The cottonwood leaves are already beginning their Autumn descent ... this crunching of leaves underfoot is a sobering reminder of how quickly the seasons change and that 2015 is on it's way to 2016 ...<br />
<br />
Change:<br />
verb. <i>to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of something, different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone.</i><br />
<br />
It is guaranteed. Good changes, not-so-good changes. Happy changes, sad changes.<br />
When I was a little girl, I <i>strongly</i> disliked change. sometimes, I would be so shaken by it {or even the <i>thought</i> of it}, I would just cry. but then, I would end-up being fine with whatever it was that had changed - I guess the tears were my way of processing things. ;P<br />
<br />
In this ever-changing scene of life, I am so comforted by the truth that I am a daughter of The Unchanging God - He is <i>sure, steadfast, </i>and <b style="font-style: italic;">faithful</b>.<br />
<br />
Here are some 2014/2015 changes that I am <i>so grateful </i>for~<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello dear Blogdom...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It has been <i>tragically </i>much, much too long {this, I accept full responsibility for.} It's not at all that I've forgotten about you {t'the contr'y, you've been on my mind almost <b>weekly</b>!} </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm afraid I allow myself to be far too particular. You see, every time I would consider sending a post to you {which was rather a good amount}, I would almost instantly have to dismiss the idea, because of having convinced myself, "I don't have time." Oh <i>you</i> know how it is...there are a 100 and 1 things you hope to accomplish in a day; multiply this by the seven days in your week; <b>x</b> the 52 weeks in your year ... now, correct my math if it's in error, but that's a staggering <b>36,765</b> 'things' that are vying for a vacancy in your brain! {and that's on a day of <i>average thinking</i>...just imagine what the numeral is on the days of <i>brain storms!</i>}</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But this is all in the past. I am not going to take up an entire post, excusing the beastly way I've treated you. I could have <i>at least </i>dropped you a note, once or twice... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sincerely penitent</b> <b>and hopeful for the future,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>~Sophia </i><i></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well folks. there it is. I'm back. :) No longer will the <b>excuse </b>{because that's exactly what it is} of, "I don't have time", be <i>given the</i> <i>time</i> of day in my life ... because, as I've been learning just recently, if something genuinely matters to you, <b>you will make time to do it.</b> And this? this matters to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, it's <b>2015!</b> How about that. man, Time feels as though it's perpetually speeding up. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
*shakes-head-in-wonderment* </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love January - the first month of a freshly begun year! What <i>hopes</i>, <i>anticipations, dreams, and delicious unknowns </i>they hold ... and with our <b>Guide</b> who goes before us, and will hold us by the hand ... there's <i>no need to fear! </i>and every reason to launch out in Faith and <i>wonder at - anticipating with JOY - what He is going to do in our lives! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">Happy New Year, my friends!!</span></i></div>

{Happy 2014! I deeply apologize for the lack of posting. :/ But, even if I had posted, I'm not certain if you would've had the time to read it; because, you were most likely just as busy as me and my family have been over Christmas and New Years! ;) I'm back now ... for a little while. So, this is an interruption from the sibling series, because some huge things are happening and I thought I'd try to be a responsible blogger and let y'all know the scoop. ;)}</div>

Also, I have no idea how many posts this will end up being; however, for the sake of saving your eyesight, I have decided to break it up. :) It'll come in two different series; the first will be about my <b>sisters</b> and the second regarding my <b>brothers</b>. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<b>[</b>Okie-doke, here's some introduction to the introduction. ;) </div>
<div>
For those of you who don't know my family, there are eight of us. My parents met while working for a <a href="http://iblp.org/about" target="_blank">ministry</a> and five years later they were married. Dad continued to work for the ministry, and for the first 11 years of their marriage they lived in a town about five minutes away. For the past 13 1/2 years we've lived on campus as a family and have really <i>loved</i> it! </div>
<div>
I have five siblings; three sisters and two brothers. <a href="http://evangelinerenee.com/" target="_blank">Evangeline</a> (Evy, 23) is the oldest; Olivia (22) is second; Andrew (20) is third; I'm fourth (Sophia, 19); Erik (17) is fifth; and Heidi (13) is our baby. :)</div>
<div>
All of us siblings are <i>very</i> close, and I consider each one of them my best friends. <3<b>]</b></div>
<div>
<br>
Now, on to the <i>main</i> introduction. ;)<br>
So, basically I'm typing this out for those of you who have experienced or who are <i>going </i>to experience the beginning-relationship-phase/engagement-phase/marriage-phase <b>and</b> parenthood-phase of a sibling (be it sister or brother.) Because, while, for the most part, these phases are a large majority of smiles, roses, fun and chocolates (Reese's pieces for those of us who are allergic to chocolate ;), there <b>will</b> come points when toes will get {accidentally} stepped on, feelings will be {unintentionally}ignored and our relationships will have the potential to be <i>strengthened </i>or <i>weakened</i>. God has taught me <b>so</b> much through several of my siblings relationships (refer to previously mentioned phases), and He put it on my heart to share some of those lessons. It's my <i>desire</i> and <i>prayer</i> that you will be <b>blessed</b> and <b>edified<i>!</i></b><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And thus begins the blog series of ...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;">::My Siblings and I::</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am <i>tremendously</i> excited to share with y'all and I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do {also, we can <i>hope</i> that having stated my goal to have this as a series, my blogging frequency will recover ;}!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Cheerio!</div>

P.S. As a note, if there is anything you would like to add or share about the topic of the posts, <i>please</i> feel welcome to share in a comment - I feel like it would be good and beneficial for this to be an interactive discussion, instead of just a monologue from yours truly! ;P I would <b>love</b> to hear thoughts from you and things that God has taught you through your family's and friend's relationships. :]</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh the feeling of <b>excitement</b> and <i>return of memories</i> that came to me as my mouse hovered over the 'new post' button. I have missed this - blogging. And not simply writing on <b>my</b> blog, but visiting y'all on <b>your</b> blogs! *exhale* I'm glad to be back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A very lot has happened this year ... So many changes and learnings that He has been bringing me through. Sometimes I feel like, "Oofda, I don't know how I'm going to live a 'normal' life after this!" but, then, ever so sweetly, He's there. And, really, He hasn't <i>ever</i> left me - I just forget that He's there, so often. Then I hear from Him in His Word {because, <b>that's</b> where I should have gone in the first place, instead of letting panic be in the limelight} ... and He gives me strength to keep going on; breath for <i>one </i>day at a time. And I am reminded that He does, and <i>always will </i>know what is best for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"<i>Unerring wisdom</i> ordained your lot and selected for you the safest and best condition. Remember this: If any other condition had been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there. You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances, and if you could choose your lot, you would soon cry, 'Lord, choose my heritage for me, for by my self-will I am pierced through with many sorrows.' Be content with the things you have, since the Lord has ordered all things for <b>your good</b>. Take up your own daily cross; it is the burden best suited for your shoulder and will prove most effective to make you perfect in every good word and work to the glory of God."</span></div>

Wow.<br />
Time has <b>flown</b>.<br />
Thanks awfully for sharing in these days with me - with your participation in Challenge-17, the smiles have been multiplied. =]<br />
To most of the population, the past 29 Blessings and Adventures will probably seem quite simple and common-place - and I suppose they are - but, to the girl who discovered and received them, they have been <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">unutterably special.</u> <3<br />
<br />
My heart speaks gratefulness to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. These days have certainly been from Him. <3<br />

up and brushed himself. "Thank you, Pooh."
"Going on an Expotition?" said Pooh eagerly. "I don't think I've ever
been on one of those. Where are we going to on this Expotition?"
"Expedition, silly old Bear. It's got an 'x' in it."
"Oh!" said Pooh. "I know." But he didn't really.
"We're going to discover the North Pole."
"Oh!" said Pooh again. "What is the North Pole?" he asked.
"It's just a thing you discover," said Christopher Robin carelessly,
not being quite sure himself.
"Oh! I see," said Pooh. "Are bears any good at discovering it?"
"Of course they are. And Rabbit and Kanga and all of you. It's an
Expedition. That's what an Expedition means. A long line of everybody.
You'd better tell the others to get ready, while I see if my gun's all
right. And we must all bring Provisions."
"Bring what?"
"Things to eat."
"Oh!" said Pooh happily. "I thought you said Provisions. I'll go and
tell them." And he stumped off.</pre>

"I'll give it to him."
"We're all going on an. Expotition with Christopher Robin!"
"What is it when we're on it?"

"Yes. And we're going to discover a Pole or something. Or was it a
Mole? Anyhow we're going to discover it."
"We are, are we?" said Rabbit.
"Yes. And we've got to bring Pro-things to eat with us. In case we want
to eat them. Now I'm going down to Piglet's. Tell Kanga, will you?"

happily at a dandelion, and wondering whether it would be this year, next

and was trying to remember what "it" was, and hoping it wasn't anything
nice, when Pooh came up.
"Oh! Piglet," said Pooh excitedly, we're going on an Expotition, all of
us, with things to eat. To discover something."
"To discover what?" said Piglet anxiously.
"Oh! just something."
"Nothing fierce?"
"Christopher Robin didn't say anything about fierce. He just said it

<pre style="text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">"You remember how he discovered the North Pole; well, he was so proud of
this that he asked Christopher Robin if there were any other Poles such as
a Bear of Little Brain might discover.
"There's a South Pole," said Christopher Robin, "and I expect there's
an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don't like talking about
them." Pooh was very excited when he heard this, and suggested that they
should have an Expotition to discover the East Pole, but Christopher Robin
had thought of something else to do with Kanga; so Pooh went out to
discover the East Pole by himself. Whether he discovered it or not, I
forget; but he was so tired when he got home that, in the very middle of
his supper, after he had been eating for little more than half-an-hour, he
fell fast asleep in his chair, and slept and slept and slept."</pre>
