"Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use." -Unknown

Hmm. Where to begin. I have not posted recently and must make an amendment to my original claim of writing one post per week, though it pains me to do so. It is simply too much, and I do not have time. Instead, I will try to afford monthly editions with lots of pictures and stories.

The start of the new year has provided a surprising lack of interest. Our Winter Break was a smooth quiet one, and since then, we have been reassuming schedule and order. One thing of great excitement did occur, and it was easily the best day of the new year so far. We went to a bookstore that was going out of business! Every book was ten cents! I got 60. They are amazing.

I just finished Drivers Ed, so that's new!

Oh, and the 22 Father Daughter Ball was last night! On the right is a picture that I took, completely unaltered. Pretty! :)

Anyhow, this will be a short post, and here are some pictures of those books!
The messy-ness of a bookworm 

Love that one!



Green-backed books are becoming my favorite!


A Cool one :) 

Cool really old ones!

This one is probably my favorite of the bunch. I just wished that my family could follow 1923 etiquette.

Here is one with more of my books in it. 

Sincerely,

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
