Happy Birthday, Carrie!

Hi everyone,

This is a happy birthday to my friend Carrie. May you have the happiest of birthdays and a good year to come. May you grow in godliness and become a lovely maiden of God!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Hooray! It's Summertime!

Hi everyone,

Huzzah! This past week, I finished school and attended two graduations, that of my brother and two friends. My friends' graduation was the first high school graduation of my school, so it's pretty neat.

In other news, I just started my garden! Here are the following items that I have planted or have yet to plant:

Green Beans (bush)

Giant pumpkins. Now before you jump to any conclusions, I am NOT the kind of person that grows huge giant vegetables! (Although there was the time one of my zucchini grew to be very large.) I saw a packet for pumpkin seeds at the garden store. I picked it up without looking at it. I gave it to my mom who bought the little seed packet. 120 days later, we're gonna have a big momma of a pumpkin if we don't cut it before it grows too big (and believe me, we will).

Zucchini.

Squash.

Tomatoes.

Lettuce

Broccoli

Bell peppers.

Candytuft

Phlox

Johnny Jump-ups

Morning Glories

And last but not least, my most favorite flowers of all. They will be high maintenance, but it will be well worth it. May I introduce to you................

Queen Mary II Rose

And........

Memorial Day Rose

(I'll be honest and say that this isn't what the rose exactly looks like, but it's white and it's a rose.)

This is gonna be one neat summer! All I have to do is just remember to water the poor little plants! Ta ta for now!

Soli Deo Gloria!

How Does My Garden Grow?

Hi everyone,

I haven't been blogging for a long time. However, I have returned for a very short moment! I am slowly starting my garden. Yesterday, my mom and I went to our local garden store and bought lovely geraniums, sweet williams, dahlias, and snapdragons. Hopefully, sometime in the near future, I will be able to plant poppy seeds and start a vegetable garden. After I dig up all those nasty weeds!

Here are a few pictures of the flowers that I have:

This is not the exact pink color, but I thought it looked much prettier!

Geranium

Dahlias

Sweet William

And poppies all in a row!

Now, although I haven't been blogging lately, I have the duty to inform you that I am going to take another bloggy break. Don't cry now, I'll be back. It's just that the computer frazzles my brain (Don't ask.). However, until then, please tune in to any of the lovely websites I have on my sidebar, which are much nicer than any blog I could make!

Soli Deo Gloria!

Redemption

"When the Bible says that we are redeemed, it is saying we have been bought out of slavery, so we as Christians have been bought and brought out of slavery to sin. Christ’s death was the price paid for our freedom from sin. Christ’s death is how God has redeemed us from our slavery to sin."

"By His death on the Cross, Christ has become the Lamb that was slain for us, our Redeemer, the One who has made peace between us and God, who has taken our guilt on Himself, who has conquered our most deadly enemy and has assuaged the well-deserved wrath of God."

- Mark Dever

Soli Deo Gloria!

Friday Funnies

Hi everyone,

At last, another Friday Funny has come!

"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

Laughing Myself Silly

Hi everyone,

I found the funniest cat video! Unfortunately, I don't know how on earth to embed YouTube onto my bloggy blog, so you'll just have to go to this address. It's very funny though, and you'll laugh yourself silly! It's about a cat's obsession with flushing the toilet......

Birthday

Hi everyone,

This past Wednesday was my birthday. Due to Internet privacy, I can't say how old I am, but I can guarantee you that I had a great time. After awaking to a vase of pink roses in my bedroom, I was also entitled to a cherry turnover for breakfast (yum!). It was off to school then, where my class and I celebrated. Actually, there was another girl who had the same birthday as me, so we both celebrated with sugar cookies and a giant chocolate cookie from Giant's that had icing on it! (Again, yum!)

After a school day of work and goofy classmates, I went home, where I spent the rest of the afternoon doing what-not. The day was finished off with a delicious dinner and a yellow cake with chocolate icing!

Sigh. I love birthdays.

I'm so glad that God put me here on this earth. I don't know what He has planned next for me, but I'll go with each day as it comes.

Such as going to a birthday party for my grandma and myself in half an hour. We're having yellow cake with caramel icing. I can't wait!

Happy Birthday to all, and to all a good night!

Soli Deo Gloria

(Did I mention that I liked the Beatles? And that I got a gift certificate to Christa Taylor???? Huzzah!)
