It's a Picnic Darling, It's Your Picnic

Jared and I went on a picnic today! It was lots of fun and a nice break from working so much. There's a random picture from Chamberline's book store we went to after. ha. Anyways not much to say but you can look at the pictures!

Why Don't We Just Sit and Stare into Nothing?

I haven't wrote a blog in awhile. Mostly because I don't have a laptop of my own. I call it a Laprador. So when I do get on a laprador I just check my mail or get onto Pinterest. (So addicting) I have a laptop right now and I have awhile to type. I don't have anything worth saying or worth reading but I can tell you where I've been. If it's not an interest to you you can stop at any period and go back to your previous page. It won't offend me mostly because I won't know. I'm 22 this year and this year is almost over. I can't remember my past but I don't think I ever thought I'd be living in Florida. I don't know what I dreamed of for my life. I don't think I expected where I'm at. I don't think I expected I'd feel the way I do. It's been a new realization to me that I need to start writing a better life story or at least let God write more paragraphs in my life book than I do.

Once January comes around this blog will be seeing more action. Alright blog get your hopes up. I am planning on going on my first ever international mission trip to our church campus in Northern Ireland. It's going to cost a bit o money but.. I'm believing that more than half of my trip will be donated to me. So I will start writing more on this to tell more of my story.

I'm not boring... I've been told before.. "There is more to you than I thought there was." I take it as a compliment. I suppose I look boring but am quite interesting? I'll try and prove it to someone but then I'll get hung up on, "I'm not proving myself to anyone!"

Ok I'm finished...

I Don't Want Dentures..

I made my own toothpaste not too long ago and posted it on Pinterest and today a stranger repinned it so I just now decided to upload it to my blog... so here's the pic.

Those are my teeth in the backround. When my mom came to visit I asked her if she liked them, as in the picture. She said, "Uh ya I better like them I paid a lot of money for them." :)

It's funny to me that a lot of of the people who believed a Messiah was coming didn't believe it was Jesus. Jesus was fulfilling all of the prophecies they had been taught and believed. But I think they had their own ideas of how this said Messiah was going to fulfill them. So when Jesus did it in God's way they were confused and disbelieved. but isn't it easier to have disbelief than believe?

I made all of this for a friends new to the world offspring... I took an older atlas I had and cut it in squares to make the pinwheels. I took a lot of note cards and wrote each day of the year down so each year you write down a memory. Just like a sentence for the day. I went to the farmer's market and got three scrabble boards for a dollar each and I've been making things with them and my hot glue gun. :)

What we are..

I was talking to a guy at work the other day and he asked me if I was religious. I said no not at all. Without explaining anything than realized I probably should. I told him that I didn't like religion. I thought it was all these rules and regulations and that's not who Jesus is. I told him I liked Christ but this religion he asks if I'm a part of it, I am not. I asked him what he thought and he told me that he believes that we are essentially all gods. We talked more and more but last night during our encounter night I was thinking of that. Because I hear people all the time say that we are all gods. We do what we want, we make our own choices. And I started to think I agree with them. To the people who say we are all gods, I agree with you... We are all God's.

I decided since it was a beautiful day I'd go to the beach and just sit. I started re-reading the book, "The Greatest Thing in the World" by Henry Drummond. It's all about what Love really is. Just in case you didn't know the world has it all wrong... I had posted this little rant about guys and girls but it's not what the picture is about.... so I'm starting over...

Basically I was sitting on the beach staring at all these people walking by. and this is what I wrote down... "I just have to wonder do any of these bodies have a clue the secret is love? Not the love we've distorted it to be. The greatest thing in the world's love? I feel as if I'm holding a secret no one wants to help keep."
