Nothing is impossible for God.

Right now there is a boy in China that turns 14 in twenty days. He has no family. If he doesn't get a family before he turns 14, he can never, ever be adopted.

Twenty days.

That's all the time he has left for a forever family to find him. 

It's not impossible for God.

Pray with me?

Filmography 2010


I stole this from Kristy's blog Review Rant Rave. It's flipping amazing. This is the kind of thing I want to do. I get shivers watching this.

ahem, not obsessed or anything...

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm struggling not to jump up and down for no reason or hyperventilate or something. I just stumbled across this beauty on the internet. It's one of J.K Rowling's plot spreadsheets for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I got it from here if anyone wants to know.


I'm so excited right now, just looking at the way she planned it all ... I think I need to try planning like this. See, she has columns for all the different subplots so that she can keep track of what happens regarding the particular subplot in each chapter. I also LOVE the little quotes at the top, they're hard to read but while she was planning the spreadsheet she thought of little lines that her characters would say (top left of the page), like "Didn't see that one coming, did she?" and "Then to Azkaban I must go. I trust I'm allowed a toothbrush?" Haha. Loving it. Feeling psyched now about planning my own story. This is just the kind of urge I needed to get planning my own story! Off to write now. Ta ta.

yes, well....

As you can see I'm working on a new background for my blog - only problem is, no matter what I do it doesn't seem to want to fit itself properly to the dimensions on the screen. If you can't see all the characters, you will be able to if you zoom out once or twice ... yeah. Working on getting that fixed. Anyways, the background consists of a few of my favorite characters from tv, film and literature - that is, if you can see them. Hopefully by the end of the day they will be properly visible and I can write a real blog post!

EDIT: Yay, it fits! Hoorah. :)

staring hard at the mess will not make it go away....

First off, a hippity happity birthday to Keira, because I know she'll read this at some point :)

Rah. I have thus far spent the morning cleaning various things and being overwhelmed by other untidy parts of the house, packing my bag for two sleepovers and hopping across the great fluffy carpet in the living room in an attempt to keep the nail polish on my toes unblemished. Also attempted to clean the snake cage but Alastor is (as his namesake) rahter Moody this morning and refuses to let my hand be inside his cage unless he can give it a good nip. Not nice, in my opinion.

I'm so excited for this weekend. Off to Katherine's place to roast s'mores with her and Beth tonight, then heading to Patrick's for his 18th, staying the night there and then coming home after church on Sunday and having two nights in the house with Keira, whilst the family is away camping. Shall be fun.

Hmmm. Felt like blogging but I quite obviously don't have that much interesting to say. Well, in other news I got my hair cut (yes, I did it - the Emma Watson/Mia Wasikowska cut), and I'll put pictures up in my next blog once I have photos.

Tata for now loves.
