Psalm 139:14
Let's talk about books...
Yes, books.
At the moment, I'm reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. ^^ The third book hasn't been published yet, but I (obviously) already pre-ordered it for my Kindle. Heh heh. Something to look forward to in October!
The next book on my mind is "The Spectacular Now" by Tim Tharp. Do I want to see the movie? Absolutely. Will I see it before I read the book? Probably. But, only because I won't be done reading the Divergent series until maybe next month and I want to see the movie right now. Haha. But...maybe I'll wait to read the book first. We'll see. ^^
I am currently listening to "Gone, Gone, Gone" by Phillip Phillips. Love it.
Coconut Oil Treats
Made these today. They're really good and semi-healthy. ^^
If you want to try making these too, you can find the recipe here.
Diamonds, pearls and gold.
The following incident took place when Muhammad Ali's daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were not modest. Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:
When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father's suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them."
He looked at me with serious eyes. "Your body is sacred. You're far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too."
