Amen To This!

It's The Little Things

So many times I think I get so caught up in waiting for God to do those BIG, HUGE, God sized things in my life, that I forget about the little fingerprints He puts in my life every day!

* I was going to the Hornet football game tonight (the first game of the season) and had NOTHING green to wear! I was able to go on my lunch break from my volunteering at the church today and find a very cute (and cheap) Hornet shirt!

* As I walked in the door from work today, Alexis greeted me with a big hug and kiss, as if she hadn't seen me for months!

* I got to go out and have a great dinner with great friends before the game where we were able to catch up on each other's lives and in doing so find out how we could pray for each other more specifically.

* We had some trouble finding seats at the game and were finally able to get permission to sit in the reserved section so I could sit in my wheelchair and still see. We were told though that if the people whose seats we were sitting in arrived, we would have to move. We later found out those seats were the seats of FRIENDS of the people I had come to the game with! They told us they rarely sat in them and we were free to use them any time! (Now, out of ALL those seats, what are the odds that the people I came with would be friends with them?!)

* Austin and Kimberly found us at the game as they were heading to buy a drink! Austin gave me a big kiss without even being prompted....And then my heart melted.

* Got to see one of my favorite people EVER at the game...He was down on the field and had no idea I was there, but just seeing him made me happy! (Shout out and hugs to Shane Martin!)

All of these were little things that just made my day and made it apparent that God was in the details!

Dear Lord, may I always be on the lookout for Your Fingerprints every day! May I always be mindful of the small blessings you send me and may the little things always remind me I am ALWAYS on Your mind! Amen.

Keep An Ear Out!

Tonight I heard Chris Tomlin's latest single "I Will Follow" and I LOVED it! I really wish I could direct you to a place where you could hear it, but apparently it's SO new, it's not even up on Chris' website yet! When it does pop up somewhere, I'll be sure to post it, but until then, listen for it! AWESOME song!

While we're on the subject of music, let me just remind you to be listening for Michael W. Smith's new single "Save Me From Myself" as well. That single in it's entirety and snippets from several other songs from his new album WONDER can be found on Michael's website HERE. That album releases September 28th!

Great songs, by two great artists....All glorifying HIM! What could be better? ;)

Prayers For Sterling

Prayer warriors out there please lift up five year old Sterling Davis!

I noticed a lot of my friends FB statuses today mentioned Sterling and upon reading about his situation, I soon found out, I know his Dad, Roger!

I met Roger YEARS ago when I went to Crosspoint (a Christian sports camp). Roger was one of the staff members, Roger then was involved in Studentlife (another Christian camp) that I went to after my Crosspoint years were over. I haven't kept in touch with him so I had no idea I KNEW someone in this family until I saw a picture of Rodger just a few minutes ago. It takes things to a new level when you know the people involved.

You can read about and keep up with the latest updates on their website HERE.


Thanks so much for praying!

In Case You Didn't Know....

Off to First Grade!

Alexis begins FIRST GRADE tomorrow! My goodness, my little Ladybug is growing so fast! Mom's aren't the only ones that say that, Aunt's do too! :) Please keep her in your prayers throughout the day! Thanks!

I'm LOVING this commercial...I believe Lexi's "angel" will be looking out for her as well!

If Only I Could!

I went to a wedding shower tonight for a very dear friend of mine. As soon as I walked in the door, this dear friend's sister rushes up to me and says, "Grey's Anatomy's publicity people should really hire you! Everything you say about it on Facebook has me watching again!"

The comment made my night, and if it's true, then I've done what I set out to do!

If only she knew just how badly I wish I COULD do that and WOULD if it were possible! I've always said I wanted a job in the entertainment industry. To get paid to talk about and promote the shows I love to watch is really what I would love to do! I envy the people that DO get to do that. Christi Knight and Natalie Abrams are totally my inspirations....They rock at what they do, and I want to be just as great as they are!
