Chosen Vessels

Happy Memorial Day! I've wrote a little poem (two, really. They don't really go together ;)) to share with you all. Here it is, and I hope you enjoy. :)  Never forget the price that was paid for our freedom. Yesterday we were singing America, The Beautiful  at church and these words really stuck out to me...  O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life!  Who more than self their country loved... That says it all, doesn't it? :')  God, bless the soldier  Who left his homeland for us,  Died to keep us safe.  And hold near the souls  Of those who sacrificed all For our liberty.  Just for our freedom  They willingly gave their lives  On those foreign soils.  Courageously endured,  For the freedom we hold dear.  We owe them greatly.  Today le...

Ahh, it was so refreshing! <3 The writing was amazing and oh, so funny, I can't begin to count the ...

It is in our hearts and on our minds all the year round.  Blessings!  ~Faith

What inspired you to start a blog?  Last summer I started looking at the  Circle C blog . I saw the list of Andi's fan blogs on the side and decided to look at some of them. I found a few that I liked and just check often for more posts. Reading different blogs made me think that I would like to have a blog. I also really w...
