Answered Prayers and Talking Birds

My life is much like a roller coaster and I'm realizing it more and more every day. It's absolutely crazy how one day will be fabulous and the next will be the exact opposite. My mood is greatly affected by my mom's mood so if she's having a bad day, I have a bad day. That's not a good thing but I'm so close to her that it just happens that way. And it's okay.

It's okay because I see so many prayers being answered and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced. I definitely haven't felt God's love in my home for a while. I've felt it in my life, but not in my home. Well, lately, the good days have turned to fabulous days and the awful days have just turned to bad days. I shouldn't speak so soon because things can change in an instant but as of right now, I'm so happy for the prayers that have been sent my family's way because they are being answered!

And this long weekend has been nothing but joy, minus one little day, and I'm so thankful. My mom has more energy than she has had in three years and not only has she visited a lot of great friends and had a lot of great friends visit her, but we've gone places and enjoyed our days! Today we got to go visit some birds and dogs because my mom's friend's sister is taking care of them and it was wonderful. One of the birds is ninety years old and talks so we laughed and laughed. I took some videos and some pictures that I'm so excited to share! The videos are a bit small because I stupidly filmed them vertically on my phone but if you enlarge it, you can see better. Also, it's a little hard to tell whether the bird is making noises/talking or if it's us but just listen carefully. It's so fun! :) I love when he meows. Best thing ever.

Outfit VII

Today was my first full day off from school and it was great. I am slowly realizing that because I don't have a job and all my friends do, that I may be bored a lot of the time, but my excuse is that I'm leaving next year. I want to spend time with my mom and I want to adventure as much as I possibly can with whoever is around. I say that every summer but this one feels different. I may not see my high school friends ever again after summer is over and if I do, it'll be a while. Coordinating some fun trips may be tough and it may not happen, but I'm going to try! Graduation hasn't arrived for me yet and it definitely hasn't sunk in that my life is going to change next year. I think I've cut my mind off from being able to understand it all because I'm so scared but I know that the Lord is going to guide me through it all and that gives me so much peace. His plan is my plan.

And speaking of graduations, one of my beautiful friends is graduating tonight and since dressing up is one of my favorite things to do, I picked out a dress to wear there and thought I'd do a little outfit post before I left. So here's today's outfit. :)
