Damsel No Longer Distressed.: Spring

Purity.

She made a gurrr sound and said: "...My hair is my glory!" as if she was charging someone. :)

Soft.

Gentle.

Blissful.

lovely.

Peaceful.

Restful.

Beautiful.

The color white is one of my favorites. I think it's beautiful. It represents purity and cleaness. Brides always wear white, even if they're not pure or clean. I think it's beautiful to see a bride that has white robes of righteousness on the inside and then represents that on the outside. I wore a white robe to get baptized. The Holy Spirit is represented by a white dove. Isn't it so fun to see crisp white sheets on the line flowing in the spring breeze? The first white snowfall takes just takes your breath away. White vanilla ice cream in the heat of the summer is simply happy.White whipped cream on top of anything makes it better. White is my favorite color to wear right now. Totally white outfits or white with a bright spring color. I dream of creating a totally white room. White is light. It seems to glow. I want my heart to be white. I want my life to represent the beauty and purity of white. I want to glow in brightness like the color white.

....Though our sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow. (If you know the reference, let me in on it! :))

Thank You Lord...
For atmosphere. If you eat a delicious meal on a paper plate, vs. a china plate, does it change the taste? This is a controversial subject between me and my oldest brother. He doesn't totally disagree with me, just gets a kick out of heatedly discussing such subjects with me! I would say that the actual flavor doesn't change, but it does affect how special I feel. Paper plates are one of men's very wise inventions for busy days. But I think we skip out on so much enjoyment in our lives because we are trying to be practical. Is it OK not always to be practical? :) My dad is a very practical man, my mother, is more of the spontaneous, "if it's fun, cram it in" type of person. But both have the Spirit, and a family, so my dad gives up his "practicalism"for the sake of us children or his wife, and my mom gives up her "fun" for our "fun" and her spontaniousisem to be practical so she can service her busy days. To get to my point, we can't always create a beautiful apmosphire, but we often miss easy ways to do so. The King is my brother, I am a princess, so sometimes it's fun to treat yourself in little ways outwordly, how you know you are inwordly.

This is actually kind of a strange picture! :) During a service in P.A. I went down stairs boiled myself some water (personaly think that's more authentic then a microwave.:), turn off the flouresent ligts, light a candel, got my Bible and journal and had myself a special little moment! :) It wasn't the rits, but it was special to me that night. There is something about preparing that God has put into us. We are prepaing to be his bride, and I enjoy living that out phiscailly sometimes, to renew myself ourwordly, how God continually does inwordly. To take time to make a small moment speical. And then also be willing to not always have everything special, becasue life is life, right? IT's not Heaven...YET. :)

For sunlight and little sisters who want their pictures taken in it.

For brothers who will glady pose for pictures like such:

For Jesus, for dying for my sins. For Easter ( I know, a bit late for this :))

This was a spare of the moment special Easter supper.

Washing of the feet.

Reading of the Word.

For Spring!

Let me talk about the gentelman in the blue for just a bit. :) (below.) His moto is: "Keep it fresh, and natural." :) Somehow we have often get pared up for the job of making our parents bed out in the motor home after we return home and wash the sheets. He always demands that the pillows be casually thrown on the bed for a "natural look". :)I let him have his moment, then change the pillows myself! :) lol. The other week we were doing the Coffee Shop Skit. Well, as I would be talking seriously in the skit, he would be wispering hilaious things, sarcasticly making me feel like he cared about what I or someone else was saying in the skit. " Oh really, wow, I was just going to say that." Well, he got to me that night , I literally LOL. Maybe I just had the giggles that night too. :) Later, well having a very...um...serirous discussion about his auctions, he explained to me that he was just trying to keep it "fresh". :)I acted as if I was upset at him (laughing as I was doing this), but I had such a blast that night druing ths skit, he makes me laugh, in his own "fresh" way! :) So heres him being "fresh and natural." ;)
