I've Been Awarded Again!

I was awarded with the Kreativ Blogger Award by Britt over at www.encouragementforeverydaystruggles.blogspot.com. Many thanks, Britt! Here are the rules...

Answer the 10 questions, then list 10 random things about yourself, and award 7 bloggers.
Pretty simple. But because I'm a rule breaker I will only be listing 5 random facts about myself and awarding one person. Here we go...

1. What is your favorite song? I don't really have a favorite over all song. I have a favorite song from each genre of music. But I'll keep it short and say my favorite Christian song is Because He Lives.

2. What is your favorite dessert? That one is easy. Ice cream. Plain vanilla ice cream. But it is always amazing to put it on top of a warm brownie and top it off with hot fudge and nuts. (Can't.Wait.Till.July.21st.!)

3. What ticks you off? I think this is where I should be able to say "nothing". Hehe... but, I would have to say asking a question and not being answered. Yeah...

4. When your upset, what do you do? Nothing in particular. Every situation is different.

5. What is your favorite pet? My horse, of course.

6. Do you prefer to wear black or white? I prefer to wear black. But I think I probably look better in white.

7. What is your attitude? Hm. I feel like someone else should evaluate me and give me the answer to this question. (Ha, if I were brave I would ask everyones' opinion and have them leave it in the comments. But I'm not brave. Don't do that.) I can't really answer this question.

8. What place, object, scenario, etc would you describe as perfection? Africa. Africa is perfection.

9. What is your guilty pleasure? Sleeping late, of course.

10. What is your favorite past time? I don't really have one these days. No time for passing the time.

Ok. So here are the five random facts about myself... (hehe, this is always fun..)

1. Change is something that terrifies me but makes me incredibly excited at the same time

2. I picked five vegetables out of the garden today: Two beets, a jalapeno, a red tomato, and a yellow tomato. (Looking forward to eating those beets!)

3. While on the subject, beet salad is one of my very favorite things in this world!

4. I want to open a food truck. It would be amazing. I'm thinking waffels...

5. I love fine arts. (Cooking, drawing, dancing, music, etc.) I wish I was skilled in every aspect of them.

Now on to the awarding part. I award...

Thoughtful Thursday

Outside my window... There are a lot of green trees. Very green trees. I'm looking up at the window and I can't see any sky. Just green leaves. It looks more like summer than in does spring.

 It feels more like summer too.

I am thinking... About getting another hour of sleep before heading out for the day.

I am thankful for... God's enduring mercy. Where would we be without it?

From the learning room... Two of my sisters are working on their school. The house is quiet. I'm sure the rest of the kids are around reading somewhere.

From the Kitchen... The smell of sugar and fruit. Freshly baked cakes. A lemon one. A pinapple one.

I am wearing... Comfortable clothes. A pair of old jeans and a blue Surfside shirt. Its a barefoot kind of day. My hair is curly and I'm weighed down in jewlery.

I am creating... A drawing. Its water color. Its a picture of the creek. Its taking me forever to finish. If it turns out I'll put it on www.abecedarianartistry.blogspot.com

I am going... To babysit. I get to see my buddy Little Bill today. I get to spend the entire day with him and the evening with his siblings. I. Am. Excited. to see them again.

I am reading... Very few things. From the bible I'm reading through Psalms and Proverbs as always and also I Chronicles. It was named Chronicles for a reason. I'm having trouble getting through all these geneologies... I am also reading a book called George Muller: Delighted in God by Roger Steer. Muller's story is one of my favorites of all time. What a faithful man.

I am hoping... For a nice, calm, and smooth running day.

I am hearing... The television and the air conditioner. Other than that it is quite.

Around the house... Like I said, it is quite. Some kids are doing school. Others are doing laundry. Others are a work. Its a quiet kind of day.

One of my favorite things... Animals. This morning I went out to see the cows. There were plenty of dogs, cats and horses to see as well. What amazing animals.

A few plans for the rest of the week... Tomorrow I get to see Little Bill again. As for now the weekend is unscheduled. Monday I will probably get in a few hours at Moody Gardens. I miss my little feathered friends.

Until next time,

Juliana.
