{Risk}

.Bold.

.Courage.

.Strength.

.Impact. 

.Risk.

Some of the most beautiful words, to me. 

Why? God keeps pushing me to the limit. 

He keeps showing me, "Hey you, I have a bigger plan for you."

So I'm trying to listen. So I can be bold in what He wants me to say.

So I can have courage to step out on a limb.

So I can have the strength to carry His word.

So I can make the impact in just one person's life.

I'll have to risk all to do all this. 

But if I risk. I'll lose nothing. 

I'll need to give Him everything. 

I know He won't let me fail.

I stole this quote from my sister's blog.

To Risk

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and
dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing.

– William Arthur Ward (1921-1994)

Beautiful. It sure is. I read that and it inspired me incredibly much.

Then I found this verse on a friends facebook the other day. This verse. My oh my, it inspired me even more.

Will YOU be one of "These that have turned the world upside down.."—Acts 17:6?

Will I be one of them?

Will I change the world?

I wanna turn it upside down.

But to do that, I need to risk.

I'll need to give up everything.

Let it all go.

Then God will do His perfect work.

{Summertime}

Ohh my, it's summertime already again. :) This excites me.

Summertime means: picnics, swimming, tans, snowcones...yeahh, I love summer. :) 

It's my favorite time ever. 

Plus, country summers are even better.

:)

I bought some new running shoes. :) 

And I love them so much. So much, that I want to go running all the time.

I've already showed them off on facebook. 

I'd like the whole world to be aware of my new shoes. ;)

:)

Ahhh, excuse my ramblings, I'm just out of things to blog these days.

Sooo, guess that means I'm done here for today...

Ohhhh myy myy myyy. I haven't blogged in foreverrr...quite obviously...there's reason. At least for the last two weeks...I was in Dallas visiting my sister, and didn't really have much computer access at all... and before that...I'm as lame as a blonde joke in the excuse department...

Anyways...I need something interesting to say...do I not? Oh yes I do...
So I've told everybody and their pet birdie, that I'm going to basketball camp next week. And I'm just a little more than excited. Ok. I'm super excited. I can't wait. It's gonna be so hardcore. Let's hope I don't die of suicides. Oh my, that's the only thing I really dread...

On another basketballin' note. Celtics tied up the series by winning game four last night. So the Celtics and Lakers are tied in the NBA playoffs finals... Oh yeah. You could probably care less. So I usually don't talk to people about it, but that excites me too. :) Ohh yeahh. Cause all along, from the very beginning...I've been cheering those Celtics like no one's business. So yeahh buddy. Thanks for listening to my basketball ramblings...I'll go on to things you think bigger and better...

Hmmmm, so our family is finally going on vacation again. :) excitement much. We're going to some countrified water park hotel in Missouri. With lots and lots of entertainment. Oh yeah. haha. We're even going to a country comedy show. Ha! It's gonna be good.

So Whit showed me this hilarious video on youtube. It cracks me up..it's call Jessica's Daily Affirmation. This little girl is great. Ha. She cracks me up. I should be as positive as her in the mornings...

Anyways...I will be blogging more often. I will... :)
