Happines Post #1

So. A while back I said I wanted to start having periodic posts about happiness. Here's the first one. :)

Things To Be Happy About:

Autumn. Texas takes a while, but it does cool down. And that's finally starting to happen over here. I love the cool weather, the golden leaves, and there's just something sharp and fresh about the air in fall.  

Meeting up with old friends. I got to see a good friend I haven't talked to in a while, and it was wonderful to catch up with her. We're both kinda equally awkward, so we had an amazingly awkward time together. It was good fun.

Little reminders that God is there, and that I'm so very blessed. Sometimes God does something huge and amazing, and I'm kind of hit with this feeling of whoa, God is huge, and he really loves me. And then sometimes there are little things that come into my heart slowly and linger for a long time. Like how the wind feels on my face, and how the sunset paints the sky, and when my little sisters run to hug me. These little blessings are beautiful.

Encouraging verses. These have wonderfully calmed me down before tests, and when I'm feeling really stressed out, or maybe when I just need some peace.

For His anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. Psalms 30:5

 

 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

 

 After saving up for a while, I was finally able to buy my own phone! I have been taking pictures on it a bit excessively, because the camera is lovely. 

Free time. After I got some of my school out of the way today, I sat down (read as: laid on my floor because it's comfortable) and drew this. Just because.

 FAVORITE POEM! (I used my camera to take this. Ehehehe.)

My big sister got to visit from college. It was wonderful having her back.

 

 (SHE'S SO PRETTY!) 

Also I love this picture. <3

Also, the only reason she looks taller than me is because the ground was slanted.

I have like two whole inches on her, and I'm like five years younger. 

See, there's another thing to be happy about. I'm taller than my big sister. Hahaha. Haha. Ha

There are a ton of things to be happy about, and really you don't even have to think hard. 

So, what have you (my five readers) been happy about?
