  2. »  Thoughts from your friendly neighborhood redhead: Acceptable Worship.

    yourfriendlyneighborhoodredhead:

    So many times it’s easy to fall into a downward spiral of worship: “I didn’t get anything out of worship.” “That service didn’t really give me anything.” It’s easy to be distracted by the aesthetics - a child talking loudly in the back, songs led too low or slow, a sermon that went longer than we…

  6. Thinking About Summer, Traveling, and DIY’s

    I’ve been home for a week now. My summer “officially” started about a month and half ago for me. My summer started by going to London. Touring the city, giggling at the beefeater’s funny hats, and gawking at the wondrous Harry Potter set. A RyanAir flight later,  I was put on a whirlwind tour of Spain, Switzerland, and Germany, hopped on and off trains, plans, and automobiles and ended up on my countries soil. 

    I spent a few days with my sister, went on an amazing chorale tour, and now I am home. For the first time in four months I’m sleeping in my own pillow. I had gotten use to the facility’s foamy, lumpy pillows. I do enjoy my own soft, plush pillow much more, however. 

    I’ll be working some this summer. I’m not sure how much but I’ll gladly take whatever hours are given to me. I also plan on going to one of my favorite Tennessee state parks and spending a week there with my family. I’ll be bringing my Europe hiking boots with me there. I foresee much rock hopping, hiking, and spelunking while I’m there. I’ve also been asked, and eagerly agreed, to take a couple’s wedding pictures at the end of the summer. I’m supa-dupa excited about that!

    But in-between those plans I’ll be working on my summer project list. There isn’t a lot on the list right now, but it has grown a little bit in the past few days. Currently I’m working on a mobile that I’m going to hang in my room, yesterday mom and I painted the porch ceiling a pretty sky blue (which I love), and coming up this week my dad and I will be building me a bed frame that has book storage underneath (since my bookshelves keep falling off the wall).

    I love doing crafty, DIY projects. They keep me occupied and I have something that is pretty or functional afterwards. When I was younger summer would be filled with boredom because I didn’t know what to do with myself. I think that is why I love summer projects so much. They keep me from being bored and I have some fun in the process. 

  7. A Mixed Bag

    So. I have a week left. In Europe. When did this happen!? Where has the time gone!? Didn’t I just land in Brussels (a very turbulent landing mind you, I seriously thought I was gonna throw up. I made sure I knew where the emergency baggie was) like a week ago!? 

    But here I am, in Interlaken, Switzerland. With one week until I fly back home. I have mixed feelings about this. I’m not really sure how to feel. 

    So. Here are some things I’ll miss about Europe but things I’m glad about going home for. List time!! We all know that I love lists. :)

    THINGS I’LL MISS ABOUT EUROPE:

    1. Constantly traveling 

    2. Seeing and experiencing new things. 

    3. Being with my buddies all the time. 

    4. All the fun memories we’ve made. 

    5. Packing everything that I need for a week in one backpack (instead of my huge suitcase that I’ll fill to the max and be so heavy that I can hardly lift it). 

    THINGS I’M LOOKING FORWARD ABOUT BEING HOME:

    1. Seeing my Freed buddies again. 

    2. Getting a since of normalcy back again (instead of studying for a week, traveling for a week, and so on and so forth). 

    3. Seeing my family. Puppy and kitty and even the humans 

    4. Having time to pick up my hobbies again (reading, painting, crafting, and the like)

    5. Attend worship services…IN ENGLISH!! 

  8. How To Procrastinate From Packing 101:

    1. Take a long, hot shower. Sing every song you can think of. 

    2. Watch New Girl with a bunch of friends and laugh until your abs hurt.

    3. Eat some Whoppies frites…or a lot of Whoppies frites.  

    4. Do laundry.

    5. Begin to set out some things on your bed and stare at them. Maybe they will magically being to sort themselves neatly in your kelty 

    6. Clean.

    7. Use every type of social media known to man.

    8. Work on other important things like printing out plane tickets, itineraries, and Harry Potter Set Tour tickets.

    9. Print out things for friends.

    10. Skype a friend.

    Tonight we (those assembled at the church building in Bells) heard another great lesson from my Grandfather-in-Law, Loy Mitchell. He talked about heaven, about how it’s where God lives, it is a place of rejoicing, how we should want to be there. One illustration he gave in particular stuck in my…
