Spring, Spring, Spring!

Dear Readers,

I am so happy that spring is finally here!!!!! I have been able to take some pictures of the new flowers and the new plants that are finally coming alive at our house in Belton! I truly LOVE Spring the best out of all the seasons, it brings hope to me! What is your favorite season of the year?? Why?

"For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land"

Song Of Solomon 2:11-12

"Spring flowers are in blossom all over. The whole world's a choir- and singing! Spring warblers are filling the forest with sweet arpeggios. Lilacs are exuberantly purple and perfumed, and cherry trees fragrant with blossoms."

Song of Solomon 2:12-13a

I am also starting my own herb garden this year! I have had so much fun watching my plants grow and I can't wait to use it in my food, and for medicine!

Most of the herbs are medicinal which will be very interesting! I have been studying how to make medicines and when and what to use them for. If someone has done this sort of garden before and you have some tips please, please, please, let me know!! Well, I hope you have enjoyed this post as much as I have in writing it! Till' next time!

Your Friend,

Crafting Home Decorations

As a Christian I am called to be a prayer warrior. This is much easier said then done. I have come to realize the importance of good friends that can come alongside you and keep you accountable and encourage you. This past year the Lord has brought such a wonderful friend into my life. As we have been encouraging each other to use the powerful tool of prayer, we decided we could craft a prayer board in order to remind us and encourage us to pray daily. I highly recommend doing this as a family or church craft. What a wonderful way to lift up the requests of our brethren and ourselves! I was able to introduce my friend to the wonderful store of Hobby Lobby! We may have spent a lot of money, however, it was for a good cause! I do believe they turned out very nicely! I would encourage you to ask people for prayer requests. Prayer is such a powerful tool and we are called to use it. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay...

Sisters!

God created this amazing relationship called sisters. We live together, play together, fight together, worship together and grow up together. I have two sisters and its been so much fun to become closer through the years. We aren't just sisters--we are best friends and no matter what happens we will always be there for each other. I'm not sure when this picture was but it was around 2011-2013 Bess and I at her last recital las May Grabbing lunch during our home remodel. This picture was taken in April of last year And this is a recent picture, taken on my grandmothers birthday. All I can say is I thank God for my sisters and all my family. Your Friend, Haviland~

Simpsonville Mud Run!

Dear Friends, We have had such an exciting day!! Today My sis (Bess) and I, along with some friends, participated in the Simpsonville Mud Mania! Also known as a....... Mud Run!!! We had sooooo much fun! Our team was called the Hobbits (can you guess why? lol) Left to Right is: Sarah Kelly, Chloe Patterson, Me and My sis Bess. Getting ready to start! My family (including my brother Camilo) was so sweet as to come out in the rain, & early in the morning to cheer us on. And off we go!! Our run had 24 obstacles and the course was about 3.5 miles. The obstacles included: climbing up dirt mounds, crawling in trenches full of dirty water, swimming though deeper trenches, crawling under an army jeep, crawling under logs, walking over logs, climbing steep mud hills, scaling an 10. ft. wall, and a large waterfall-- just to name a few. It took us about an 1 and a half to compete because we walked most of it. LOL Having so much f...
