This week's prompt was Sunshine.
Unfortunately, I'm not feeling very sunshine-y today...and it's been much cooler here than it's been in a couple of weeks...so I'm pulling out some old photos to show some of my favorite sunshine.
These are from our honeymoon in Hawaii!
We really want to go back someday...and I hope someday we'll be able to!

Oooh, Hawaii honeymoon? Lucky!!!
We want to go back t Hawaii too! It was wonderful. :)
I just read some of your older posts, specifically the one titled: Love.
You talk about how you feel when un-believers make fun of what you believe and you for believing. Well, I have a story for you that I hope can encourage you.
As you know, I accepted Christ later in my life, when I was 15 to be exact. My Junior year (not even a year later) I was in a math class with two girls that I knew from a previous math class. I sat with them and talked with them everyday. And, everyday they would put me down and talk trash to me about my beliefs. They would say things about how I wasn't a good enough Christian to ever date and marry a good Christian man, how they would think of me when they were having a party in hell, how terrible I am for believing in such a terrible God, etc. etc. Some things that crushed me, but I just kept on sharing my faith in my most awesome loving God! The only thing that I felt that came from that experience is that I learned to lean on God and learned to endure through hard times (which is a fantastic thing to learn!) Years later, about 7 years, I found one of those girls on facebook. I simply wrote her a "hey how is life?" comment. The response will stick with me forever. She apologized at how she treated me and for the things that she had said. That she didn't realize then how much more mature I was than her. That I had put my faith in the only One that matters. She went on to tell me about the church she goes to, her family, etc.
I thought I was the only one that got anything out of that experience, but I was successful at planting a seed. It is amazing how and when God works! We may never know how we touch others lives, but we still need to love them and to try to reach their hearts.
I know this is kinda long, but I haven't shared this story with many and felt I needed to now.
I love you sister.
