Heather: Defined

Photo by Sarah Plett Y esterday, I saw two of my good friends make a life commitment to one another. It was a beautiful ceremony, and God-honoring. Just today, I read Proverbs 31, where it speaks of The Wife of Noble Character. In reading this, I thought of Keslie, and what her new role is as a wife. She already was a woman of noble character, but now she is the "the wife". What joy she will find in doing so for the man God purposed for her! My heart is full of joy for them both! Proverbs 31:10-31 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a f

There is one part of being single that I find quite challenging. The waiting is hard; but the most challenging is the men in your life. Being single, as long as I have, I have found many a man that I have been interested in. They come.....and they go! They come into your life; you are attracted to them; you find them easy to talk to, and they have a great sense of humor; they love the Lord, so on and so on. These men are the one's you start thinking that this is the "one" you've been waiting for. Then you, either, lose interest in them because you found that they aren't exactly what you want; or they start dating or courting someone else, when you thought they were interested in you; or they are much younger than you and you can't wrap your head around being with them; or it's one of those men that you just can't get out of your mind, and it's the long drawn out process of liking them for so long that it will come to complete heartache, AGAIN! W

Yesterday, my mom and I went to run errands. My first stop was the Insurance company. While I was getting out of the car, my mom asked me what I was going to do there. I told her, "I'm going to pay for my health, and cancel my life." After I said it, it took a second to register what I said, and my mom and I died laughing! Hmmm, I never thought I would do that at the Insurance company!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I f that isn't a perfect proposal, I don't know what is!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introducing......... The White Dress! O n Saturday, we had the Robin Hood and Maid Marian Berry Thyme Ball! This ball was held in our local ballroom, which is rare. This ball seemed to me the best ever! I think it was the Ballroom atmosphere, with the decorations, the beautiful dresses and the *ahem* very handsome men. I believe my dress helped in how much I enjoyed this ball too, as funny as it sounds. It turned out great! I put some blood, sweat and tears into it. It was well worth the work to hear the compliments I got. Thank you, again, to the Plett's, for all your hard work in hosting these balls! And thanks to Laura for making those beautiful hair wreaths!! They were beautiful! Enjoy the pictures! I wish I took more, but I had to dance, right?! Laura K. in her beautiful dress! Doesn't she just look radiant?! Me and Laura K. Yes, I'm talking. I was trying to tell my mom how to take a picture with my camera. Alaina and Laura K. Maddy! I had made her and her si

T here is a friend who asked her friends, in her blog, about when they do their prayer and devotions, and how they go about it. This got me thinking of my own struggles, at times, when I don't take the time, in my day, to spend time with God. Those days I don't, my heart aches and hungers, it is disturbed, and it's hard to get through the day. Quite awhile ago, I wanted to start spending time with Him before my day starts. There are many men and women, that I know, that do just that. There are some that get up at 3 or 4 in the morning! What faithfulness! What devotion to God!! I sometimes wonder if I'm willing to do the same. I could easily say, no, that's just crazy, I rather sleep. But isn't that a bit selfish? Isn't it more important that your time is spent with God? I'm not saying that getting up that early is what we need to do to be truly devoted to God; but it's the willingness, the faithfullness, the hunger to be with God! "In the mor

T his is the second time I went to Camp Dwight, and enjoyed every minute! It's a chance to see old friends and make new one's; to grow closer in my walk with the Lord; lots of laughter; lots of talent; lots of good food!
