friendships found anew

so today I went our with my dad to do some work and enjoy a coffee from this really quaint little coffee shop called the Coffee Factory. I absolutely love this place and enjoy coming here. Its a place where I've found I can just sit and enjoy... theres something thats just very, calming. the smell of coffee, the soft music playing, the murmur of people talking... im not quite sure what it is but I know that I love it. Anyways, I was sitting reading a book and trying to focus in to finish up my work, but I'd been there for hours already and was beginning to lose focus on what i was working on. So I was looking out the window at the clouds full of rain drooping about to empty themselves onto the world, and I see a friend who I havent seen in years! So we chatted for a little bit and caught up. Its funny how God knows when we need a pick-me-up, exactly when we need it.

a fiery new england sunset...

so during my 17 years of living in new england, i have realized that this part of the country has some pretty spectacular sunsets that are full of invigorating shades of oranges,yellows,pinks, purples and blues... it is absolutely breath-taking. what an amazing Creator we have!
Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of the God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands."

the accident

well, today was interesting... First accident. Thankfully, nobody was injured and my car had little damage... as for the other,smaller car.. now thats a different story here are a few pictures of the cars and my broken axle.. God was definitely in charge, and I am so glad that He is and always will be!

beautiful

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful
I see Your face, I see Your face
I see Your face, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful

say what you feel
because those who mind,
don't matter

my blogging days have begun!

So i decided that I'd make a blog so that those who want to follow me can! I'll try to update it as often as I can, which should be at least once a week... or so=] With this New Year have come many things, more challenging things at school, friends leaving for college,getting ready to move. Its been a fun experience so far, hopefully the Lord will give me many more joyful memories! As last year ended and this year began I started realizing a little bit more everyday what an awesome God we have. He always provides, His timing and plans are perfect(although we may think that it isn't at times), He loves us unconditionally. Its pretty cool. One of my new favorite passages in the Bible is Job 38 where God is talking to Job about everything He has created and as this year began and the snow started to fall,the night skies glittering like they were filled with diamonds and rain droplets hanging onto leaves on those "to warm for snow days", I was reminded of these verses," "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail,which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm,to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew?From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavenswhen the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?"Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? can you loose the cords of Orion?Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons ^d]">or lead out the Bear with its cubs? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?"Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'?Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind? Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together? "
We have an awesome God, and we need to remember that he is in control no matter what happens this New Year!
