30 Day Challenge {Day 30}

Day 30!!!

Question #30: A motto or philosophy.
I don't really have one...yet

-------------------------------------------------------------
Lord,

 make me an instrument of your peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon:

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope

where there is darkness, light

where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Amen.

~St. Francis of Assisi

30 Day Challenge {Day 28}

this was dewy foggish stuff on the window.. it wasn't rain. 

Question #28: A scar you have and its story.
Um...I have a barb-wire scar on my leg, I was crawling between the fence and the person who was holding down the barbwire accidentally let go of it and it bounced up and made a gash in my leg. I didn't have to get stitches though.
I will save you guys from a picture too..hehe actually its not bad. :)

Question #26: A special childhood memory

Umm....*goes back to the back recesses of the brain* (as my Bible teacher says!!)

I remember the time I got my talking doll. I was probably about 6 years of age. And I remember opening this box and wondering what it was. It came in a pink suit, and cute pink and white hat, and with a bottle that had fake milk.
 The doll was soft except for its hands, head, and feet, and if you put the bottle in it's mouth it would make noises.   It would say "Mama", cry, sleep...and something else I can't remember. I named it Annabelle, which I'm not sure why, especially since I don't like the name very much now. :]
It was a Chou-Chou doll. And here it is:

Her suit is now stained and stretched. Mysteriously, one day she had huge blue stains one her lovely suit from a random marker.
Well, there is a special memory from my childhood.


P.S There is a lovely 4 day giveaway going on over at Umbrella Girl. So, be sure to enter.
