What A Crab... =)

Guess what we saw at the beach the other day!!!!!  A CRAB!!!!!

My mom took video of it:

Yes, my mom really is asking me to put my foot by the crab...  *Lauging*  =)   It was fascinating to me, watching this animal that our Heavenly Father created. 

Au Revoir...Until next time.
Many Blessings!  =)

Rings That Remind Me

Chorus:
Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
Well because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
 
Jeremy Camp ~ Walk By Faith
Album: Stay

I got a new ring three days ago.  I love rings that won't turn my finger green!  (And not just, because they don't turn my finger green.  =)  )  I also love them, because I hardly ever have to take them off.  I'm not very good at remembering to take rings off....I've had to throw quite a few away, because of it.  BUT the point is I got a new one. 

Ta Da (in a sing-song-y voice):

Walk By Faith
 
I love unusual rings...  Rings with writing on it (especially when it's a Bible verse!!)  Like my new one.

2 Corinthians 5:7
The funny thing is, that I've been wanting another ring.  My mom & I went to our local Christian Book Store three days ago.  I always look at the jewelry...especially the rings, but I never see anything I like.  (Usually because they have very few to choose from.)  But this time, they had a lot to choose from.  And this one caught my eye, even though it was "trapped" inside one of those locked cases.  

Anyhoo, a lady unlocked the case, so my mom & I went on the search for a ring that we liked.  We found a couple, but they were the wrong size...  'Oh bug!'  BUT I still had my eye on the above ring.  And at the very end of this one row, we found one that fit!  I was quite pleased!!  =)  This particular style of ring happened to be the only one in my size.  Amazing!

I love rings that are unusual, because they can be great conversation starters.  I've had people comment on my "twisty ring" before.  And I'm able to explain that its a Bible verse.
 
They're also good reminders for myself.  My "twisty ring" says:  "May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer."  Psalms 19:14

"For we walk by faith, not by sight."
 




Something I am continually working on.  =)

If you have any interesting rings, jewelry etc...  I'd LOVE to hear about them!!










Au Revoir...Until next time.
Many Blessings!  =)

Moments

We laughed out loud til we cried
And the tears were sweet
Midnight melted to morning
A moment faded to memory
All these days just slip away through our fingers

Chorus:
So... Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that you can

Joy Williams ~ Every Moment
Album: By Surprise



I told you I'd be back soon!  =)

I thought I'd just share some things that have been going on in "my little corner of the world".

Congratulations to my grandparents (in case you were wondering...it's my mom's parents).  They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last month.  But we just had the party for them last Saturday.  I'll post some pictures later. 

It was so much fun!  Hearing my grandparents reminisce about the "good old days".  Things like riding their bicycles for miles, (no cell phones, no predetermined destinations) & their parents-never for a minute-worried about where they were.  Seeing all their friends that they've had since junior high & high school.  It was fun to see my grandparents so happy.  =)  I don't know when I've ever seen them smile...or cry so much in one evening.

I'm getting excited for our Community Bible Study (CBS) to start again!  So far we have 13 (including me), 7-12 graders.  My mom is the teacher.  =)  It's going to be so fun to be in a group with people my own age again.
Last year I was a helper in the K-6th grade class.  I had a TON of fun...but it could never take the place of the fellowship, that I missed terribly from my old CBS...  With my all-girl group of sweet sisters.  (You know who you are =)  )
We are studying Revelation this year.  I've studied it before, but I'm excited to be studying it again, with a new place, new people, & new spiritual growth!!!  I'm just a little bit excited....in case you didn't already notice...  =P

I would LOVE to hear what you're studying right now....or if you go to a CBS, what you'll be studying this year!!!

Unfortunately I must go.... BUT I will return!!

Au Revoir...Until next time.
Many Blessings!  =)

Happy Independence Day!

In honor of this momentous day, I wanted to post a couple verses from God's Word about freedom.

"...If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."  ~  John 8:31-32

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." ~ Galatians 5:1

I hope that you are greatly blessed this day!!

Au Revoir...Until next time
Many Blessings!
