The Bad:
- A job opportunity I was really hopeful about didn't work out. Ironically, I volunteered to work at the church three days this past week instead of my usual two, and after hearing this news, I had to go volunteer. Was NOT easy, but I pray I reflected Christ even in the midst of all of this.
- Last night (Saturday) I was on my knees taking a DVD out of the player to put another disk in, I lost my balance and the left side of my face slammed into the shelf that my DVD player is on. Now I have a "lovely" purple(ish) black bruise there. Had to pile on the powder before church today. And yes, it HURTS.
-Friday was a rough volunteer day, had to re-do some copies and refill boxes WITH said copies that took me about an hour to do (unknowingly with the "bad" copies) the day before. Was SO happy when the day was over!
The Good:
- Liz and DK found out they are having a baby girl!
- The AWESOME amount of love I got when the job didn't work out. My friends are incredible!
-Movies starring Patrick Dempsey.
-Flashpoint DVD's
- LOTS of crankin' up Michael W. Smith
-The start of another softball season for Alexis! Played their first game yesterday and won! Lexi made some awesome plays and every time she would look over at us to see our reaction...And the smile she got on her face....Man, I'm so proud! SHE was proud, and she had every right to be! Nothing like letting go of frustrations from a tough week by screaming your head off at a softball game! Felt GREAT! Got some sweet love from Austin while he sat in my lap for part of the game too...Love being an Aunt!
- A Golden Girls marathon today
Wrap-Up:
In a nutshell, the job news really affected me all week. And honestly, I'm still processing it. I'm confident however, that God will lead me where He wants me and open the right doors in His perfect timing! Please keep praying for me. All that said, looking at the list of "good," I have LOTS to be grateful for and excited about!
This week WILL BE BETTER! I'm claiming it now! :-) Have a great one!

Another Music Monday!
I come with two more recommendations for your music library:
Fall Over Me by Jon Bauer
This was going to be the only one I posted because I just can't stop listening to it! I end up either cranking it up and singing out with it just worshiping, Or I end up on my knees pouring my heart out to God. This song takes you to the Alter and keeps you there! AMAZING!!!!
However, I couldn't NOT include this one:
Lift Me Up by The Afters
Such an awesome, awesome promise in the words of this song that I have found myself clinging to these past few weeks! Be reassured and comforted with this one!
And yes, both are available on Itunes! Crank 'em up!

God Thing!
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! :-)
