Outside My Window...trees changing colors, and leaves floating by.

I am thinking...of how I really need to get my homework for my outside of homeschool classes done.

I am thankful for... My family

From the kitchen... The smell of apples.

I am wearing...A highschool football sweatshirt over my green SOS shirt from church, jeans.

I am creating... my essay on Kate Shelley

I am going... to give a speech to about 60 people on Monday.

I am reading... Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

I am hoping... that I will be sick tomorrow, and not have to give my speech

I am hearing...my parents talking

Around the house... Coldness!

One of my favorite things...books

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:Not much, no big plans

Here is picture thought I am sharing..The picture thought is the football tackle above- football is weird!

Hmmmm....

Today I was thinking about God's grace, how he was kind enough to rescue all of us from death ourselves, and sending his son to die on the cross instead. His design was amazing, having Jesus rise from the dead in three days. As you can probably tell, I've been reading Matthew 27-30. It is an amazing account of how Jesus was self-less and willing to have God's will be done. In a way, it's almost like the falling leaves outside. This Faith Fire catches, like a single leave on a tree. One changes color, and then they all start to. But you may find a few that just go from green to brown a crumpled, laying on the cold, hard dirt. But rarely will you find a tree with only a single leaf. Unless you

1. Don't go grocery shopping
2. don't go to church
3. don't go to school
4. Stay in your room all day, letting no one in, and
5. Don't talk to anybody

You're not a single leaf on a bare tree. That leaf is solitary. You are not! Trees have at least a hundred leaves in most cases. If you're the only unique- colored leaf in your enviroment, spread the fire: Live and Testify to Jesus.
