The One Year Bible

This is such a great tool for a daily "quiet time"! I absolutely love it! It contains scripture reading for 365 days of the year. Each day you read a portion from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs. It's so nice because if you miss a day or decide to do it only on school days or whatever, you just find the date and start reading!

Yes! It's very beat up, Mom used it before me! :)

I have ALWAYS been here

My Eternal Bride,
I have always known you, always loved you, and always been with you. When you were formed, I was with you in your mother's womb. When you took your first breath, I was breathing through you. I know your past and I also know your future. I will walk you through every season of your life, My beloved. I am with you now in spirit. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am all your new beginnings and your endings. You are part of Me, My love. I am your eternal Husband who will give you your "Happily Ever After." I love you.
Love,
Your Prince
forever and always

From: His Princess Bride, Love Letters from Your Prince

It's so amazing to think that Jesus HAS always been with me, and He always will be! I highly recommend this book!

Pretty Pictures!

These are just some pictures of nature and "outdoorsy" things that I've taken!

~Pslam 19:1~

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Calico Captive

By Elizabeth George Speare!

Early one morning in the year 1754 the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, was shattered by shrill war whoops and the terrror of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day which had promised new happiness, found herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.

It was a harrowing march north. Miriam could only force herselft to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. What waits at the end of the trail-beside an Indian guantlet and a life of slavery?
