Ribbons Tea House and Blessings

I know, I already posted today. It's an abomination to post twice in one day, isn't it? Well, I guess you can just read one today and the other tomorrow and we'll just pretend I didn't commit such an offense. ;)
I woke up today, not only sick to my stomach, but also feeling kind of lonely. Noooo idea why. I have seven people in my family and rarely is it very quiet. I guess I was just stressed out with tests I had to take and things. 
Well, anyway, I was washing dishes when I took a break to text my friend Catie. 
I was telling her about how I was having a really bad day. 
She replied asking if I needed Ice Cream.
And I was like "Lol, yeah."
Two minutes later, she's asking me if her and her mom can pick me up to take me out to get ice cream and tea.
So, I ran it by my parents and replied, "Oh my gosh, yes!!"
So, they came and picked me up and went to the cutest little tea shop, called Ribbons run by someone that goes to my church. It was decorated with paintings from the lady who ran the art show and it was overall a very homey and adorable shop. The funny thing is, I didn't even know it existed until recently!

 There were little tins inside where you could smell each flavor of tea(35 in all), but it took me very little time to decide upon my favorite, iced, vanilla-chai latte.
I also purchased a scoop of chocolate ice cream...but ate it too quickly to take a photo of it. ((Sorry, not sorry.)) Both items together costed under five dollars and were absolutely amazing. 
After buying our items and dancing to the the radio a bit, we went outside to one of the tables in the patio area, and the weather was surprisingly beautiful for that time in the afternoon.
We talked for a good hour, catching up, as we haven't seen each other in almost two weeks (WAYYYY TOO LONG) and she let me take her picture so yey.
Isn't she so cute? :3
Okay, anyway, my goodness, I'm just very, veryyy blessed to have this girl in my life to hug and love and spend time with. She means so much to me and the fact that God put her into my life blows me away. We had a lot of laughs and discussions and it was so casual and fun. ALSO, I took a picture of a preying mantis.  
After I went home, I was totally recharged to work on the many tests I have to take for school. And, I felt so loved. Today was indeed, a good day. 

 God is good
All the time
And all the time
God is good

Art Show

Well, I'm a bit late posting about this art show that took place at my church this past Friday, but I thought it was worth posting about. My younger sister and mom both had submitted pieces into this art show, so my dad dropped them off at the church a few hours later and came home. While he was gone, I took the liberty of making a Facebook live-stream consisting of the typical Kiah- flailing around and calling it dancing. Anyway, after that, we ate dinner and then headed over to the church.  There were a lot of older people at the show and some families.  I ran into an old friend and hung out with her for awhile and a couple other people I'd heard of but never officially met until that day. It was overall a calming experience.  The funny thing is, when I'd first walked in, I looked over and saw tables covered with various desserts and was like, "OH MY GERSHH THERE'S SO MUCH!!!" So, naturally, I ate a lot of dessert, but that's okay. We'll just c...

Grace warriors Retreat 2016

Image
I had the amazing privilege of going on a two day trip up in the mountains with 18 other girls and our amazing leaders.  I could honestly write about this trip for ages, so instead of not sparing a detail, I'm just going to explain what I gathered from it spiritually.  Going on this trip was definitely memorable and full of laughs, just like anything I go to involving other people.  However, even extroverts get overwhelmed sometimes. I couldn't have been happier but, I needed some alone time after we'd gotten to the gorgeous house which was to be ours for the weekend.  My sleep wasn't the most comfortable one. My sinuses weren't the best. So, the next morning, I got to spend some time with my Jesus as the sun was rising.  This was a trip where I was expecting to gather a lot from socializing with others, and though I had some time to get in some great fellowship, the most refreshing part was getting away from it all.  My inner introvert was showi...

Brief update - November

Image
Even right now, as I'm writing this, I'm stressed out. But, since I haven't made a single post this week, I decided you guys deserve a quick update from me. So, let's go into what I've been doing the last week of October and this lovely beginning of November. Of course I've had church every Sunday, Grace Warriors every Sunday Night, youth group every Wednesday night and school and chores in between. In addition, we had a wonderful time at the church fall festival, full of food, fun, face painting, helium (long story) and lots and lots of candy . Here's a picture of all the candy I confiscated. I still have a ton left, even after sharing with friends and eating some myself!!! This doesn't even picture what each of my siblings retrieved XD In addition to this, me and my youth group went on an outreach on Wednesday night, which was more fun than I'd had in a long time, despite my sickness...Which I'm pretty sure was allergies. The sudden drop...
