An Introduction of the Most Interesting Sort

-
In every post (I hope to post at least once a week) I will begin with a quote that seems to fit the time. Here is the first one:
"Novelists should never allow themselves to weary of the study of real life." -Charlotte Bronte

I am starting this blog to track and remember several things, first; I will record my life story from fifteen to nineteen years old. This reason is that of something I once heard, which I believe was from the Anne of Green Gables books which said that fifteen to nineteen were the best years of a girls life. It feels strange to be this old because I always thought of that line and of being "mature" or "grown up."  Second, because my family is adopting four kids from Bulgaria and they will be here by August 1st. I think that this topic will be something of interest to readers, as it is rather unusual for a family to do that, just like that. I will be recording conversations, anecdotes, and things like that which will, I hope, interest my readers. The third reason for writing this blog is so I can improve my writing skills in general. I hope to become an author, and I have heard many say that a blog is a perfect way to do that. It is my hope that this blog will keep me writing, and will also improve my writing. I will also be posting things about my books, short stories, and such. As the quote says, a writer should never tire of real life, and I am using this blog to mainly record my life. That is all for now,

A Posture of Surrender

 " All to Jesus, I surrender //  All to Thee I freely give //  I will ever love and trust You //  In Your presence daily live" - Don Moen Every day in recent months my prayer to God has consistently included these words, "God, I surrender everything to you. I surrender the people I love, the relationships I have, the stress I feel about my responsibilities, the unknown future before me, negative memories from the past, my life, and all my devotion to You. Use me for your glory and purpose and take away from me what is not my best. I come before you with open hands, eager to lay it all at your feet, and trusting you to give me the things you know that I need." This process of continual surrender has helped me to always remember that every good thing is a gift from God, as it says in James 1:17, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."

"Every night I lie in bed  The brightest colors fill my head  A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see  A million dreams is all it's gonna take  A million dreams for the world we're gonna make." -The Greatest Showman  Sitting on the porch at twilight, the summer wind wafting through the trees, and the last rays of deep sun silhouetting the trees, I write. I'm rather tired, to be honest. My kitten is demanding my attention, and I can't seem to find a comfortable position for writing this. There. Pride and Prejudice piano airs are smoothing my nerves.  Last week I went on a Mission Trip to the Native American Reservation up in Okanogan and we did a "VBS" for the kids up there. It was my third year doing that. Every year there are new things that happen while I'm there, and I learn a lot.  So much has gone on in our family that I barely know where to begin. I would rathe

Coffee and Summer

"The noblest art is that of making people happy." - P. T. Barnum A lot has been going on recently. School is almost over, and all of my stressful/exciting events have already happened. It was a hurricane last week, and this week it is only a misty breeze(well, except that it's like a thousand degrees outside). I joined a choir called Encore, and that has been great. We sang songs from The Greatest Showman, which I LOVE, Dear Evan Hansen, and a medley of Irving Berlin's songs as well. It was really neat to be a part of show choir because there was just so many talented people that we had an amazing time just singing and dancing. I will never forget it! School is all done except for Chemistry, which I am still finishing up, and I look forward to a full summer of excitement. It's hard to believe, but it has almost been a whole year since I started this blog! One of the five years down, four to go! Hooray! Plus, when I am sixteen, I will have my driver's lic
