God uses a goat.

It was a hot afternoon.....

Adon acting like a emo kid..

STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS

I love that Becky can send me pictures of this sweet girl.

weirdo kids...

cuddles with mommy.

SERIOUSLY?!?!!

  That last picture is what sparked this post. Most of the time, when a goat gets it's head stuck in a fence, it's in a place where they can get to grass. You know, the whole "the grass is always greener on the other side". But in this situation, there was no grass. There weren't even other goats for her to get to. So as I worked through the frustration of this, something hit me: this must be how God feels. We stick our heads through the fence to get the "greener grass" only to find-out there isn't any, but of-course then we're stuck. Lucky for us, God knows how to get us out of the mess (though not without struggle and pain). Unlucky for this goat, I couldn't get her head out (I'm not God) so I have to wait till someone comes home and can help me.

  I find it amusing how God uses day to day happenings to help us understand.

Today my mom left for Cali to see Becky, Kezley, and Daniel, and to meet my dad there so they can drive the Mini Cooper Clubmen they bought from Becky and Daniel. It's a nice little, much needed, vacation for Mom, and quite the opposite for me ;). Thankfully a dear friend is spending the time with me, so I'll have company and help. Prayers for all of us would be much appreciated.

Shalom, 

P.S. A few weeks ago, I did some modeling for a photographer friend who was doing a workshop, checkout the pictures here. I'd love to hear what you think :).

Day 1

This month I'm doing a challenge issued by Story of My Life to blog every day is May, with a specific topic. Today's topic was "myself in 250 words or less".

The names Alana (Uh-lawn-uh) Donae (Dawn-a{long a}) Leggett (Leg-get).I was born to Bob and Suzan Leggett on October 17, 1995, in Austin, Texas. At 17 years of age, a junior in high school, singer, daughter of the most high, and the youngest of five, I would say that I’m happy. Being homeschooled is simply the best, and yes I DO have friends. I have the advantage of not caring how old someone is. If I like them, then they’re going to be my friend.

I suppose I can’t mention myself without talking about this beautiful Red Mountain Ranch I call home. The work sucks, but the land is more than worth it.

I've grown up in the church, but it’s really only been the last few years that I've found my love for Jesus. I've been singing on the worship team at my church since I was 12 years old, and well if you ask my mom… I've always been passionate about singing. Apparently I would hum while I nursed as a baby.

I’m a scifi geek, and a lover of the hand-written word. I’m no photographer, but pictures are very important to me. What better way to tell a story than through pictures? I’m about as loyal as they come, and I love people fiercely. I never hate anyone. There are a few people whom I strongly dislike, but they earned their place fairly.

Family (those I love) mean more to me than anything. Family really is the best. So anyways, this is me… in a nutshell. 

Shalom,
