Blog thoughts

I 've been thinking about the question I asked you all in my last blog post. Here's what I decided and why.

I decided not to start a new blog. My blog title is 'Friends, Family, (and) Fun Forever'. I thought through and decided what to do about certain subjects/ideas/activities.

• Pictures ~ Pictures show what my family (and friends) and I have been having fun doing! Therefore, pictures are good.
• Music ~ Who doesn't have fun listening to music! It's fun, therefore it counts! Also, if I don't post a song that's 'fun', it should glorify God, therefore, I'm going to count it. :)
• Hair ~ I've thought about this one a lot this week too. I enjoy doing my hair (and my sisters' hair), therefore, it's fun. I haven't shared any hair pictures in the past, but I have several to share. For the reason stated above, I've decided to start sharing some hair pictures. (Oh la la!)
• Writing ~ I have shared some of my writing before. I have decided that I have two reasons for doing so. Number one, I have fun doing it, and number two, it's a blog. Blogs are for writing. Need I say anymore on that topic? I think not.

I think that's about all that I've done in the past/ thought about doing.

A note about music, I originally started the Sunday series for sharing worship songs. All the songs that I've shared have been Christian, and glorify God, but I feel that some of them haven't been technically worshiping. Rephrasing.. they glorify God, and therefore are worshipful, but aren't necessarily worshiping.

That being said, I am going to try to do a better job about making sure the songs I share on Sunday are worshiping God. Also, I am going to start a new series to share songs that still glorify God, but are either more on the fun side, or have messages that are meant more as a reminder to us.

I hope that all makes sense... :) If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to comment below! Tell me what your thoughts are!

Love,
Rebekah

Currently for 9.14.13

First of all, I didn't do the currently post on Saturday for a few reasons. I was just going to leave it as not done, with no explanation, but I thought about it some more, and decided that I changed my mind. 
So with out further ado, my reasons, procrastinated-ideas, excuses, whatever-you-want-to-call-them's.

1. School, school, school. NO further comment...
2. I didn't watch anything. Except for Cheaper By The Dozen! Sorry, I forgot that one! (Got the hint? That one)
3. I (believe it or not) didn't read anything. And, yes, you read that correctly. I read nothing! (For those of you who want to be technical {because I know some people like that} no free reading books. Math lessons, and science text-books, and street signs don't count!)
4. Because if you know me well, you won't believe reason 3(Yes, I'm still choosing to call them reasons), I didn't do any free reading! And I have a lame legitimate excuse. I'm on the forth book in the series that I'm reading. (On as in ready to start) And I cheated (Yes, it is possible) and kind of skimmed ahead, just enough to know that the chapter was really sad. Now, since I knew/know that, I knew/know that I would/will (No, I'm not sure which tense to use) not be able to stop after just the first chapter, so I couldn't/won't start the book, with out knowing that I have plenty of time to read as much as I want to of the book, before I go to sleep.

 So, after a long excuse explanation, you know why I didn't do a currently post this past Saturday. And, just so I'm caught up on my excuse making, I will be very busy this Friday and Saturday, so I most likely won't do a currently post this week either. (And I haven't read anything, and the only thing I've watched was a Doctor Who that {believe it or not} I didn't really like.) (Yes, I like using parentheses.)

Hopefully get some reading done, and some movie-watching done, and some school!

Love,
Rebekah

Update and Preview

Okay, I know I gave you a preview, and I know that the Peanut Butter Bars look (and tasted) so good, but due to no editing program on my computer, and finicky cameras, and school, and field trips, the post is not finished. My apologies. Really, I am sorry!

About those field trips.. we went to see some sites when a friend came to visit, so look for pictures of Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore, and Crazy Horse, coming soon. Soon as in before next year if you are lucky when my schedule and technology permits. But, I won't leave you with nothing!!!

 

 

Custer State Park (Day 1)

Custer State Park (Day 2)



Wild donkey. These things stand on the road waiting for food. They stick their heads in your car window! They follow your car when you drive past! :)



Those brown dots are buffalo.

 

Yes! Silly pictures in the car!!! ( It kept me from feeling sick. Don't ask.)

 



 

Mount Rushmore!

 



 And me! You can't get any better!!! 

Working on the posts,
And school,
And chores,
And life...

Hope you enjoy!
Love,
Rebekah

Update and Poem

Okay, really, I PROMISE!!! I have been working on new posts!!! They just aren't ready yet. Still. Yes, I know, lame excuse, but, my excuse none the less.

So, since I haven't posted anything lately, and posting only the above is even lamer than my excuse, I've decided to share a poem with you that I wrote a while back.

 

Friends

July 13, 2013

Friends who laugh,

Friends who cheer,

Friends who cry,

Friends so dear.

 

Friends who throw,

Friends who catch,

Friends who are

the best-est batch.

 

Friends who run,

Friends who fall,

Friends who talk,

and love to call.

 

Friends who photo,

Friends who blog,

Friends with cats,

Friends with dogs.

 

Friends who bake,

Friends who eat,

Hanging-out's

the biggest treat.

 

Friends who dance,

Friends that don't,

Friends that play,

Friends that won't.

 

Friends I love,

Friends I miss,

Friends remember,

Times of bliss.

 

 

We are beginning to start school tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I'll post next, but hopefully it will be soon! And I really wanted the poem in the middle, but it just won't cooperate!

 

Love,

Rebekah



Well...

Well, so far I haven't posted much because,
1. I'm still getting used to it, and
2. I've been working on a few things, but they're not ready yet, and
3. I haven't really done anything worth posting about. :)

I shall continue working, and hopefully, I'll have something up soon!!!!
(Keep your fingers crossed and pray, really, really hard!)

Trying Really Hard,
Love,
Rebekah

“I'm trying as hard as I can, and sometimes things don't go your way, and that's the way things go.” "Supposing you have tried and failed again and again. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call "Failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down." ~ Mary Pickford

 

My first post

Well, this is my first post. I'm eager to share more with all of my friends and family! I shall try my best to keep up with this blog, but we'll see how life goes! :) I can't wait to explore more! I hope everyone who views this blog will enjoy it and see God through me and my family.
Looking forward to the times ahead,
Rebekah
