Photo Walk

Went on a walk to the grocery store and it was so pretty out that I took my camera. Nothing big or fancy, just appreciating beauty in the common things.

I just love sunshine through trees

I Don't Know How to Be a Christian

 There I said it. I really don't know what I'm doing. I've been living in legalism for so long that I don't know how to be a Christian. My instincts tell me to go one way or the other: Spiritual and laid back or Legal and uptight. I need to find a balance.

I need to learn how to pursue God actively. I don't want to weigh myself down with guilt because I am set free in God but I don't want to be unaccountable and forget my values. Lately I've been too lax, I feel like I've been giving lip service. I feel like I've been leaning on the testimonies of others and that God's presence burns bright in a room of Christians and is nonexistent when I am alone.

Drinks for Summer

summer drinks


Summer time is officially here and with it delicious refreshing smoothies, shakes and mixed drinks!

Morning Pick Me Ups:

This is Robert Frost?

9 Months Ago: Borders is going out of business (sad) and everything is marked down considerably. E.L. and I head out to find some of the prime clearance books. There--sitting on the shelf, lonely and neglected: The Poetry of Robert Frost. Yes! A dream come true! I would finally be able to read all of his delicious poetry from start to finish.

Oh and I totally forgot that He was recent enough to have a picture on the cover! For some reason I thought Robert Frost was much much older.


Today: In an attempt to actually match my repertoire with my book case I am going through and reading everything I own that I haven't read before. I am now reading that poetry collection. On page 201 out of 521.

Date a Girl Who Reads

 Wow my friend pointed this out to me today! This is so wonderful, didn't know that us readers and writers were seen in such a great light! I do so many of these things! And yes, I can't wait to introduce my children to Aslan.
 
“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.
