Summer is HERE!!

     Whew! I can't believe that it has been so long since I posted last. Almost an entire year! After what felt like forever, I have just finished my freshman year of college! Yes, I am 20 years old and I am just now a sophomore in college. After high school, I took a gap-year to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and where God wanted me to be. Fast forward to now,  I completed my last Final of freshman year on Tuesday! Although I have only been finished with school for only 5 days, my summer has been quite enjoyable. I hope yours is just as enjoyable as mine has been! Be on the lookout for delicious-tasting, creative, and cute ideas from Pinterest!
   

Just crocheted my first flower! I know that it has a few uneven stitches in it, but I still like it :)

Larger Tent

I read this quote today in my devotional book, and I thought I might share it:

    "The Old Testament kingdom of Judah needed a kick in the pants, a shot in the arm, a knock on the head. They had rebelled against God, for which God plainly and directly judged them through the prophet Isaiah and through foreign nations. They deserved to be scolded or punished, but God was wise then as He is now. He simply opened their eyes.
    'Your vision is too small because of your pain,' He said. 'You've  focused on your lack. Hang it all! Expand your tent pegs out a few notches and live as though you have it all. Because you do! You have My undying love. My forgiveness. My power. You have Me!'
    There are days when I need such a vision. I tire easily at times. And when I tire I want to go into my "tents" of pity and frustration and anger. My small tents are comfortable. Though they are dark and cramped, I feel a sense of comfort. But not for long.
    God desires my company under a larger tent that I might expand His kingdom with Him. As I do so, I find the fresh breeze of new strength to deal with my pity, frustration, and anger. I am renewed."

A Turner/Holmes/Griffin Thanksgiving

Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family. It was a blast!! I wish we could all get together more often!

My Sweetie

This is my cat Andie. Although this picture was taken over a year ago, it is still one of my favorites of her.

I Love My Dad!

      Happy Father's Day, Daddy!! I love you!

Purple Kool Aid!

    I'm a kid at heart. This does mean that even though I'm 19 years old,  I have been known to watch I-Carly every now and then. This also means that I still LOVE all the different flavors of lemonade and KOOL AID! Grape flavored kool aid is my favorite!
    This summer I am working at a day camp. Today for snacks, the kids had a choice of pink lemonade or purple kool aid. The purple kool aid got the most votes :)


PS: My blog website is currently under construction, so I'm sorry if things seem to be looking a little out of place. I've been working a lot lately, and so I haven't had time to do any blogging stuff.
