"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"?

7 Days of Hope Blog Tour - My Post!

 Hey, y'all!  I hope you've enjoyed this blog tour so far! These girls' posts are so beautiful and hopeful! I didn't realize how inspiring it would be to see so many people sharing what hope is to them!     Well - now it's my turn! Here goes!     Since I was little, my favorite Bible verse has been Isaiah 43:1.     (Feel free to download this image and the one below! You can use them as phone wallpapers - that's what I plan on doing with them!)     The wonderful, encouraging verse that comes right after this one, about God being with you through deep waters, seems to be quoted a lot more. But that wasn't the verse that I clung to for years. It was this one. Where God said that He had called me by name .    What hope could ever be greater than knowing that the God of the universe has called you by name?      When I think of hope and beauty and wonder...     O ne of my favorite classic heroines comes to mind - Anne Shirley. W hile I was looking for an Anne of

Songs that Got Me Through

Well, here I am with the music post that I'd mentioned! These are songs that have helped me through tough times. I usually don't "keep" songs like this for more than a few months, just because circumstances change, and thus what I look for in a "survival song" changes. So I've developed quite a collection over this years, and this isn't a full list. :D (Now, don't think that this, by any means, represents my full spectrum of unique musical tastes. But this is a little sampling. XD Proceed with caution. All songs are perfectly clean and nearly all could be classified as Christian. But that leaves a lot of room for my love of multiple genres. XD) All This Time - Britt Nicole I don't even know how old I was when I fell in love with this song. I also don't know why I fell in love with it. XD But it's beautiful, and I still listen to it once in a while today. <3 All this time, from the first tear cry, To today's sunrise, and every s

2021: My Word of the Year

  Welcome to 2021!! I could go into the long, well-researched ramble I had started about New Year's resolutions (the statistics on those are interesting!). Or I could list out some of my goals for 2021. But, I'm not going to do either of those. Instead, I'm here for a short post: my word of the year. I don't know how exactly y'all took this word - but I don't mean trust other people. I don't mean trust myself. I sure don't mean trust everything I hear. I mean trust God .  I mean that I want to learn how to trust God with everything in me. To not worry when everyone else is worrying. To not turn away when everyone else is turning away. To not stay silent when everyone else is staying silent. To not back down when everyone else is backing down. To not be afraid when everyone else is afraid. And so, this year, I hope you'll join me. Joining me in trusting God. With everything. 💙 Love, Do you have a 2021 Word of the Year?
