Seasonal Mix up, yet Seasonal Tidings

A sudden rush and a tiny flutter
as little wings wrap around her finger.
The maiden voyage of springs new life,
in the dawn of mornings first light.

Not at all accurate for this current glorious season of golden hues ad ruby reds.
However, I thought of it today, and felt like sharing it with the world.

ADD moment: I bought this vintage skirt today that I have been watching
on eBay. Or rather my parents bought it for me. Oh how lovely they are.
Initially the skirt was for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I'll wear it much more
than that... Now I just need to figure out what top to wear with it... Perhaps thrift store shopping is in order:)

Autumn And Somethings I Adore

Autumn always brings a fresh wave of artistic charm that never fails to inspire me. I find reflection in God's wondrous creation and a silent beauty in the changing trees that fails for words. I have been missing the sound of rain, and am now happy to say that I have been able to bask in it a few times in the last week. Today, as the first few drops of rain hit my windshield, I turned off my radio and listened to the rain instead. I even hesitated in the rain, relishing the cold sensation, before heading to dry land. Somehow, despite the cold, wet of rain it almost felt warm.

Some things that I am adoring this glorious season:

Falling asleep to Auto-bible (on my phone)
Corduroys paired with a flannel and ballet flats
Layering tanks, shirts, sweaters, jackets, and funky tights
English or Earl Grey Tea with cream and honey
Jane Austen's novels
An art book that I rented from the school library (that I have until the 2nd of November)
The sound of cellos

Abortion: Tested Like Lab Rats

*An embryo is the earliest stage of human development. Virtually every text book (besides the ones for pro-murder), state that," Fertilization marks the beginning of life in the new individual human being."*

Not only is abortion murder but it also uses humans (yes they are humans, no matter how small, or how "developed" they are) for lab experimentation. Human embryos are destroyed every day, and used for testing every day. And can you believe that they have legalized this?! It's not acceptable to use "full grown" human beings for testing, even for the simplest things like shampoo or lotion... But its okay to rip a child from the womb of its mother, and then transport it to a lab where it is frozen and used for experimentation. As if that isn't enough, the ones that they don't use are thrown in the trash. The trash!

The argument that ESCR (Embryotic Stem Cell Research) presents over this whole deal, is funding. (Serious? Funding?) Because such an organization kills human beings, they don't want taxpayers to fund it. They don't want taxpayers to fund murder. By this statement, ESCR openly admits that what they are doing IS MURDER. So, lets not let the public foot the bill... Never-mind that Embryotic stem cells are obtained by killing a child.

This doesn't occur to embryos alone... Partial birth abortion (which has also been legalized), ends in a dumpster. The abortion of a partially born child, who can feel everything, is literally ripping them to pieces. I can't even say that without tearing up. Imagine the amount of pain... Then, like a fish, they are wrapped in newspaper and thrown away.

Every time I see the precious face of a baby, I think of the millions being murdered and want to just grab every baby near me, and hold them tight. The thought that this going on, daily, makes me sick to my stomach.

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate."
Psalms 127:3-5

Strength

" In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, you have been grieved by various trials. So that the testing of your faith-- more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire-- may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
8 Though you do not now see him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome
of your faith, the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1:1

I found this verse and wanted to share it with you all. What it is saying is so wonderful and joyful, despite our trials, that I almost can't wrap my mind around it. In this verse I found strength and love and truth. I hope it is a comfort and a blessing to you all as well.

Hello blog world.

I am so tired, but unable to sleep right now! Over tired? Possibly.

I would like to share with you all what I do to keep myself busy on nights like these. Share all the places I visit, the music I listen to, and the things I sit here and covet (though I know it is a sin and I shouldn't covet... and yet, I can't help it sometimes!)

I am adoring these vintage sites Dear Golden Vintage and Peace Love and Pretty Dresses I have a few vintage things... but most are sort of mod... I'd love to be able to convert my WHOLE wardrobe into glorious vintage style. However, my pockets aren't that deep.

Two blogs that I love reading Rockstar Diaries and All This Happiness

For those of kindred spirit; For those of you who are tea lovers, The Tea Source. They have such wonderful, delightful teas!

As for music, I am favoring Fleet Foxes at the moment. And am also currently listening to them.

One last one! I am a part of this event slash project, called The October Dress Project. It is really neat! Give it a gander:)

The other day as I was driving to drop my little sister off at her horse back riding lessons, a perfectly crisp maple leaf flew onto my window and got caught under my wipers. My little friend stayed with me for quite a while before losing to the wind. I was so happy wit this little friend of mine, I was all smiles. It is fall. I love it!
