Travis Time:)

I know you have all been waiting for the next installment of Silly Pictures of Travis!!!! Now is that time!!! So here is our fearless leader cooking for Beach TNL:)

My Hair, again

Lisa cut my hair again. It's been about a month now but I just kept forgetting to mention it. I LOVE it! It looks so cute! She cut a ton off- but it is still long, I just have some shorter layers. For those of you who were a part of my hair survey forever ago (click on the label and you'll see the rest) this style reminds me more of the Sandra Bullock (in Miss Congeniality) look- which no one really liked at the time of the voting. For some reason the majority went with Paula's hairdo- I just didn't want bangs, so I went with the second highest votes which was Kate Beckinsale's hair (like in Click). So I thought I'd showcase off my new do. I wore a ponytail today but you can get the idea:)

Block this!

Sad time (yet rejoice)

Hi all. My Grandma died last weekend. Tomorrow is her funeral. It has been some sad times. My Grandma had a disease that over the last 6 years deteriorated her brain and made her lose control of her body. This picture is from my 21st birthday party- that was when she found out she had the disease. I like this picture because it reminds me of what she used to look like growing up.

She hasn't been able to communicate well in the last years with the last year being no communication at all. When she could still talk she was told that life must just suck (she couldn't eat, go to the bathroom, or really move at all by herself) and she said she still finds joy in life. It was just an amazing testament to her life. She was a steadfast Christian and she had more inner strength then I ever thought growing up. She was always kinda stuck in a Leave it to Beaver type era, wore butterfly clips in her hair, lots of polyester, and put her makeup on every morning and had her hair set. When her husband, my grandpa, died a little over 10 years ago, I thought she would be completely lost without him. But she was very strong and we saw her even more then before. When she came down with this disease, she accepted it very easily- I'm sure she must of struggled as she began to lose control of her body, but she always trusted God. Her life was a great testimony. I went to church the day after she died and this song really made me think of her and how she lived her life. She used to sing in the choir too and had a beautiful voice. It is sad but also a time to rejoice because I know she is happy and her body is healed and new.

Take My Life

Frances Havergal
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in
ceaseless praise

Take my hands
and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee

Take my voice and let me sing
always only for my King
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from Thee

Take my silver and my gold
not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
every power as You choose

Here am I
all of me
Take my life
it’s all for Thee

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne

Take my love my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever only all for Thee

Here am I
all of me
Take my life
it’s all for Thee

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne

Take my love my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever only all for Thee

Can you think?

Obviously the answer is yes. Maybe the question should be- do you notice the ordinary? You will still have to think about the answers to this test but check it out- you might be suprised. I only got 17 out of 25. How did you do?
