I've decided to {take y'all's advice and}change it to Music Monday instead of having it on Wednesdays. :)
'Kay, here you go!

Emii's post 'bout living in faith

Hey girls, I just read something over at Emii's blog and I wanted to share it with you just in case you haven't all ready followed her :)

I don't know what to call this post because my titles are always the same and this isn't the same 

'Kay that was all, I just really liked it :)

Oct. Challenge

Heya girlies! After lots of prayer about this, I've decided to give up romance novels for the month of October. All. Even Christian ones {not that I read many non-Christian ones...}. I was hoping that I could count on you all to keep me accountable. Just leave a comment and ask how I've been doing with it. Because, you see, most of the books I read are romance books. Just remind me ever so often. :)

If any of you want to join in, {please,please,please!!!!} just leave a comment and let me know :)


Thanks, all and Happy October!!!

Jane Austen Character quiz!

 

I am...Catherine Morland!

You are Catherine Morland of Northanger Abbey! You love a good Gothic romance - so much, in fact, that you'll fool yourself into thinking you're living one! You are imaginative and naive, which is at once endearing and perplexing. Perhaps your heart is TOO pure...but it is adventurous. After all, you love a trip to Bath or a stay at an ancient Abbey.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, I'm not too sure about th accuracy of this quiz ;)  
*I don't believe I've ever actually read a Gothic romance...
*Also, I like to think I can descerne the real world from my imagination :)
*I am rather imaginative at times, though I'm not very naive....though I guess sometimes I can be.
*I don't know if there even is such a thing as too pure a heart <3
*Adventurous? Ehhh...No.
*Actually I prefer showers...just kidding. I've never been to Europe so....

I got the idea to do this quiz from Rebekah Brielle at It's a Love Story. {Yeah, I know, awesome name:) }
If ya want to take the quiz, if you haven't already, {seriously, I feel like the last person to do it; everybody else has it on there blogs:P} it's here at http://www.strangegirl.com/emma/quiz.php!

Good day, to you! {said in a very bad fake British accent}

Ps:I'm feeling rather British at the moment :)

Colossians 2:13-14

When you were stuck in your old sin-dead life, you were incapable of responding to God. God brought you alive—right along with Christ! Think of it! All sins forgiven, the slate wiped clean, that old arrest warrant canceled and nailed to Christ's cross.  (The Message) {the italics are my own}

I don't often use The Message version, but I liked these verses best in this version. :)

Have a good day, girlies!

Question

Okay, so, as the title suggests, I have a question.
 How do you put other's blog buttons on your page?
Okey-dokey, that's all!!!

Recipe Find

Heya girls! Check out this recipe, it is soooo good. Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies. They're kind of fluffy and cake-like rather than cookie like, but they are sooo good....if you like pumpkin that is....
In mine, I don't put the nuts, and I put 4 drops of red food coloring in the batter to make the cookies orange. Oh, and I also put in about a teaspoon of nutmeg. 

Okay, that's all!!!

{Oh, and that pic isn't mine, I got it off the website:}

I couldn't come up with a good name for this...

Hey, so I was thinking of  posting a music video/ lyric video up here on Wednesdays... What do you think? And also, what should I call it?   ....I'm sorry dear followers if I'm  depending too much on you to be naming things for me. :P


                                                           Anyway, here's the first video. :)

One of my favorite songs. :) 

Dear Photograph :)

So, I was thinking, {*gasp*} should I change the blog's name?

I was also thinking of  giving it a makeover.

So what do you think? Any name suggestions? Because, seriously, I have none.

                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                                         Isn't that so cute?

                        Aww...the Dad pushing a stroller :)  Weren't the strollers back then just so cute?

               This one isn't really the best one or one of my favorites,but I put it on here because it's so funny. :)
        So, those pictures are all from a really cool website called Dear Photograph.
Go ahead, click on the link, check it out.....You know you want to. :)

                                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay,  so I haven't been able to find the little part in John that I was talking about earlier, but maybe one of you can help me? In fact it may not be in John after all....I don't have a very good long term memory. :P 

                                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, have a good rest of the day, girlies, and may God be with you. :)

Ps: Please comment, I really like 'em!

                                           

Just, well, sort of random stuff....

Hey Girls, I'm back!!! At first, I had decided to stop blogging, but then when I started my "Goodbye" post, I just couldn't make myself post it. Well, that, and the fact that I HAVE TWO NEW FOLLOWERS!!!! (Thanks so much, Annie Lauren and Rebekah Brielle!!!)  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, what do you think of the new Blogger look? To tell you the truth,* I don't really like it. But, I'm going to try it for a while to see if I warm up to it. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you ever have trouble reading your Bible? I do. Not really with getting myself to read it, but instead when I'm reading it. I can never just focus on one specific book of the Bible...{well, I guess it's not that much of a problem :P} Like for example last night, I had asked Jesus who He wanted me to show His love to this week. I immediately thought of my family; they're all hurting in some way, and I know they just want some lovin'. :)

 So I remembered this one passage in John where Jesus was surrounded by his disciples and some of His closest followers, and Mary (Jesus's mother) and one of His brothers came near. Jesus's friends said something along the lines of, "Jesus, your family is here." And Jesus replied with something close to, "You're my family." 

Instead of finding that I got sucked into different passages of Mark (awesome books by the way :). I never found that passage. (But, I will tonight,, and I'll post  it tomorrow. But if any of you know it, will you pretty please post it?:) 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, what are ya'll (I'm not really from the South, I just like using that word at every possible time :) reading in the Bible? What've you learned about Jesus thus far {I like saying that too!}in your life? I really do want to know....I also want comments :) Tell me if you want me to do something different on here :)

 Okay, fare thee well, God bless!

*I know that phrase can annoy people sometimes, so I try not to use it.

*SIGH*

Well, It's happened. I've jumped on the Mr. Darcy band-wagon. I just got finished watching the 2008 version of Pride and Prejudice. And let me tell you, IT. WAS. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!  All I can do right now is sigh. And smile. Oh, yes, lots of smiling. :)
                                                                                 *****
                                                                                 *****

                                                                             (Sigh)
                                                            I do believe I'm in love.


Well that's all, sorry for the short post, FAREWELL!!!!!!!!

Think lil' kid

Hey Girls! Yes, I know I've been gone for, like, a month...{SORRY!!!} But, my excuse is that I've been busy with visiting family and such.  Okey dokey, on to the...uh...post!!!
                                     ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Okay, so, I've been reading through the book of Luke. I don't really know what exactly I should post about except for that fact that it should have something to do with something happening in Luke.  
                                    
    *skimming through the book* 

     *still skimming*
AHAH!!!!! I've found the passage on which I will give you my opinion on.
Now they were bringing even infants to Him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to Him, saying, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you,  whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it." Luke 18: 15-17

I don't know about you, but whenever I read this little passage, I get the feeling that Jesus must have really liked little kids.  And whenever I get that feeling, I start to grin, because there's something just so exciting and swoon worthy thinking of Jesus with a bunch of little kids climbing on Him and playing with Him. :D 
Now these verses can be kind of confusing sometimes. Like, what did Jesus mean about us receiving the kingdom of God like a little kid would...? Little kids are imaginative and they believe anything they're told. They believe in magic, without question. When they go to Sunday School, they here about Jesus and all the "cool" miracles He did, and they don't doubt for one second that it's not true.  So, I don't think Jesus meant that we should be immature, but that we should, instead, think like a little kid.

And thank you,Prism, for following!!!!!!!

New post coming soon!

Hey, girls! I'm working on a new post at the moment but it's getting to be kind of hard, because, well, it's pretty much directed right towards me! So, yeah, I could use some prayer for me to be able to finish the post and to let God teach me something through it. {I'm pretty hard headed, so that's gonna be a big job ;)}

Soooo....I'll tell you what I've been doing this week . WARNING: The following content may bore you to death....YOU"VE BEEN WARNED!!!
Well, to start off, I'll tell you that I won't be able to get on here on the  weekends, sometimes an entire week, due to traveling and other stuff. {Yep, other stuff. Doesn't that sound so exciting? :P}
ANYWAY....
Well, the other day me and my sibs went to the doctor.  And guess what I found out!!!!! Wait for it-  I'm perfectly healthy!!!!!   Yes, I know, you girls were so worried about me. :)      
 After the doctor, we all went grocery shopping. which let me tell you, is immensly  {can you sense the sarcasm?} fun when my younger sibling is there. Basically all we heard was, "Are we finished yet?" "My legs are SO tired!!!" "I'm really hungry, can we go now?!!"     So, ....yeah. Aren't you jealous???

Okay, so, umm, that's really all I have to say. So, just listen to this song, it's pretty awesome. :)

Don't 'cha just love it!?

Oh, and thanks Z

                                                                                 

                                                                         For following me!  :)

Keep on praying and don't lose heart!

I pray that my children will always pray, and NOT LOOSE HEART.    Luke 18:1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I guess that was Luke speaking there. He writes that we should not give up with praying; even if we should, say, get bored with it or if we just feel like God's not there or something. Two other verses that go along with this one is:  With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. Ephesians 6: 18  and   1Thessalonians 5:17  Pray without ceasing. {Yep, it's a short one, yet to the point :D} They all basically mean to tell you to just keep on praying.  Through thick and thin, just stay with Jesus, and He'll get you through whatever's happening.

Don't lose heart! I put those words in caps because I think those are some pretty significant words. "Don't lose heart, Trinka!" I feel like Jesus is whispering those words to me right now as I write this . I feel kinda nervous starting this blog off, but I know the Lord will help me. I'll keep praying and I won't lose heart.

Thanks Sierra for following!

Hello, dear followers of which I have none!

Hello! So, I have no followers as of yet, (that could have something to do with the fact that I have not told anybody that I've made this blog....) but, I hope that I will soon have at least 1 or 2 so that I can maybe be able to help and encourage them through this here little blog. Now I will go and edit some more things on here before I share this with the world!  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.  Mark 16:15
(Isn't it cool how that verse kinda fits? .....emphasis on the kinda...)
