Dreams

So a good friend and I were talking the other day, about dreams, how long they seem to us, but in reality how short they truly are.
it got me thinking, about our life on this alien planet. my theory is that our life in God's perspective is as long as a dream, it is really only a few seconds in his view, but in our perspective it seems like we have all the time in the world before we "wake up".
I don't think I am explainingg this very well, that is not a talent of mine. I hope you can at least get a glimpse of what I am trying to say! :D

Hope you guys are having an awestruck day! :D

Easter

HAPPY EASTER!!!
Even though I am only a few hours early, My time that is. I wanted to be the first to wish you all a VERY happy Easter!
I was watching some videos, videos that make someone smile, and want to dance!
there were 2 videos. in both videos there were thousands of people dancing, for one reason! They were dancing because of the Resurrection of Christ!

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!!

Favorite Bible Verses

I have been finding alot of Bible verses lately that help me realize that God is the one who is here to stay, the only one who will not just get up and walk out of my life.
these are most of the one I have found recently...

1)
John 14:18
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you"


2) “Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.” < MY FAV SO FAR


3)Isaiah 40:31
"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint"

There are many others in there but these are ones that really stood out to me.
I wil share some others that I love later as well!


God Bless!!

Eggs

Ok... well, last I knew there were 11 eggs, buried everywhere in the 'cage' when i checked today, there were 6. that I could find, there were little pieces of egg shell, and then there was a membrane in the water today with little pieces of shell all over it... there were 4 eggs in the dog kennel we put in there for an extra dry place, and then the other 2 outside that little hutch.
what happened to the other eggs? I am missing 5... I know one is gone, so where did the other 4 go?
does anybody know anything about ducks/eggs. I am UBER confused about this.
are the 2 rotten? and the 4 going to hatch??
did the other 4 hatch and the chicks ran away? you think I would notice that, and I think they would be smarter than to run away from mom and dad in the rain... and I doubt they squeezed through the wiring...
Any advice??

Traveling

I have been thinking alot about traveling places lately... not just in the U.S. I want to GO places... Ireland, Europe, New Zealand,France, Scotland... ETC.
for many different reasons;
1) I want to see the world our Lord created
2) to take photographs
3)Spread the word of God
4)to be able to get away for a while
5) to say I did it! (haha)

Traveling is something I grew up on, I am the Daughter of an Air Force Pilot. We have moved more than some, and less than others. I lived in japan, but I honestly don't remember much. I want to go back there someday. If you do not know about it already, I am going to inform you about the Earth Quake, and Tsunami that followed soon after. it caused ALOT of major damage, and it took thousands of lives. Lives that I would like to believe are reunited with their Maker. I can only pray. but it also left behind alot of people who are hurt, Physically, and Emotionally. I can't even imagine loosing my family.
One of the main reasons I want to go to Japan is to spread the word of God. I wish I could go right now... but I still have alot of Maturing and learning I need to get under my belt to be able to do that.
There are so many oppertunites everywhere we look, but miss.
have you ever watched a 3D movie and you need the special glasses, and when you take them off the picture becomes fuzzy. The glasses are made of individual pieces, like lego's. (not quite like that, but you get the idea) I think most of us have most of the glasses put together, but we are missing the last piece. that piece is different for everybody.
There is a video of what I am trying to describe, I just can't find it right now. I will post it when I do!
alrighty... I have to go for now...
Please comment! i love to read them!
Ciao!

Beautiful

"Days will come when you don't have the strength
And all you hear is you're not worth anything
Wondering if you ever could be loved
And if they truly saw your heart
They'd see too much

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight
Cuz you are more than what is hurting you tonight
For all the lies you've held inside so long
But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful, You're beautiful
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die!

You're beautiful, You're beautiful
In His eyes

You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His
You're beautiful!
You are made for so much more than all of this
You're beautiful!
You are treasured
You are sacred
You are His"

This is my new favorite song. it is by MercyMe. THe first time I heard this song I was almost in tears. Alot of what they sing about hits the nail on the head with how I feel.
Sure, people tell girls that they are beautiful, but truthfully, we don't believe it. Most of us don't anyways. I don't think I am alone in feeling ugly most days. (Please let me know if I am.)
this song helped me realize that I am beautiful in God's eyes. inside and Out. sure every thing/every one has their flaws. But God is willing to help us through those if we are willing to try.
God truly made all of us beautiful. Despite what our outside appearance appears to be in this world. everyone I know thinks they have to be Skinny... I sometimes believe that. I wonder what I can do to loose weight. but then I realize... being the skinniest person on the planet would not fix anything. I would still feel flawed. But, my looks have nothing to do with it. It is my view on the world. If I go around believing I am not pretty enough I will and have become very depressed. bt If I learn to believe that I am beautiful in my makers eyes this sensation of happiness will come over you. Believe it.
but, even though that can and will happen, there is also still a little bit of sadness... I am not going to lie to you. I still have those days/weeks where I still want to hideaway. sadly it is because I believe that I will never know the loving of a man... I still don't believe i am pretty enough. I will think to myself,
"He is too good for me"
God has been showing me in different ways, ways I can't even explain... that I am beautiful... and as my Dad of this world says "no man is worthy of you"
How do we truly believe it???? it is EXTREMELY HARD! I have been tryinf this past week and a half to believe this... sad to say, I am failing MISERABLY!
I hate to say it... pretending won't work either, tried that route... what does work??
Read the Bible. find those verses that talk about true Beauty and love. or find a Christian song that speaks to you... Go on a hunt. I am serious! read the Bible verse that really hits you on the head, and listen to that song everyday for a month!
(eventually the song will be stuck in your head and you find yourself singing it in the car, at school, at work, wherever your day takes you. )
My favorite verse right now is Hebrews 13:5.
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you"

I know I am not writing exactly what I am thinking down... I never can, the words always get all cabobbled. but girls, try this with me! Please!

Ducks and a fast

Ok, So since I haven't written much about the ducks (Bonnie and Clyde) lately I would write a little spurt on them. They are doing really well Still oddly colored, but OWuldn't expect anything different for my ducks! :) on Feb-19 (or 20th) Bonnie laid eggs!!! FINALLY! I was so excited! haha! I am not sure if they are fertilized or not, How do you tell? I don't know if i should collect them or not. it takes eggs about 28-30 days to hatch. (or so they say). So I guess if the go rotten I know! haha! Pretty lame plan, but I don't want to crack an egg and find a developing Chick in it. How depressing would that be?
On another note, I took a challenge, that turned out to be an easy challenge. I decided to go on a fast, from FaceBook. for a couple Reasons.
1) there are do many other important things to get done.
2)there is ALOT of Drama that goes on, on FB.
3) it isn't personal, so I decided that when someone has a Birthday, I will call them instead! (HEY! it's personal again!)

it seems the more ways to get in touch, we are actually getting disconnected. there are so many ways to talk to eachother now... Websites like FB, E-mail, Texting. But none of those are really personal. I mean, what happened to a nice letter or a phone call. those are probally my favorite ways to talk to my friends. Long distance or across town. it's more personal that way.
It has been 5 days since I gave it up. I honestly don't miss it!

1) I have lots more time to do homework, get chores done, and then more time for hanging out with friends. :)
2) my life isn't as dramatic! and my mind isn't AS cobobbled as it was.

if you are 'brave' enough try it. I just wrote my friends birthday dates down, and left my e-mail address seeing as I won't put my cell number on the Web. I am really enjoying it! and a Bonus, I have ALOT more time to spend with our AMAZING God!
