The Burglar, part 4

That night I got in the car with my roommate.

"Where are we going?" I asked curiously.

She smiled blankly. "We're going to the mall."

I frowned. That didn't seem to add up with what she had been saying about "having some fun." Well, I would see what was up.

We went into the mall and looked around. My roommate seemed especially interested in a few pieces of jewelery that were in a small package. After picking it up off of its hook, she sighed at the price and put it back.

We didn't buy anything. Driving back to the dorm, I wondered what that had all been about.

The next day I saw my friend wearing that same piece of jewelery that she had admired so.

I went up to her. "How did you get that?" I asked indignantly.

She smiled slyly.

I got an award!

I got the Charming award from Storyteller! So on to the Rules!

 

The Charming person is a person whose charm is evident in everywhere they go—in their blog posts, their replies, and their comments. They are always gracious and thinking of others.

Charming person rules:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award and leave a link to all of their blogs.

Thank you, Storyteller! (Rubberboot Girl, Dragonmaster)

2. What about yourself do you think is charming?

Well, I don't really know. That is a hard question! Maybe I try to be kind, but sometimes that's hard. (Especially around some of my siblings!)

 

3. What is your favorite thing about the person who gave you the award?

 

Storyteller is so awesome! The stories on the blogs are amazing, and Storyteller is so nice!

4. Nominate 1 person for this award. No tag backs. I.E=one person gives this to, say, somebody named Sally. Sally cannot retag the person, but the person who Sally gives the award to can reaward the person who gave it to Sally.

 

I say.... Jess!

 5. Answer the questions you were asked, then make up five more for the person you awarded.

These are the questions I was asked:

1) What is your favorite activity?

Reading, definitely.

2) What do you think of when you think of yourself?

I think of a shy girl who likes to read.

3) What is your favorite season?

I would say probably spring.

4) How old do you think I am?

I think you are 13.

5) In what kind of a house do you think I live?

I think you live in a fairly large house, a few miles out of a town. It is painted an unusual color.

 

Now, here's my questions.

 

1) Do you have any hobbies?

 

2) How old do you think I am?

 

3) What is your favorite type of weather?

 

4) Do you like to blog?

 

5) Do you have siblings?

 

(you do not have to answer these if you feel they intrude on your privacy)

And that's all!

A Flag to Follow

This is a hymn I really like the words to. They sound so adventurous!

I sought a flag to follow
A cause for which to stand,
I sought a valiant leader,
Who could my love command;
I sought a stirring challenge,
Some noble work to try,
To give my life fulfillment,
My dreams to satisfy.

I sought a ringing answer
For all my doubts inside
A torch of truth uplifted,
My searching steps to guide;
I sought a word of wisdom,
A true authority,
I sought to know life's purpose,
To solve its mystery.

I sought for satisfaction,
For yearnings deep withiin,
I sought for full deliverance
From chains of guilt and sin;
I sought for peace and pardon,
For freedom from my fears,
I sought a hope to cling to
Beyond these passing years.

I found them all in Jesus,
The Life, the Truth, the Way;
Beneath His flag I'll take my stand
And follow Him today.
