i’ll nevver understand how i didn’t enjoy this book when i had read it three and a half years ago. however, i have now reread this wonderful piece of literature, and besides Catcher In the Rye, i cannot recommend another book more! read it before you see the movie, and if you’ve already seen the movie go back and read it. this book is so vivid and wonderfully written. hats off to you, sir fitzgerald, your lyricism has stolen my heart. “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter-tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther….and one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” Thanks, Old Sport.

this is from the vbs i did right before 3rd grade…did elmer towns do EVERYTHING?!

I got this fortune durinng Christmas break. who knew that half way through the year I’d be reflecting on the truth of this! I can’t even begin to express my thankfulness for all the Lord has done, even though this past semester was ridiculously difficult. The Lord has proven Himself sovereign and faithful this semester. And He continues to bless me despite myself. He blesses because He is good. “Great is Thy faithfulness/ Morning by morning new mercies I see/ All I have needed Thy hand hath provided/ Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.”

starting off my morning write ;) writing letters to my pen pals! :) so excited to see what the Lord does through pen pal ministry! still willing to add more! just message me :) 1 timothy 1:12-17 #praiseHim
