2:30 am

That's what time it was when God gave me this. So I am now going to share it with you.



Never Enough,
How could I ever have enough time, enough of You? Never, there is never enough time, the right amount. Never that feeling, ahhhh no more, I am full. And if there is I have not found it, I could not even fathom that of "enough". For every moment leaves me with a yearning for more. Satisfaction will not come to my lips. For when I am with Him my world stops. No time floats by. How could it for He is time, water, sky, life. And without Him I would be no more. Though my flesh would live, breath, walk and run. I would be dead. For I live for Him, by Him, and because of His love and mercy. So you see no amount of time could ever satisfy me. For it will never be enough.

So that's what I wrote at 2:30 am

2011

Another year. Saying goodbye to the old and bringing in the new. Last year was an amazing, so much love and family, Friends, sleepovers, beautiful music, meeting new and amazing people, talking about marriage at 2 am with my cousin, baptism in the holy spirit, finishing the new testament, saying goodbye to my lovely cousins aunt and uncle that I love so much, a new baby in the family, cooking yummy foods, camping out at grandmas while mom was in the hospital and being so happy when she was better, starting a new class, finding a new love for writing, getting a blog, seeing old Friends, watching two of my cousins find a special someone, and watching one of those someones become a faience, weddings, the pure joy and peace of my Lord, and so much more.

As I look forward to the new year I see the opportunity to do so much more than this year. More time to grow closer to Jesus my Lord. And the unknown, which can be scary but I have peace in knowing that as long as I follow His divine plan all will be as it should.

I pray that this new year brings so much love, joy, peace, and so much more.

9 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe it's down to 9 days away? My excitement is rising higher and higher! But I some times wonder if my excitement is for presents and food and family or if it's for what it should be, a time to celebrate the wonder of my Lord Jesus' birth. Do you ever wonder that? Well I am trying to make sure that it is set on just that! So even if the stress of shopping or cooking or anything else, keep focused on what CHRISTmas is really for!

The first snow!

The first snow has fallen, it's Finlay here! Oh how the beauty shows all around me! A few day's ago we got the first real snow! I love it! I wait for this every year, when my chilly world becomes a winter wonder land. Today I had the aaaaaaaaa privilege :) of walking a mile in a field bio class in the snow and cold and marvel at His beauty! Nature is one my favorite things that God has given us. It inspires me to write and to pray. So weather you have snow where you are or not, stop, look around, and enjoy the gifts he has given us!

Thanksgiving!!!

It's here!! The time for giving thanks!! I am thankful for, my mom, my dad, my brother, my sister, my dog, my aunt's, uncle's, my cousins, my grandparents, my house, my food, my clothes, music, words, freedom to live and to praise my Lord, hands to work with, feet to walk with, eyes to see with, ears to hear with, people to love and love me, my future husband even though I have not met him yet, baby kisses, piano sounds, midnight prayers, open Fields, sunsets, flowers, but more than any of this, I am thankful for a God who would give his only son to die and take away my sins, a savior who would love me no matter what and who has washed me clean and filled me with joy!!!!!! Nothing compares,

Beautiful fall days

Oh the beauty of fall, I could melt with happiness! Don't you just love the colors? The blistery air? This is without a doubt my favorite time of year! The best time for, coffee, cider, donuts, pie, fuzzy socks, curling up around the fire (if you have one that is), CHRISTmas preparations, pictures, hay rides, apple picking, long walks, but more than anything a time for marveling at Gods beautiful work! Unfortunately I cant focus on things that need to be done. I have an idea for a story but I don't know where to start. Oh well life go's on. Trying to start my etsy business anybody have any ideas on what to do with a whole bunch of yarn? Well CHRISTmas is coming, what are some of your traditions for this time of year? That's all folks!

Random

Don't really have anything to post about but here it goes anyway. Just last week I had the privilege of watching my Friends wedding on upstream live! She lives in Dubai and it was wonderful to be able to see well mostly hear her wedding. Love you Cait! Then later in the week had a Minnie sleep over with my cousin Katheryn and stayed up till 2 am talking about marriage, then the next day I looked up bible verses on the subject of marriage!! Marriage is something that I myself cant wait to be apart of. But as my lovely Friend posted on her blog recently I'm not just waiting around for a husband. I have a life, I write, I sell on etsy (sort of), I help my family with house work, I'm trying to graduate early, I babysit, I've got Friends, I cook, I think, I do things with music, I read good books, I am a child of God and live my life for Him and working on getting closer to Him, and much more! Now that's not to say that I wont be overjoyed when the Lord shows me who I'm supposed to marry, but I have joy in my life without one. So don't spend your life pining away for a husband, spend it living! Well that's about it.
