Footsteps

I love this story!!!!

Footsteps In The Sand

 

 

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.

 

 

When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.

 

 

This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it:
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."

 

 

The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you,
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

We had a party at our house with the Pursleys, the Griffiths, the Knox's, and the Westalls! It was sooooooo much fun! The parents went crazy dancing etc, while Courtney, Chriss, and I had a blast taking glamor shots of eachother!!!!! It was really cool, cuz we set up a whole like stage to take pics, and we used a hair drier in place of a fan! The pics turned out really good too! Courtney and Claire got to stay overnight also! It was just a really awesome way to kiss the old year goodbye, and welcome in the new year! here are some of the best glamor shots we took:

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Goodnight!

I hope y'all all had a Merry Christmas! I certainly did! We had our grandparents over and it was a total blast! We got up around 7:30am to start opening gifts. I was extremely happy with what I got! But more importantly I enjoyed watched all my sibs open the gifts I got for them! Christmas is my favorite day of the whole year, and not just because of the giving and recieving gifts. ITs just nice to reflect and think about how Jesus was born to save us. It makes me very thankful! Here are some pics of my favorite day:

ok, fine! I will!!!

Since everyone has been nagging at me to do a new christmasy post, (even though there is NOTHING to post about) I will!

ok, something Christmasy, hmmmmm. Well, today our neighbors brought over thier awesomely yummy white chocolate candie-cane cookies! I had 2 already!!! :) Yesterday Christy I went to Marietta with Grandma and Poppa. It was lots of fun, and we went around looking in all the cute shops there. Sry, we didnt get any pics, we were too busy having fun. I'm afraid Poppa didnt have much fun though, since we went into all the girly shops! There is this awesome shop called Go Fish, there. It is full of cute stuff. There is a whole wall devoted to cute earings, and there are 2 big boxes full of braceletes!

I've done a lot of shopping lately (for other people) I've been so busy buying other people cute stuff, that even though there was plenty of stuff I would have liked to buy for me, I feared too much for my budget to spend anything on my self! Haha! The only people I didnt buy for, were Dad and Matt. I never know what to get the guys!

OH NO! Yikes, I just remembered someone REALLY important that I HAVE to buy a gift for!!!! See ya!

Thankgiving break

As some of you know, for Thanksgiving break, we went to Florida to visit our Unlce Ken, Aunt Sue, and our cousins Natalie and Elise.  It was so much fun! The weather was so nice and warm, and it was sunny every day we were there. They live right infront of a lake, so we got to go canoeing almost every day on it! There were lots of blue harrons, and other water birds there. We went swimming at Daytona beach, and Rock Springs while we were there. It was great! On Thanksgiving Aunt Sue and Uncle Ken also had a few other guests for dinner. They are chefs, so the food was excilent! It was so nice, all crowded around the small dining room table, to be thankful for what God has given us. I think it was one of my favorite vacations ever! Here are some pics:

Clothing

ok, I know I still need to do a post on my vacation, but i just found this statement in an article on line and I just HAD to post it on here!

What would you think of a home that provided no shelter and no privacy? What would you think of a meal that provided no nourishment and no energy? It does not take much to realize that if one were in the business of selling any of these he would go bankrupt very quickly. Yet, amazingly the rules seem to be different when it comes to another basic need: clothing, especially women's clothing. Every year fashion centers in Europe and America come up with the latest designs. And what have they designed? Another way of not covering the body; the dress equivalent of the home that provides no shelter and no privacy.

Haha! I actually found this on an Islamic article, but hey, its still true!

Blog on y'all!
