Olympics

A poem.....

Swish, swish.

I hear my skates.

Swish, swish.

I hear my board.

Swish, swish.

I hear my skis.

Swish, swish.

I pass my competitors.

Swish, swish.

I flip in the air.

Swish, swish.

I weave the poles.

I hear a new sound.

I hear a cheer.

I cross the finish line.

I win gold.

Snow?

I should have posted this several weeks ago, but, I never got around to it. We had snow (again - several times, actually). It was really fun - it completely covered the ground (finally!) and we even made "snow cream"!

One little dog who loves snow!

We went down in the street and drew pictures in the snow - I drew a horse!

Me - in the snow.

Buster.........EATING MY SNOWMAN!

The backyard - covered with snow!

There is Apolo Ohno........

And then there is "Apono Oh-yes!"

I love to sing, so I am going to post the lyrics of one of my favorite songs:

Mercies Anew:

Every morning that breaks,
There are mercies anew.
Every breath that I take
Is your faithfulness proved.
And at the end of each day,
When my labors are through,
I will sing of Your mercies anew.

When I’ve fallen and strayed
There were mercies anew.
For you sought me in love
And my heart you pursued.
In the face of my sin
Lord, You never withdrew,
So I sing of Your mercies anew.

And Your mercies, they will never end
For ten thousand years they’ll remain.
And when this world’s beauty has passed away
Your mercies will be unchanged.

And when the storms swirl and rage
There are mercies anew.
In affliction and pain
You will carry me through.
And at the end of my days,
When Your throne fills my view,
I will sing of Your mercies anew.
I will sing of Your mercies anew.

Poems

Here are a few poems I've written and wanted to share:

The Christian Home:

Laughter for music,

Shouts of delight,

Joy in the air,

Smiles on the faces.

The father in happy rule,

The mother in quiet content,

The children serving with love.

The Bible read,

The prayers said.

Kindness to all,

God’s love shown,

Christ the center of the home.

The Christian family,

The Christian home.

Being a sister.....

I am a sister,

And I have a sister.

My sister is older then me,

But I don’t mind,

I love her for who she is,

And she is my friend

We love to talk,

Staying up late into the night.

I am a sister,

And I have two brothers.

One is older then me,

The other is younger.

We love to play together,

To wrestle the dog,

To run in the yard,

Or to just play games.

I am a sister,

My siblings are dear to me,

I even wish I had more.

But for now,

I’ll simply be content,

With being a sister,

To my siblings, three,

That God has given me.

Random Ramblings

Yes, I know, it has once again been a while since I posted. We've already had snow twice this year! Three times if I count December! This time, I decided I'd give my readers (yes, that is you!) a glimpse of..........my room, my little brother, and my dog! Enjoy!

The blessings of siblings!

Teacups from the Vision Forum Father Daughter Retreat

The crown I got for my 13th birthday!

Just a few of my model horses

One of the walls in my room

On November 1, 2008, these are the two ribbons Missy and I won - we also tied with one of my friends for first place in bareback riding, but instead of a ribbon, we got to pick a prize - I got a collection of 20 Roy Rogers movies!

Too funny not to share!

Buster looking in the window of our back door wishing he was inside

There is the iPod........... and there is the iHorse (aka iPony or iPinto)

I drew a pic of a salt-sneezing lizard this morning - here is a scan of it - sorry its so light

I got this stuffed pony when I was nine and a half and named her Pinto - still sleep with her!
