Day 30~ A Motto or Philosophy

Wow! Last day of the challenge! Here is a Bible verse I use as my motto...hope this encourages you. :)

 Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths 

Day 29~ Hopes, Dreams, and Plans You Have For the Next 365 Days

For this next year, my plans are to continue improving on the harp and start high school. My dream for the next year are to make it into Bay Youth Symphony Orchestra, and my hope is that by this time next year, I will have grown so much more in knowing Jesus, and having a relationship with Him.

Day 28~ A Scar You Have and It's Story

I have two coils in my heart. Yep, you read that right....two coils! When I was a baby, I had a hole in my heart that was keeping me in a lot of pain. I had heart surgery to close it up and that is why I have two coils.

Day 27~ A Physical Feature You Love

I'm not exactly sure what this means....whether a character trait about yourself or something about your body or what? So I'm going to do a character trait. :P What I really love about myself is how I always find just about everything in life funny or at least happy. I am pretty much always happy, and I love to make others happy! :)

Day 26~ A Childhood Memory

One VERY special memory I have is, well..it starts when I was two years old, but was an on-going story.
When I was two, I was in with my grandparents in a toy store and fell in love with a puppy dog. It was small, white, and fluffy. I begged them to get it for me, which they did, and I slept with it EVERY night. Skip forward about 3 years....to Christmas Day. I brought "Puppy" downstairs to see all my presents. I set him on a chair, and promptly forgot about him. I didn't even think about him that night, because I had received a new doll that I was sooo excited about. The next day, I discovered I couldn't find him anywhere! I asked my parents to help me....and we basically tore our house apart looking. I could not find him! Finally, my parents figured out that he must have gotten thrown away with the Christmas wrapping....as they remembered that the chair I put him on was they place the put all the trash. I was so heartbroken! Skip forward another year...I still had not found him, but had gotten over it. Then..........one day, after Thursday ballet class, my mom, Olivia and I had to stop by Farm Fresh to get something for dinner. When we where checking out, I noticed this table of toys close by. My mom let Olivia and I go play. There were stuffed Webkins, a few dolls, and...........puppy!!!!!!!!!!!! It was so incredible! There were only five or six of them in a small pile. I KNEW that it was the same brand, the same fluffy white fur, the same little eyes looking at me......I started crying, and took one to my mom. Of course she knew how much this meant to me, and bought him for me. I cried all the way home! I was so happy! I know it seems silly, but I think God had planned that, because I have NEVER seen those puppies ANYWHERE since that day...and I had never seen them there before! I am still encouraged that He really cares about the littlest things....because He LOVES to see us happy!

Day 24~ A Movie No One Would Expect You to Love

I think this would have to be "The Avengers". The only action movies I had really ever watched before were "The Lord of the Rings", and I knew those were fantasy. I was very nervous to watch Avengers because I knew that in was in real life and very realistic. But I love it!!!!!!!!! It is such a cool movie.
