The Blessing of Things Remembered: July 2008

I never really had a favorite flower until I saw this one. Mom and I were walking along the side of the road when it caught my eye. It took a little research but I finely discovered that its' name is Venice Mallow.

My name is Kylie. I am 17 years old and was home schooled for 12+ years along with my older brother, Jacob. I am now attending Lancaster Bible College where I am pursuing a degree in children and family ministries. My favorite animal from God's imagination is the horse (think about it for a second; who would have thought of such thing?). My choice mode of relaxation is playing the piano and (if I'm feeling ambitious) the violin.

This past year the Lord has been drawing me closer to Himself. And, by His grace, has been slowly softening my heart to be a young woman whose desire is for Him alone.

Job 39:19-25

¹⁹“Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with thunder?^[b]
²⁰Can you frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
²¹He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
He gallops into the clash of arms.
²²He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
²³The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
²⁴He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
²⁵At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
