No, not that kind of frog. I mean the acronym. It stands for Fully Rely On God.

Definition of rely: Depend on with full trust or confidence.

This is something I need to work on. Yeah, I know God has a plan for me, and that He's always in control, even when it seems like things aren't right. But there's a difference between knowing and trusting. I need to have more faith in God. Believe in Him with all my heart. Hey, you need to fully trust someone before you give them your life! And I have, I've surrendered to God. But I find that I trust through the good times, then when the boat starts to get a little shaky, so does my trust in Him. And I don't want that. I want me and Him to have a strong relationship.

"And I'll trust You God with where I am

And believe that You will have Your way"
~ Britt Nicole lyrics

I want to start trusting, not just knowing. I want to fully rely on God, not just semi rely on Him, that's not good enough. I want to believe and have faith instead of worry and have doubts. Because I know that once I trust in God, once I fully rely on Him, that He will use me in ways I could never imagine.

"Trust the Lord with all your heart,
and don't depend on your own understanding."
~Proverbs 3:5

Falling for Fall

I ♥ Fall. The crunches of dead leaves under my feet.

The temperature is just right, not too hot and not too cold.
The wonderful weather makes for perfect outfits! Jeans, scarves, boots!


Also, the trees carry beautiful leaves of red, yellow and orange!
So many different colours, shapes and sizes!


And it's a great time of year for taking pictures!
I like to think of Fall as nature going out with a big bang before the winter season!


To me, Autumn is a season of change and newness.
It brings a sense of refreshment.


It gives me a cozy feeling, which prepares me for winter,
and yet still holds some excitement from the summer.
Did I mention I ♥ Fall?

Do you prefer to call it Fall, or Autumn?

Answers to Your Questions

Rebekah Brielle
What is your favorite color?
Purple!

What do you want to be when you grow up?
Well, if you're talking about a career, I think I might want to be an environmental engineer.

If you could go anywhere right now, regardless of the cost, where would you go?
Hmm... this is a hard one 'cause there's so many places I want to go. Paris, London, Hawaii, China, Israel and the moon!

If you had all the money in the world, what would you do with it?
First I would spend a portion of it to set up wind turbine farms and better transit systems, and to improve solar panels and electric cars to make them more affordable. Then I would equally distribute the rest to everyone, so there would be no rich people, but no poor people either.


Is there any important person (past or present)that you would want to meet?
I'd like to meet Taylor Swift! She's my fave singer, and to me and probably many other fans very important.

JesusChick

The Ultimate Gift

Would you consider yourself an active person?
Yes, not extremely active, but I do like to go on walks and hikes when the weather is nice.

Favorite color?
Purple!


Animal that you would like to have as a pet?
A panda! That would be so fun!

What are you scared of?
Just to name a few: roller coaster, heights, vaccinations, the unknown, and failure.

Something that always brightens your day?
Compliments, random acts of kindness and friendly smiles.


Mexican or Italian food?
Italian. Pasta rocks!

Something random about you that most people think is strange?
Well ... the only thing I can think of is that people sometimes underestimate my strength because I'm petite.

Type of music you enjoy?
Christian music, some country, pop and hip hop.

How would you describe your fashion style?
It's a whole mix load of different types of clothes and colours. I think the colour I like to wear the most is pink. Even though I have a variety of styles in my closet, mine leans more towards the girly girl type. I like skirts a lot, but I don't wear them as much as I'd like to for some reason.

{mahina} & Sarah (Nikki)
Why are you so awesome?
Aw, thanks! I don't know, just because!

Melissa
Do you have any pets?
Yes I do, I have a dog!

♥ Kimmi's Corner ♥
Whats the farthest you've been away from home?
By myself? Well, I don't really like to go far from home on my own. The only time I can think of is on an end of the year school trip about six hours away. Not that far though.

Is you could die your hair, what color would you die it?
My hair is naturally black. If i could die it I think I'd choose a nice dark brown colour, something that's not too drastically different from my hair colour now.

The Golden Eagle

What time period would you like to live in, and/or in what part of the world? Why?

I don't really have a particular time period I like the most. So my answer is that I'm happy with this time period. And as of what part of the world, I like living in Canada because I think it's a really great country! Eh?! (I don't actually say that on a regular basis)
