A prayer in the Spring


A Prayer in Spring
Robert Frost
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
To which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends he will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.

fatigue syndrome

Blogging. Blogging. Blogging. Blogging has been slightly hard for me to do lately. I have no idea why, it's not that anything interesting hasn't happened recently because there have been some great things but just nothing I feel I want to blog about. Probably just laziness. Well here's some fun facts for the day..
  • I made cookies before 10 a.m. today
  • We're most likely going to have another snow day
  • I wore my new scarf that Brad's grandma made me
  • I have a countdown for the next Bachelor show
  • and I love P90x

 Isn't is a lovely scarf? 
Well anyways, I've been going through fatigue syndrome due to all the snow days so I'm going to try and do something productive until bedtime. Maybe I'll read or do something fun with arts and crafts! Hmm.. I don't know but I will tell you this, it is very nice having my boyfriend back into my life. It was a very emotional time and felt like I was on a roller coaster the entire two weeks. My roommate said I went through the seven stages of death.. I sorta agree. Well that God that is over!

Goodnight friends and family!

well the weather outside is frightful..

Hi again! Well I just completed a fast which was extremely hard. I fasted for two weeks from Brad, facebook and tv so it is my job to catch you up with a few things! First, fasting from Brad was extremely difficult but the Lord was good and showed me many things and also allowed me to get closer to my roommates.. Here is one of the few pictures we took together..

Yes, we had tons of fun! This past week was a little insane with all of the snow! School was cancelled 4 our of the 5 days so I technicalled haven't gone to school for a week and a half!

This is the park right across my house, crazy I know. If you look really close into the picture, you can see people sledding. It's suppose to get like this again this week so hopefully the next picture will be of me sledding! 
Well after the two weeks were completed I went to Brad's house and found these waiting for me..

Aren't they beautiful? I loved them! We headed out to hang out with his family and had a blast! I made a homemade apple pie and we all ate delicious food together. Oh, here's my applie pie..

Can you see the little hearts I made in the pie? Well I know that was a little update on the past two weeks of my life but maybe next time I'll have a fun little story.. who knows!
