Peace


I just have a simple, yet powerful message from the Bible today. Isaiah 32:17.

Peace
Quietness
Assurance

If you are looking for any of these, look no further. The Bible has all the answers.

Blessings,
Alyssa

Do You See Beauty?


Do you see beauty in the small things?
The hard things?
The uncomfortable things?

Water drops are small,
And frozen hard.
The limbs creak and bend
Under the unwanted weight.

But the sun still shines.
Can we see the beauty in it?

Each frozen water drop
Reflects a small image
Of the sun that warms the Earth.

Blessings,
Alyssa

Looking for Perfection


Any pretty road has hills and curves.
(in my opinion)

Our life may also have
high points and low points
or a curve we can't see around.

Thank God for such a beautiful life.
Walk it with your hand in His.
And know that His way is perfect.

Never...

Me?! 
Staying up past 1 a.m. to re-design my blog?
Never.


Goodnight,

Hello.


Hello everyone. Remember that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

Hello Friday. It's such a comfort that you arrive just on time every week.

Hello sunshine. I enjoyed your warmth today.

Hello telephone. I never knew you would be such a blessing. ;)

Hello telephone. I never knew you could be such an annoyance. (This girl does not like an upset elderly lady to hang up on her.)

Hello New Year. I expect I'll be facing harder things this year, but also enjoying greater joy.

Hello 2013. I realized today that I've lived more years in the new millennium than I lived in the old millennium (1900's).

Hello journal. I would be very lost without you.

Hello new job. Has it already been over three months? I must say, I like working at the Seneca News Dispatch.

Hello to my best friend. Enjoy your time back home in West Virginia, but come back soon.

Blessings,
Alyssa

~Wild~


There's a place in this world that and claims to be "wild and wonderful."


God made such a wonderful world.
There are some places especially
Where wild meets wonderful.
However,
Wonderful is only an opinion.

So, I was looking through some of my pictures today, and decided to try out the lighting effects in Photoshop. I changed everything. All the options. haha  Hey, the best way to learn is to experiment. This is what it did:
