Day 1: Your Blog's Name

Learning To Be the Light

 

It took a while to come up with a name for my blog that I really liked. At first I wanted it to have something to do with music, but since I usually post non-music-related stuff, I changed my mind. I didn't want to settle on a name I didn't love, so I had to start over with ideas. I wanted the name to have purpose, something to sort of describe my blog as a whole. Learning To Be the Light by Newworldson was one of my favorite songs at the time, so it just clicked. That's what I want to show through my blog; I want to be a light to people. Maybe I can make someone smile because of something I write. I know from personal experience that it's sometimes difficult to see that light at the end of the tunnel, but those situations teach us to look towards God. It's a reminder for myself that there's a purpose in everything, and we might as well make the best of things. Maybe it can serve as a reminder to someone else, too. =)

 

 

 

 

*Day 1! Ok so I almost forgot about this, and I know 10:00 is sorta pushing it, but hey, I got it done! Can you believe it's 2014?! I'm excited!  

A New Year

It's New Year's Eve! We're going to a small get together tonight to play games and eat junk food. I think it's a pretty good way to finish out the year! =) I remember one year, my little sister and I crumpled up pieces of paper and threw them down the stairs at midnight. That sort of represented the "ball drop" for us. I can't wait to see what God will do in the new year. Have a safe and happy New Year!

So, I was skimming Pinterest the other day and came across this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 A blogging challenge! I can't wait to try this - I'm thinking of starting January 1st. It's gonna be somewhat of a challenge with my schedule, but I think I can handle it. Maybe I'll do little collabs with some of my friends on different days!

These Are A Few of My Favorite Things ... About Winter

It's been forever!! I haven't been able to post as much as I've wanted for a while because of all the busyness of the holidays, but seeing as tomorrow is the first day of winter, I thought I could write a quick little blurb (first time I've used that word, ha!).


Mexican Hot Chocolate
Mexican hot chocolate is my favorite because I love the spices!




Snow!

We don't get very much snow here, maybe a couple inches if we're lucky, but I think it's pretty.

 



 

 

 

 

Festival of Lights

It's fun to go at night and see all lights, roast marshmallows, and drink hot chocolate!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas

It's only 5 days away!!!

 

 

 



 

Window Shopping

I like window shopping downtown or at the mall, and people watching (hehe), so it's kinda a two-in-one, especially during the holidays! ;)

 

 

*I don't own any of the pictures (except the "snow" one).
