So today, like I said, it is raining. So I thought I would post about rain and how I adore rain boots (even if it's not raining I LOVE to wear my cute lil' gray rain boots!) and umbrellas! :)
Sometimes I kinda really like when it rains. Feels cozy in the house, you can hear the rain on the roof, and all the windows are wet with dripping water.

If you knew me well you would know that I'm a bit obsessed with rain boots ;) I don't know why, but I l.o.v.e rain boots! I could easily start collecting rain boots! I already have a gray pare (that I wear all.the.time). And I have one dark green "hunter's" rubber boots, (that I also love!).
But I really, really want a pare of bright red rain boots. Like ya know, the traditional red rain boots?! I think they are so adorable! So I'm saving up for one more pare of rain boots. Bright red. Then, I will be content :) Now, seriously, it's not a life and death situation that if I didn't get my red rain boots I would just die! No! I rather spend my money on useful things and use it on giving gifts to others. But you know, I can dream I guess, right?! So, I dream of getting a pare of red rain boots :)
Have you ever splashed around in puddles or played around in Spring rain?! If you haven't, you need to do both at least one time in your life :) It is so fun! haha, I know, I'm kinda lame ;) but come on! I delight in simple things! Like the smell of fresh flowers, catching snow flakes on my tongue, seeing the grass start to turn green in the Spring, running in big fields, listening and watching little birds fly around and perch themselves on branches in trees, splashing in puddles in the rain, ect...
All these simple but sweet things that I take delight in make me feel like a little innocent girl again.
A girl that use to run in the forests imagining she's on a big draft horse galloping through the country side.
A little girl who dreamed big dreams without letting people steal her joy away.
A little fearless girl who didn't have a care in the world what people thought of her as she sat at the top of a big trees with her siblings at her side.
A little girl who would lay in the big field of violets and not have the slightest care if there was little creeping spiders in the long grass.
Yep...those were the good old days of my childhood life...
Anyway, now that I just took you down a rambling memory lane, I think I shall end this post before you find this post is too long to read and decide to skip over my blog. lol.
Comment and feel free to make my day!!! God bless!
A Servant 4 Christ,

This post was beautiful! It's funny, because no too long ago I was writing a letter to a friend stating that life is changing so fast and although I look forward to what's ahead, I sometimes whish that I could stay a little girl always, playing silly games, and pretending to be a horsy ( :
ReplyDeleteChildhood is sweet!
I will get back to you soon about emailing, I'd LOVE to, but I wil have to check with Dad, cuz we're pretty strick about emailing people on the internet, I think it'll be fine though, I'll just have to get round to asking pemission, we've just been busy with a lot of things lately.
Love Lauren xo
I know :) sometimes I just really wish I was a lite girl again :) but then again I'm excited about the things God has planned for me in the road ahead :)
DeleteOh I totally get what ya mean about permission in emailing people over the internet! it's the same way here :) so if you can't email, it's okay and I totally understand. :)
I feel the same way... it's so amazing to ponder life, and see how far I've come and how things have changed. I have had many tearful days of wishing I could go back, but now I'm coming to a place of loving where I am now and looking forward to the future, and being joyful just to remember those days without wishing them back.
ReplyDeleteOh and I love nature! All those little things... God made them for His and our delight, and I don't ever want to take them for granted :)
Yes, same here. I have had many days of wishing I could go back to some of my past. Not all of it, there was too much pain in the past to want to go through it again. But some of the sweet memories I have of my old home of the forest, my imagination and the wild life are treasured forever. But, I'm excited to move on in the future and praise God for bringing me out of the past!
ReplyDeleteHave you seen "North And South" by Elizabeth Gaskell? It is such a good movie. It reminds me in the movie how she wishes she could go back to her peaceful home in the South. She wants so bad to go back to it. And one day she does go visit her old home. And it wasn't the same. It was dirty and not all how she remembered.
I love how God keeps us moving. And He shows us along the way that He is bringing a new future and that we don't have to live in the past. For He's always bringing beautiful new...
