Living Life :D

Rejoice in the little things in life. :)

 Painting my nails. Yes, these are my feet and yes, organge is the random color of choice. Random!

 Reading (the left is highly amazing!!!)

My favorite passage.

And oh yes. I found this on Stumbleupon I guess it's from South Korea.(?) I'm blown away!-inspiration for the future? At least for the kids section. So cool!!!

Way to build confidence?

Maybe I'm just making too big a deal out of this. Some people might say that it doesn't matter as long as kids are reading, but here goes. So, I'm sitting in the elementary school lobby and I see a poster in the window for the book fair. I take a closer look and three out of the four books advertised have "down grading" titles. "Loser list" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". I get that these characters are trying to portray real school life, but couldn't the fair have picked a few more different titles for a variety of books? (Yes, I have read Diary of a Wimpy Kid and it's actually really funny- although I don't always agree with the Wimpy Kid's actions 100% of the time, but that's a different subject to argue.) I just have to wonder if schools and authors really want to eliminate bullying and build self confidence, if this is the best way to be getting kids to read.

Spark, boom, change!

He's done it again. How can I describe just how thirsty I am for knowledge? The main theme in these past few weeks (maybe even years) has been that God is showing me something new to learn everyday. It can be about something small, or it can be something major. This week is missions week and in the mallway there is a table set up for study abroad programs in Lithuania. *spark* I'm supposed to be learning about Romania right? Maybe, but I'm keeping my mind open. I really want to read more about this country (don't ask me why it sounds more interesting than any other) However, just like the lack of books on Romania, there seems to be a lack of books on Lithuania. Ironic or not? The good news is that even though I didn't find a book on Lithuania in the school library, I found one on Estonia. (Close, right? Maybe? Not really?) I just want to read all day but I have so much homework to do!!!! Currently the other books I'm reading are:
Life Principles for the Graduate (Charles Stanley)
Lies Young Women Believe (Dannah Gresh and Nancy Leigh DeMoss)
Why Pro-Life? (Randy Alcorn)

So, I guess the first step is to just go to the booth tonight and ask for some information...*Boom*
