Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love ya, Tomorrow!

Ok so I have not been blogging in a long time! I wanted to say that I just love this green background on my blog and that I will be back to normal, semi-regular blogging, in just a couple of weeks. YAY! Wedding=B-U-S-Y. Phew!

Well I wanted to post a few words of encouragement as I don't have much else going on in my world that my other blog doesn't already cover. So keep your heads up and your spirits bright as we slowly but surely move out of this sunless winter weather!

The day dawn is breaking, the world is awaking,
The clouds of night’s darkness are fleeing away.
The worldwide commotion, from ocean to ocean,
Now heralds the time of the beautiful day.

Yes that is a hymn, and it's not talking about weather, but I thought it was invigorating. Well to add onto that, here is a little trivia...this is another song that is equally invigorating. If you can tell me what it comes from you will receive 1,000 points! Yes that's right, 1,000 points! That's a lot, and you can use them for whatever you wish!...

"Well there's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of everyday!"

Good Luck!

Happy Wedding!

Ok everyone, I made a second blog for the wedding so you can see pictures and hear all the details. Here's the link: robananna.blogspot.com. Please check it out. I've had it done for awhile and have been bad about spreading the word. Sorry! I'll probably keep this blog for after we're married, as our "family" blog as well as this one. How strange to say that. YAY! Hope everyones holidays went spledidly well!

This week the stationary bike and a movie were simply howling my name. I decided on Akeelah and the Bee. I was supremely impressed! Amidst the endorphins, I was deeply moved. It was a wonderful film about hope, dreams, and family. The film champions the hard work and faith it takes to overcome obstacles, and showcases the faith and kindness of a child. Akeelah helps us remember we should never stop believing in ourselves and others. We need to remember that through God anything is possible!

This quote was repeated numerous times in the film and has been pressing on my mind ever since:

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some, it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

-Marianne Williamson-

It is my testimony that we are children of God! I am blessed to be a daughter of our Heavenly Father and I want more than ever to make manifest the glory of God within me! Have a very Merry Christmas and remember the reason we are celebrating! We are celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
