Pioneer Days

Well it's been a little while since my last/first post. Lol :) Finding the time to write is a lot more challenging than I suspected it would be! However I don't have school this week; so now I have plenty of time! One thing I don't think I mentioned in my last post is that I am on my high schools drill team. For those of you who don't know what drill team is, it's a dance team of girls who try out and are selected to compete and perform on the football field at friday night games ( if your from Texas you know how important Friday night football is, lol :)) Lucky for me my director is a strong Christian woman who doesn't allow us to do "questionable" dance moves or dress imodestly. Any way that's not really the subject of this post. Today however in drill team practice my co chaplain ( yes I'm also the chaplain of our team) and I were discussing our favorite movies, the love comes soflty series! Which lead to the discussion of how we thought we were born in the wrong time period. Now of course we know that we weren't born in the wrong time period because we know that the Lord placed us in 2010 for a reason. But still we like to joke about how we sometimes still wish we were Laura ingalls wilder! Which took my mind on an adventure:) It's on nice days like today when you walk outside and are overwhelmed with the most pleasant breeze and smell of crip air, that you wish that the world wasn't such a hectic place, but rather as simple and peaceful as the days of the fictional character Christy Huddleston :) I do so wish sometimes that there was no modern technology; no lights, no television, and no phones, no cars etc... Back to basic simplicities so that we might enjoy Gods creations with no distractions. Nothing but peace so that we might hear Gods quite whisper, instead of the constant hum of hurried people all over the world.  There is nothing more amazing or awesome to me than standing in the middle of a field of tall grass while a steady breeze blows by, times like that are what truly make my heart say praise the Lord! Oh how I wish we could all be content with the simple things of life! Well that's about all that's on my mind. I'll write again tomorrow morning :) Good night all! Hayden Lorraine ~Ecclesiastes 3:1
