Amelia's Menagerie

    I really don't know why I wanted to write this, but it felt right, so here goes. Why are we here? Does anybody know the reason? I do. I even know our purpose. Our purpose is to glorify and enjoy  God forever. Have you ever gotten out of bed and thought, "I need to glorify God in all I do today"? I thought not. I struggle sometimes with thinking that God isn't real, and then I look outside and laugh at myself. How could He not be?     Look at that flower. It is very small, yet so intricately made and it's perfect. God knew that this flower would make me smile. This tiny speck of a flower was made uniquely by the Creator of the entire universe. For me. And probably for someone else, too. If God were not real, it would be impossible for anything to be. At all. And then, how would we be here? And how would we appreciate beauty while everything else ignores it unless it needs it to survive? I appreciate beauty, a lot. I love to just sit down and marvel at it...

     Soooooooo, I am actually alive! I am so sorry for not posting for a while, and I hope this makes up for it. Lots of things have been going on lately, and you guys probably want to know about them. Okay, lets get to it, then.  I am hatching several chicken eggs, 20 to be exact, and some of those are going to hatch on Monday and Tuesday. I have some other eggs that will hatch in a few weeks, as well. The chickens are back to laying again, but the ducks are still not giving us any eggs. I had soccer practice for the first time this season, and it was great, although a lot of my old team went to another team. I am happy to be getting back into soccer, and we have our first game this weekend against some friends from church. I am really happy right now, as flowers are popping up everywhere, and if you have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I really like bouquets and such. I love writing on this blog, as well, so I am in a pretty good mood. That explain...
