THe night before thanksgiving!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! To all you americans out there..I hope that it was awesome!!
Hmmm...well, this past week? Has been crazy, however good..It seemed like every chance i got to sit down, i had to get right back up and do something..but it was cool!
One thing i forgot to mention last time, was that after preaching on Sunday, i realized that my zipper was down..yea, not my finest moment..then i told my pastor, Ray, about it he began to tell me how often that had happened to him!! It was quite a bonding moment!! hee hee!! Friday and Saturday, Chrissy and I led worship at the same church that i spoke at.. The first night was kind of weird, cuz i assumed a few things, only they didn't have what i assumed they would..so it was kind of awkward, but good..Saturday was really good..we just had the guitar, chrissy played, then the three of us sang(chrissy, carrie and I) we just did it all accoustic!! It was awesome..the presence of God was there and it totally rocked!! The preacher asked us our name and we are like umm The Rainbow Chicks..we really don't have a name we just decided that we all were going to sing..Later we thought we should have called us The Band You About To Hear..hats off to Liz!
Sunday I sang in the worship team at church..man, the first service, was about normal, cuz it's not suppose to be wild or anything..however we don't really listen to that rule!!but the second service was awesome..we were dancing, Vicky and I, on the stage, and my wire kept coming out of my pocket(handless microphone, it always makes me feel like britney spears or something) but it was so much fun!! We sang This Is Life, man God showed up and did amazing things..we also had these people there, that were once in prison but got saved..man one of them could sing...and their testimonies were so cool!! God Rocks!! Afterward we hung out at the chinese place, Jon hopped in my car where he hooked up his new Ipod and started singing, He is so cute!! Rushed back to the church for a birthday party, hung out there forever, playing the guitar and talking..It was a good day!
Now I am waiting for my biscuits/rolls to get down so this way i won't have to get up too early tomorrow..only i didn't start them soon enough and it is now 11:11 pm, and it seems i will up for awhile, but it's all good..Marlyn Manson is on the late show, and i'm kind of intrigued!!
Anyway, I'm tired, and am ready for bed, so i think i am going to check my rolls, pray they are ready to go in the oven and then i can go to bed!!
I love you all, Goodnight!!

This weekend has totally rocked!! Friday we all went and watched The Incredibles!! Which was at first boring, but quickly got amazing..i wish i was elastigirl..she rocked..only the theatre was like packed, i think they sold to many tickets or something..we had to sit on the stairs, which was really cool at first, but quickly our butts became numb, than other limbs as well!! It was great!! Afterwards we went to walmart, where Chrissy pushed me around the store, which was fun. 'Cept I think someone complained about it to a manager, cuz there were a few people that looked unhappy..but oh well, then we rolled down this hill by walmart..it rocked!! This morning I went to a church, sang, and spoke..It was fun, cuz like when we first moved to Robinson it was the first church we started to go too..so it was pretty cool! I stood up there in my big baggy jeans and just talked about Jesus..It was really cool!! I love doing this kind of stuff!! Now I have officially filled out my application for the worship school..so we will see how that goes..Still unsure if I am going or not. So yea, I love God!!

dancing dogs, flowers, and frizzy hair!
Tuesday night, the CMA awards were on, something to do with country..and well i don't like country at all, howevery my parents are big fans..i guess..So this was like the event of the year..they recorded it..heaven help us! So they were watching it yesterday, and i was about to pull my hair out, when this one act came on..Now i am not sure what they were trying to do, but it was so wrong..It was suppose to be a country band, but they had this wanna be rock sound to it..it was horrible, you just can't do that, you can't put rock in with country..it just sounds gross...then to top it all off, they brought out this black guy, who was in cowboy boots, hat, tight pants, leather jacket and a sparkling superman shirt..he couldn't dance, the rap was okay, i guess, but i just kept looking at the band and wondering what in the heck were they thinking..anyway, i about peed my pants..
Lisa if you read this, don't say a word, i don't want to hear it!! Lisa is a fan of country, we had a little disagreement about this band last night..So yea...
Tomorrow we are going to watch The Incredibles...anyone seen it?? whatcha think?? i have loved this man, the big guy, since he first came out on nemo...i can't wait!! don't worry, adam is still my one and only!!
Today, i took the kids to Pizza hut, with my family..it wasn't such a good experiance..Sometimes i wonder why i want kids..they just stress you out...then yesterday we were walking in my woods or close to it, and they saw some flowers, more like weeds, but they picked them, and gave them to me...today before nap time, they were like hugging me and just being so cute...those moments make it all worth it..it's like maybe the times that you want to kill them out way the times where you just love them, but when those moments happen you forget about all the stuff that they did to make you crazy, and later on you remember the good ones more then bad ones..It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy..
Goodnight!

Sometimes the mystery can not be solved
Dude, God is so cool!! Sometimes I wonder why, but He just is..It is so amazing!! In the last 3 months my life as not been the greatest, coming home was like woah...and it was like someone had taken a rope and pulled on it right as i was getting ready to walk over it and tripped me up, knocking me off my feet..and i have been trying to get back up for some time..I have cried myself to sleep and hated waking up in the morning..it seemed like i could not get myself out of here, for whatever reason it was, i am not sure. Maybe i didn't want too..it seemed like all the stuff that i had learned at the school, i had thrown out the window without a second thought. I wanted to run back to the school, to toronto. It was my safe place. Only when i did go back it hit me that it wasn't ever going to be the same. Now i am not telling you this for your pity or anything else..i am only telling you this to tell you what God has done and how He has done it. This past week, we had a 27/7 prayer and fasting. Praise God for the rain cuz i didn't have to work at all last week..So at first i was going to blow off the fasting part..but then i realized that i really needed to do it...so i fasted sugar..for only like 3 days, ate one meal a day and drank a lot of water!! I did cheat one day, but only because Jon and i went out to dinner at this amazing italian restaurant and they brought out dessert and i had to have some, but other than that..i was good!!God really showed up, the week before this, i was in the prayer room and just soaking and i could feel His arms wrap around me, and he gave me this vision with a baby. I am thinking my little sister's..it was so cute. Last week, i came to church and just read the bible. Like zephaniah, and all those ones that no one really reads, but you could see God's grace, and mercy in these books, and hope for the future and all that jazz...it was so amazing..I cried, repented, cried, prayed, and today, which is sunday, was one of the best days i have had in so long..i just worshipped at church, gave all that i had into it..cried out to God and then we had testimonies and i cried even more..It was so wonderful!! God like totally rocks my world..it's like hope was renewed and i found him..i wanted him so bad this past week, that i couldn't not look for him..It was so good.. The sun has begun to shine amongst the darken clouds..and I know that it can only get better.. How does he have such patience for us? How does He love us, even when we hide in a corner hoping no one will find you, he peeks His head around and says,"peek-a-boo!". He brushes you off, and says,"Are you ready? Lets go!!" I don't understand this mystery, but I love Him for it..He is so cool!! I love Him so much!! anyway, i just wanted to share that with you all!! |
