Lookie here! TWO blog entries in ONE DAY! Don't get used to it, probably won't happen again for awhile, I just HAD to tell you guys about the GOD THING that happened to me a few minutes ago.:
I was getting my things ready to go get in the shower and I was thinking about something that I used to pray constantly about. Eventually though, I resigned myself to the fact that His answer was "No" because nothing ever happened with it. Thinking about this particular thing, I turned on my KLove radio app on my iphone as I headed to the bathroom to start the water in the shower. I was stopped in my tracks as I saw their encouraging word for the day:
"Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 NLT
You wanna tell me that's a coincidence? I think not! Want to guess what God and I talked about during my shower tonight?!
May your week be filled with God things, and may we KEEP ON asking, KEEP ON seeking and KEEP ON knocking!

Weekend Wrap-Up!
My weekend had it's share of ups and downs. Thankfully, 99 percent of it was "up."
Friday:
Mom returned home from being in Dallas since Tuesday taking care of my Grandma who had been in the hospital to have fluid drained from around her heart. She's doing better now. We celebrated by the entire family (minus Tazzie) going to a steakhouse and having a delicious meal together!
Heard that I converted another friend into a Flashpoint fan! WooHoo!
Saturday:
Got a hysterical e-mail from a friend of mine thanking me for a birthday card and joking that he was getting too old. I ADORE this guy and his e-mail had me rolling!
Sunday:
Woke up from a dream starring Patrick Dempsey in which I was in line waiting for his autograph and was ONE PERSON away from meeting him when the person I was with, pulled me away saying, "We gotta go, we're gonna miss our flight!" The last thing I remember is being pulled around the corner and Patrick was gone. Then I woke up!
Had an emotional morning at Church as I talked to a few people about my volunteer position and some concerns I had. Ended up in tears, but I'm hopeful about a few things. Please keep praying about that with me, Thanks!
Went out to lunch with Mom and Dad after Church and topped it off with a visit to Starbucks!
Got home just in time to see Patrick Dempsey and his race team Dempsey Racing place THIRD in the 24 Hours at Daytona, and watched a teary and emotional Patrick give a post game interview, which was all it took to make ME teary and emotional all over again! SO proud of and for all of those guys!
Just watched Julianna Margulies (from The Good Wife) win a Screen Actors Guild Award! Love her and I'm THRILLED she won!
So, that was my weekend! How was yours?

Prayer Request
Many of you know that I volunteer at my Church two days a week. For the most part, I've enjoyed my time there. I love interacting with the people that call in or stop by.
However, lately it's become apparent to me that I may need to move on for a variety of reasons. I currently don't have any leads on any other jobs, but I because of this volunteer position, I haven't really been looking that hard.
Would you pray with me that God would give me guidance and open doors for job opportunities? And if it be His will that He might provide me with a job that might somehow allow me to pursue my passion of television and the entertainment industry.
Would you also pray that until God does move me in another direction, that He give me the patience I need to continue volunteering and a genuine joy that CLEARLY reflects Christ when I am there (and of course, when I'm not there as well).
Thanks for praying! :-)

"Copy That!"
I might as well start labeling Friday's "Flashpoint Friday." It was a week ago today that I got promising news about my new favorite series, "Flashpoint" and here I am today with more good (oh heck, it's FABULOUS) news...
CLICK HERE TO READ THE NEWS THAT MADE ME ALL SORTS OF GIDDY!
And here I was all set to start a letter writing campaign to networks and producers. Guess I can hold off on that. I love how God cares about even the smallest (and in our eyes pretty silly) desires of our heart, because I've been praying about this....And today, got my answer! :-)

Taste
Alexis and Austin have gotten to where they really like Wendy's new french fries with sea salt (I like them a lot too). Today, Lexi asked if we could stop and get her some. We did and got Austin some as well (Dad was picking him up).
Lexi ate hers on the way home and Austin ate his when he got to the house. As he was sitting there eating, he said, "I taste the salt!" Mom told him, "Yes, that's sea salt!" after closely examining his french fry, he said, I don't see the salt..." Mom said, "No, you can't see it, but you can taste it!"
I was struck by how this is also true when it comes to God. We can't see Him in a physical body yet, but we can sure "taste" Him...In the ways in which He reveals Himself in the little and big things in our every day lives.
"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." Psalm 34:8
Have you "tasted" God today?

Sounds Promising!
So, I told you all in my Christmas entry how much I'm now hooked on the summer series, "Flashpoint." It's filmed in Canada and does very well there in terms of viewers, US viewers on the other hand seem to be a different story. It seems there are some unaired episodes from the current season (season three) that are now being shown in Canada every Tuesday night (and this is why every Tuesday night I wished I were in Canada).
It's been unclear as to whether or not those episodes would ever be shown in the US or if the show would even get picked up for another season here. Today, I got the following message via twitter:
"@TVGuide: CBS has six episodes of #Flashpoint that are likely to air this summer. Network has option to order more."
Needless to say, this news made my (and a lot of other US fans) day! I'm crossing my fingers that they do in fact show those episodes and that they order more!
I want to urge everyone reading this right now to check out the show. All of the seasons (1,2, and 3) episodes are available for download at Itunes or you can watch a few episodes on CBS.com.
I have the addresses to some of the higher ups at CBS and I plan on writing them in support of the show. Check out the show, and if you like what you see and want to join me in my campaign, let me know and I'll send you the addresses.
This show is a rare find and it needs support if it's going to make it here in the states. So, please check it out and let me know what you think!
