The crosses are made with bent horseshoe nails and wrapped in beautiful colored wire, available in beautiful colors that you can mix and match for school colors, or your indecisiveness! ;) I would appreciate it if you could check it out!

I Need To Move Somewhere

I need to move somewhere out in the country. I want to go horseback riding and go to a small church and watch little kids in cute "church clothes" and have my own garden and get up early to watch the sun rise and read the Bible. I want to have a tree in my backyard to climb and I want to not be sitting her wasting my time with a computer...recommend a state that has lots of country side!

I want to live out in the country I want to be able to make my own things, my own clothes, my own furniture, my own fun...I want a tree in my backyard that I can climb on and I want to ride horses and get up early to watch the sun rise and read the Bible. I miss the country side. I want to do cartwheels in the grass and catch lightning bugs with little kids again...I was that little kid years ago. I miss loving life like that. I want people to see what I see in life. I miss school being fun and not work and work being work that was made fun so that it wasn't work anymore. I miss simplicity. I want a best friend whose hand I can hold when I'm scared and who will give me picky back rides and talk with me about hos great life is and how wonderful God made us. I want someone who can see beyond dirt and see growth and see the threads that make up everything...


Oh Happy Bliss!

Listening to hymns and crying and consoling my best friend. Praying for him in his time of loss, but praying for his soul in a possible time of great gain. Making new friends and letting go of others. Attending small churches that need encouragement and help. Being told I'm "too happy." Ordering pizza with my little brother and eating the hot wings and bread sticks by ourselves while we blast the bass as loud as it will go. Me being scared of the pizza delivery guy. Having so many things to do I don't even know where to start. Starting with my Bible lesson on Hosea. The satisfied feeling of having my lesson done even though I didn't understand the last question and even though we didn't get to attend Centreville and I didn't "use" that lesson tonight. The beautiful map of Palestine I did for the Sunday morning class. Being happy even though it's FREEZING! Getting to talk to my other mom and tell her on the phone that I love her and miss her. Feeling like I'm finally setting (at least to a degree) the example I should. Not being afraid at all to tell people what I believe. Bringing new people to church. Dad being followed around town like the guy in "The Recruit." Making lists that someone might be tricked into reading because they didn't think it was a list. Knowing I have hope and I am still here and that while I should and will try hard for exams, they are not the most important thing in life and the world will not end if I don't ace them all. Knowing I MIGHT ace them all anyway. Getting a raise Friday. Finally being happy even though I could get paid somewhere else. Knowing money won't matter in the end. Loving my job because it's fun! Singing and not being afraid if customers hear me. Oh joy of joys, happiness is mine. I'm happy today oh yes I'm singing today in Jesus Christ I'm praying today because he's taken all my sins away and that's why I'm happy today!!
