"The Simple Things" Tag

I warned y'all I liked tags.
 So, as my second post, I'm doing a very amazing, encouraging tag that was left open! Without further ado, here it is:


Instructions:

Link back to the person who started the tag and thank them.
    ✔ Thanks, SawyerMarie! I'm not sure if you started it, but you revived it, as you said.
Link back to the person who tagged you and thank them.
    ✔ Thanks again, SawyerMarie! 😁 You left it open, so I snatched it up!
Use the graphic below.
    ✔ Look up! Ain't it pretty?
List 5 simple things that make you happy (with pictures).
    ✔
Tag 3 people.
    ✔
Remind everyone to be joyful with the little things!
    ✔

#1. Dandelions! They might just be common wildflowers, but they're so pretty! And, even if you try to keep them away, they don't give up (some people call this being a weed, I call it perseverance 😁).

#2. Creative Silhouette Book Covers. I love a well-done book cover - especially when it's on an indie book. It just makes me so happy to see an indie book with a professional-looking cover! But, back to what I was talking about. 😊 Some of my favorite book covers are silhouettes or outlines of some form...like these!

#3. Crammed Bookshelves. I just love it when a bookshelf is packed full of good books! I have several small places I keep my books, but here's a pic of my favorite shelf (where I keep some of the books I've read and enjoyed):




#4. This Color!! Besides being my new favorite color, this is also a source of debate in our house...I'm convinced that it's somehow a shade of blue, but my dad says it's clearly green. I'm just going to call it teal. 😊



#5. Handwritten Fonts. I really like fonts in general, but handwritten fonts are the best!

And I tag...
    Katja
    Caitlyn
    Martha
    And anyone else who wants to do it!

So, there you have it. Five simple things that make me happy. They might all seem silly, but that doesn't mean they are. This reminds me of a Bible verse that I love: 
“Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important.” - 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 NLT
Just because something is simple doesn't mean that isn't important. So, go and enjoy the simple things!


What are some of your favorite "simple things"?

    Lovely tag, Abby!! :D It's such a good reminder to appreciate them many blessings that God puts all around us! And I love book covers with silhouettes on them too (like the Baker Family Adventures series!) I think I'll do this tag on my blog too!! ;)

Indie Author Spotlight: Ellen Senechal

Welcome to another Indie Author Spotlight! Today, we'll have a Q&A with my blogger friend Ellen Senechal, followed by an excerpt from her devotional. About the Author Ellen is the author of  The Whispers God Gives , a beautiful 30-day devotional for tween and teen girls! Here's her official author bio. :D Ellen Senechal is a teenaged extrovert who enjoys writing, reading, cuddling with babies, spending time outdoors, and eating tacos. She is a big sister in a family of eleven and a follower of Jesus. To say Ellen is slightly obsessed with music is an understatement. You'll rarely find her writing or reading without something or other playing on the radio. Pink and green are her favorite colors, new books are her weakness, and JESUS IS HER JOY. <3 You can connect with Ellen on her blog, Ellen's Musings . Now, ready for a Q&A? Q&A What first inspired you to start writing? Oh, my. I’m not sure if there was any one thing that inspired me. I’ve loved to write ...

Indie Author Review: Ellen Senechal

Welcome to part two of the Indie Author Spotlight! Today, I'll be reviewing Ellen Senechal's 30-day devotional, The Whispers God Gives . Genre:  Tween/Teen Devotional Length:  79 pages  Back-Cover Blurb:  Hear God whisper as you read! Have you ever found yourself questioning God’s will for your life? Are you battling things nobody else seems to relate to? What about bitterness after losing a friend? Perhaps you’ve scoured the Internet and came up dry because you couldn’t find anything that spoke directly to your teen or pre-teen heart. If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this book is for you. In The Whispers God Gives, teenaged author Ellen Senechal speaks from her heart and from God’s Word. She longs to share what she couldn’t find no matter how hard she looked – a clean, wholesome Christian devotional that’s short, sweet, and to the point. A book centered around strengthening your relationship with God your Savior, Counselor, and Friend in thirty days....

The Writerly Sibling Tag

Welcome back for another tag!! Tags are so fun, aren't they? :D Rule One: Thank the blogger who tagged you & provide a link to their post. So, uh, Katja stole this post from someone who stole this post from someone who stole this post. So I'm just keeping the tradition going! :D But you can read Katja's post here. Thanks, girl! Rule Two: Answer the inquires, including any ones added by means of rule six. Rule Three: Always use your own characters. No exception, unless you don’t actually have sibling characters (in which case you need to go write up some) or you don’t write (in which case you need to start ASAP). Rule Four: Tag three other bloggers. Rule Five: If you happen to have any siblings who blog, they are automatically tagged & cannot count towards your three. Rule Six: Add one question or prompt to the list of questions the person before you answered relating to siblings &/or characters. Answer the question, and provide a list of all the questions of ...
