Facing The Giants Sermon at church.

2011-11-04T18:27:00.002-04:00

This past Sunday the pastor at my church preached on David and Goliath. He explained how David defeated the Giant with only one stone because he had God in his life. That morning I was debating on whether to go to church or not, but something inside me told me to go and I'm glad I did. I have been having a lot of struggles lately, and lots of Giants. This sermon helped me because now I realize all the Giants I have can be defeated because Ive got God on my side, and as long as I trust in God and pray those giants will be defeated.

Since then I have been less depressed, and a lot happier.One of the Giants got one of my good friends really mad at me. He had given me a REALLY good talk and I listened and absorbed it all, but I kept getting more depressed and more depressed. He hasn't talked to me in a few weeks, and probably wont for a long time. He has changed me so much into my old self. He don't realize how much he helped me, and he's a GREAT Friend to talk too because he listens so good and he tells me the truth. I don't think he's actually my friend anymore, but I pray every night that he will forgive me completely. I know it will take time and space for us to be friends again. I regret what I did and he may never talk to me again. I hope he will because Ive got so much exciting news to share with him. I've got a lot of good things going right and I feel so lucky to have such GREAT Family and friends. Some days are tougher than others especially with not being able to talk to him. I know God has his plans and everything will workout just how its suppose to.

A movie that is very inspirational and deals with this post is Facing The Giants.
In it, it is always saying what is impossible with God and they always say nothing is impossible with God. With God all things are possible is my favorite verse.

There is a song Id like to share too. It is one of my favorites.

Update!

2011-09-17T17:39:00.002-04:00

Friday I had my Gallbladder taken out, and everything went well. They did keep me for a night, I was in a lot of pain and was able to come home today. I'm still pretty sore, but not as bad as the first night. I'm blessed with the best family and friends ever. Prayers really do help, and I had several people praying for me. I'll be stuck at the house for a week now, but hopefully the week will go fast.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has prayed for me, and has been there for me through my surgery, and after my surgery. I'll be getting caught up with my blog posts, so come back often for new reviews and giveaways!

Prayers needed!!

2011-09-15T10:45:00.003-04:00

I have been going to a Christian Counselor who has helped me a lot with all of the struggles I have been helping. One of the verses he has told me is Roman 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." He brought this verse up because I had something happen in my life that I blame it on my fault. God knows it wasn't my fault, and it has helped me so much. I'm still a long way from recovering completely, but I know God is here with me through these trials.

I am also participating in a Beth Moore bible study along with Laura from sweetlifewithboys.

Tomorrow I will be having my Gallbladder taken out. Please say a prayer for me that this will make me feel better.

A song I would like to share with you all today is: Laura Story Blessings!

Best Friends!

2011-09-02T11:03:00.003-04:00

I think I've lost my best friend because of stuff I said to her. I really didn't mean to say all the stuff I did to her. She's the best friend Ive ever had, but she wont talk to me now. She was there for me when I was in hospital a few weeks ago, and Shes always there for me when nobody else is. We've had our bad times like all friends, but this is the worst we've ever fought. We've had our good times too. All the times we've went to Target and Walmart and just walked around the store for hours talking. I tell her everything and she tells me everything.

We have been friends for a long time, and it hurts me I hurt her like I did. I really didn't mean it. I just want her to forgive me for all the things I said to her that hurt her. I havent been the Christian I should lately. I've really started being a lousy person. I realize "With God all things are Possible." Even if there's a hard time God is always there for us. Crystal I really am sorry if you read this. I'm sure we will have worse fights than this, but this one has really hurt me, and I know its hurt you.

Gourmet Giftbasket review/giveaway!!

2011-08-21T19:59:00.005-04:00

I have done several reviews/giveaway for Gourmet Giftbaskets. I love doing reviews/giveaways for them. I love their products. This time I was able to review The Midnight Snack Care Package for Gourmet Gift Basket.
When I received mine I was so excited. It has lots of goodies in it, and would be perfect to send your college Student this fall when they go away for college.

The Midnight Snack Care Package includes:Ingredients:
· Chef Boyardee Microwavable Bowls by Con Agra Foods - 7.5 oz. - Perfect for that late night meal, these microwavable bowls are ready in seconds.
· Easy Mac Microwavable Macaroni and Cheese Dinner by Kraft - 2.05 oz. - Is there anything better than a warm bowl of Mac N' Cheese....at Midnight? We didn't think so!
· Orville Redenbacher Smart Pop by Con Agra Foods - 2.9 oz. - Your always just a few pops away from a great snack, and no one does it better than Orville Redenbacher.
· Rice Krispies Treats by Kellogg's - 1.3 oz. - A classic treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner...And those Midnight snacks!
· Oreo's by Nabisco - 2 oz. - Add a glass of milk to this classic sandwich cookie and the fireworks instantly go off in your head!
· Dorito's Nacho Cheese Flavor by Frito Lay - 1 oz. - Cheesy, crunchy and great for that late night snack.
· Cheddar and Bacon Potato Skins by T.G.I.Friday's - 1 oz. - It's hard to provide fresh baked potatoes, cheese and bacon but T.G.I. Friday's has certainly done a amazing job of capturing the flavor with these snacks.
· Cheese Crackers with Peanut Butter filling by Austin - 1.38 oz. - Is there a better fit for our Midnight Snack care package? Peanut butter crackers are always yummy.
· Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Combos by Mars - 1.8 oz. - Crunchy oven baked pretzels with a creamy cheddar cheese flavored filling!
· Cheez-Its by Sunshine - 1.5 oz. - Grabbing a handful at a time at midnight is somewhat the norm...so we just had to make it a part of our Midnight Snack care package!
· Traditional Chex Mix by General Mills - 1.75 oz. - An unbeatable snack combination that has been around for years. Everyone has their own recipe but this is what started it all!
· Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Drink by Yoo-Hoo - 6.5 oz. - You definitely need a drink option with all these great snacks, and a chocolate drink with this type of flavor was the best fit.
· Pringles Snack Stacks by Procter & Gamble - .74 oz. - Pringles have long been the snack that you just can't stop eating, so we thought it was a great addition to this and other college care packages in our collection.
· Snyder's Pretzels by Snyder's of Hanover - 1.5 oz. - When you send a care package it's important to include pretzels and Snyder's pretzels are known for their superior taste and crunch.

· Planters Nuts on the Go by Kraft - 1 oz. - The peanuts are just as famous as the little peanut mascot!
· Cereal Box Individual Size by Kellogg - 1.09 oz. - A bowl of cereal always cures that hunger, and a midnight is technically the morning hours so breakfast is very appropriate!

Graduation!!

2011-06-05T17:31:00.002-04:00

One of my younger brothers graduate this Friday night. It's hard to believe he is old enough to graduate.
It's really hard to believe that it's been two years since I graduated. It really doesnt seem like it's been that long.
Sometimes I wish I could go back a few years and make wiser decisions. There are days I think it could've turned out a lot worse.
I am so lucky to have the friends and family I do.
Recently I have meet an amazing guy who is just my friend and is there for me through everything. I hope one day we might be more than friends.

Busy

2011-05-20T22:22:00.003-04:00

I'm finally done with spring semester, so I'm hoping to be able
To finally get some reviews and giveaways up before Summer.
I have been really busy lately with work and everything That I'm
Hardly even home much anymore. I got an iPhone and I am able
To do posts with it, so it will be a lot easier for me to get my posts
Up. I cannot believe I haven't wrote anything on my blog since Easter.
A lot has went on since Easter.
I decided back in April to start smoking . I smoked for 2 weeks and then
Ended up having to be taking to the emergency room because I felt like
I couldn't breath. To find out I had bronchitis. Needless to say I will
Never smoke again. It's the worst habit ever and even though it does lower
Stress for a little while, its not worth it. There are lots of other activities that can also
Help lower stress. I love to get in the hot tub at work right after I get off work, it's so
Relaxing.

My God is Mighty to Save!

2011-03-24T09:05:00.003-04:00

Last night my 16 year old cousin Corey got saved. I have been praying about this for a long time. I love my family, and when I heard about this I had tears in my eyes(Happy tears of course). My God is Mighty to Save. God can get us through some of the toughest times, and he is always there for us. If we just put our lives in the hands of the Lord he will get us where we need to be. I didn't realize that I haven't been doing that. I have been prayer for what I want not for what God wants for me.

Here is the youtube video for "Mighty to Save" singing is Newsboys.

Spring Break!

2011-03-21T19:09:00.002-04:00

I had a VERY Busy Spring Break, and didn't get the reviews up that I needed to. Hopefully they will be up by The weekend. On Friday I went to Winter Jam with the Youth Group at the church I work at. It was as Great end to the week. Some of the artists there were Chris August, News Boys, New song, Red, Kutless, David Crowder band, Francesca Battistelli, and David Crowder Band. The speaker Tony Nolan was really great too.

Here are some pictures from the event:

Newsboys!

Here is a song from Francesca Battistelli called: This Is The Stuff

I am Strong!

2011-03-16T20:45:00.002-04:00

I have been really busy lately. This week is Spring Break and have been busier than I wanted to be. I have several great Reviews and giveaways to put up shortly.
My job and Anatomy class has kept me majorly busy.

I saw a youtube video on a Teachers Facebook that teaches at our local Elementary school. The Song is called "I am Strong." This song brought tears to my eyes. Once you listen to it you will realize that nobody how many struggles and trials you have, cancer kids have even more struggles and trials. When I listened to this song for the first time today.I thought here lately I have been complaining and thinking what if. Once I heard this song I thought I may have struggles and trials, but there are kids out there hurting and they don't deserve that.

My all time dream is to become a Pediatric Oncologist. I'm just not sure if I am Strong enough to see children go through a struggle that big.

Here is the YouTube Video called "I am Strong." by
The Grascals with Dolly Parton.

Review of The American Patriot's Almanac!

2011-02-25T16:48:00.003-05:00

I recieved a copy of The American Patriot's Almanac by William J Bennett and John T.E. Cribb from Book Sneeze. My eighteen year old brother is really in to history and things that deal with history, so I gave this book to him after I read it.

The American Patriot's Almanac has 365 entries. YOu can read one a day or several a day. I read several a day, and this is a very good book especially for people who like History books.

I give this book FIVE Stars! There are lots of information in this book and I highly recomend it. I love where they include a "This Day in History" for each day!

You can buy this book at Amazon.com or other bookstores.

I won't let go!

2011-02-19T20:31:00.002-05:00

I finally got a new laptop and will try to blog more. I am taking an anatomy class that is taking all of my time. I have had to work a lot more lately also.

Lately it has been a sad time in our community. One of my friends Grandfather passed away on Friday! He was very close to him. Please pray for the family. The Last few weeks I have gotten close to some of his family, and I hate to see them hurt like they are right now.

Rascal Flatts came out with a new song! I Won't let you go.
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

I just want him to know that I will Stand by him through all of this. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this song, because I think of him and his family.

Here is the video for "I Won't Let you Go"

Prayer!

2011-01-31T11:26:00.003-05:00

I was invited to class at the Church I work at for us young Adults. There are three of us in it and we range from 17-21. This other girl and I have never taken a Confirmation Class. Usually those classes are taken when your in 5th or 6th grade. Well me and the other girl didn't ever have the chance to take it. I have always went to a baptist church and we never did it there, and my home church is still a Baptist Church.

The other girl took the class when she was younger, but is taking it with us again. I thought I would give the class a Try!
Last night we talked about Prayer and about meaningless prayer. It was very inspirational to me.

The thing that caught my attention the most is when he said don't tell go God what you want, ask God to give you what he wants you to have.
This relates to me in so many ways, but there is one particular way it relates to me. Now I know to tell God that there is this person I want in my life, but only if you want to put the person in my life. God knows whats best for me, so I just be patient and let God lead and Guide me where I need to go!

Next week we will talk about something different. I am glad I took the class. It was very inspirational, and I actually learned from it.

Busy!

2011-01-27T21:20:00.002-05:00

I'm back I have been so busy lately. I have started my Spring Semester, and I have several classes, including Anatomy and Physiology. I haven't been posting as much as I have wanted to with trying to keep up with homework and working. Lately we have been getting SO much snow and the kids have been out A lot, and I work when they aren't in school.

Coming up I am going to have A 21st Birthday BASH! I am going to have several reviews and giveaways, so come back to check for new reviews and giveaways.

I always like to post a YouTube video that shows my mood for the day or week.
The video I choose today is Are you gonna Kiss me or not? By Thompson Square.

Green Smart Review/Giveaway!

2011-01-16T21:37:00.006-05:00

I had the opportunity to review a backpack from Green Smart. I reviewed the Mandrill in Ocean blue!

I Love the Backpack! It has been great for school, and has PLENTY of room.
Features:
- Separate access laptop garage fits up to 15.6"
- Airmesh padded back and shoulder straps
- Generous interior compartment
- Exterior cording for sweatshirts or shoes

About Green Smart:
"After making bags since 1995 in the same manner as every other supplier in the world under the brand name Shoreline, with the same basic materials available at that at time, we decided to take a fresh look at aligning the ethical social practices of our Company with ethical product materials and manufacturing practices. As the specifiers of everything that goes into every product we made, we chose to hold ourselves accountable for the actions of our suppliers working on our behalf and for the consumers who did not know any better when they purchased our products. That was 2006."

"From that period forward we began the transformational process of replacing product materials with eco-conscious materials, teaching our retail customers about the materials, phasing out existing products and materials. What we did was nothing short of a do-over. Within 30 months, we had converted our supply chain to greener processes, greener materials and greener thinking."

"We are just beginning. Our primary objective with every product and material we make or use is eco-progress. There is no eco-perfect and we are not perfect either. We plan to continue to improve. We started with our practical usage of rPET polyester derived from the recycling of PET water and soda bottles, and in 2009 our introduction of neogreene, neoprene reinvented. We think there is no limit as to the ways GreenSmart may be able to bring greener choices to you. We can barely wait to see what is next."

Green Smart has everything from Laptop Sleeves, MacBook Sleeves,Back Packs, Messenger bags, Lunch, Bottle Koozies, and Wine Totes.

90th Birthday!

2011-01-07T22:06:00.004-05:00

My great Grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday on January 1st. We had a party/dinner for her. I am blessed to have such good family.

Here is a picture of my great grandmother with a few of the great grandchildren and two of the great-great grand children.
I am the one with the two kids on my lap.

Always!

2011-01-06T21:35:00.002-05:00

I haven't been on since Christmas. Overall I had a Pretty Great Christmas. I am so behind with blogging. I have a lot of GOOD reviews and Giveaways to post. My laptop crashed, and all my information and things I needed was on there! Also, I had a scare the other night and thought it was with my appendix, but to find out it was only a UTI and virus.

I thought of this song today called "Always" by Building 429. God is with us ALWAYS. Even when we may have problems. This is a very INSPIRATIONAL Song.

The Story Of Christmas!

2010-12-24T19:00:00.002-05:00

Here Is the Story Of Christmas!

It comes from Luke 2:7-16
7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

8And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

The song for Today is Away in a Manager!

Helping Others!

2010-12-20T09:35:00.002-05:00

Yesterday I went to the service at the Church I work at! I have never got to set through the whole service. My home church is a Baptist Church, and the Church I work at is a Methodist church! Yesterday was the Fourth Sunday in Advent, and I thought it was really neat that they lit a candle and said different Stuff about Christmas. The four Candles stayed lit all through the Service.

Yesterday Afternoon The youth Group from Mountain View United Methodist Church took Presents to a local psychiatric Hospital, and sang carols. Then the youth went and bought presents for our Santa Elf families.

Santa Elves is one of my favorite organization in the county! I love helping out each year!

This is the Second year I have helped the Youth group, and every year I feel so lucky that I have what I have. I may not be rich, but the families we sponsor may have little or no money at all coming in!

The real meaning of Christmas isn't presents, its the birth of Jesus!

The song I have picked today is Bring Him home Santa! I heard this song the
first time the other day, and almost cried! It's about a little girl who wants her
daddy home for Christmas, and he is a solider who is in Iraq!

Back Then!

2010-12-17T19:25:00.003-05:00

Last night I was looking through old Journals I have written in! I found my 2004 through 2007 journals. In 2004 I was in the 8th grade.

As I read through the journal of my 8th grade year, I thought wow! All the things that went on back then.lol I found where I was madly in love with this guy who I ended up dating for month my 9th grade year.lol I found all these guys names that I liked back then, and thought Wow how could I have liked those guys.

Now that I have graduated and I look back I think I wish I could have a redo of High School! In Middle School and High School all I had to worry about is who was my friends, how popular, did I have a Boyfriend.

Now I think Why couldn't I have concentrated on my grades, and not all the drama happening. I think bad why couldn't I have been nicer to the kids who were not as popular or who didn't go to church!

I have ha several friends who started bad things and then I just found new friends, but knowing what I know now I should have been a good Christian and talked to them bout Jesus.

God has led me through every step of the way! I have made mistakes and I realize everybody makes mistakes. God has led me to find my old journals, and to write this. I'm realizing just because a guy may say he is a Good Christian or goes to church that, that may not be true. He may be just telling you that so you will go out with him.

God is my leader. Like the Verse the Lord is my Sheppard!

We should help others and invite more people to church!

Today I would like to share a song from Casting Crown!
It is called If we are the body!

Veggie Tales: St. Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving

2010-12-16T12:56:00.002-05:00

We just got a subscription to Netflix, and I love Veggie Tale Movies.
I found Veggie Tales St. Nicholas: A Story of Joyful Giving.

This is a great movie to teach your children about the true meaning of Christmas!
I love this movie!

Contemporary Christian singers. They support one of my favorite
Organizations Operation Christmas Child!

To buy The movie Veggie Tales: St. Nicholas: A Story of Joyful giving you can go to
Big Idea.com. Here is the Song Giving Christmas Away:

The Song I would like to share today is called Always by Building 429!
This song is very inspirational.
God is here for us anytime we need him! He is only a Prayer away!

Hanukkah!

2010-12-08T19:33:00.002-05:00

Today was Snow Day number three in our county! I worked in the school age program at work today! I found out today that I know somebody who celebrates Hanukkah! I really don't know a whole lot about Hanukkah!

Here are some facts about Hanukkah:
Hanukkah is an eight day celebration.
Hanukkah usually falls in November or December, and is known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is celebrated with the lighting of the menorah, traditional foods, games and gifts.

The Hanukkah celebration revolves around the kindling of a nine-branched menorah.
On each of Hanukkah's eight nights, another candle is added to the menorah after sundown. The ninth candle is called the sham ash, and is used to light the others. They typically recite blessings during this ritual and display the menorah prominently in a window as a reminder to others of the miracle that inspired the holiday.

Tonight is the eighth night of Hanukkah! Happy Hanukkah to everyone who celebrates it!
I thought I would share this with you!

Blessings!

2010-12-07T20:53:00.002-05:00

Some days I don't realize how many blessings I really have. I am Blessed to have such a Great GOD, Great Family, Great Friends, Great people in my life, and Great jobs.

Sometimes I don't think about events in my Life as Blessings, but lately I have been taking the time to think about the Blessings God has given me.

One Blessing God Gave me is:
I was able to volunteer on Thanksgiving at a Local Restaurant. That night as I was leaving, the owner and I were talking. I just so happened mentioned that if she needed anybody during the day to work that I am available during the day! Just so happens she was, and asked me to start training. I started training the day after Thanksgiving. Today was my 4th day there, and I love it. Waitressing is something different for me. I see this as a Gift from God!

Another Blessing God has given me is:
Working with the School aged kids at the gym I work at! There is something different going on with them every day! Most of the 10 and 11 year olds are as tall as I am or taller. They are always telling me how short I am. Lately they have been telling me that I am old.lol Then today they said I was just a kid.lol They can be so funny! I see this is a Gift from God! If I am only an Inspiration for one of those kids, that makes me Happy. I would like to be an Inspiration to all of them.

God has helped me through some of the hardest times, and now I realize that I don't need a boyfriend to be happy! I Have my God, my family, and my friends. One day God will send the right guy to me. For now I will live my following God, and trying to be the Inspiration for somebody everyday whether it's a kid who I have babysat, a family member, or a friend.

Here is the song I would like to share with you!
It is called "Angels Among Us" By Alabama

The Gift of Jesus!

2010-12-06T19:19:00.004-05:00

Coming home from Work tonight I saw a Church sign that I really liked. It said "Jesus is a Gift to be shared." As I think about this sign, I realize
I don't share the gift of Jesus as much as I should.

Some times I think around Christmas we get wrapped up with receiving presents, decorating, and shopping, and we don't think about the real meaning of Christmas.
Jesus being born on Christmas in a manager in Bethlehem.

My goal is to start talking to others about Jesus! We all need Jesus in our life.

Here is the song I would like to share with you today!
Away in A Manger-Third Day!

Get Back up Again!

2010-12-05T14:23:00.002-05:00

Today we are snowed in again! We probably have about 4 inches of snow!
Most of the local churches services were cancelled.

The past few days I have been thinking about the mistakes I have made!
It came to me that I just need to put the mistakes I have made in my past and not think about them anymore.

Everyone makes mistakes, but if you are saved and you ask for forgiveness he will give it to you.

The past few months have been one obstacle after another, but God is putting these in my life to make me stronger.

Sometimes we all get weak and need Help from God to get back up again!
This brings me to the song I would like to share with you today!

Toby Mac: Get back up Again!

Its begining to look a lot like CHRISTMAS!

2010-12-04T12:33:00.004-05:00

This morning I woke up to this:

It has been snowing ALL DAY, and we are expecting more. This is our First Snow of the Season. I Love The SNOW.

As it is getting near Christmas I see a lot of things that has Xmas on it. I don't like it at all. It should be CHRISTmas.

JESUS is the Reason for the season.

Here is a YouTube video I would like to share.
The song is The Christmas Guest it is sung by Andy Griffith!

Snow!

2010-12-03T10:21:00.002-05:00

Last night coming home from work as I pulled into the drive way there was a Deer and it was snowing pretty hard. I wish I could have got a picture, it was so pretty.

As I set there watching that deer a song pops in my Head "How Great is our God."
Our God is great, he has done so much for us.

God is there for us whenever we need him. He is only a prayer away. Lately he has helped me through several obstacles.

I wish that everyone would find him as their savior, the world would be a better place.

I am so lucky that I have grown up in a family who believes in God. I was very young when I accepted God as my savior. He has lead me through good times, bad times, and hard times.

Here is Chris Tomlin's How Great is Our God!

2010-11-23T22:46:00.002-05:00

These past few weeks as I have been working in The after school program at the local gym! I have noticed a lot of the kids are mean to each other and they only want to be with their friends.
I have started doing organized games that I choose and putting them in groups. I have had kids fuss, but so far its working pretty well.

Each kid are sensible in their own way to a circumstances.

The Voice Of Truth!

2010-11-17T22:25:00.002-05:00

Today wasn't a very good evening at work! I think Why does this have to happen on a day I was there and not the other girl! Then I found a quote that answered it. "If God Brings it to you He'll bring you through it."

I thought about that for a long time and then realized God put that Obstacle in my life to make me stronger. Like the song God gave me Mountains so I can learn how to fly.

On my way home I heard the song The Voice of Truth-Casting Crowns. I thought watching Facing the Giants would inspire me. Every Time I watch it It makes realize that no matter what Obstacle God puts in your life isn't too Big or too small.

Sometimes we may not understand why God put a person in our life, but there is always a reason!

It's hard to get over these Obstacle, but "With God All Things Are Possible."

Here is the Music Video is to "The Voice of Truth"

Lately!

2010-11-12T23:01:00.002-05:00

Lately I have been working Tuesday Thur Friday at The Childcare center I work at! On Tuesday nights I am with the younger ones, and Wednesday through Friday I work with the School age kids!

This will be The fourth week I have been doing it next week! I have also been participating with the kids in games of Dodge ball, Kickball, basketball, and tag!

I have found out I am more out of shape than I thought.lol I have had fun! I have been out of school for almost two years, and the last year you have to participate in gym is as a Sophomore! I have not exercised a lot in almost 4 years! That's a long time.

I have had fun participating with them. When I participate it seems like they listen to me more. All I do when I don't participate in the activity that day all I do it sit in a chair and watch! Starting this past week I have also been working out in the gym part too!

I am hoping to loose some weight, so it will be easier for me to participate with them!
I don't know if I am going to be the permanent Gym Monitor, but I would like to! At first I didn't want to but now I do!

I am just praying about it, and if God wants me to have the position then he will give it to me.

I have only worked out two days this week, but it has made me feel so much better. I used the step machine thing that you set down on I think its called a nu step or something like that.

The first night I did 1 lap and walked two on the track.

Then on night Two I did a mile on the machine, and walked two laps.

I will be filling you in about how my loosing weight is going!

Then and Now!

2010-11-09T21:05:00.004-05:00

I worked and volunteered at a Local daycare for about three or four years until they closed in 2008.

Every now and then I see a kid who went to that daycare. Most of them I see at my current job where the parents can sign their kids in for up to two hours while they exercise.

Tonight I saw a little girl that I haven't seen in about a year. She is six now, and I think wow she has really grown up since then.

I also think wow I'm getting old. There are kids who went to that daycare who are in Middle School and High School now. I am really going to feel old one of these days when I see a kid who is all grown up with kids that will be the day I will go crazy.lol

Sometimes when I see those kids I feel like crying, I loved working at the Daycare. Then again I think I wouldn't be where I am now if it stayed open. If it had stayed open it might not have stayed the same.
I do still talk to all the other's who worked there. I don't get to see them as much as I did back then, but it's still great to see them even if its just a couple times a month!

All these kids growing up are already making me feel old. My nephew will be four at the end of this month! I cannot believe it. It just seems like yesterday he was born!

Shout Fall Play Product Review

2010-10-27T12:04:00.004-04:00

I recieved a package from Shout with all kinds of Shout products in it!

I Love shout products. I work in Childcare and I get all kinds of things
all over me. With Shout now anything will come out.

I had a paint stain on one of my shirts that I have tried everything to get out,
and I tried Shout and it got it out. I was so Happy.

The value of Play and the Shout Go Play is important. Do you worry about your kids going to play football or another sport and come home with a HORRIFYING stain. Well now you have nothing to worry about Shout will take any stain out.

In this package a 52 Nature Activities card set came with it. These cards are available on Amazon. These are only $6.95.

Growing Tree Toys has lots of learning toys.

I am so blessed to have these kids in my life. They are so loving!
Here is a poem that I used in a Down Syndrome Research paper:

Special Angel
(Down Syndrome Birth)

by Sandy Eakle

As beautiful angels wings were
flying over the streets of gold,
the baby angels could only
watch since they weren't very old.

Then one day God stopped to
talk to a little one without wings,
just listen to the angels sing".

Confused yet excited the little
one said to the Lord,
"But I'm different from the others
God and not a miracle to behold".

"Oh, but yes you are," He said
with a hug and smile on his face.
"You're the greatest gift I can give
and a loving home you will grace".

You mean, tho I'm different and
will never be beautiful or smart
Someone will want me and give
me a place in their heart?"

"Gee God.....that person must be
special to be glad to have me,
Cause most folks would frown
and upset they would be."

God said, "your little heart was
filled with more love than most.
Cause I knew this family would
love you and hold you real close.

So go my little angel and take
the greatest gift I can bestow.
You're that "special" angel few
people have the honor to know."

Lock-in!

2010-10-16T13:14:00.005-04:00

Last night at my home church the youth group had a lock-in.
We had never had one at our church before. I was one of the Chaperones for it, and
I had tons of fun.
We had pizza and snacks when we got there. I made some cupcakes for it too. I am in a Cake decorating class and I love to bake.
Here are some pictures:

Then the kids did crafts, and I was in charge of paining faces. I am not a very good artist(lol),but I was lucky that most of the kids wanted their face painted in camouflage. I did paint some local high school teams on kids faces. One had me to paint smiley faces, and then one girl had me to paint a piece sign and smiley faces. One little boy wanted me to paint the word Pokemon on his face.

The kids watched movies and played games until about 11:00! The kids did not want
to go to sleep, but they all did end up going to sleep!

I think everybpdy had a WONDERFUL time! :)

Review of Plain Pursuit!

2010-10-12T21:22:00.003-04:00

A while back I recieved a book to Review from Book Sneeze called
"Plain Pursuit" Daughters of the Promise Book number 2
by Beth Wiseman.

It is a Wonderful book!
A description of it is:
Carley Marek goes to visit her friend who is Amish.
Carley starts to get used to the Amish County when her friend's
son gets sick. The Physician who could help him the most gets shunned.
Carley is in the middle of it all, but she is confused with everyone
talking about a God that Carley does not trust!

To find out what happens you will have to buy the book!

I give this book 5 STARS!

Buy It:
This book can be bought on Amazon and at local retail stores.

Yesterday!

2010-10-10T18:28:00.004-04:00

Yesterday we went to our local Corn Maze and pumpkin patch. We rode the
hayride up to the corn maze, and then we went through the corn maze.

After that we went to pumpkin patch, and picked a pumpkin. Then went up
to apple launcher and Pumpkin chunker.

We rode the Hayride back down to the store, and bought some gourds, and
some apple cider.

That night my Brother and I went with some of the youth group at the church
I work at to Encounter.

They had Christian music and speakers. It was LOTS of FUN!

Revival!

2010-10-10T10:28:00.002-04:00

This past week we had Revival at my home church! The preacher who preached
was only 22, and he did such a Fantastic Job!
He preached it like it is supposed to be preached.

I didn't get to go every night, but every night I did
go, he preached a sermon that touched me.

Fall Revival is one of my favorite events of the year.

We also had all kinds of singers there to. The first
night singers was my favorite. The first night singers was
a Family, and they were FANTASTIC.

The youth from our church
sung one night. The other nights singers were from local
church's. Then on Friday night we had a dinner after revival.

My all time favorite verse is:
"With God all things are possible." Mathew 19:26

Horrifying Commercial!

2010-10-04T13:22:00.002-04:00

I was watching the news this morning when they were telling a story on there about climate change.
They were telling about a commercial that was on the internet about global warming that had to be taken off because so many people complained.

The commercial was about a teacher and her students. The teacher was teaching, and asking about how many people agreed with her about Global Warming, and all but two kids agreed. Before the kids left the class the teacher pushed a button, and two kids blew up and showed blood all over the other students. This was a very graphic and horrifying video. They said there were more to it, but it was even worse.

They are taking climate change too far. They could have made a different video about something other than kids.

This video is very OFFENSIVE! It is sad that an Organization had to bring
kids into to it. The company had made it to make people laugh. Well I didn't laugh. On the news they said people really did laugh. Well it was no where near funny.

How?

2010-09-22T13:11:00.002-04:00

How could someone foster a kid, and then just send them back and write on facebook how much Better their life is. No I don't know the whole situation, but that 14 year old girl is in another Foster home. Even if something went on the Foster Mother should not have posted it all over facebook. That Made me so mad!
Yesterday on the girls facebook she had just moved in with another foster home. She asked for all of her friends to pray for her.
Please pray for her.

I know God has a plan for her. It just makes me so SAD to think that somebody wouldn't want her.(But like I said I don't know the whole situation)
All this has made me think How lucky I am to have a Mom and a dad that are still together and two WONDERFUL Brothers. I thank God everyday that I have a family, and don't have to be switched from Foster home to foster home.

Karen Kingsbury: Like Dandelion Dust!

2010-09-17T10:49:00.002-04:00

I just finished Karen Kingsbury book "Like dandelion Dust."
This is a WONDERFUL book, and one of my favorites.
It's about Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Adopting Joey when he was born, and five years later the birth Father got out of jail. The birth mother told him and they tried to get him back!

I recommend this book! This is also made into a movie that comes in Theaters September,24,2010.

What Love Really Means!

2010-09-16T08:17:00.002-04:00

Here is a song I thought I would share with everyone. It is called "What Love Really Means." By JJ Heller! This is a very inspirational song! I have only heard it a couple times, and it is one of my favorite songs!

Here are the Lyrics:
What Love Really Means (Formerly "Love Me")
BY JJ AND DAVE HELLER

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…

Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew

Nanny McPhee Returns!

2010-09-12T19:39:00.002-04:00

We went to the movies yesterday and saw Nanny McPhee Returns. This is a WONDERFUL movie and I highly recommend it.

My favorite part was when the Pigs were dancing in the pond! There were several other great parts too, but I don't want to give away the ending!

If you have the chance to go see it you should, and it is a great movie to go see with your family.

Lets Talk..... Period-Seventh Generation!

2010-09-03T14:57:00.002-04:00

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Seventh Generation has teamed with Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF), to honor and support Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month by raising funds for OCRF’s women’s support programs.

About Ovarian Cancer:
•Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the United States and is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among U.S. women.
•The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and subtle, making it difficult to detect and diagnose.
•Signs and symptoms include: bloating, pelvic and/or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly and urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency). If a woman is experiencing these symptoms for two or more weeks, and if they are new and unusual for her, she should see her doctor, according to OCRF.

Did you know:
•Ovarian cancer is often referred to as “the silent killer” because once diagnosed, it’s often in latter stages?
•The rayon in tampons is often whitened with chemicals containing chlorine, which can result in dangerous chlorinated toxins released in the environment?
•If every women of reproductive age in the U.S. replaced one package of 16 count regular size conventional rayon/cotton blend tampons with Seventh Generation’s organic cotton tampons, we could prevent 17,000 pounds of pesticides from entering our environment and polluting our rivers, lakes and streams?

Seventh Generation Tampons:
are •Made with certified organic cotton that is whitened without chemicals containing chlorine
•Free of rayon
•No added fragrances or dyes
•Recently rated number one by Good Guide, who provides the largest and most reliable source of information on the health, environmental, and social impacts of consumer products.

What can you do?

Review from Dav!

2010-09-01T11:29:00.003-04:00

I had the opportunity to review rain boots from Dav! I love my dav rain boots. They are so comfortable and are great when you go somewhere and it's raining, but you need to dress up a little.

Dav has all kinds of rain boots including:English style rain boots,Victoria Rain Boots, western rain boots, fashion rain boots, and kids rain boots. They also
have over the knee sock, umbrellas, and apparels.

I recieved the pink boots with polka dots on it, and a pair of pink over the knee socks.

I have had so many complements on my rain boots. I went to take a picture of my boots the other day and couldn't find my camera cord. They no longer sell the pink polka dot ones on Dav.

Here is a picture of a similar pair of rain boots.

They have all kinds of different rain boots. They even have kids rain boots that would be great for them to wear to school!

BUY them: Go to dav rain to buy a pair of rain boots or an umbrella for yourself or a gift.

Work!

2010-08-18T12:54:00.002-04:00

Yesterday was the last day of the Summer program at the Daycare I work at. We had lots of fun including a trip to the park where we had a cookout and made smores.

"Letters to God" The Movie!

2010-08-13T20:58:00.002-04:00

I just finished watching Letter's to God! If you have not saw this movie I highly recommend it to you! It is a very touching movie. The little boy who has cancer trusts in God no matter what happens! He writes letter's to God that touches their Mailman! "You are a letter. . . written not with pen an ink but with the spirit of the living God." 2 Corinthians 3:3

I have always wanted to help kids with Cancer! I'm just not sure how to get started with it! I would like to collect things to take to the children at the Local Children's hospital! Does anybody have any idea's of how to get donations for stuff to give to kids?

Also, there is a website for Letter's to GOd where you can write your own Letter's to God! Here is the Website!
