Wait, one more, I couldn't resist this one!

I'm back, and this is all I'm giving you until I return from Ohio...hehe

Yes, I took this myself,.....with my crummy camera.....now you can admire its awesomeness...

Soooo Sorry!

Wow! It's been a while and I apologize. Things have been really crazy and will continue to get worse this summer. (Worse in a good way. I like being busy!) My friend Allison mentioned on her blog that I was starting a new phase in the calling God has placed on my life. While this is true, and I want to post about it, I can't get a video that explains everything up on here, so you will have to wait on that until I can get one of my tech savy friends to upload it. But first I have some announcements:

1. I will not be doing the next WIFD. Things are a little too hectic as is without having to take pics of myself every morning and post them. Sorry! You can still enjoy what the other girls post if you follow the link on your right.
2. I will be gone starting May 30th for my cousin's graduation until June 8th.

Now for things to look for in the near future:

1. Allison and I are now going down to Manskers by ourselves, so look for pictures of that.
2. According to the countdown clock on the right, my next re-enactment is coming up. I will also have pics of that.
3. As soon as I can load that video, there will be information regarding The Least of These, my mission group I am starting.
4. School is out! Summer pics will be flooding this blog!

Lastly, I have a few things I would like you to petition the Lord about on my behalf.

1. The Least of These. While on to a good start, I am encontering some spiritual war fare regarding this. Please pray for strength and courage. While I may be headstrong, I am not bold; I am a people pleaser and this isn't helping.
2. Two of my cousins are getting married! Yay!!!

Thank you all for being so patient. I will try to post more reguarly as soon as all this clears up a bit.

Au Revior,

Serious

Do you ever get the feeling
People think you're crazy
'Cause you trust what they can't see
Do you ever get the feeling
People think you're shallow
And you will change what you believe
But I'm not here to argue
About what others think and feel
'Cause I'm not ashamed to tell anyone
What I know to be real

I'm serious about the stand
I'm taking Serious about the choice I'm making
Serious about the things that I believe
I'm serious about the talk I'm talking
what the evidence is and the walk I'm walking
Serious about love and purity
I'm serious as I can be

I'm not the first to meet with laughter
And resistance from a disbelieving crowd
But I got to meet it head on
I'm just gonna keep on
Won't let it get me down
I'm not here to give up
Jesus didn't give up on me
Even when the goin' gets rough
I've promised God that I'll be

Serious about the stand I'm taking
Serious about the choice I'm making
Serious about the things that I believe
I'm serious about the talk I'm talking
what the evidence is and the walk I'm walking
Serious about love and purity
I'm serious as I can be

Won't change my mind
Got to close the door
No time for goin' back
To what I had before
I'm so tired of playin' all these games
'Cause the more I see what
You mean to me
The more I want to say

-"Serious" by Joy Williams

Need I say more?

Spring Encampment

Finally! A picture for you guys! Thanks for being so patient. This was scanned out of a newspaper which explains the funky quality. There is a story behind how the photorapher caught me this way. I was actually watching the militia muster and raising of the flag early Saturday morning. Something caught my eye and I looked away, right into the lens of the camera guy! I jumped and apologized laughing. He laughed and said it was alright. Then he asked me to "re-pose". So I did. I had no idea he worked for the newspaper! I thought he was just a tourist! Oh well. This the bake oven up at the house. From left to right: Janessa, our friend Evan, and Mumsie. My mom runs the bake oven and we do make bread, cookies, biscuits, cornbread, cakes and cobbler all inside. It works quite well and the food is of course delicious!

I borrowed this pic from my friend Jessica over at http://anthonycourter.blogspot.com

We (mainly I with a lot of help, since I was the only one who had made it before ina churn) were making butter. Janessa (on the left) decided to give it a try. From left to right: Janessa, Jessica, and Me. We did this on the porch of the house. It took about an hour and a half to make about four cups of butter from a gallon or so of cream.

I love doing this. Churning butter and baking is one of my favorite things to do at Mansker's. By the way, we were also making baked apples during this time and Jessica was making cooked greens. So much fun!!

WIFD

So, it looks like I will be doing WIFD every month. In order to save me the strain of posting the same thing on two blogs, I will put a link to the side bar and if you want to follow what I wear in my WIFD's, you can check it out there. The next WIFD is April 19th to 25th. Until then!
