be open...haha. Life is short, don't waist it. The door in our lives is often closed to so many people we could be getting to know. Why not open up and get out their. There may be someone who you'll fall in love with, or someone who understands what you are going through. Or maybe it's just someone who you'll end-up not giving a crud about and you'll then know what you don't like in a person. Well done.

Direction. Day 19.

Where to go? Where can I be taken? Home, away, nowhere or anywhere?

Circumstances. Day 18.

Playing with Fire, has it's circumstances.
You just have to choose how you handle them.

Wonder. Day 17.

I love lighting and how different it can make a mood.

Fenced. Day 16.

     Now usually someone would look at a fence and think of cage, limits, lack of freedom and confinement. But recently I've realized that being confined can be a great blessing. Now my comparison of a fence in the simplest term is, parents. Since I was young I've been kept watch over as well as learned my rights from my wrongs. Now I can thank my parents for keeping me out of trouble and helping me get to where I am today, safely.
     Yea, this sounds cheesy and unoriginal, but honestly, I'm thankful.
     The one thing that concerns me is why can't God be like that sometimes. I mean He is when He asks us to be obedient, and that is our choice. But why do we have freedom of will? Don't get me wrong, I enjoy making choices, but at the same time, it is difficult to talk to the Creater of the UNIVERSE, and ask Him what he wants you to do after you sacrifice your life, and you recieve no answer.
     Do I ask for a fence, to cage me in so that my path is made for me, that is supposedly better then anything I could possibly dream for myself? Or do I look through the fence wanted to know what else is out there that I can't be part of?

Peculiar. Day 15.

So Pretty Pretty Pretty.

Don't Sit. Day 14.

Why do we sit on our tushies all of the time?

I'm not just talking about being an "on fire Christian" either.

As normal people, we just simply let LIFE pass.

Not wanting to "test the waters," or be CRAZY!

Most of this is because of what we think people will think.

That in itself is funny because it is still what YOU are thinking.

Life is honestly, short. It's nothing compared to eternity.
It's a second honestly.

Why waist a day?

Do what you want, go out and laugh at something.

Be someone to someone else, "make a difference!"

Cheesy yes, but who honestly wants to not be known?

I don't, I want to make others happy,
I want to have light shinning from my face,
my fingertips, my smile, and want it all to glow with JOY.

You can observe so much in the passenger's seat,
or a small wooden swing in a backyard (FYI...my picture for today)
or even a smelly old lazyboy chair.

But once you're free, you see more, you feel more,

you find beauty, and you experience.

What is life without that?

PRAISE THE LORD!

Fragile. Day 13.

How fragile are the very strong?

Road Trip. Day 12.

Taking a break from the book shots, we took a road trip break, love it.
"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."
  ~St. Augustine

Rushed. Day 11.

Little time, leaves little patience with me. When I'm rushed, I'm crazy.
I focus less, I breathe quicker and I think with feeling.

Surprise, surprise. I'm impatient.

Intrigue. Day 10.

Haha. Knowing something someone else doesn't. Or acting like you do.

Discontentment. Day 9.

Tired of the same old thing?
Don't get mad, get GLAD!

To conquer oneself is a greater victory

than to conquer thousands in a battle.

It is all a matter of the mind.

Goofy. Day 8.

If you can't laugh at yourself,
then what's the fun in life?

Being a goofball is what I'm really good at.

I'm not a class clown, I just enjoy the feeling of a

smile running across my whole face.

Even better is watching it spring across someone else's.

I love having friends that feel the same.

God blesses us with the happiness of

others EVERYDAY as long as we accept

the opportunity.

Ponder. Day 7

This is my friend, and I like her.

Family. Day 6

My family, is my favorite family.
God stuck me with the perfect fit.
Since I can't get them here,
I just got their pictures all together.

Buddha. Day 5

Old friends pass away, new friends appear.

It is just like the days.

An old day passes, a new day arrives.

The important thing is to make it meaningful:

a meaningful friend - or a meaningful day.

-Dalai Lama

Tree. Day 4

I never get sick of the sun.
I also love trees.
Thank you Lord for giving so many
things such beauty.

Bike to Bless. Day 3

One of my favorite things to do is bike. I love the outdoors and I love the feeling of the breeze brushing across my skinny-skin-skin. It's a beautiful day. Go out and take a peek at God's creation. I love it!

Splendor is imperfection,

yet still living another day.

Splendor is being faithful.
