Properly Contrite.

Okay, I promised those posts, and it didn't happen. *so sorry* Go ahead and say it~ "Where have you been?!" And I feel pretty cliche saying this, but it's true~ I've just been busy with other things. I am so honored to know that though I haven't written for quite a long while, I've not lost one follower. Kudos to you! Because seriously, #I'vebeenawayforsolong! Thank you all for your patience. :)

Since I've been away, I have :: worked in the garden :: sewed two period dresses and a period jacket :: done tons of yard work :: played my violin :: made sugar scrubs :: read wonderful books :: researched :: spent two days partially tearing up and refinishing a roof :: made a little money :: took pictures :: laughed and talked :: let out a lot of excitement over the new little one we're expecting into our family yearly next year :: thought long and hard about what I'm going to do when I grow up :: wrote in my journal :: entertained some guests :: and spent many wonderful hours with my sisters. But it feels so good to do some blogging again!!! :)

Y'all, it's so nice to be back!

Hello stranger! Thanks so much for dropping by my blog to see what I’ve been up to! I’m Danielle, but I also go by Dani Marie. My friends tell me I’m always laughing and smiling, and that I love life. Being the eldest of 11 children, we’re always doing something fun, and life never really gets boring. I’m currently helping to teach my young siblings, as we study learn. I’m also improving my skills as a photographer, with goals to start up a small ‘business’ if you like.

Skip on over to ‘About This Girl’~ Stay and read awhile, do!

Isa 61:10-11

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Isaiah 12:1-6

And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted. Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

Proverbs 2:1-9

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Isaiah 61:1-3

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Psalms 20:1-9

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah. Grant thee according to thine own heart, and fulfil all thy counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners: the LORD fulfil all thy petitions. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the king hear us when we call.
