I know I've been a slacker lately with the blogging. I promise that I will write again very soon though! I just wanted to post a quick update on my foot for today. I went back to the Ortho and everything seems to be progressing well. I got to ditch that awful boot and am back in a brace and tennis shoes.
Only a month or so of therapy and I should be back to my normal, stiletto wearing, self!
Praise Jesus!!!

Exciting New Business
After much prayer and contemplation, I have signed up to be a Demonstrator with Stampin' Up!. Over the last year I have absolutely fallen in love with stamping. Just about every free minute I have is spent elbow deep in ink and paper now. So, if there's a way that I can spend time doing what I love and make a little money at the same time, I don't see a downside!
Please pray that as I dive in head first, God will be glorified in all I do. I'm sure that as I meet new people, He will open the door for me to share his love with others. I'm really excited to see what He has in store up ahead.
Oh, and since this does involve a lot of speaking in front of others, if you wanted to offer up a prayer that I don't throw up, those would also be much appreciated :)
Have a blessed day!

Obedience
There are moments in life where the greatness of God overwhelms my heart. Times that I see His plan unfolding in front of me as I stand in awe of Him. Tears run down my face as I write this because my heart is too full of joy to hold it in.
One of my dear friends led her daughter to Christ this morning.
So many little steps of obedience, by many people, led up to this moment. So often I don't understand where God is going at all. And there are many times I won't ever understand what His purpose was in a certain situation. I'm getting to the point where that's okay though. I don't have to know what He is doing, all I have to do is be obedient to what He is calling me to do. If one person in this sweet girl's story had chosen not to listen to God's calling, it would have changed everything.
I encourage you to listen for His voice and be obedient to whatever it is He's calling you to do. Even when it seems like something small or random. You never know what a difference it might make.

Rock Star Cutie
Friday night we went to Hailey & Michaels for a night of fun, fellowship, and pretending to be rock stars! Let me tell you friends, as the singer of our rock band I can tell you that the mike is a powerful thing. For those of you that have heard me sing and are wondering how I ended up with the mike, it's not because I have talent you didn't know about.
I am simply that bad at all the other instruments.
Bad singing aside, fun times were had by all! We had a 5th member join us and I included some pictures of the fabulous Hannah channeling her inner rock star. Enjoy!
Mommy, can I get one of these installed in my crib?
Uncle Scotlon helping me get the hang of the drums.
My turn! I think I'm ready for my solo act...
Daddy's playing now so I stole his shoes. I think they might be a little too big right now!
Am I cute or what???

All About Me: A to Z
I came across this survey and thought it would be fun!
A is for Age: Technically 26 but I rarely act like it!
B is for Burger of choice: My husband makes a mean bacon cheeseburger!
C is for what Car you drive: Silver Sebring
D is for Dog’s name: I have no dog's but I have two kitties that I love dearly, Mercedes and Lexus.
E is for Essential item you use every day: My coffee pot or my french press if I'm camping. I can not live without my coffee!
F is for Favorite TV show at the moment: There are so many that I love that it's hard to choose one! If I had to pick, probably Jeopardy. I realize that this solidifies my status as a nerd but that's okay. I watch with my husband every night and we try to beat each other. Yes, my husband is a nerd too. But he hasn't realized it yet so shhh...
G is for favorite Game; Rock Star on XBOX or Apples to Apples if we're talking board games.
H is for Hometown: First half of my life in San Diego, now and forevermore the suburbs of Atlanta.
I is for Instruments you play: Um...I play the radio. It's really easy, you should try it some time!

Hump Day Humor-Getting Older
Hump Day Humor
Hosted by Mercedes at Mercedes Rocks
Being the quote queen that I am, I couldn't resist using these for my blog this week. Enjoy!
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis
There was no respect for youth when I was young, and now that I am old, there is no respect for age - I missed it coming and going. ~J.B. Priestly
An archeologist is the best husband any woman can have: the older she gets, the more interested he is in her. ~Agatha Christie

Gray hair is God's graffiti. ~Bill Cosby
You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred. ~Woody Allen
A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that would triple its value every year. I told him, 'At my age, I don't even buy green bananas'. ~Claude Pepper
No man is ever old enough to know better. ~Holbrook Jackson

Cell Phone vs. The Bible
I received this as an e-mail from a friend and it stopped me dead in my tracks. It makes me wonder what our priorities really are...
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible
like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phones, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.
