I'm Sorry

To my previous post on Friendship, I was merely sharing my own thoughts. To me, true friendship is someone you talk to every week and is always there for you no matter what. I have been going through a rough time with someone who is very dear to my heart, but lately it seemed as though everything I do is wrong. I'm always the one starting the argument, it's always my fault. I sat back and regret saying some things to this person, but I also noticed that it was not all my fault. The person seemed so touchy when I asked questions about something that I thought I needed to know. Looking back, perhaps I should have just dropped it. The person just seemed to not want to talk with me at all.

So I stop and will say that it is nobody's fault and I'm sorry. I am a Christian and I am reminded What Would Jesus Do? I am following in His steps and am going to trust Him to mend this particular friendship.

I also am thrilled to say that I have made new friends this week and I thank God so much for them! God sure does work in wondrous ways!

I Saw Jesus in You

by Ron Hamilton

When I enter heaven's glory
And I see my Saviour's face,
I will offer Him ten thousand years of praise.

Then I'll find that special one

In whose life

I saw God's Son,
And through tears of joy
with trembling lips these words I'll say:

I saw Jesus in you,
I saw Jesus in you,
I could hear His voice in the words you said-
I saw Jesus in you,
In your eyes I saw His care,
I could see His love was there,
You were faithful,
And I saw Jesus in you.

When I stand before my Father
To receive my life's reward,
And my soul is bathed in God's eternal day
When this race on earth is run,
And God sees the works I've done,

And I saw Jesus in you.

True Friendship

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. ~Elbert Hubbard, The Notebook, 1927

I do not believe I have ever had what you will call a true friendship. That one person(whether it be girl or boy) that you can tell absolutely anything to and they will not judge you or blab it to anyone else. That one friend who would do anything for you, if you were stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere they would drop everything for you. I guess I can really honestly say that the only people in my life that I am absolutely 100% positive that would do ANYTHING for me are my parents and grandparents. That sometimes makes me sad and sometimes it makes me feel so very love and unworthy of it.

"Great friends email you everyday, Good friends email you once a week, a friend will email you every now and then."

I'm still looking for great friends. I had great friends. Used to get an email everyday until I found out that they were stuck up snobs and jealousy from them made me realized that I didn't need them in my life anymore! It still hurts every now and then that they are not a big part of my life anymore, but I am a stronger person because of that.

So someday I hope to discover true friendship for I now know what it is. I can truly say that without a doubt that my parents and grandparents are my true best friends. And Jesus of course is my number 1 best friend, I know with all my heart! And I can also truly say that I have many internet friends who make me smile everyday!

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley

December Photos

I thought I would share some of the pictures I took in December. Most of them have my Photography logo on them. Enjoy these pictures!

Useful Sites

I often use Google for, well, everything. I find several other sites helpful too. Like Swagbucks and Yahoo. They all help me in some way. But if I need country song lyrics or the meaning of the word I go straight to these two sites.

Dictionary.com- VERY helpful! I often find words that I don't know the meaning of, so I just click on Dictionary and type it in! Saves me a lot of trouble typing the meaning of the word on google.

CowboyLyrics.com- I use this site to look up country song lyrics. Very helpful, especially if I hear a song that I love and want to read the words to it. Especially if it's a fast song and you miss some of what's being sung.

Have a great day!

Runaway Bride

I love any kind of movie! You got a movie about this girl planning her wedding? I'll watch it. A movie about a professional boxer winning the title, I'll watch it. Heartwarming story about a girl and her horse? Gimme that movie! Tearjerker movie about a cancer patient, I'll try not to cry and watch it. A thrilling, bone-shaking scary movie, TURN OUT THE LIGHTS! Classic old western movie about a bank robber gang? I love John Wayne! An animation about a toy astronaut? Tim Allen is hilarious! A clean cut film about a family on a prairie? Do not interrupt my movie! Aliens taking over the world and fighting dragons? Yeah, I'm up for it! A weird science movie about something in the air killing people...allrighty, I'll try not to ask questions about what doesn't make sense. Treasure hunt anyone? Yup, I'll bring the cookies! So you get the picture, right? Good! Hope you got my drift. Let me get to the point of this blog.

The other day I watched Runaway Bride. I simply adore the movie! My favorite adoration is that it was CLEAN! No sensuality whatsoever! I thoroughly enjoyed that! The best part about the movie? You guessed it, Julia Roberts! No matter what she stars in, she shines! Maybe because she's so natural! I mean, she never looks like she has a face lift, botox or whatever. And her natural red hair? A knockout! What I mostly love about her though, is her personality. She can be that sweet girl with the flowing dress and tons of makeup one minute, the trade it in for overalls and a ponytail. Plus, she's got that signature smile! Best smile of the year award? Please, this lady deserves best smile of the century award!

Anyways. Runaway Bride was a fantastic movie! Julia Roberts outshines her character! Richard Gere was postoperatively wonderful at his role! They were a perfect match! This movie is about Julia's character who has ran from the alter 4 times. And now she's getting hitched again! Will she run? That's the question on everyone's mind, especially Richard Gere's character. He runs a story about her in the paper, which she replies to stating he told false things about her. Richard Gere gets fired and redeems himself by writing the true story about Julia's character.

THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Yes, Julia does run from the alter again. But at the end...all's well that ends well.

Not much of a spoiler, eh? Anyways, I give this movie 10 stars! It would have been 9 stars, but I made it 10 because they put in a country song towards the end of the movie. Sure know how to steal my heart! ha ha.

So, if you have not seen this movie...."Get off your lazy bum and watch it!".

That's it from this small town Southern girl.

Speak Now - Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is America's Country and Pop sensation! She has topped the charts, sold the most albums AND won numerous awards for her amazing talent! Anyways, her newest album was released this past Monday. I wanted it so bad! I went to two Wal-Mart and they did not have the vinyl copy, which is the one I wanted. So I'm having to wait and order it online. The only song I've heard from the CD is her #1 hit "Mine". I absolutely love the music video!

"I remember we were sitting by the water, When you looked at me it was like the first time, You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter. You are the best thing that's ever been mine."

Here's the music video! Enjoy!




Note: The video will probably direct you to Youtube.
