"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"?

Goodbye for Now

First off, I'm sorry I didn't get a post out last week! It's been a crazy few weeks - or, rather, months. And it's not gonna get any better. I'm finishing up high school in the next two weeks, leaving for college in a few months, trying to balance a sometimes-frustrating job, and working to get Like a Warrior  ready to go into the world. (a few months later than intended, sadly. But I want to do this right, so I'm willing to wait a little longer) And, so, for right now, I'm going to have to step back from blogging. This isn't permanent. This is just me trying to focus on my priorities and do what God wants me to do. Goodbye for now, y'all. Without worrying about publishing posts myself, hopefully I can be more active with reading and commenting on other blogs. And, if all goes as planned, I'll be back later ready to go full-steam-ahead with launch plans for LAW. Thank everyone one of you so much - for reading, commenting, encouraging me. I love y...

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...

First Post!

Welcome, y'all! I'm Abby, and I'm so glad you dropped by!      You can read more about me here . I spent a lot of time working on that page, and I don't want to go through that again...      I made this blog to mostly be about bookish stuff - book reviews, behind-the-scenes looks at my writing, blog tours for online friends, etc. And tags. Because I just love tags.       Now, to be honest, this blog wasn't even my idea - my dad suggested it. And it wouldn't have been possible without his help - and a whole lot of encouragement and suggestions from my incredible friend, SawyerMarie (she's also a great blogger - you can find her blog, Sundrop Girls, here ). Sawyer, this probably wouldn't be happening right now without you. Thanks, girl. I'm so glad God let us become friends. 💙     I'm hoping to post at least once or twice a week, but, never having done this before, I'm not making any promises. 😊     Also - this blog i...
