Dear Reader,
Hello! Thank you for reading this! Wow. I say that like every time, don't I? =) Oh, well. Patterns can become very comforting as they go on at a slow, steady pace, never changing; increasing nor decreasing. Patterns create a safe haven where no startling change takes place, and we can figure out what will happen next. A safe, sturdy, steady haven. Ahh.. Let us all bathe for a moment in the thought of the soothingness of patterns... ahhh..
Where were we? Ah yes! I just made up a new word! Soothingness. That should be a word. I really think it should be a word! Yikes.. I sound like a nutball! Anyway..
I believe that I cannot distract you any longer! You must be curious as to what is going on with the title of this post! Well, you might not really be THAT curious, but we shall pretend you are curious and I will be happy because, at the moment, we are all pretending that we are the utmost curious creatures on the planet! Wow.. maybe I really am a nutball.. =D
Okay, FOCUS, Julia! *Deep breaths* .. Ok, I am officially a non-nutball and completely organized! Where was I? Ah yes.
Rainy Weather:
This morning, when I woke up, the first thing I heard was the soft sound of rain tapping the roof, windows, and ground. I love the sound of rain. It makes me feel all clean inside and makes me want to jump up and think of bright thoughts, like the horses I am beyond blessed to own and care for. Well the rain stopped after awhile, then several hours later it began again, this time only an icy mist. It was clod on my hands and face! It was also very cold on Carmel's neck. He seemed a little shaken up today. :( He stepped on my toe this morning! I hope he knows I'm not mad at him at all for it!
Well, I should be going now, Thank you again for reading this!

The Latest: Being Tired and Being Helpful
Dear Reader,
Hello! Thank you again for reading this! The topic of today's post is, "Being Tired and Being Helpful." I would like to tell you about my day!
Being Tired:
To start off, I would like to say that, since today is Sunday, we went to our wonderful church and had a great time. I really like talking with my friends and even talking to adults! I also really love being able to participate in the nursery! I don't know if there are babies at your church, for if you participate, but taking care of little ones has always been one of the great joys of being a little girl! Ever since I was little, I've wished deep down inside that I could have a baby of my own someday!
Anyway, we had two kids in the nursery today, and both slept like, the whole time!! And the one other worker who was in with me kept dozing off! (But that's alright! I don't blame her! I almost fell asleep myself..) I hope you had a Blessed Sunday as well!
Being Helpful:
Being helpful is a real talent that I don't always have! Helpful seems to me like being there when your needed, but staying out of the way when your not. So really what the key is, is being observant. Why I bring this up is because we moved some bedding around today, and it can be challenging to be both helpful, present, and out of the way! I will pray that we will all be more helpful to our friends, family and even to strangers. All we need to do is be observant! It's all about identifying a need and filling it!
God Bless!

The Latest: Snow Tubing in NC
Dear Reader,
Hello! Today my Dad took Jessica and I snow tubing in the North Carolina mountains! I was very fun! Both the long drive - with Jessica driving about 3/4ths of the way! - and the tubing itself!
Snow tubing is, in my opinion, the easiest snow sports. I mean snow boarding and skiing seem more difficult, as tubing us just two steps:
1. Sit down.
2. Hold on.
That is more my kind of sport! xD Haha! What kind of sport do you find difficult?
We had some friends in Michigan who showed us-every year- how to snowboard. Every year it was hard to get it! As snow tubing, all you need to do is follow the same two steps! (As show above!)
Sorry to make this post so short, but I am really tired after a long day of driving, playing, waiting, and thinking! So God bless, and good night!

The Latest: Carmel Apple did WHAT?
Dear Readers,
Listen to this! This has gotta be the biggest thing that has happened so far in the year! Okay, I know that many of you are not familiar with our property, but the barnyard and our pasture share a fence. Well, last week, Carmel was getting cold in the snow and so he started running around. Now I don't think any of the readers, besides Jessica my sister of course, have ever seen my little Carmel run! He REALLY runs fast! I can't even see his legs! He flies!! He soars!! Well he circled into the barnyard, and without a second glance, he JUMPED the fence! He flew over the highest spot in our fencing for one breathless moment. As he went over, his back feet tapped the wire fencing, and once he landed, and slowed down a bit, he limped a couple steps. But after that he shook himself off and walked away.
My jaw about slapped the floor. I was so shocked! I had think I had better admit you all that I have a dream of jumping horses. I want to fly over a fence on the back of my favorite animal! Well I suppose that saying, "Careful what you wish for," Is important! ;D hehe! Well I sure do have a jumper now! I think I wished a bit too hard..
The bad side of this is that is he can get out now. That was about the highest spot in the fence, and thankfully it had no barb wire on it, but now with one jump lower than what he just accomplished, he can get to both our neighbors, the field that we DONT own, the back yard, the front yard, and even worse, the road and on and on and on. Please pray that the little hoof tap he received will teach him not to do that! Thanks for listening!

The Latest: Forever Freedom For Gramdma
Dear Reader,
Hello there! Thank you for reading this! Ok, these next few posts will say, "The Latest," but they are not really the latest! I got behind in my posting.. again! So I am going to tell you things as if I wasn't telling you all of them at the same time! Ok? Great. =D And before I forget, HAPPY FEBUARY FIRST 2014!
First of all I must explain my title. You see, a couple weeks ago my Grandma reached Freedom Forever. She went to heaven. This is not only a time for sorrow, for she will be very glad to see her family and friends after all these years. That is something that makes living to an old age very difficult: You out-live so many people. Your friends, family, and others. Anyway, with the planning, calling, meeting, funeral, ect. we have all been very busy, so I haven't had time to write a whole lot.
So I want to wrap this up with telling you that if you are loosing a loved one, friend or relative, just remember that God knows best! "Your will not mine."
God Bless,
Julia L. C.

" I'm Back! " The Latest: Being Deep
Hello Everybody!
I'm back! I'm not sure if its for long, because I have no idea what the future will hold, but I'm here right now!
I have some good news! Lord willing, Jessica and I get to go to summer camp this year again with Rachel! I can't wait! Except I have a tiny drop if dread that makes me glad it's a long way off. :( It is this: The diving board. You see, the first year when I went to camp, I was 9 years old and all I did was look at that scary board. Well, last year, the second time we went, I actually got out of the pool, got in line, waited, climbed on the board, walked to the end looked down, ... and turned around and came back off! I admit to being a slight coward, but I'm terrified that that water will swallow me up whole and I can't surface again. The first time I did anything like that was a water slide. When it got to my turn I let the kid behind me go. And the next kid, and the next, and the next! When the lifeguard told me I had to go or come down I decided to go eventually. Jessica came to me at the end, I forgot how to swim in the panic I guess!
Besides that one, there was one other bad experience with water that I have: last year I decided to jump off a rock that was about 5 feet above the water. Some other kids were jumping off and I guess I felt like I had to. I was wearing my life vest, but when I jumped, the next thing I knew the world seemed to stop. I knew I was deep under and I felt trapped. I came up sobbing. My Dad caught me then. I was alright. But I never forgot the frozen feeling of being deep.
So what do you think? I'm really scared and the butterflies in my stomach at the end of the board at camp might just be a bit too much for me to handle. Do I wait? P.S. I didn't exaggerate, but usually this type of thing isn't as bad as it really sounds.
Thank you all for being such a wonderful, silent, and open audience for my crazy brain occurrences!
And Thank you Julia, Rachel and Jessica for ALL being my BFFs!
