What if?

What if I sang like Brooklyn Shuck?
What if I'd taken dance in elementary school?

Would my life be different?

What if I'd never stepped into the barn at Windhover?
What if I'd never jumped a horse?
What if Miss Sara wasn't my (amazing) teacher?
What if I were still scared?

What would I look like?

What if I'd never had Ms. Avera in fourth grade?
What if I never wrote a poem?
What if I were still a freshman?

How different would I be?

What if I were never in youth choir?
What if I didn't meet Calla at AWANA?
What if Clara were someone else's sister?

Who would I talk to now?

What if I'd refused to go to that first audition?
What if I never went to that play?
What if I never met Graham Pilotte?

Where would I be?

What if I memorized verses with as much zest as I memorize Shakespeare?
What if I really got up early to read my Bible for more than twenty minutes?
What if I wondered what Jesus would do every second of my life?

Would my life be different?

I can't answer every question, but I know that I am about to find out about those.

Much love,

Heidi

My SUCCESSFUL Garden

Hiya, Folks!

My garden actually grew! I have lettuce that looks delectable, and carrots, which I am afraid to mention I cannot see. I have not pulled them up yet, but I will soon. And you believed brilliant me to be incapable of growing anything. :^) 

Look, I have found some pictures of pure beauty. Here they are.

That is beautiful, you must admit.

These are two different pictures, she was just doing so beautifully that you can hardly tell them apart.

Another beautiful picture. 

My sister has got a dress rehearsal for a ballet recital today.

The below is last year's recital costume, complete with a crown which she isn't wearing in the picture.

Good- bye

-Miss Me Myself.

Clara. This is for you.

This is not really a post...but this picture is so Clara I had to upload it :) Hope you had a great spring break and have a great week!

Ooops...

Whew! It's been a while. Sorry about that! We've been a little snowed under with riding, schoolwork and the Easter Passion play at church the past few weeks...plus I vamoosed to Frankfort for TeenPact most of last week :)

We'll try to do better, I promise!

On a lighter note, my current craze- hair braiding. And my latest: Rapunzel braid from Disney's Tangled (fellow fanatics- remember Kingdom Dance with all the flowers? :).

I couldn't pull off the flowers in March (even though it is spring...grrr) but....I am in love! This is gorgeous!!! Clara's hair really makes it real :)

P.S. I edited it just a little... to put in bokeh:)

I love my sister and her hair!!!

p.s. kenzi...you're next :P

Sisterly Love

Guess what I found on my clothes when I went to pack for BJU this morning? :)

No prizes if you can guess who it's from:) I ♥ You Clara, who always thinks of what everyone else would like, adores any tv with a princess and a battle, and never buys anything for herself.

1 Corinthians 13 
[ The Excellence of Love ] If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing. ...
