Florida Bound!

Hello, hello, hello! I know it's been so long since I have written, but if you read my previous posts, you'll know why I was too busy to post.
Back in mid to end of April, I went to Florida with my sister Olivia and Mom, for two weeks. What a time we had. We made many good memories together and Olivia and I packed as many "firsts" in those two weeks as possible. A few of those firsts include, flying, fishing, parasailing and going through the airport by ourselves on the trip back since mom left after the first week.
We had such a good time, and I am glad my sister made such an effort to make it happen. {thank you Olivia!!}
I will include the best pictures I have and I hope you enjoy them:)
A couple things I learned while down there are:
One- just because you have three girls from the same family doing something together, doesn't mean they all agree on what is "fun". But despite we all had different opinions, we worked together to have a grand  time:)
Two- I really like fishing!
Three- I really like flying:)
 
The day we left for two weeks of adventure:)
 

 
Our first flight-ever!

Arrived! 😎 😅 going from 40 degree weather to 80 degree weather! 
 
Our grandmother had our room all ready🙂
 
Sunset on the beach that first night
 
Walking on the beach is something I love to do- as long as the beach isn't crowded;) 
 
The market was one of our favorite places!
 

 
We went to see God's Not Dead 2; that is a movie well done y'all:)

We liked to swim at night after the "crowds" we're gone an the sun had set:)

The water is extremely clear down there!
 
Big puffy clouds...I was always hoping that they were bringing a thunderstorm;)
 
Sweet Berries Ice cream always helps cool you down:)

Leaving behind the vacation hubbub...
We had a great time and I'm thankful we had two weeks to spend together. :) 
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...

New Years Resolutions??

I was thinking about what my New Years goals and resolutions should be while playing the piano the other night and I was singing this song, and I thought, "I couldn't have better goals and resolutions than these..." Take my life and let it be consecrated Lord to Thee, take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee. Take my voice and let me sing, always only for my King! Take my silver and my gold, not a mite w ill I withhold. Take my heart it is Thy own, it will be Thy royal throne. Take my will and make it Thine, it will be no longer mine.  Take my hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love!  Take my love; my Lord, I pour, at thy feet it's treasure store. take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee."  "May the mind of Christ my Savior live in me from day to day, by His love and power controlling- All I Do And Say."   There is much that I am unsure about in this...
