Simple Things

-

Why hello.

How art thou, my friends? Life has been a blur lately. How are you?

I am doing better than I deserve, and by God's grace I am living each day (though I could learn a thing or two about waiting well). 

As I sit in this new and exciting season, I have been trying to be purposeful in how what I do with the time I have been given. As many of you know, I adore flowers. Like they're my jam! Last year I collected a gallon sized bag of seeds and saved them for the purpose of planting again this year. So, as soon as the weather became warm enough (doesn't take THAT long here in Florida, lol), I prepared the soil and got to planting! Zinnias, Marigolds, Cosmos, Sweetpeas, Dahlias, Texas Blue Bonnets, Poppies, Daisys, Black-eyed Susans, and SO many more. Oh and my mint. Y'all, I love my mint! I had three containers of it that needed to go in the ground and thankfully, they're now thriving in the Florida dirt. *cue a happy dance*

Planting, weeding, and watering daily as brought to my mind just how exciting it will be for me to create a lovely space like this in my new home. Lord, it has been such a dream of mine to create a little haven of peace for my future family. O prepare me for it!



And now as the wedding planning is in full bloom, the excitement grows! Not only for that special day, but also for the flowers that I know will come up soon. Ah the joys of simple things!


Thank you, O Lord for the gift of life and flowers!

Good morning, blog family!  I am SO happy to share the questions to Kellie's  fun, and creative blog party!   I did this last year, and if you would like to read my answers, please  click here . <<<---Don't you just love this part in the movie?  I cry every time! :p I am composing/answering these questions with what read in 2014.  Next year it'll be with what I've read this year.  :)  Here are the questions and my answers. :)  Enjoy!   1. Introduce yourself! Divulge your life's vision, likes dislikes, aspirations, or something completely random! Well hello!  My name is Sarah and this is my second year attending Kellie's online party.  The first year  was SO much fun I just had to come back for more!  My life's vision is to honor and glorify my Savoir and King with everything that I say, think and do.  As I pray that part of God's will for me will include marriage and ch...

New moth, new verse

It is April (if you already haven't had a chance to take a glance at your calendar)!  This is random, but for some reason when each new moth rolls around I associate it with a color - weird, I know - and this is the list of months typed in the colors that I associate them with: January  February   March  April  May  June  July  August  September  October  November  December I know, it's really weird!  :p Back the post. :-) Part of my new year's resolution was to memorize a verse each month and reflect on it throughout the month. I am on my 4th memory verse of 2014!  :-) How did I decide which verses to memorize?  Well, my parents got my sisters and I a new, beautiful calender at the end of 2013 that was full of Psalm of praise. Each month has a verse, so I thought, "why not just memorize the verse that comes with each month?" That is what I am doing and it proves to be ...

"Fool's Paradise" - Scale (Acts 9:18)

-
(I meant to post this yesterday, but with computer and internet issues, it was delayed a day) My blogging buddy, and dear friend, Heidi posted a fun question  on her blog not long ago. The title of her post is Ring Around the Rose Week 3 ~ Dragon Conversation,  and the question was this: How would you go about talking a dragon out of eating you, especially if no weapons were available? Click on the link to read her full, and very entertaining story!   For me, I decided to make my answer into a little story.  Please read and enjoy. :) I would first have to remind myself to stay calm - dragons can sense fear and trembling (two things for which I am very good at completing).  After the shock, I regain what little strength I have left and slowly turn around, trying to get a glimpse at the distance of the cave entrance and wondering whether or not if I'll be able to make a run for it without getting burnt to a crisp.  Then, deep from ...
