Liebster Award 2018.

-
Happy Saturday, readers! :) I realized this morning that I had no idea what I was going to post here today, and I mildly freaked out. Thankfully, Ivie tagged me and rescued me from...peril? xD


// The Rules

~ Thank the person who nominated you.  Thanks, Ivie! :D
~ Answer the eleven questions they gave you.
~ Name eleven facts about yourself.
~ Nominate eleven bloggers for this and let them know.
~ Give them eleven questions.


// The Questions

1. Favorite candy?

*taps chin* Jolly Ranchers, LifeSavers, Sour Patch, Twix, Milk Duds... 


2. Favorite book? 

...really, Ivie?! Really?! Okay, fine. A Distant Melody by Sarah Sundin is *A* favorite. 


3. Favorite author?

Sarah Sundin, Jesseca Wheaton, Willowy Whisper, Beverly Lewis...among others.... ;)


4. Would you rather have to publish your first draft or publish your third draft?

Third. Very few people who I legit trust with my life (read: my critique partner and sometimes Mom) are the only human beings who see the full first draft. *nods*


5. Favorite movie?

Beautiful Dreamer and anything Signed, Sealed, Delivered. *nods*


6. Favorite Gif?

...okay, confession. I do not like GIFs. I just don't. But because it's such a thing with others and I did post this one to my other blog this week, I'll go ahead and add it. 



7. How long have you been blogging?

Three years this spring. :D


8. Do you like candles?

Yes. Especially Christmas-y candles. 


9. Rainy day or sunshine?

Typically, I'd say rainy. Because I like rainy days. But lately? It seems like it's rained nonstop for ten years, and I NEED SUNSHINE. xD 


10. How long have you been writing seriously?

A little over a year, since like December of 2016. 


11. Reading or writing? (Yes, this is an evil question.)

Very evil! *sigh* I don't even know. Right now, writing sounds best though, so I'll go with that. 


// The Facts

1. I wear glasses most of the time. 
2. Coffee is epic. 
3. I'm eating guac as I write this. 
4. My screensaver is a picture of my dog. 
5. I have over 500 books. 
6. Saturdays are gold. 
7. I love Unspoken's music. 
8. I have a hard time thinking of facts about myself when put on the spot. 
9. I have better things to do than sit here and think of facts. 
10. Just this week, I have discovered that I LOVE outlining/brainstorming. (Yes, I've written three first drafts without really doing it. Sshh.)
11. Roses are aesthetic. 


// The Tagged 

Because I'm doing this kind of spur-of-the-moment, I'm going to cheat and not tag anyone... *ducks* But if you would like to do this, consider yourself tagged! ;)

    Wow, you work fast! Great answers, though! You don't like gifs??!! I love them. On Goodreads, people recognize me because I pretty much only use HTTYD gifs, lol. XD I love all your answers. Awesome job! Thanks for doing the tag. I must go, I forgot to alert the others that they are tagged. XD XD

      Haha, well, I needed a post for today and had the time to write it up right then. ;D
      Noo....not really. *wince* Some gifs are cute and funny, but for the most part I don't like them. Haha, yes, I've saw the HTTYD gifs around. XD
      Thanks, Ivie! I enjoyed it! :D

      Thanks, Rebekah! :D
      That one sounds really good! I'm hoping to get through "The Proving" soon, so that I can get that one when it comes out. :) I have several of her books on my TBR for this year too!!

    I never thought I would see another blogger who isn't a fan of gifs, so I feel much better now. xD My blog isn't really the type for gifs anyway, but I've never been crazy about them in other places.
    Fun post, Faith!

    I hardly ever post gifs on my blog. Like... once? But this one was so cute I think I watched it about 4 times on you other blog and at least 4 times here. *hides*

    I might actually get into it. Maybe. I don't know how well it will go on my blog and I'd have to learn how to strategy them.
    Which I know how. I'm just a bit lazy at the moment. (Totally not cause it's an hour after my bedtime. That not the reason at all.)

      Haha, it is a really cute one. ;D

      I'm good with gifs in moderation, but I get bothered by a ton of them. xD Strategy is good. *grins* *whispers* Libby needs sleeepppp. *wink8

Just a Little Update.

As you've probably noticed, this blog's posts have dwindled and have consisted of only book reviews since Christmas. Not what I promised, was it? I'm here today to talk about some things that I've been contemplating—and putting off, if we're going for honesty—for awhile. Now it's official, though. The decision is made, I'm happy with it, and I'm here to make the announcement. Chosen Vessels is closing. Okay, so that sounds much worse/drastic than this is actually going to be, but the gist of it is true. Sometime in March, I'll cease to update this blog. It won't be disappearing entirely, but I won't be posting here anymore. As I strive to strengthen the content of my main blog and create a better online author presence, I've come to realize that it's too confusing—not to mention time-consuming—to keep up with two blogs. Instead, I'll be posting something encouraging and/or something God has been showing me 2-4 weekends...

"Mary, Did You Know?" ~ the Story and the Song

-

This song was sang at church during the Christmas play last week (the 13th). And it really got me to thinking. Did  Mary know? I mean, she knew who He was, but how much of what He would go on to do did she know?  Seeing as how this song was written by my favorite comedian, I decided to share the story behind it. :)  //The Song// Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered,  Will soon deliver you.  Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Would calm a storm with his hand? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has walked where angels trod  And when you kiss your little Baby,  You've kissed the face of God?  Oh, Mary, did you know?  Mary, did you know?...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dance to a song on the radio. Sometimes I stare off into midair for 7.56 minutes before noticing that I'm doing it. Sometimes I ramble off numbers that I just made up, numbers like 7.56. Sometimes I daydream in the shower. Sometimes I eat ice cream out of the carton. Sometimes I write stories so deep, dark, and dear to my heart that they will be forever hidden in a locked document, never to see the light of day. Sometimes I am very dramatic. Sometimes I fantasize about things that will probably never happen. Sometimes I dream that those things will actually be in my future.  Sometimes I watch sappy movies and read books that a lot of people would probably hate. Sometimes I reseal those little papers that band-aids are in so that someone will think there's still something inside of them. Sometimes it works and someone opens 9.2 of them before realizing they've been pranked.  Sometimes I write stories that leave me hurt and raw, and the...
