He'd insisted on us seeing all the sights before we left, and on us seeing "his" mountain, even though it was getting dark out. <br /> I turned and looked Jake in the eye. "What's wrong with the Jeep?"<br /> "I don't know," he said. "Why don't you and Savannah get out and walk around or something?"<br /> I got out of the Jeep and slammed the door behind me. I turned and looked up at the sky. Savannah, who was also looking at the sky, said, "Isn't it beautiful?"<br /> I didn't answer. We were from the city so we didn't see stars that often, and I had to admit, they were beautiful.<br /> Savannah tapped me on the shoulder. "I bet we could get a better view from on top of the Jeep. I'm sure Jake won't mind."<br /> As we were sitting on top of the Jeep, taking in the beauty of the stars, we didn't even hear Jake yell, "I fixed it!" He laughed and climbed on top of the Jeep next to us. "You girls never seen stars before?"<br /> "We've seen them before, just not... often. It's so beautiful," said Savannah.<br /> "I know," he said. "That's why I call it my mountain."Lottie Lenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-85245547627289904132014-02-27T13:33:17.578-08:002014-02-27T13:33:17.578-08:00My comment is a little late (thanks, troublesome c...My comment is a little late (thanks, troublesome computer), but allow me to introduce my dearlittle sister, CeCe.

We had been on a road trip....I sighed thoughtfully. We had been on a road trip. I had left the hotel room.as soon as everyone was asleep. I was sitting on top of the car looking at the stars. I remembered the drive there so clearly; my older sister Kate was complaining about how we were going to miss our slumber party, my little brother assured her we could just go home tonight and still have it. My mom and dad explained to Owen and my little sister Faith that we were going to our grandparents' and not going home tonight.<br /> <br />"Hi, Ella." Derek jumped up on the car next to me. <br /><br />"Derek," I said, glancing over. "What are you doing here? Have you been following me? Because it seems like wherever we're going, you're going."<br /><br />"No, I'm not following you," he reassured me. "I told you... You're going to your grandparents', and I'm going to someplace near where they live." <br /><br />I sighed and glanced back up at the sky. I think he could tell I was enjoying the peace, so he took out his phone. I heard mine vibrate and knew he was texting me.<br /><br />Annoyed, I took out my phone to look at the text. It said, "Ella- watch your back."<br /><br />I glanced over, but Derek was gone.<br /><br />This is mine based off the picture prompt. I hope everyone likes it!CeCe Chandeliernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-54463798601720548002014-02-27T09:21:08.481-08:002014-02-27T09:21:08.481-08:00That was really good, kind of sad too. :-)That was really good, kind of sad too. :-)Mary Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896530716324795808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-86530744781784035892014-02-27T09:19:05.034-08:002014-02-27T09:19:05.034-08:00Aww the little boy was so cute. :-) Loved it!

But not tonight. Tonight I felt colder than the fifty-degree air called for, and not even the brilliant stars shining above my head could bolster me. Tonight the darkness pressed in on me far more than the tiny pinpricks to Heaven.<br /><br /> I shivered, and felt him wrap his arm more tightly around me. "Cold?"<br /><br /> I shook my head. "No." I knew he'd forgotten to bring any blankets, and right now I would rather freeze to death than have him take me home.<br /><br /> Silence again filled the space between us as we kept our heads tilted toward the sky, searching out our favorite constellations. The stars were breathtaking tonight, more so than I'd ever seen them before. But that wasn't why I couldn't breathe.<br /><br /> He read my thoughts as adeptly as he always did, almost before I'd finished thinking them. We'd always had that connection.<br /><br /> "Hannah, don't look so down." He pushed me back so he could look into my eyes. "You're not losing me. You could never lose me."<br /><br /> I knew it was a lie as soon as he uttered the words. I dropped my gaze as the hollowness in my chest deepened. I'd heard all the empty explanations for weeks now, but nothing could disguise the truth from my eyes; I was about to lose my best friend, my brother, to a girl that had it much more together than me.<br /><br /> "Hannah..."<br /><br /> I leaned my head into his shoulder so he wouldn't see my tears. "Yes, I know." I made my voice light. "I'm not losing you; I'm gaining a sister."<br /><br /> But not even a sky full of stars could thaw the numbness that overcame me at the thought.<br /><br />And Tessa, I don't think you got it last time, but I liked you on Facebook, am now following you on Pinterest (can't tell you who I am though), and I fanned you on Goodreads.<br /><br />Great job everyone who chose to do lighthearted this week!S.

My arms folded, I stared down at my five year old son. I knew he loved playing with my jewelry but why couldn't he give me a straight answer when I asked him where something was? "Toby, the dog did not take my ring." He stared up at me and a thoughtful expression crossed his face before it lit up. Great, I had just given him another story idea. "You're right Mommy. The dog didn't take your ring. It was the pirates!"<br />"The pirates, huh?"<br />"Yeah, they stole it! But don't worry, I got it back for ya."<br />"Where is it now?"<br />"In a safe place." That wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for but at least I knew it was in a safe place. Last time he tried hiding it from the pirates in the dishwasher because it looked like a treasure chest. He took my hand and lead me over to the furnace vent in the floor. "There it is down there." He pointed. Inwardly I groaned. "The pirates will never find it there." He said proudly. I wouldn't find it either for that matter. I patted his head and hugged him. At least our house just gained value.<br /><br />:) Enjoy!<br /><br />HPHis Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475369272547689946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7093187878739089807.post-61262651267759692532014-02-25T16:39:43.119-08:002014-02-25T16:39:43.119-08:00Oh my goodness, your story is wonderful!

Hope you like it.<br /><br />The alarm went off as it always does at six o’clock on the dot. I’d grown to hate that sound so much because it meant another long day at the warehouse. As I reached for the reset button I could feel the knots in my back, my knees aching and my ankles swollen to the size of oranges. I tried to get up but the pain was too much. I just sat there in the darkness, my head hung in defeat. How much longer God, how much longer can I go on? I silently prayed. Slowly but surely I was losing my will to get up in the morning. I was working so hard for so little and my body was growing weaker every day. I’d been applying anywhere I could, but no calls, no interviews. I was starting to lose faith that I’d find another job. <br />“Dear God I’m so tired.” I cried, lifting my eyes toward the ceiling. “I can’t do this anymore God, please help me!” <br />Never before had I experienced such physical pain as well as emotional turmoil. I needed a blessing and I needed it now. I remembered how Joshua had prayed for the sun to stand still and it did, he had such faith in God. I fell to my knees and put my nose to the floor in complete worship. <br />“Heavenly Father I come to you with a heavy heart and a broken body, I need you to give me another opportunity. I believe in you God, I have faith that you will answer my prayer. In Jesus name, Amen.” <br />Instantly my heart felt lighter, I knew God had heard me. I smiled for the first time in months; it was as if a window had opened in my soul spilling light into darkness. As I got up to turn on the light I could hear music in the distance, it was my cell phone ringing. I knew in my heart that was my opportunity calling. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042193918208315626noreply@blogger.com
