you change clothes five times in one day to accommodate the altering climate.
your trees shock you by blooming mid-February instead of early March.
you get used to going barefoot one week and wearing winter boots the next.
you take thunderstorms for granted.

except for the shock part. i always look for spring starting in early february around here.
I can tell when you’re online!
When I lived in Ohio, I started to really miss the Texas thunderstorms. We’d have a storm up there, and everyone would be all excited/worried, and I’d be saying “Huh? There’s a thunderstorm?” They just don’t have ’em up there like we do down here.
Everything is bigger and better in Texas. Gig ‘Em Aggies!
And you feel sick every time the weather turns nice and beautiful finally.At least I always do.
I have laughed some. When Aviel and I are talking we are sometimes silly. When playing games with Mia the other day I laughed. Peniel makes me laugh some. Most of my laughing, though, comes from talking with my special friend on Skype. I think you understand who I mean. When I read the e-mails that my family sends I sometimes laugh but that laugh ends up in tears because I miss them SO much. I am hoping that after another week I will not have this home sickness so badly. Thank you for your prayers!! I am so lonely sometimes and remembering that others are praying is a great comfort. Makes it feel like you are all here with me. That would be fun…… (Speaking of fun my friend may get to come visit me in Israel for a week in July!!!!!!!)
Love you girl!!!!

Yeah – I agree – I need my focus yanked off myself all the time, but I guess what I mean is that praising God through or in situations that I can relate to or am experiencing makes the praise so much deeper and real.
The song you quoted is a perfect example – it says “I” about five times in the small excerpt you quoted – so it’s not really just songs NOT involving us at all – that’s silly to think if we don’t mention ourselves then we can praise God better. The whole point is relationship – God AND me together – learning to love him for who he is in MY life. You know?
I guess that’s what I was trying to say, although I can see how it could sound like I was advocating selfish worship – it’s not what I meant. Songs like “Unanswered Prayers” don’t make me focus on me – they make me focus on God’s goodness – and that’s true worship, I feel.
Anyways – thank you for commenting! I love hearing your opinion and it made me think harder about my post and my wording. 🙂
I love your profile pic, by the way.
I would love to sing with Buble…but along with that fantasy I have a good voice so…not going to happen, Yeah it’s a little weird for me too, to be honest. I didn’t think I would be in a relationship this early in my life. But he has done so much for me and my family, I really think that God put David in my life at the perfect time. I needed a friend and he’s become the best friend I’ve had my whole life. He didn’t used to consider himself Christian, then I showed him Christ, and pretty soon I realized that he was showing me Christ. I don’t know. I really feel that God has blessed both of us, and we’re trying to take whatever goes on between us slowly, and praying that we’re doing God’s will. We want to do this right, and not at all casually. I don’t even like the term “dating.” I prefer courtship. Yes, I love the Bob and Gay, they’ve always been so sweet to all of us. I forgot that you had taken piano lessons from Judy! I still take from her, she’s wonderful. I love you, hope everybody’s doing good.
Hey i know the weather is changing all the time its like on day you have shorts on the next you have a jacket lol
