Teach my heart, Lord.

-

Teach my heart, Lord,
To sing your praises
Because troubles of life
Invade my soul.

Teach my heart, Lord,
To see your beauty
Because life is full
Of dirty broken jars.

Teach my heart, Lord,
To trust in your faithfulness
Because all else in life
Fails to be faithful.

Teach my heart, Lord,
To love like you love
Because your love
Is persistent, unfailing, and true.

Teach my heart, Lord,
To hold fast to your truth
Because Satan will tempt me
To despair.

Winnie the Pooh

I have a confession. Ok, not really a confession because just about everyone who actually knows me knows it and I am not ashamed of it, but.... I have an obsession, of sorts, with Winnie the Pooh! Yes, go ahead and laugh, but seriously, I kind of like him a lot (ok, not as much as Cowboys, but that is a different story). So my car has a little Winnie the Pooh hanging on the mirror and he basically is my friend that accompanies me on all my road trips and road adventures of getting lost (happens a lot). So, whether you like it or not this post is Winnie the Pooh quotes. I probably just scared away half my readers, but you know if you can't put up with my Winnie the Pooh obsession for just one day than that is really just too bad. Be thankful I did not decide to do a Seven Brides for Seven Brothers post instead. I would understand if you left me after that. That would be the testing of whether we are true friends or not, but this time I am just sticking with Winnie the Po...

Hidden Treasures From the Thrift Stores

I know it can be kind of discouraging for Christians girls, who really desire to dress modestly, to go shopping. Often times it is very hard to find something that is modest. Yet if you look hard enough, you can find the hidden treasures. One of my favorite places to buy clothes is at the thrift stores. That way I can get a good deal and there is also usually more of a variety. Therefore, today my mom, sister, and I went shopping and we're blessed to find two very nice (at least in my opinion), but also modest dresses. This is my dress. I am wearing a white t-shirt with it, because it only has straps. This is Priscilla's  dress. So my encouragement to ya'll girls out there trying to dress modestly: DON'T GIVE UP! There is modest clothing out there, it just might take a bit of searching. Also, don't forget to check out the thrift stores. That is where I find almost all of my clothes. People are all the time getting rid of their clothes that are in really...

What is your favorite spiritual book that you have ever read? 2. What is your favorite fiction that you have ever read? 3. What is your favorite biography or true story that you have ever read? 4. What is your favorite missionary biography that you have ever read? 5. Who are your three favorite authors? I would love to hear your answers to these questions, and it doesn’t really have to be your “favorite ever read book” just one that you really liked.
