Randomness
October 10, 2008 Well, my blogging hasn’t gotten off to a very good start! Maybe I can change that. 
My life has been extremely busy as of late. With school, piano, babysitting, and just life in general. Even with everything going on my mind has just been blank. I couldn’t think of anything worthwhile to blog about. So, here I am, blogging about nothing in-particular. Here are a couple topics. Enjoy! 
-Journaling
I hadn’t written in my journal for about a year until a couple weeks ago. Now I’m writing at least once a day, sometimes as many as 3-5 times. It’s a great outlet for me when things in my life are hectic, or I’m angry or scared about something. But it’s also nice to share what’s happening when everything is normal. My friends are very busy too, so my journal is always there to ‘talk’ to. I don’t have to plan a time to talk to it just to have the phone lines knocked out. 
It’s always there, and I’m hoping to have it filled by the end of this year.
I looked back at the beginning of my journal……WOW! It seems like I only wrote when I was upset about something, or extremely excited. It was like a roller-coaster ride. But seeing what I wrote then, showed me that I’ve grown up some in the last few years. Seeing how I responded to things in early 2007, and how I respond to them now. It encourages me to keep going. I couldn’t see the change as it was happening, but now I know that God has been working behind the scenes all along.
-Pictures
Here are a few pictures that were taken in August one morning when I went out to walk/jog. Everything seemed so pretty I had to get my camera.

- Pretty Sunrise

- Raspberriess From the Garden

- Pretty Flower!

- I’m pretty sure it is called a ‘Passion Flower.’ I found them growing back in the field.

There you go! It’s random but at least it’s a post!
God bless!

How peculiar- it was just last night that I was looking through my old diary. It was a birthday present when I was nine and I wrote off and on for a while. There was something about the notebook that I just couldn’t connect with. I’ve had a different notebook for more than a year, but as I was reading last night, I wrote a final entry to close it.
You are most certainly in my prayers and those are some pretty flowers!!
The journal I am writing in now is like the 3rd or 4th one that I started but it will be the first one that I fill up. I filled up five pages this morning so I may need a new one before I know it!
Thanks for the comment Maria!

I’d find one and mail it to you…
Pretty pretty!
And you have said exactly how I’ve been feeling about my journal. I’m on my…4th…journal. Started it this summer, but it’s already over half full! I’ve been writing tons. What’s frustrating is that I often go back and read things from a while ago, and feel guilty that I’m not exactly like I was then. Because I’m different, in a way. But then I see how that’s just growth, and change, a good thing, and that’s okay too. Hmmm…now I’m rambling. Maybe I need to go write in my journal.
Hugs! (and you can call me ANY time, you don’t have to set anything up.
