My Mum was tagged the '8 Things' tag, and when I saw it on her blog I couldn't resist! So here is my 8 Things Tag!
8 Things I am Looking Forward To:
Mum coming home!She is away at the moment and I am already missing her like crazy!
Jesus coming back again
Decluttering the house – oh and painting it
Finishing reading too many books at once! (I’ve decided it’ much wiser to only read two books at once, one recreational and one educational, and then have a read aloud and maybe a long-term book, than five or six)
Getting over my cold – I’ve had it on/off for the past few weeks but it has been really bad this weekend.
The beautiful cool weather of the dry season – actually it is quite nice weather now
Rain – I live in hope that it might rain once more!
Discovering the abilities God has given me, and figuring out what God wants me to do
Dinner – who wouldn’t?Better yet, dessert!(I couldn’t resist nine!)
8 Things I Did Yesterday:
Ate rice pudding
Read some more of Be the Change - I really like how Zach Hunter is unjudgmental yet takes a stand for what he believes teens (anyone really) could be doing to help people in our world.I encourage you to check out his books,Be the Changeand Generation Change.
Had a piano practice – I am mastering the art of the pedals, believe me it’s not easy to make it sound right!
Ironed some clothes for Mum while listening to my Keith Green CD!
Helped Grandma pull out all the dead palm leaves that were either hanging on the trees or on the ground. It cost Grandma and I a splinter each – but the inside of the garden looks great now!
Watched the men (meaning Dad, Josh, Grandad and Daniel) work on a tree house
Went on an evening stroll down our road with Noms and some friends.
8 Things I Wish I Could Do:
Ride a horse
Break my habits
Overcome my spontaneous fear of heights
Fly (I’ve often wondered if I will be able to fly in heaven)
Go on a mission’s trip
Conquer writer’s block and write at the drop of a hat
Visit Turkey and Italy on a history tour
Remember academic facts!
8 Shows I Watch:
With the exception of Better Homes and Gardens, I don’t watch much actual TV. I don’t like what is on TV – and I’m not allowed to watch it anyway! But here are some movies I’ve enjoyed
Facing the Giants – I absolutely love this movie.I always walk away feeling inspired to live for God, in everything I do.
F-Troop – Did any parents out there reading this watch good ole F-troop?My Mum and Dad both watched this as kids and we love it! Strangly enough, the Letchford mob likes watching old TV shows rather than new ones. F-troop is great, clean fun.
Little Women
Anne of Green Gables (I really enjoy movies one and two; I don’t like number three because it is so different from my beloved books)
Flywheel
Amazing Grace
Horton Hears a Who!
Drive Thru History documentaries on the early Christian Church
8 People I Tag:
I always find it hard to tag or award people so I won’t bother. But if you are in need of a blog post, please -- help yourself, by all means! If you use it, let me know via comment and I will pop round!
One you're looking forwards to the cool weather (understandable) but next line you're wanting it to rain again?!?!!
The rain only comes with a hot, nasty, humid time to build up! Girls are so hard to please!

Hi and welcome to Little Miss Giggles' blog! My name is Jessica Letchford, otherwise known as Jess, who loves life and despises sleeping in. Reading, organizing, ancient history, computers, crafts, school and writing are just some of my hobbies. I also extremely enjoy singing, playing the piano and praising and worshiping our Awesome God! Because of Jesus' death and resurrection, we can choose to live life, flying the banner of love and flag of joy …so have a wonderfully fantazgreat day!
As I have moved in the blog-o-world, you can find me at JessicaLetchford.wordpress.com where I write about God, crafts, my life and organizing! Hope to see you there and God bless!
This blog is for me to share the things I have been learning, the photos we’ve been snapping, and character sketches as I learn more about living for the glory of God.
"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."— Henry David Thoreau
