I Love You

In my family we say I love you everytime we leave the house and at night before we go to bed. I leave the house a thousand times a day and I pretty much go to bed every night... you can imagine how many I love you's a person is throwing out all day.

I'm not saying that anything's wrong with that except that it loses it's special-ness, you may think (as I have) "what if that's the last time I see them" or "they might not know it if I don't tell them." That's why I think that I should show that person how much I love them through my actions. What is "I love you" going to be worth when I don't talk respectfully to mom when she's annoying me or when I'm not kind to Palal.

I'm always up for less talk, more action and I believe that's what I am feeling right now. Sometimes when I don't get the chance to tell mom I love her I quote Sid on Ice Age:   "Oh well, (shrug) she knows"
Bottom line (literally) show someone you love them first by your actions, then (even though they already know it) say it with words sometimes   :)  <3

= a couple random things =

What I look like when I'm mad (for those of you who don't know :)




My garden now... didn't really turn out the way I wanted, I'm thinking about starting over with some plants that can withstand the fall.  But, hey, the cornflowers are pretty!




                             I like this one. the leaves are pretty but I wouldn't call it a flower.


 I just turned 17 on the 13th and to celebrate I took a ride on this super cool Harley Davidson... (Just kidding the kickstand was up and we asked the owner to sit on it!)



               A new friend of mine. I saw this kitty on my way to visit a friend and managed to coax him to my house where I gave him a bowl of milk and then some cat food. He was very hungry.  I saw him again the next day and fed him again. Maybe he will be mine. I am calling him Kit-Kat.

"={practice} +"

It's not easy. Some people (like me) might make it look easy, but really, it's not. To step out and do what you feel God is telling you to do. To try being free is scary.

Some people never try... but if you have to, then you have to. We who live here in the village have it made. We are surrounded by people who love us and will not judge us as foolish when we step out but will rejoice when we do. Our friends will be encouraged because all the while they were waiting for US to step out first!! We have to! We have to try then we have to do it again and again! We have  to practice. Whatever God is asking you to do. What ever is your burden NOW, Dear Sojourners, Dear Messengers, Overcomers and Highlanders. Practice! Don't be afraid!! We are waiting for YOU!
