"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."  

Proverbs 22:6

This photo was taken when I was

3 years old.  

It is fun to look back at old photos of yourself 

and see all the changes :) 

Patricia :: Cats

Eeeeeeeee! I'm late. And I'm sorry. Way back when we first started this blog, I was Tuesday, and I now I can't get it out of my head. Ahh well.
 
My picture is of a cat. Specifically a cat named Bella who lives in my grandparents neighborhood. She doesn't belong to anyone, but everyone feeds her. She roams around and often times turns up with some big cut or other. Quite the fighter. :) Besides that she is very affectionate, purring deeply  when getting stroked or when she's rubbing herself on your legs.

I like her. So THIS is Bella.

not to harm you."

Sister Time! ~Tricia Week 3

Guess who's here today?! My sister, Laina, is home from college for her Fall Break!!! How dear she is. There are some things in life that you ponder how on earth God ever saw fit to give you such an incredible blessing. My sisters are one of those. I am blessed beyond belief to call them my sisters. So thankful  for all the times we have shared together.

So glad to haver her with us this weekend!! :D

Laina and I goofing around at an antique store. :)

Love this silly girl! To give you a taste of my hilarious Laina, here's a video from her last birthday, where we told her that in reminiscence of her 1st birthday she had to eat her cake with no hands. :) Enjoy!

Have a joyous day! :D

"Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, 'The LORD has done great things for them.'" ~Psalm 126:2

I graduated from high school this year.  It was a wonderful time of fellowship with all of my friends!  Our good friends came for the weekend, and it was a special time with them!

L-R : Emily, Stephen, Myself and my brother Andy.
Our friends who came to visit for my graduation!  This was at a steakhouse right before the graduation.

This is my parents and me when I received my high school diploma. Behind us were all my fellow homeschool graduates!

This is my very good friend Elaine and the gift she gave me with one of my favorite verses (see below)!

L-R : Daddy, Mommy, my brother Billy, my sister Amy, Emily, Steve, Myself, my brother Andy and my sister Katie.
This was the last night Emily and Steve were with us - we went out to frozen custard!!!! It was a ball!


 "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." -2 Corinthians 1: 9-10

  I was encouraged by these verses and this hymn today.  It is wonderful to see scripture in a in a song and then to be able to have a song in your heart throughout the day!

Psalm 108: 1-5

"My heart is steadfast, O God!  I will sing and make melody with all my being!  

Awake, O harp and lyre!  I will awake the dawn!

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens!  Let your glory be over all the earth!"

Patricia :: {Mary + Ocean Sunrise} two-thousand and twelve

Good afternoon world. 

The picture below is most probably one the best pictures I have ever taken. I love it soso much! The girl jumping is my twin. She got up really early in the morning {just} so I could do a sunrise photoshoot of her. :) Warms my little heart.

Mary + Sunrise + Ocean + Photography = PERFECT

Hanna...Week 2

Some of the things I really enjoy doing are photography, Dance and Sewing/Fashion.

I own my own business, Sugar 'n' Spice where I sell doll, Baby and Women's attire. Visit:

sugarnspicedesigns-h.blogspot.com

In the past year I have really grown to love photography. Taking pictures is something I really enjoy. This was one of my favorites.

I have been dancing with CMA for 5 years and this year at their summer dance camp I choreographed my own dance and performed it at their reach-out project. Dancing is diffidently one of my passions. Besides worship dance I enjoy Ballet and Hip-Hop.

Have an awesome weekend!!

"She sets about her work vigorously;
    her arms are strong for her tasks.
¹⁸ She sees that her trading is profitable,
    and her lamp does not go out at night.
¹⁹ In her hand she holds the distaff
    and grasps the spindle with her fingers." 

~Proverbs 31:18-19

Tricia....

Have you ever thought about that fact that we were *made* for relationships with people? Made to have friends and companions to grow with, laugh with, cry with, and relate with? It's how we're wired. As a 100% extrovert person, I think that is one of the coolest aspects of being made in God's image (among SO many other things!)!!

"Our lives were meant to be lived with others. As echoes of the Trinity, we remember something. Made in the image of a perfect relationship, we are relational to the core of our beings and filled with a desire for transcendent purpose. We long to be an irreplaceble part of a shared adventure.{God's adventure for us}."
~John and Stasi Eldredge from the book "Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul"

Isn't that beautiful? That we're not just going on this adventures alone? By ourselves? We get to share it, and reflect the most perfect relationship ever lived!!

"Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of one's friend springs from his earnest counsel." ~Proverbs 27:9

Happy Thursday! :D

Psalm 103:15-18 says:

"As for man, his days are like grass;  As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them."
 

Hope you all have a blessed week!
