My Soul Magnifies the Lord

This is how I am feeling this evening... when everything else around you is frustrating and out of control, the peace of magnifying God in your soul is an incredible experience. Be blessed!

Do Not Pass Me By

I cannot believe I found this! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I've never seen the video before, but the song is so much fun! The traditional version of "Do Not Pass Me By" is in our hymnal at church.... every time I see it, I hear this song in my head! Awesome! I esp. like his rap about "They took me to the water, I went down in his name, I repented of all my sins, and I haven't been the same. My feet started to shake and my legs had to run, his love took my heart and his Spirit took my tongue." Sounds to me like this guy's got the Holy Ghost!!!!! lol!! I was trying to type this and my fingers got on the wrong keys, .... op[iurlknerklmngzl; My fingers were speaking in tongues!!! Enjoy!

Mixed up Christmas carol

This is so neat!!! It made me laugh! I think you'll like it too! Your smile for the day, right here! Those of you my age, dating back to the 80s, will love the ending! Toto!!!!!!

Stewardship

Hello all! Lest you think I am slipping into depression or something, I thought I would come on here and try to post something positive and cheerful! My mom called me and said, "I'm worried about you! Your blog is causing me concern." I'm fine, really! Struggling with finances like crazy, but otherwise fine. Jason and I had a long heart-to-heart last night (until 2am) and made some real decisions and committed to making a concrete plan to do something about the debt. It's killing us. So, don't worry about us... we're just working on our STEWARDSHIP skills. My pastor preached an AMAZING lesson this morning on stewardship. I am going to listen to the CD at least 2 more times, and let it really sink in. It was really good! So many times, we find ourselves "giving God" his 10 % tithe, and the rest is "ours". That SO limits what God can do in our lives. We should instead have the mentality that all we have we have received from God, and we are giving back to Him what belongs to Him anyway. I can't even put into words what he preached... it was so profound... I'll try to explain it better once I have listened to the message a couple more times.
Thanksgiving is coming! I have been thinking about what I have to be thankful for... the list is amazing! It makes me think of a song in our songbook...

Count your blessings, name them one by one

Count your blessings, see what the Lord has done

If I named them one by one, I'd be counting for days and weeks and months on end! My God is faithful above all things! I have much to be thankful for... first and foremost... the CROSS. My salvation. Amazing.

Well, I'm gonna get my little men tucked into bed so I can read my Bible. Here is a very cool song by Carman about my Bible, and the children's choir is going to be learning this very soon. Love to you all!

Down by the riverside

WOW! Be blessed by this! I sure was!!! AMAZING! Anointed!
This is from a blog that I read regularly called Sola Fide. This was filmed at a going away party they had for a member of their church who was moving... these are three members of their choir who just got up and sang..... WOW!!!!

Facing the Giants

This movie is so amazing... thought I'd share this with you all.

Everything a mom says in a day!

Check out this hilarious video of a lady who condenses everything a mom would say in a 24 hour period into 2 min. 55 sec.! It's awesome!

AND.... here are the words in case it goes too fast for you to understand!
"The Mom Song"

Get up now Get up now Get up out of bed Wash your face Brush your teeth Comb your sleepyhead Here's your clothes and your shoes Hear the words I said Get up now! Get up and make your bed Are you hot? Are you cold? Are you wearing that? Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at? Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play Don't shovel Chew slowly But hurry The bus is here Be careful Come back here Did you wash behind your ears? Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair? Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare Get along! Don't make me come down there! Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day? Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay? Can you even hear a word I say?Answer the phone! Get off the phone! Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table No more computer time tonight! Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home? Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight Eat the food I put upon your plate Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three Get a job, get a life, get a PHD Get a dose of, "I don't care who started it! You're grounded until you're 36" Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too? If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before That you're too old to act this way It must be your father's DNA Look at me when I am talking Stand up straighter when you walk A place for everything and everything must be in place Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about Oh! Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom Don't forget, I love you And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends You don't need the reason why Because, because, because, because I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!! Ta da!!!

Psalm 23 - Out of the mouths of babes

This is precious!

Let your light shine!

When Adam broke his ankle at church camp, it was because of all the jumping to the songs they were singing. Many of them came from the Hillsongs Kids album called "Super Strong God". Here is one of the songs that they sang almost every day, called "Let your light shine". It's fun!

There is a God

So... Adam is getting ready to start 5th grade. One of the things they study in 5th grade is the "big bang" theory of evolution (yes, THEORY, not science). So, we intend to make sure there is room for the creationist view as well. I love this video! I am going to show it to Adam tonight. In fact, I think I'll email it to him!

I'm a Pentecostal!

This video is totally amazing! Anointed and powerful! And Bro. Laird Sillimon is in it too! CLC East misses Bro. Sillimon. I'm a pentecostal and I am not ashamed!!! Filled with the power of the Holy Ghost and on my way to heaven! Praise God!!!!

Joyful, Joyful!!

If this song does not get you on your feet worshipping our great God, then you don't know the joy of the Lord like I do!!!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

When Jesus washed my sins away!!!! Praise God!!!
