for old times sake

We two have paddled in the stream
from morning sun till dine;
but seas between us broad have roared,
since auld lang syne.












Goodbye 2010.

Love,

it aint me, babe..

And so we meet again! Today @curtiscurry and I went to lots of places, bought some things and learned. We visited an art gallery and a history musuem. I enjoyed myself every step of the way. I have very much relished in this holiday. I have practiced using my imagination instead of supressing it...I highly recommend it.

My favorite things about Winter:

1. little rosy cheeks and noses.
2. mitten clad hands.
3. long sleeves.
4. boots of all shapes, sizes & colors.
5. wearing socks to bed.
6. my curls stay put.
7. huggin friends in fluffy jackets. feels like running into a marshmellow.
8. warmth from a fire.
9. the season of giving.
10. naked trees twisting like dancing ballerinas.












This is a picture of a bill of sale for a slave from the 1800s. This person was sold for $600. It's crazy to think that selling human beings was considered normal at one time. We've come so far, but we still have so far to go.

Let's all commit to love more in 2011 than we did in 2010. I think it would work if we tried!

Starting now,

BC

it's personal




The grace of God will not let up on me.
The love of God will not give up on me.
His banner is waving widly.
This is my soul, it is well, it is free.

"Hey girl, the water don't care, the shore don't know who were you before.."

What a wonderful Christmas I had!

I have noticed that blogs are SO much better with photos and mine is no exception.

So here are some new things for you. In honor of New Years! 2011 here we come!












There's so much more where these came from, but please, don't steal my journal, phone or camera! Save yourself the trouble and follow me on Twitter! Or add me on Facebook...poor ol' Facebook.

Love,

BC

p.s.
Silly me! I forgot my Twitter name: @bethawho.

then again...

Maybe I won't stop telling! I have so much to tell and so much I get to experience that being super private is almost overrated........that dawned on me...oh, yesterday.

I cut my dogs nails for the first time tonight! Scariest event ever. I felt like I was going to make her bleed internally or something. I also tried to brush her teeth, but that didn't go so well.

I'm madly in love with dogs. Aren't you?!

I finished all of my Christmas shopping and made special stocking bags this year. So cute, so perfect, if I do say so myself.

Watched the Lunar Eclipse last night, although it felt creepy outside, my husband and I had a special talk under the jet black sky that made standing in the cold completely worth it.

I also listened to a special memory last night that I had recorded on my iphone, which made me emotional, but it was a nice moment with the Lord. Reminiscing with God is so moving.

To recap the week I have been stretched, watered, humbled, moved and encouraged....I am standing planted on the promises of God and my soul is so comfortably reclined at His feet. I like how it feels to be my soul. I like how it feels to be surrounded with the knowledge of God. The knowledge of God is knowing who He is, who He says He is and silencing everything else that comes against it.

On another note entirely, I'm very much looking forward to Christmas, but it kind of makes me sad because there's this big rush for it to get here and then it's over. Similiar to your wedding day....after December waves goodbye and the New Year says, "hello!" you're left with a weird "now what?" feeling.

This year I feel very differently, tho.....not about Christmas, but about 2011! I'm so..stoked for it...stoked is so the appropriate word for how I feel, even though it's not the most graceful term. "I'm riding a wave and I'm STOKED!" Haha!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this fire side moment brought to you by Christmas time!

To all a good night and make it a warm one!

Love,

Lil' ol' cozy me- BC
