Recap of the week

This week has been quite busy for my family. My grandparents went on their first cruise and while they were away their kids and grandkids went to town on their home acting like "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" only instead, "mini makeover". The floors were replaced with berber carpet and laminate flooring. The "sewing/fabric room" was converted into a spare bedroom and the "junk room" was converted into storage/pool table (kid size) room. As excited as i was to see my grandparents faces as they walked through the rooms, I must say I completely forgot to take the first picture to document this special occasion. How nice it must have been to come home to your family ready to greet you with a smile and hug, and what a bonus to have the fireplace a glow, and the house "spic and span". Pretty cool! With all that now accomplished, it's time for a good 'ol day of rest! Praise the Lord for the weekend!:)

Thanks for listening.

Talk about having a little too much fun...

Check this out.

Blessed!

The latest thing I would like to exclaim my praises to God for are the continuous outpouring of new Christian friends through CharlotteOne. I love being apart of the body of Christ. Last night was the Shane and Shane concert!! As always it was amazing. I think my new favorite song of theirs is burn us up. Check it out!

I almost forgot!.. so, I'm a greeter at CharlotteOne each week and since last night was the concert, I was one of the peeps taking the tickets to get in. While I'm taking tickets,this guy trys getting in without a ticket and says, " I'm with the band, I'm with the band." My skeptic self is like, yea whatever go ahead. It wasn't until my friend Daniel told me, the guy I tried to keep out of the place was the guy I had came to see! Talk about hilariously embarrassing!In case you are aching to know who it was, it was Shane Everett. It just goes to show you how ordinary "famous" people look. It was a neat reminder to me that we all fall short, and no matter how "famous" we are, we all will bow down to the FAMOUS ONE.

Here's to Change..

It's so easy to do the norm..wake up, work, eat, hang out with family, friends, sleep, repeat... but seriously... BLAH!! I love my friends and family, don't get me wrong, but I want to Seek the Lord daily.. I want to have a real personal relationship. Yes I read my bible, yes I pray, yes I sing in the shower and car my favorite praise songs, but it's not enough. I want more of Him, my Jesus. I dont' want to just live life my way day in and day out. He blessed me with hands to interpret, to have a job, to pay my bills, to have shelter, to have a car, .. the least I can do is give him credit for all He has done. I'm disgusted with myself so often for watching television programs mindlessly when I have yet to see what my Savior, Father, Creator has to tell me. I'm NOT a morning person but if the Lord had no place to lay His head when on earth, the least I can do is give up a little bit of comfort (literally) to enjoy what my Savior has instore for me. He makes each day new for me to enjoy. He brings me sunshine and rain, he brings me rainbows and butterflies, dogs to pet and children to hold. What a mighty God I get to serve!

To my readers: Please pray that I will add more time to my days by waking up earlier or locking my self in my room sooner (before bed) so I can seek His face and have that "date time" with my Heavenly Father. My friend gave me a 90 day plan for reading the Bible all the way through. I'm definitely interested. I want to read His word like a Karen Kingsbury Novel, not that I've ever read one, although I hear they are quite the read!

Father remind me of your great love minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. I want more of you Jesus. Make me uncomfortable so I seek your face more and more. When I'm weak, you make me strong. Your love is better than life Lord. Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice so that I can live for you and be with you in Heaven.

I love you Lord.
Amen.

Out of the three, which one do you think I look most like?

CharlotteONE

I am so thankful for CharlotteONE. In case you haven't heard, CharlotteONE is a place of worship held on tuesday nights where hundreds of young adults come together to praise the Almighty Father. I'm so blessed to be a part of CharlotteONE! Instead of looking forward to the weekend, I find myself moreso looking forward to Tuesdays! The Lord has brought so many amazing men and women in my life with different gifts and talents. It's encouraging to see people my age, without a husband/wife, without kids, without anything but themself and the Holy Spirit. It's easy to lose your focus in our world; forgetting our sole purpose for life, to SERVE Him, Jesus Christ!



If you are between the ages of 18-35 and are looking for a place to plug in and serve the Lord, CharlotteONE is a great place to be. There are tons of ways to volunteer; making coffee, set up and tear down team, "greeters", connecting, hospitality, technology. All of these groups are in need of willing volunteers to be the hands and feet. This Monday, February 15th, Shane and Shane and John Mark Mcmillan will be in concert! Tickets will be sold at the door for $15 each.
