Beauty from Ashes

". . . to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." Isaiah 61

The Race is On

Mum and Dad stopped by my room this morning. Dad took one look, and had two comments (with two eyes, and one mouth, that's rather disproportionate, but oh well):

"Wow, if my room looked like that, I think I'd lock my door."
and
"There is no way you're going to get everything packed and your room cleaned up by Saturday."

Sounds like a challenge to me! I went shopping this morning and got even more stuff that I need to pack, so we shall see. Here's a picture from a few days ago - it is nothing near as orderly as this anymore. ;)
