Couldn't decide

I feel like I say this every time, but today I wasn't really able to get any good pictures, and I am too drained now to go try and find some (plus it's dark).  So here are my submissions for today because I couldn't decide which one to use.

Barometer/thermometer

Rubics cube type thing.  I can't remember the real name of it.  I like it though it's fun!

Finally got the courage

. . . to pull my huge tank of a car off the road to take some pictures of this cornfield in Girard/Fairview.  It's really awesome in person.  I will show you some of the less detailed shots and the macro shots I took.

This one is for perspective of the field.  It stretched at least that far in the other direction also.

Gives you an idea of how blustery it is today! :) I love it though :)

Macro shot #1

Macro Shot #2

Macro shot #3 of the silk on the corn.  Looks really appetizing doesn't it? :-P

Ah, I thrive in this weather! :)

Photo of the day for Sunday

This is not edited yet, hopefully I can do that sometime tonight, but anyway here is the picture of the day of Justin and his baby one!

Birthdays Birthdays Everywhere

Yesterday after church we went to Golden Corral to celebrate the birthdays of this guy:

Who was more excited about that rusty nail than these:

Sally, Justin, Brandon and I also celebrated the birthday of this guy:

 With these people!

 

Yay for birthdays and getting see friends and meeting new people! :)

Feelings mutual

This is a song from the movie Fireproof.  If you haven't seen it yet, it's really awesome.  I love it!  I've seen it probably 5 times already and really really enjoy it.  Anyway this song is called "While I'm Waiting" by John Waller. That's how I'm feeling right now. 

"I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait"

 I love Aaron very much and would really like to be getting married like a year ago.  Not joking.  But today's sermon really helped me think about how I should be patiently waiting and serving the Lord.  I should also be praying for more specific things.  So one of the ways I am applying this is with asking the Lord for patience. This song also reminds me of that.  I've decided that while I am waiting on the Lord to allow us to get married that I'm going to be in the Scriptures daily, looking at what it means to be a couple serving the Lord together. 

I truly believe that Jesus has put Aaron and I together and that someday we will be doing full time ministry together in one way or another.  We've already done a lot of ministry together. One of our close friends said that it was through our witness that said friend came to Christ and was able to grow in Christ.  My senior year of college we'd stay up in the end lounge talking about spritual topics.  Well, to be honest I usually ended up falling asleep because I'm not very good at staying awake at night, BUT, it was awesome to be able to serve our friend TOGETHER! 

I just pray that the Lord will continue to help me to grow in patience as I wait on His timing for marriage.  I know I know, never ask for patience.  But to be honest that is what I need. James1:5-6 says " ⁵If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. ⁶But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."  I am asking God for wisdom and patience as He shows me His will for our lives. 

Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

And the same with Saturday

Considering I got home at 12:30 ish last night I had no time to upload a photo.  Again these are unedited and not sure if these are my favorites or not yet until I actually get to play around with the photos sometime.

 

Mom and I took a walk around the campgrounds and saw this pretty little flower. . . and the one below.  That one wasn't little though it was huge.  It was such a beautiful rainy day yesterday.  To me anyway!

Friday I wasn't able to upload

a picture.  But here is my unedited submission for my photo of the day.

Again

Not my favorite but I did get a really good one of the six month old today but don't want to post it on here as this is a public blog.  Here is my submission for today's photo.

I liked the way you could see the stitching and the light and shadows on the pillow.  Hopefully one of these days I'll actually be able to get a better picture.  I see all of these places I want to photograph on my way home but with the huge tank I'm currently driving I'd rather not try to pull that over to take some pictures.  Tomorrow we will just have to take a walk or two so I can take some pictures. 

FANTASTIC

. . . tap dancer.  Love this guy's tapping skills.  He amazes me.  This is the same audition he did for Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance.  He made it straight through to Las Vegas which is the next round of cuts.  I hope Ryan Kasperzak makes it to the top 20 this year or I'll probably cry.


It makes me miss dance alot.  Some day I hope to have money and then maybe I could dance again.  We'll see. I was never really that good to begin.

Not thrilled

Couldn't really get any great photos tonight :(.  Here is my submission for my own photo a day requirement. Lunch today for miss independent was peanut butter and a triple fruit jelly (apricot, peach and mango.)
