2008 in Review

2008 has come and gone already.  It sure seemed to go by quickly…sometimes a little too quickly!
January
The year started out with me beginning to work on Power Lab VBS (Ah Ha!).  I was also homeschooling Michael.  We were pretty on top of our schooling and things were going pretty smoothly at the time.  I was [...]

Servant of God

Are you a servant of God?  Do you serve in church in hopes someone will notice?  What exactly is a True servant?
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.  Colossians 3:23
A true servant shows selfless love towards others.  Being willing and available to meet the [...]

Spoken to

So tonight I was enjoying listening to my MP3 player while Kevin played video games on his Xbox 360.  I had my MP3 player randomly choose my album to play today.  Today’s album was Superchic[k]’s Beauty From Pain.  I enjoyed listening to the songs today, but there were a couple that spoke to me…
Suddenly

So did [...]

Amazed

This past weekend, I found a journal of mine that had 12 entries in it.  The pages were all messed up and I decided since I had this really cute journal sitting around the house collecting dust, I would transfer all that information into my new one.  (I have a ton of cute journals laying [...]

Faith

Kevin and I have been going to a Bible Study on Wednesday nights.  The first question that was asked…
How would you define your faith?
The Bible defines faith as:
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1
I have pondered this question in my head for the [...]

Fun Night

Tonight, I got a call from a friend asking if I would like to meet her at Starbucks for some coffee and conversation.  How can you pass up Coffee and Grown-up conversation without children?
I had such a wonderful time talking with her.  She understands my struggles…and me just speaking out my struggles with her (i.e. [...]

Accountability Partner/Mentor

Have you ever had this dream…you know it’s there, but the picture isn’t quite clear?  You know there’s something special there, but you just can’t quite remember all the details?  You can still feel those “feelings” you had when you first had the dream, but now you can’t quite remember how that dream went?
How do [...]

Worship

As you may (or may not) know, I sing on our church’s Praise and Worship team once or twice a month, depending on the schedule.
Today I was on the schedule, which means a practice on Saturday morning for Sunday services.  Saturday morning was met with me bringing all 4 boys to practice (something I don’t [...]

Comparisons

I was reading my morning blog feeds, and came across one that made me pause…and seriously contimplate what I have been doing way too often in my life!
Peter from Without Wax had a post entitled:  I’m Tired of this Game.  In it, he talks about comparisons he makes about other people.  I sat there and [...]

Teacher Appreciation

I have been working with the Children’s Ministry director at our church to get things together for the Teacher’s appreciation luncheon.  I need some help!
I am looking for contemporary Christian songs that have meaning that would go along with doing God’s work.  I’m working on a video/photo presentation and am in need of 2-3 songs.  [...]
