Extraordinary Faith for Everyday Life
As of now, I’m going to participate in Fall, Y’all Bloggy Giveaway. That means YOU get something free from ME. I even pay for the postage. I have no idea what that is right now but come back next Monday and I’ll have something posted on it.
Let me know if you’re going to do it too so I can be sure to enter your giveaway–you know I’m about the free stuff.
Today the girls got to wear their costumes for the first time to their school’s Fall Festival. Best I can tell, it’s Belle from Beauty and the Beast: A Christmas Story meets Jessie from Toy Story 2.
I get hits every week on my site for people looking for the music played during The Hills episode. A little google search turned up this list from the episode…

Since I think the music is pretty cool myself and wouldn’t mind a few more mp3s to add to my iPod, I’ll try to include this in any weekly episodes I write up.
You’re welcome 🙂
This afternoon particularly was rough for me. There’s been another meeting scheduled with our youth council for this Friday and I started completely stressing about it. By the time Scott got home right before 5, he found me in a pool of tears on our bed. Not a great welcoming back home. But I say that to say this. God answers prayers. I’ve been so hopeless with our situation and all of the leaders being able to get along and I just have been begging God to show us the right thing to do. I don’t know if I have my permanent answer but for today, right now, a weight was lifted off. I don’t feel the anger, stress and worry that I felt this afternoon and it is many thanks to our pastor that showed this video during his guest-speaking sermon tonight in youth group. But more than that, many thanks to God for giving me what I needed when I needed it. I have no idea what Friday will bring but at least I’m going into it with the proper attitude.
If you know anything about Contemporary Christian music in the past 15 years or so, I’m sure you’ve heard of dc Talk or Toby Mac. This video features dc Talk members Michael and Toby talking about their friendship. It spoke volumes to me about our youth council and that there’s hope.
The video is kinda long at 10 minutes so if you don’t want to watch it, the best part is the last minute or two of Toby talking.
P.S. Kevin and Toby are still HOT!
I mentioned the other day really needing to laugh. I finally read something tonight that made me laugh out loud. Many thanks to Heather at Especially Heather. Now if I can just find a way to work in remarks like that back to the company’s audit department…
Is your son or daughter creative and in need of some college scholarships soon? Yeah, I’ve got two girls to hopefully put through college one day and I’d consider them creative. That’s why I wish my girls were old enough to enter this greeting cards scholarship contest. $10,000 would put a nice little dent in tuition costs and if you happen to have a son or daughter 14 years old or older, this seems like a no-brainer to enter. I think this is great since so many scholarships are based on academics, this gives your children to express their creative side in order to earn some money.
This company’s main objective is to sell business Christmas cards so keep that in mind when you or your child is designing the card. I imagine green cards with a forest in gold or Happy Holidays written in silver on blue. But that doesn’t sound very creative does it? Well, I’ll leave the work up to you or your children as I finished all the tuition-earning I plan to do in my lifetime about 12 years ago–haha, I’m sure I’ll be filling out all the scholarship forms right along side my girls in about 15 years. The contest has already started and you have until January 15, 2008 to come up with a birthday, holiday or even all-occasion greeting card. Good luck!
Poor Lexi.
S is over here today after school playing and Emma and S are clearly in their own little world together. Emma made S a bracelet for school and they’re pretty much lording it over her that she doesn’t have it. I have a little talk with Emma about being nice to her sister and Lexi walks up and asks why Emma was in trouble. I told her she was being mean to her. So Lexi looks upset and I pick her up and bring her inside. She says to me, "I want Emma to be my friend." Aww, Lexi feels left out. Who knew feeling left out could start at two years old?
