Light

Just quickly...I was editing some pics and when I had this one done, Psalm 119:105 sprang up in my mind. :)

Travel

I travel a lot--inside my country of course--and get to meet tons of people and see tons of things. It's awesome but also not so awesome.We have to drive everywhere, and depend on other people for accommodation and other stuff. This past weekend my dad and I went to the city where I lived a few years ago, and I got to see some friends and see a movie (we don't have those around here:-/), etc. etc. It was 100% fun, but I was so tired after everything that when we came home today, I slept for I don't know what amount of time. And let me just tell you: I don't take afternoon naps. It's so not me.

Anyway, something random always happens on these trips, and this time it happened while friends and I were driving "home" after the movie. So we were waiting in the parking lot (getting burgers at a garage) and then a beat up red Toyota drove in.............with a guy sitting in the front passenger seat holding his surfboard against his door. It was a...very alternative way to transport your board. I wanted to get a pic, but my flash was on and all I got was the dust on our window. aaaargh!!  I ducked at the speed of light, and then my friend told me they were looking at us....and waving.  She was freaking out because it was so embarrassing, and I was laughing like crazy. We sure looked guilty...because they saw the 2 of us staring at them before I even tried to "archive" them, and now there was only 1 person in the back. I'm so bummed I didn't get that photo, but next time I am rolling my window down for sure.

But...
I quickly drew what it [sort of] looked like. =]

Big Sis

I have this old black statement t-shirt somewhere in my closet that reads in big letters “BIG SIS.” Ironically, the t-shirt is way too small for me now, but many a big sis or big bro (figuratively I mean…) experiences the following event somewhere in their lives…  My little sister is now a teen. Unfortunately for me, the older sister, she has also developed a new independence and stronger own opinion.  I have been so used to ordering her around (I have to admit) and getting my way, that this was quite a shock to my system… It just exploded on me, although I know it’s been coming for some time. But I’m not writing  this to complain; I’m writing this because I realize she needs to spread her wings, and I know it’s not going to be a walk in the park for me. Don’t get me wrong though, we have been best friends ever since…well, ever since forever.  And that’s how it’s going to stay.

May God bless our awesome friendship so it will never fail, and give us many more a ridiculous giggle, Mealworm.
