Blessing 30-How about pizza? Pizza is definitely a blessing. I love it! It is one of my favourite foods (anybody else agreeing with me?!)!!!! :D I especially love meat pizza and Hawaiian pizza. Of course, homemade pizza is pretty great, and that can have any mix of toppings. Just as a note, hamburger and canned corn are really great together on a topping. Thanks to a family friend for that combo!
Blessing 31-You Readers! You are a blessing to me!
Blessing 32-Pellet Fish Food. That is really odd, but it is useful with my fish. Those pellets are cleaner than fish food flakes, so save me time in cleaning water.
Blessing 33-Water. I need the ocean or some body of water nearby. I love water. Mud puddles to waterfalls, I love them all! :D
That's all for this time!!!! Hopefully these posts are loading correctly at their scheduled time. :)
God bless!

All I Ever Want To Be/Lord, Be Glorified (Blessing 29)
I wanted to share this song that I heard the last time I was at camp. I love it, and hope to memorize it to sing at church or some performance sometime. I hope that you enjoy it, and that it inspires you as much as it did me! This song is certainly a blessing!
God bless!

An update
Because of some things going on in my life, I will have a special song each Saturday, but not a whole lot of posts besides those. Sorry, but I'll explain in August (this is just for July, folks!).
God bless!

Blessings 27-28
Blessing 27-Werther's Originals. They are just such great candies! Soft or hard, original or coffee, they are wonderful treats! (I'm mentioning this, because I'm writing with a bag across the room with me).
Blessing 28-Blankets. I love blankets. They are almost a "necessity" for me! They are warm and cuddly, and love to snuggle up all warm and cozy. I love to read or sleep with lots of blankets, or just to keep warm if I don't want to put on a sweater.
Sorry that these posts are short. I need to schedule a lot (and check that the scheduling button is working correctly!).

Blessing 26
Blessing 26-Pretty Dresses! I love pretty dresses, especially those that are swirly! Full skirts are some of my favourites, or ones that can be worn for very fancy occasions. I also love everyday dresses with a pretty pattern. I love dresses!

Blessings 21-25
This will sound odd, but my blessing 21 is next to me-in two parts.
Blessing 21-a doll. Not just a doll, but currently a doll missing her head. But at least, that was on purpose. I really love reborn dolls (research them-some people think that they are creepy, but I think they are beautiful!), and hope to make one from a kit sometime. But I want to experiment with some techniques for reborning on another doll. So this little African American vinyl and/or plastic doll is going to be my "experimental" doll. She is cute! And I'm excited to try some techniques on her!
Blessing 22-my new fish! I just got a beautiful new female betta fish! Her name is Zipporah (to keep with my 'Z' theme!). She is tiny, young, and has a red colouration.
Blessing 23-successful shopping. I really needed some swimwear, tops, and etc., and found the majority of it. I am quite happy with all my shopping! Although, I do like to keep a close watch on my money....
Blessing 24-Gmail. How difficult it would be to keep in touch without e-mails! They are easier than letters (although I love sending and receiving letters as well), and often more convenient than calling on a telephone.
Blessing 25-my bedroom. My bedroom is my resting place and my oasis of everything. Currently, it is very messy, but that is probably because it is my operation central. Books, shells, cds, fish, candy, ribbons, blankets, dolls, backpack, clothes, hats, Rubbermaid containers, pillows, pictures, and laundry baskets-all of these are in my room, cluttering it up a bit! However, it is cheery with a beautiful yellow paint, a colourful bulletin board with photos of friends and family (etc.), and a horse photo. Its a unique room, I must say!
Well, I'll be going for now! God bless!

Count Your Many Blessings
Count your many blessings...are you familiar with that wonderful song? It is a lot of fun to sing, and I love to put a twist on the familiar words (even when I am singing with the congregation at church). I sing my granny's version, despite my siblings whispering "Stop it!" My granny and I just sing it at another level. We just go "count them ton by ton" instead of "one by one". See-there's just so much to be thankful for!
God bless! Keep counting your tons of blessings!
Love,
Indi

Back to my Blessings (Blessings 12-20)
Well, I'm finally here. I wasn't sure if I'd make it today as I am feeling the effects of a cold.
:( Anyway, I'm feeling better after having a bath and eating some supper. :)
So, I have a lot of blessings to name, so here are several that I have thought of.
Blessing #12
Cupcakes. This is random, but I've wanted to put it up for a long time. I love good cupcakes! Especially with lots of yummy frosting. :D
Blessing #13
Notebooks. These are an integral part of my life. I almost always have one nearby. But never mind how many I have-I always like new ones!
Blessing #14
Journals. These are often notebooks, but the notebooks I mentioned above are more like my storage areas for what I often also put on random pieces of paper. Journals have been a part of my life since I learned to write. My first oes had drawings in the top half, writing in the bottom half. Most of them have gone missing (from my earliest years), but I have a fairly steady record since I was thirteen. That was when a family tragedy kind of led me to journaling. I even have a written record of the bedspreads of the room where I stayed the night before an important surgery in my family. Journaling has helped me release stress, sort through my emotional problems, chronicle my favourite moments (and often lists of books and books of the Bible I have read), and to plan and study. Journals are so important to me-if you don't keep one, try it! Write a little bit, no matter how boring or short, for about a month, and then it'll become much easier! I miss some days (like yesterday, when my cold was starting full force, in what I thought was an allergic reaction to a lotion my sibling was wearing-maybe it was partly that on top of my cold), but most of the time I write something.
Blessing #15
Zen. No, not the religion (or division of religion). Zen is my fighting fish. He is a gorgeous, easily-angered male fighting fish. I love to watch him-I'm so glad I got into fighting fish after my pet Guinea pig died. My first fighting fish-a large, grey female named Zipper for patterns on her sides-died earlier this month. :( Anyway, I've decided to try betta (another name for fighting fish) breeding in September or so. I can't wait to give that difficult process a chance!
Blessing #16
Summer. I just love summer. Yesterday, I loved biking and then relaxing in the sun and reading a new book.
Blessing #17
My bike. It actually came for my dad's mom-she used it when he was a kid. Now, that was quite a long time ago! However, despite its habit of rattling and clanking when I go over bumps or into holes, plus some rust on the fenders (is that what actually goes over the wheels? I'm no expert!), I enjoy using it.
Blessing #18
Second-hand clothing stores. That is where I biked yesterday, and found a great costume police hat for one of my siblings, plus a much-needed hot pink blouse to match two skirts I'm taking to camp this summer. I was so happy to get one the right colour and size!
Blessing #19
Second-hand book store. Especially when they carry a large pile of books of Lucy Maud Montgomery books! Plus when those books are $3 each! I got two yesterday and read them in the sun! What fun!
Blessing #20
Smoothies. I love smoothies. I generally have a frozen fruit smoothie with orange juice, milk, and a cube or two of frozen Greek yogurt. I sometimes add cinnamon, nutmeg, and raspberry jam. Delicious and healthy!
Well, I'll leave off for today! I've had a fun time recounting these blessings!
God bless you!

FINISHED!!!!
After a stupidly late night yesterday (or this morning-whatever) taking algebra and biology exams, and waking at 5:30 to start a gruelling study period before taking a dreaded (gulp) Spanish exam and then take a very difficult history exam (hey, I love history, but I can't really remember Bible references or dates unless they are extremely simple or I have studied them to a point that is absurd). Oh, one of the exams was worked on while applying for a police background check (for some volunteer work I plan to do this summer-nothing bad! Trust me-there's nothing to hide!) and having a doctor's appointment about some chapped skin problems. Both went well, and I hope and pray that the exam did as well! I think it was okay. :D
Anyway, I actually had time to WRITE today! And sit and watch some online episodes of a TV program. And just relax. And get outside to ride my bike (and acquire a very painful earache-cold breezes do not mix well with my large ears. No kidding!). And clean my room. And re-type that chapter (this was my writing) of a book I'm working on (the chapter had previously gone missing after my laptop did not save one time!). And I now have time to blog!
Tomorrow I hope to rest and get a schedule planned out for my summer. I have a lot to fit in, so I'll be busy. But I will be back with my blessings, and I hope that you readers will be as well!
So you can guess my blessing of the day...can't you? If not, reread the previous paragraphs!
God bless, folks and friends!
