Winnie the pooh days..

I love having a window-seat for days like this blustery one. I love sitting out at my window and watching the wind blow through the trees in my front yard. Then watching the skies move by as if in slow motion with patches of blue underneath the gray... I LOVE wind! I am not sure why, but i have always love the wind. I have been fascinated by how mysterious it is=] (I know I am weird.) Psalm 18:10 talks about how the Lord "flew, soaring on the wings of the wind." Matthew 8:27 mentions how the disciples marveled at how amazing Jesus was that, "the winds and the sea obey Him." John 3:8 also mentions how "the wind blows where it pleases." I love these verses, especially the one in Psalms! Wind just shows to me how great God is! He truly is AMAZING!

On a different note though I am not so sick anymore, thankfully. I think i will just be stuck with a cold for awhile now. Hopefully it will go away soon though. Have a Good day everyone!

A new post!

I know I have not written on here for a long period of time, and i am sorry for that. I do not know if too many people actually read my blog..I hope that i can write things that are worth it enough for others to spend time reading. I am mainly sitting down and writing again because i have time. I am home instead of at school because i am sick. I have caught a wonderful sinus infection, cold, cough, etc. I think i finally got sick because God wants me to rest a little bit before i go back to school and tackle everything. That normally happens to people in my family. =] Well, only my dad and I. My dad and I tend to go, go, go until we are too exhausted and we collapse and get sick. :) My mom has learned to recognize these signs and she tries to stop us before we collapse, but it didn't work this time... So because of me not stopping and sleeping i am laying here in my bed, drinking lemon water and periodically sneezing.=] Its a lot of fun=] I try to put something funny on my blog every now and then and the joke i hae to put up is funny, yet ironically sad. Tell me what you think=]
