daughter of the King

An old man walked across the beach until he came across a young boy throwing something into the breaking waves. Upon closer inspection, the old man could see that the boy was tossing stranded starfish from the sandy beach, back into the ocean.

“What are you doing, young man?” He asked.
“If the starfish are still on the beach when the sun rises, they will die,” the boy answered.
“That is ridiculous. There are thousands of miles of beach and millions of starfish. It doesn’t matter how many you throw in; you can’t make a difference.”

“It matters to this one,” the boy said as he threw another starfish into the waves. “And it matters to this one.”

Today I challenged myself to get everything important done before noon.

As of now I’ve…

washed, folded/hung-up all my laundry

washed my sheets (I have yet to apply them to my bed)

Got a good chunk of my paper for school out of the way

shopped for vests for my prom date

played with my puppy

tidied up my stairs as well as the living room

Minorly productive day for Lillie! And though I didn’t finish everything before noon, I got a lot done! Impressed myself a bit. (:

“Do nothing from selfish or empty conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as more important than himself.”

- Philippians 2:3 (via savedbymercyandgrace)

falling to my knees today as I realize that today is not about me at all, thank you God for dying for me. Forgive me for not acting like it.

Random thoughts with Lillie.

I hear a lot of people say “my husband/wife will come first in everything.” I don’t understand how your children aren’t first. If you bring some human creature into this world that is innocent and unable to defend themselves, they are first. You should protect and love them more than anyone else. Parents should work together to do this and love each other through it but should sacrifice of themselves in order to do what is right for their child. Just a thought of the day. Thank you and stay tuned as I speak about organic foods and vegan footwear.

Today I received a “carnation”, or so they called it, today in class. It was a beautiful yellow flower with a tag from a friend. That is how he proceeded to ask me to prom. He’s a great friend and that was a wonderful pick me up. I thoroughly enjoy friends who will go out of their way to make your day delightful. Thank you Lord for your blessings!

1. I have been recieving lots of wake-up calls lately.. wake-up calls saying “Lillie, my daughter, I have blessed you beyond compare. You are my beloved.”

2. I am getting a dog. WEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

3. I’m going to just start showing up a people’s houses with cupcakes if they continue to ignore me.

4. I had a great night last night on a ladies date. We went to chick-a-fil, sweet CiCis and TJ Maxx. (I paid for my friend and I’s icecream with a buy one get one half off coupon and a bunch of quarters though I clearly had usable money on my debit card. #savingmoney)

5. I made the coolest craft project that says Grace Like An Ocean. It’s a great reminder.

6. My father is calling me, so I must go downstairs.

This list is to be continued. Tune in tonight at 6 for a full report of my days progress.
