Unsolved Mysteries

Well as you may know, my cell phone is quite old-fashioned. It can make calls and texts, tell me when to wake up, and take some tiny pictures and (sometimes) send them to Twitter. I also utilize the Notepad feature quite a bit. No fancy shmancy touchscreen or data plan though.

So anyway, I need to make room to make more notes (I guess 30 notes is the limit), and I thought I would  get rid of some here. There are two notes that have Scripture passages that I apparently wanted to remember, but don't necessarily remember why. Hopefully when I look them up there will be a theme or something. Anyway, I'm posting them here, so that I don't have to have them taking up precious note space on my tiny red phone.

But first: 

Does anyone know what kind of tree this is? It is the most beautiful spring tree ever in the world. I get to walk past it every day, and I love my life. It is constantly shedding petals in the most beautiful way. I would like to have a bunch in my yard someday, should I ever grow up and have a yard (and then when my children get married, I will transplant them (the trees, not the kids) to line their outdoor spring wedding. The trees will also serve as a flower girl, if needed). So it is really quite important that you find out what kind of tree this is for me. Ok, thanks.
PS....took this picture with my phone. Make of it what you will.

Expanded for blog:

Genesis 38:17

“I’ll send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah promised.

“But what will you give me to guarantee that you will send the goat?” she asked.

Genesis 43:8

Judah said to his father, “Send the boy with me, and we will be on our way. Otherwise we will all die of starvation—and not only we, but you and our little ones.

Genesis 45:5

But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.

Isaiah 6:8

Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?”

I said, “Here I am. Send me.”

Isaiah 58:9

Then when you call, the Lord will answer.
    ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.

“Remove the heavy yoke of oppression.
    Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!

Numbers 13:2

“Send out men to explore the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the Israelites. Send one leader from each of the twelve ancestral tribes.”

Ok, as it turns out, I have no idea why I was saving these particular verses (send/sent in common?).

Moving on to note 2.

....

Proverbs 16:9

We can make our plans,
    but the Lord determines our steps.

Proverbs 19:2

Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good;
    haste makes mistakes.

Proverbs 25:25

Good news from far away
    is like cold water to the thirsty.

Proverbs 27:2

Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth—
    a stranger, not your own lips.

So there you have it. The ones from Proverbs are ones I think about often, so maybe just wanted the references to be able to remember where to find them? We may never know.

Also, don't forget to tell me what kind of tree that is.
