I love this.
My room is the north pole of valentines day.
Remember, don't forget.
Sometimes things happen which make no sense to us. However, God is never caught off guard. Nothing surprises God. He hears all, sees all, knows all. There is such comfort in knowing that, especially in times like these.
I've never had a big brother...
Have you ever wondered what Exmouth, England looks like?
Well you’re in luck, there is a webcam on the sea front and in the city center.
So, if you’re curious to see the cute little city I live in just click HERE.
(I’m not going to lie, I find it a bit strange that I walk through town almost everyday and just found out that there is a webcam yesterday.)
I have a confession to make...
I, Ariel Joy Weddle, am a hopeless romantic.
Having said that it’s no surprise that Valentines day is one of my favorite holidays. I know it can be extremely commercial. However, the way I see it is that it is a day to express your love for others. Although you should be doing this daily it gives you a day to go over the top. Valentines day is an opportunity to pause and say I love you....
Good morning Friday.
I thought you’d never come.
Todays excitement.
vanity.
How cute are these?
‘
I really like ‘em.
I’m going to try and make one. It’s just a matter of finding a craft store. The UK is a sad place, void of Michael’s, JoAnne’s and even Blick. I’ll have to think like MacGyver. I will let you know how it goes.
praise Jesus.
Contentment is a beautiful thing.
Today I realized how blessed I am to be in this season of my life. I have never been happier to be single and childless. I am not bound by the responsibilities of marriage nor motherhood. Instead, I am free. I know that this time is a gift and that this season is for but a moment. However for now I am content, completely.
ridiculous.
I can’t sleep so I thought I’d share my current extremely random thoughts.
- I haven’t done anything creative in the past month. If I don’t create something soon I think my bones may break and my body will collapse. Not having time to do art is killing me.
- I’ve decided that I was not made for this weather. My hands have been blue for the past week because...
not just knitting needles and rocking chairs.
“I sometimes ask myself how it came about that I was the one to develop the theory of relativity. The reason, I think, is that a normal adult never stops to think about problems of space and time. These are things which he has thought about as a child.”
- Albert Einstein
Forever young,
Growing up shouldn’t mean losing your sense of wonder, inquisitive nature, nor your lust for life....
take flight.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
- Galatians 5:1
The door has been opened. Fly. Do not be fooled by the false sense of comfort of you have created in your cage. By grace you are free. No longer caged nor chained. The fetters have been broken. Liberation is here. By grace you are...
So You Think You Can Dance?
For some reason the BBC makes it even better.
Belated.
I can not even begin to describe how blessed I am to call this woman my mother. She is the strongest yet most humble person I know. When I think about what it looks like to be a true woman of God she is who I picture. Her indescribable strength, amazing humility, unending love and compassion, as well as her delicate servants heart inspire me daily. Her love is incredible. She is incredible. I...
Technical difficulties.
Sorry for falling behind. I have been without my computer…
Luckily I have an amazing friend named Sarah Pike who saved the day. Thanks Sarah, no thanks Mac.
My mind is all over the place. I guess you could say I’m exhausted.
I miss warmth. All I want to do is to sleep in the sun on the warm cement.
You can't win 'em all.
Today was one of those days.
“Don’t ask me how I’m doing If you don’t wanna know I stayed up too late Woke up late Oh, you know how it goes Give off the vibe that everything’s fine As long as, as long as You don’t look in my eyes”
I don’t want to become a person defined by circumstances.
old school.
"And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood!
Died he for me? who caused his pain!
For me? who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?"
See, sometimes hymns aren't so bad.
Change is in the air.
Work.
This is what I do at work when the only computer that prints signs me off:
It was a very productive day.
Happy Birthday Lori.
Since I was missing Hume I decided to check out the webcam and saw this:
How cute is that? Whoever Lori is she is loved.
stalling.
Loads of planing, unsuccessful scheduling, and endless homework.
(Mom you should be proud, I am wearing my glasses)
p.s: The past is a funny thing.
Please keep the people of Haiti in your prayers. Officials fear that more than 100,000 people have died as a result of Tuesday’s 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Please pray.
It’s sad how easily we turn our eyes from pain. We chose to ignore the suffering. I am grateful to see the outpouring of support in Haiti, however, where was the support a month ago? Did you know that Haiti is one...
Today I am…
agitated cold excited frustrated nauseated nervous optimistic terrified tired unsettled
I am so thankful God knows exactly what I need. Good conversations and dreaming, I love it.
This life is beautiful.
The future is bright.
It is true.
Hindsight is always 20/20.
I bet it's sunny in San Diego.
Sarah and I have been keeping a list of all the movies we’d like to watch. Since we’ve had some free time we decided why not be productive and cross some of those films off the list. So, we rented My Sister’s Keeper, Young At Heart, The Proposal, and Slumdog Millionaire. All four are wonderful films.
However, Slumdog Millionaire hit me hard. If you haven’t seen it I...
just the beginning.
There is more.
“In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident in this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:4-6
joy.
God is good.
two thousand ten.
I’m not usually one for new years resolutions. Frankly, it’s because I lack will power. This year, however, is going to be different. This year I resolve to fall in love. 2010 is going to be the year I get lost in love.
Now before you think too far ahead it is important to note that I do not mean girl meets boy and they live happily ever after. Instead I resolve this year to fall more...
Year of new.
Amsterdam, the first country I stepped foot on in 2010.
I wonder where I’ll end up the rest of this year.
Here’s to 2010!
