OH WOW!

Well folks...its been a long time...and when I mean long I mean I haven't posted anything on my blog since...SUMMER STARTED! I know, I know. Don't hate.

Summer is practically over. So I thought I'd write a little letter to my good friend Summer.

                   Dear Summer,
                           I love you. Plain and simple. We get along. Your warm rays shining on my face when I lay on the sandy shore of the beach. The crickets chirping away. The smell of hawaiian tropic tanning oil. The taste of salty water on my tongue when I dive headfirst into a wave too big to bob over. The greenery everywhere I look. Summer, I love you.
                          Oh why must you go?

                                                        Love,
                                                                 Darria
P.S. When I hear the mosquito truck, I'll know you are back.



So there. That's my letter to Summer. I am getting excited for school to start back but I am not quite sure I'm ready for it yet. I still love the idea of being able to wake up when I please and frolic throughout the fields of daisies.   :)

So I found a great song... Leave Right Now. Okay so the video is a little weird. Its still good :)

Well that's about it. Like Porky Pig says "That's all folks"

Life is but a vapor

I just read perhaps one of the best books I have ever picked up. The name is "Point Blank" by Mark Rempel. I highly recommend it. It really puts time in perspective. We don't have much time. We need to realize that our lives can be taken from us at any point. And at the end of your time are you going to have regrets? One day God is going to come and take his children out of the filth that our sin has created. Are we going to be ready? Is the Lord going to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." or "I don't know you?"

Perhaps you know the song Who Am I by Casting Crowns. The chorus says exactly what I am trying to say...

"I am a flower quickly fading. Here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind. Still You hear me when I'm calling. Lord, You catch when I'm falling and You've told me who I am. I am Yours. I am Yours..." - Who Am I by Casting Crowns

Who are you? Are you a child of God? Where do you stand? Life is but a vapor...where will you be when your time is up?
