Valentines Day!

I had to write a post today. I just had to. Because today is Valentines Day! The day of love, flowers, chocolates, little stuffed bears, maybe a few engagement rings :) The day when even the coldest and most calculated of hearts spend a little bit of cash to show someone just how much they care. Its special - overcommercialiesd maybe, but special.

Probably because this year I've decide to live valentines day up. I'm not celebrating the day of love for 24 hours - no, I'm going to celebrate it for a whole year.

Really, Valentine's day comes and goes pretty quickly for most people. You buy someone a rose maybe, recieve a corny card, and then wake up to next morning back to the same old ruitine. But what if people spent the whole year showing each other how much they love them? What if they didn't just put effort into one day a year, but every day a year?

So thats my mission this year. To make everyday Valentines day. True, some may be a little dodgy (loving people who just won't co-operate can be hard) but it'll be worth it. Because Valentines day doesn't just make the reciever happy - the giver feels pretty good too.

Finally though, the best part of Valentines day is celebrating love. Rejoycing in love. Being once again reminded how much you are loved. And this year my Valentine loves me more than words can say. He loves me so much that it had to be shown through his actions. There's a sentece from the fathers love letter that I think pretty much somes it up:
"I gave up everything I loved, so that I might gain your love."
He dropped everything, gave up the most important and precious thing he had to show just how much he loved me.
Me.
He wasn't like, "Well, hey, I can kill a couple of million birds with this one stone." He died for me, and if I had been the only human being on the planet, he still would have died for me. Not because I was a sorry excuse for a human and needed fixing, but because he wanted to show me exactly how much he loved me. And that love, a love that doesn't stop at anything, is something that should be celebrated.

Happy Valentine's Day! And know that nobody could ever love you as much as God does.

Love Gracie

Confessions of a teenage.......procrastinator?

I think I'm ready to confess.

My name is Grace Harrison and I am a procrastinator.
Yes, I to struggle with a brain that never wants to do what its supposed to do when its supposed to do it. Sound familiar? Surely I'm not the only one out there :) Sometimes its just hard to focus on things that are "boring" (with a capital B. ie. income tax and algebra) when I just want to be doing something else. So do I get what I have to get done quickly and then move onto something more enjoyable?
Um, no. I procrastinate. I you tube things, and blog things, and basically do anything but add numbers and letters together. (Can I just say, numbers and letters? What were they thinking)

Just so you know, I'm not procrastinating right now. Unless you count holding off sleep procrastination.

But hey, I'm human. And although I could probably save my mum a lot of stress, I do eventually get everything done. Everything works together for the good of those who love him right? :)

So have a wonderful week, and get off my blog because there is probably something you should be doing instead. :) Happy procrastinating!
