My life, as it happens

Just to get you thinking.

There are just some of my favorite quotes I've come upon in reading and other things and thought I'd share with you.
(Totally random but just a shout out to my friend Kelly who got her license! Congrats!!!)

Miracles and laws of nature
Suppose and apple falls from a tree. That illustrates the law of gravity. The apple will simply fall to the ground. However, what if I reached out and caught the apple before it hit the ground? Am I overturning the law of gravity? Am I negating the law of gravity? No, not at all. All I'm doing is intervening. And that's simply what God does when he performs a miracle. He doesn't suspend natural laws that govern the world or overturn them; he simply chooses to intervene. If he can intervene to catch an apple before it hits the ground, then certainly God can intervene in a similar way to accomplish what he wants to accomplish. - J.P. Moreland, Philosopher

Big Bang
Suppose you suddenly hear a loud bang...and you ask me "What made that bang?" and I reply, "Nothing it just happened." You would not except that. - Kai Nielson, Philosopher

Look at a day when you are supremely
satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it’s when you had everything to do, and you've done it.
-Margaret Thatcher
" Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a perfectly preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn out shouting "holy crap what a ride!" -Uknown

it's summer!

Well it's finally summer, schools out and the fun has begun. On Sunday I will be heading downtown for a week for a mission trip with my youth group. We are running a VBS for the kids of Living Hope Ministries and the kids in and around the neighborhood. I'm really excited to leave. We are basically running the whole stinkin' thing! We planned everything, we are the teachers, we do the craft, we give out fliers, we set up, we do everything!

I went to the orthodontist yesterday and Dr. Reese suggested that I do a program called SureSmile. It's a robot that basically bends the wire speciffically to my needs and speeds up the whole process, in most cases 40%!!! I can't really explain it so I'll just give you a link....actually I'm jsut to lazy to explain it so I'll give you a link! You can even see a video of the robot bending the wire!

This summer we will be going to family camp, God willing my dad keeps his job (which is sorta in question at this point) But that's not something I can do anything about so...I digress...
family camp will be fun and then we want to go camping with another family so it's gonna be fun!

Love Comes Softly

When I was in Texas, my grandma turned on the TV before bed and she turned to the Hallmark channel and Love Finds a Home was on, we caught the last ten minutes and then Love Comes Softly came on and I have fallen in love with those movies!!!! I'm going to read the books by Janette Oak and see the rest of the movies. I've seen number 1, 6, 7 and the ending of 8.
