My Adventures on Our Girls Date in Quaint Rocky Mount

How happy I was to receive an email from my friend Amanda, asking if I would be available to spend a couple hours the next day with her while she was in town. (She lives a ways from our little town and makes a big trip when she comes.) 
And with her son Levi spending the day with Grandpa, and little baby Opal with Grandma, we girls had a lovely girls date:) 

I was glad to have Sadie take our picture since Amanda is always behind the camera;) 
Rocky Mount is a quaint old town with lots of history behind it. We enjoyed looking at the old buildings. 
And we stopped by a little shop in town called "The Daily Grind" and got some sandwiches and soup for lunch, Which were quite delicious! 
And of course we stopped to get our picture on the unique benches outside the shop:) 
And Amanda wanted one of me by myself on the bench:) 
We walked around the historic court house too:) interesting fact- in the 11 years I've been living here- I had never walked around the court house in town! 
Love these girls! 
L. To R. Sadie, me and Ava:) 
Amanda and I spent time talking and catching up in the library while the girls looked at books. And on the way home, we stopped to pick up Opal and spent a little more time talking and picking the old banjo. 
It was a day that I will treasure for a long time to come. 
Thank you for making time in your day to spend some time with me Amanda! It was a lovely day and I'm so blessed to have you for a friend! I always look forward to time spent with these girls too;) 
When I get my car, I'm coming down to spend more time with y'all, Lord willing! 
I haven't had such a splendid day in a long time!
Until next time, 
Elise

Passing unnoticed

Sometimes it seems like life moves very slowly, and other times it seems that it moves very quickly. It seems that the opposite of what I want, happens. If I wish for it to move slowly, it moves quickly, and if I wish it would move quickly, it moves slowly. Nevertheless, the past 5 months have come and gone like a flash. I can hardly believe January is almost over. I realize that there may be very few people who read my blog; perhaps a lot of that has to do with how infrequently I write. ;) But I was thinking about what I might blog about and looking through pictures... I guess it is really the little things that make up a beautiful life. It's the little things everyday that make fond memories. I tend to be so task oriented that I forget to stop and notice the dew drops on the flower, the frost patterns on the window, the unique sunrise... the smiles which are flashed at me every day. And then- suddenly these precious times are gone. It's a new stage of life, the things w...

Saved by Grace

Recently I was asked to share my salvation testimony- and even though I have done that many times before, I can not help being amazed every time I share it.  I can not help but think how amazing God is for saving me! He continues to love me even when I forget about Him in my daily life! How could I forget about someone who loved me so much, that He died  for me!!? " And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain— For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me? Amazing love! How can it be, That Thou, my God, wouldst die for me?" And saying that, I thought I would share my testimony with you as well.  I have been raised in a godly, christian home and therefore, I grew up hearing the Bible read to me everyday.  When I was four years old, Daddy explained to me the importance of having a personal relationship with God. He explained that I could...
