Balloons are for everyone.

If you don't like balloons, you're evil.
And I stand firm in my shotty reasoning.
Seriously, every time I see a balloon, I can't help but get glimmer-eyed and smile.
There is something so whimsically fantastical about balloons.
Not to mention, they encompass everything I adore: chubby, round, soft, & colorful.



[Jonas Wagell] How awesome is this? Please, tell me what I need to do to do put together things like this the rest of my life!



[Max Wagner] Seriously, you canNOT deny the adorable awesomeness of that perfectly air-filled rubber sphere of joy!



[Trafalgarssquare] I just squealed.



[Fay Hwang, My mommy <3]
This was a "guardian angel" that my mommy made for me my sophomore year at school. I had a really horrible time adjusting to everything, was waking up to nightmares, and felt anxious all the time. Yeah, I got problems, whatever. God really used my mom's gifts and talents to remind me that He was protecting me. Haha, it really reminds me of my mommy too. She looks like that, all small and smiley =)




[Me] I dream to have a picnic with my husband (whoever he will be) in a hot air balloon someday. So, husband-whoever-you-will-be, please take a special note of this. HAHA =)


Today, I'm going to help two of my little sisters from church with hair and make-up for their jr/sr prom!!! I think I'm more excited than they are...

Toodles, noodles, and smiles,
E.H.

Accidents

I took this picture by accident on my way from Wellesley to Boston because I'm a tech newb and didn't know how to use settings properly. The bus also shook violently at this moment and I accidentally took the picture. I look at it, and it may not seem like much of photo to most, but for some reason, I LOVE it. =)

Sometimes, it's the accidents, the unexpected, the unforeseen, unplanned THINGS that captivate your every being. At that moment, this is what I saw and exactly how I wanted to see where I was going...and the only reason why I can remember it is because I accidentally took a picture of it.

Smile for the camera,
E.H.

Break

It's the second week of break since school ended and is it horrible that I'm absolutely loving it?
"It" referring to the endless eating, playing with my family and friends, bumming and lounging, reading books that I actually want to read, and SLEEPING.
I haven't been able to sit down and soak up the sun in such a long time, it seems, and I've finally been able to make time to catch a faint tan. It's nice... =)
For the first time in the past four years, my busybody-gotta-get-going-gotta-make-something-of-myself mentality has exited the building...and I'm learning to wait patiently, quietly, and faithfully for God to show me the next step.

I know, without a doubt, that soon I'm going to be itching to be a busybody again, just because that's how I am...but...for now, it's really nice.

Thanks so much, God <3
Please help me to continue to wait patiently, quietly, and faithfully for what You want me to do.
And please help me find a job some time in the near future...because I still want to do that too! =)

Smiling BIG for my Heavenly Papa,
E.H.

We lift up our eyes to the Giver of Life

An unni who leads worship with me at church introduced this song to the praise band last weekend. It's been wigglin' in my little noodle all week. Hope it blesses you guys =)




Smile Big for the Giver of Life,

"Hello" and Forever

When you simply say "hello" and I feel like I've known you since forever...


A 2-second hand shake and we cut the small talk.

God made even the weeds beautiful...

[Dandelions in my backyard]

Matthew 6:28-34...An obvious candidate for such a post =)

Praise God for not only does he create beauty even in the poorest and most wretched, but he tends and restores them.
