just because-

Watching some of these lady's videos with my 2 little bros, when one of them goes, 'you mean to tell me she just talks to herself??!'. Haha, I love how perfectly straight forward they put everything... :)

little piece of advice...

Really you guys, just don't do it... : /

Wednesday Words- this is me diving.

"If we all started living more like Jesus, and less like Christians, we'd see this world change like never before."

 It was weird, I had literally just been discussing something along these lines with a friend, and then a little bit later... I saw this quote. and liked it. 

Basically we were sayin'... so many people give us Christians a bad name. All they ever tell you is the 'can' and 'cannot's' of Christianity. But um... where's the love? the grace. the forgiveness. I mean, seriously? Really, that's one of my biggest fears. Being a lukewarm Christian who has all the lingo down, and can quote you a Bible verse on any issue you're facing... but deep down be the biggest hypocrite alive. We've all had experience with that one person sometime in our life that we were just like 'wow, if that's what Christians are like than count me out.' Honestly, before I was saved I could have named about 5 of those. In my mind, I was a better person than they were because hey, at least I didn't claim the name of Christ and still act that way. I guess to me, if you're going to say you're a Christian (follower of Christ), then we need to try our hardest to really live that out. Something that kinda helps put that into perspective for me... is really, we may be the only Bible that some people will ever read. Think about that! We have incredible influence on those around us. Seriously, don't ever think that people aren't watching the way you act. I promise you, they are! Especially people that don't know the Lord. Because to them... there's something different about us. And it intrigues them, confuses them, and makes them mad all at the same time. Not saying we're gonna be perfect. You know as well as I do that we can all be jerks. If you're thinking 'not me', well, I don't believe it. :P So I guess my point in all this rambling, yes, there kind of is one... ;) Is that, as Christians, we have a tremendous. amazing, responsibility. Love Christ.... and make His love known to others. Be the kind of person that makes people stop and go 'hey, there really is something different about them. I want what they have'. Not the one where people go 'ha, and she calls herself a Christian? She's no different than me!'. And trust me, I realize that this is a lot easier said than done. For me, today was a perfect example of that. *i was a jerk. lol But no, seriously, I'm trying. I really am. Just do your best and ask God to help you. That's all we can do.

And there! are Hannah's thoughts for the night. :) Goodnight, blogger world.


Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. -Tim. 4:12

monday musings-

So I have this adorable, sometimes annoying, little sister. And I'm her adorable, sometimes annoying, big sister. We have lots of fun together. I.e... today we had to get up at 7 and go watch our friend's puppy for the day. But man, this girl is such a sport. Reason? I am not a morning person. I'm just not. I mean, I try, I really do. But yeah, don't think that's ever going to change. So just ftr, never come to my house before 10 or I'll just hug you, no words will be spoken. #notevenkidding  

Anyways, so yeah, today we were kinda bored while watching said puppy, so we went out and took some pictures.

She is so photogenic it's ridiculous.

 She takes such cute, serious pictures.... 

but me? I just can't. 

I mean, I can, but it's just, ya know... sort of an awkward. ish. kinda thing for me.

(oh, and she has dimples! Which I find incredibly cute. they're right up there with blue eyes.) 

So yes, this? This is more my style. 

Then we try and get some together... and yeah, they turned out a little bit awkward. *note to self: 50mm lens is not the greatest idea for self portraits. So I'll spare you and just post one so you get the general idea. Got it? 

Aww, see she's a dork too. :) 

^ and the puppy. for all you puppy loving people. her name's Remi. yes, she's kind of adorable, I know. :) 

HAPPY MONDAY!

a man after my own heart-

So here's the thing... Dr Seuss may have been a little eccentric, but man, I really love all his stuff. Yes, I will probably never live this down now... but it's all good. He's cool. *was. He just had a really amazing, but simple, way of putting things. I like people like that. :) Imagine having a conversation with him... he's probably one of very few people that I could actually manage to keep up with. He spoke my language... "nonsense is good for you. It wakes up the brain cells!!" Lol Eh? It is so weird that I'm a born and raised Floridian... but I say 'eh'. (that rhymed) Ohhhhhhhh well! Okay, well I am off to go pick up a friend... and go do something. No, we don't plan in advance. :p Have a great weekend, all you people!
