Crazy Awesome World.

Been a long time since I posted anything I know.  I have been meaning and meaning to get back on here for a while now, just hadn't gotten the chance.  :)  Bit of a random post, this has just been on my heart lately and I needed a place to put it, and that's what blogs are for right?

Oh my goodness so much has happened since I last posted in May...  God is so awesome, he can do so much in such a short time.  I feel blessed more now then ever than all my friends and family.  Being away has given me time to reflect, and the more I think about and remember all the craziness of my life at home, the more thankful I am for it.

  I live in a crazy awesome place, with crazy amazing people all around me.  I think about it and I realize, we don't even realize how amazing it is to meet the people that we meet.  Even though it might only be for a short time that we know that person.  I think about it this way, there are 6 Billion people on this planet and God placed you with the people he did for a reason.

  Just thinking about that boggles my mind. 

He could have put you anywhere, and with anyone out of 6 billion people.  But He decided to place you with the people that you are with. 

That is pretty amazing. 

So with that being said, be thankful for those around you.  The ones that love and care for you because, God gave us those around us for a reason.  It wasn't by accident that they are in our lives.  That those crazy amazing people are around us, are helping us, are searching out God's will with us.

This crazy amazing world is truly, truly amazing, and life is short.  So love God, love people, and praise and thank Him for those people even when it's hard.

Love,
Han

Thanksgiving.

Oh my, I am a little late in posting this but...  Oh well, you will just have to deal with it.

I thought that with this post I would write down a few things that I was thankful for since I didn't get to do it earlier.  So, this will be two posts very mixed and mingled into one, so much so that you wont be able to make out which post was supposed to be which.

So for thanksgiving we had oh so much food, and oh so much fun, and an oh so huge turkey, actually we had two huge turkeys.  It was yummy, it was fun, it was a lot of work, it was in short wonderful.  And man oh man, that tryptophan sure did a number on me.  :)  I was so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open!

I think though out of anything my favorite part of the meal is the dessert!  Seriously, sweets are my thing, I love sugar and candy, so when dessert rolled around I was very happy, and believe me we had a lot of it.  What is your favorite part of the thanksgiving meal?

1. I am thankful for wonderful fathers that love the Lord, and their families.

Dad was cutting up the turkey and he couldn't resist having a little snack while he was at it.

2.  I am thankful for precious time spent with friends and family.

They worked on this puzzle so hard ad didn't even finish.  It was sad.  

3.  I am thankful for little boys that make me smile and laugh, like this one.

Little Bradley is quite the cowboy.  Him and Naomi get along very well.  hehehe.

 4.  for long fun conversations with dear sisters in Christ.  It was great catching up with the A. family.  :)

We had so much fun laughing and talking with these girls. 

5.  For growing up sisters who get to be better and better at helping around the house all the time.

Lydia was very tired by the end of the day.  

6.  For the time consuming art of putting together puzzles.  I am afraid I am not very good at it, I don't have enough patience to ever finish one.  :)

I think Charles was there at that puzzle most of the evening.

7.  For childhood buddies, that turn into life long friends.

These guys are so cute.  (Yes, Naomi is in this picture)

8.  For mama's that take care of and love you forever and always.  And cook awesome turkeys at thanksgiving.  :)

This turkey weighed 34 lbs.  It. Was. Huge.

I know, these guys were the center of attention that night.  :)

 9.  For precious babies, that grow into godly (in this case) young men.

Just to put your mind at ease.  No he is not dying, that purple stuff on his mouth is from 'gentian violet' and it is for thrush.  I can't believe how big he is getting!

I think that they were doing cheers here.  It was so cute to watch them.  :)

 10.  I am thankful that God provided the means for us to have a thanksgiving feast.  God is indeed good.

What is a thanksgiving day without sparkling cider anyway?  

 11. For huge tables that everyone can fit around.  :)  Dad and Josiah built this table for mom last christmas.  It is pretty awesome!

This is our table picture.  Usually for thanksgiving we set the table really nice but we didn't do that this year.  I think it had something to do with not wanting to break anymore nice plates.  Hopefully we will do that for christmas.  I always love eating out of pretty dishes, it makes the food taste that much better.  haha.

He was drinking Apples Cider out of the bottle.  I had to get a picture.

Alan looks very creepy in this picture.  On a side note...  He did make some very yummy food for all of us!  It was delicious.

 12.  I am thankful for Dessert.  It has seriously saved me from having a complete mental breakdown.  Ok, so maybe I exaggerated a little but, ya know.

Robyn made a really yummy pumpkin pie.

Charles made this.  It was kinda like a fruit pizza but not.  It was really yummy!

Mama and Lydia made this. One of my personal favorites...  Lemon Meringue Pie.  

Keziah and I made a cheesecake!  It was so yummy.  I don't know why I have never made one before.

My beautiful sis.

The A family!  Thanks so much for coming we had a fun time visiting and catching up with y'all!

13.  And last but certainly not least, I am thankful for Gods providence, I am thankful that He sent His son to die for us on the cross, and that He is in control.

Love,
Han

Learn Something New Everyday. (Eyes)

Eyes are so amazing!  I am so glad that God gave us eyes so that we can see.  Could you imagine how hard life would be without them?  

1.Your eyes are composed of more than 2 million working parts


2. Your eyes can process 36,000 bits of information every hour.


3. Colour blindness is 10 times more common in males than females


4. The eye is the only part of the human body that can function at 100% ability at any moment, day or night, without rest. 

5. The eye of a human can distinguish 500 shades of the gray.

6. The reason why your nose gets runny when you are crying is because the tears from the eyes drain into the nose.

7. Your retina contains 120 million rods for "night vision", and 8 million cones that are colour sensitive and work best under daylight conditions.

8. Under the right conditions, the human eye can see the light of a candle at a distance of 14 miles.




So sorry guys, I haven't posted at all this week...  But at least I can still throw some randomness at y'all, just to tie you over.  Oh, and I found my a camera.....  Well I did find it but is seems to be lost again.... I promise you it has legs.  Oh well, it's got to be around here somewhere and once I find it I will be posting a lot more pictures and events and stuff like that.  


Ta ta till then!

Proverbs 4:13

(Pic. taken from google)

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."

Proverbs 4:13

This picture just reminded me of something that might be in "Pilgrims Progress" or something like that, and then I remembered this verse that we read a while ago during family worship.  I just thought that the two went together perfectly.

Learn Something New Every Day. (Babies)

I Love Babies!

1. May Babies Are The Heaviest : One would think that January sees the heaviest babies given all the holiday eating but this is untrue. May is actually the month that sees the heaviest babies born. Usually about an average of 200 grams heavier than any other month.


2.They Can’t Cry : They can scream and holler for what they want or need, but newborns can’t technically cry. Tears can’t actually be created or released until about three weeks in. However, in some cases, it isn’t unusual for babies to shed their first tears until four or five months.


3. A Turned Head Means A Full Belly : Your newborn didn’t just see something interesting. If he or she turns her head at a spoonful of food, it is because they are full. This is also where shaking your head “no” comes from.


4. Super Baby! : Pound for pound, your baby is stronger than many animals. An oxen is the best example of compatible strength. Their strongest muscles? The legs.


5. Left or Right? : With a population that is ten percent left-handed, now is about the time you will begin noticing your child’s preference. However, if your baby is a twin, they are 22% likely to be left handed.




I got these from This website.  There's lots more fun facts about babies there, just in case you were curious.  :)

"180" Movie

I have been watching a lot of powerful videos lately and felt that I just had to share this one. Please repost this! Everyone needs to hear this message. Our society has been blinded by our whole system, and this is the type of message that we need to hear. Its time that we as a nation embrace the truth.

(there are some graphic scenes so just be warned)

Thanks for reading.
