The power of words...

I found this on the Klove morning show blog. For the entire post click here.

Worshipping...

At my Church, we are blessed with the privilege of public worship. 

Happily. Openly. Safely.

 Mesmerized by the Word and His presence.

I'm thankful for that blessing. Many others don't get to have it. 

Visit Voice of the Martyrs and lend your voice to their aid. 

Give them the chance to have free worship. 

Can't Get Over You...

Just discovered these guys, and I love their heart behind this song. Watch and be blessed!

The blessed feet of those taking good news with them.

What are you thankful for today?

Last night's post...Day #3

God gave us this yesterday...

...Isn't our God good? Hasn't he made all things beautiful and good in their own season?

I was listening to a song yesterday on the way home from work. It was talking about how God loves us so much that he made us with the capability to have more than all of this (meaning this life here on earth). As I drove I watched the sunset in awe... so distracted by the glory that I finally had to pull over and just stand in awe of my Jesus! He made this... this glorious, beautiful thing and he made us for more than this? Seriously? 

Whoa... 

Heaven, then, is going to be all of this - His pure glory...

...but on an unlimited scale.

And we, the believers, get to see it!

And not just see it, but someday we get to live in it. With it. With God. 

Day #2 - Sisters and Chocolate

Hey girls! Isn't this one of the truest things ever?

Oh yeah! ;)

I absolutely adore my 3 sisters, and when you add chocolate to the mix, it just gets better.

Sisters and chocolate make life...

awesome

enjoyable

delicious

filled with giggles

hyperactive (occasionally)

...sweet

Look at all the fun we have! I LOVE my sisters!

         

Start Afresh...for 100 days.

Isn't that what a new year is for? Starting afresh...
Everything is new again, untouched, it's time to start creating all over again!

I decided to challenge myself for the first 100 days of this year to do 3 personally important things every day to ingrain them into me as a habitual part of my lifestyle. I once read (somewhere, and a long time ago, so if this is wrong tell me!) that it takes about 90 days to make a habit and 30 days to a week to break it. So I'm challenging myself to build some new habits. If you want to challenge yourself with me (since doing something with someone else is much easier than doing it alone) here is a 100 day planner from Ann Voskamp's blog.

SO... here are my three things to do for 100 days. (All rights reserved. You can invent your own ideas.. ;)

1. Spend more time with God each day. This includes praying, reading his word, memorizing scripture, and meditating on him. At least an hour. Every day. This is actually a goal for my whole year, whole life.

2. Take a picture. Just taking a picture of something I'm thankful for every day. Today it was a cowl I made out of this lush, soft, teal yarn named "slubtastic". Can't beat a name like that!

3. Read a little. A chapter or two later and soon I've found that I can finish about 50 books in a year this way. Amazing what a little bit of dedication can do :)


Oh, and I will post on this blog every week the picture that I take. So that actually makes 4 things for a hundred days.

Here's my cowl...

And yes, I did take these using a mirror.
