New bangs; Hmm...

So....I got bangs about a month ago. I know, I am a slow blogger. = ) But I thought I would still do a short post on it as it's something new. I haven't had bangs since I was three so it's totally new and different for me.

                                     I like this one. It's bright and different.

I like them, (the bangs) and as usual I went through a few days of love them, don't like them, love them, don't like them. I think everyone does with a hair cut. Right?

Some of you may not know but I am the Queen of pictures. You know the saying that they used to put on the back of chip bags?  "I bet you can't eat just one!" Well that's me with pictures. I can't take just one picture! Grrrrr!!!
Then I think about the one family picture you see of you great, great Grandma's family and it's discolored and little blurry. But you can see them all just fine! And you don't need a milion pictures to show you what they looked like, do you? No, so we all should be very thankful for all the pictures we can take all the time; with our camera's, phones, Ipods, Ipads, computers, and whatever else! = )

 With that, you can look at the million pictures of me. = )

    Self portrait!

Then I decided to throw in some pictures of before I had bangs. Last January I got side bangs and those were the ones that started this whole bang thing. Those bangs were technically the firsts ones.

 

 

 

Here you can see the side ones, which are already starting to grow out so they are longer.

Anywho! 

Ya'll have a great day!

And remember, you don't need to take a million pictures! Please remind me that too! Often! Please.

The Joy Of The Lord Is Our Strength

                                                    The joy of the Lord is our strength. 
                                                    I love that saying...and the verse.

 I found this little plaque at a garage sale and I think it's one of the best finds ever!
I have the saying- The joy of the Lord is our strength- on a piece of paper on my wall. (I think that saying is from a song.) When I found this I was so excited! And guess how much it was?
Go ahead, guess!


25.!! Yes, twenty-five cents! So cool!

 I hope that you are all getting your strength from the Joy of the Lord!
Because I know that I am!!


One thing that I wanted to share with all of you was, to find and get the joy of the Lord, you need to be in God's Word. I know that it is a huge blessing to me to read God's Word each and every day and it is a special gift from Him (the Bible) that we need to cherish. We can grow so much by reading His Word, learn so much about Him....AND, find His joy and peace.
Truly, there is nothing more important in this life than the Lord. Serving Him and being in His Word should be the top most thing in our life. More then our familys, sisters, brothers, spouses and anything else that would take God's place as more important then Him.
That means staying up late and reading the Bible because you didn't have a chance during the day or spending that extra couple minutes, before your test, in prayer instead of sitting there worrying.
The Lord cares about you and hears you when you cry out to Him for His Joy and peace.
The Lord has given me His true peace and Joy, and I do dearly hope that you have accepted the same gift from Him.

Thanks for stopping by and reading my ramblings. Please feel free to share how the Lord has blessed you with His joy and peace in different situations.

Have a blessed day!
