Not Broken!

Hurricanes have stumbled upon us, earthquakes have shaken our very souls, and fires have burned our hopes. In a time of brokenness and pain, we frantically search for something to hold on to, something to grasp. We are all hanging by threads that become more and more fragile the more we cling to them. Above the uproar of waves of frantic people, and under the terrible skies of darkness and devastation, we still cling to faith, we hope against hope, we triumphantly get up when we fear we have no strength left. We rebuild our walls even if they have been torn down hundreds of times. We persevere even when we can't see our goal. This is the true spirit of faith, hope, and the undying flame of unquenchable joy.

Although many of us have suffered many burdensome losses, we know it is not the end. With renewed vigor we will press on, and with help form the One above, we will keep running the good race! We may be shaken, but we are not broken.


Keep up the faith!

Slime Time!

Yep, the slime frenzy finally hit me. You can stretch it, you can tear it, and put it all together again. How addictive is this thing? I love slime. And after you make it, so will you.

Then set it aside. Next, pour out your Elmer’s glue and add the food coloring. Little by little, add your activator, but make sure you don’t add too much of the borax solution or else your slime won’t be as stretchy and flexible. The more you play with your slime the more manageable it will become. If it feels too sticky, add more of your solution. That’s how easy it is to make slime! If you want, at this point, you can add glitter to your slime. Be creative and go wild! I do recommend you use Elmers’s glue because other glues are not as stretchy. And a

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Please sit back and feel comfortable as I show you around. To start with, I love reading and drinking tea! As C.S. Lewis said: "You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." That's me! I'm currently obsessed with tea! It's so yummy, especially on a cold and rainy day. So, now you know about me, let's get to the reason you're sitting back comfortably and I'm showing you around. As I said earlier, I love reading. Last year I read 109 books! (I know, I'm crazy.) This year I've read 82 books so far. Not doing too bad am I? I hope I can at least read 120 books this year, that is, if I don't run out of money first. Do you spend all your money on books? I do. I shouldn't, but I do. Anyway, on this blog I plan to talk about books I've read, things I've baked, things I've done, and last but not least, my reading experience and what I like and dislike about books. So make sure y
