Casting Crowns Concert!!

Friday night was the Casting Crowns Concert and it was AWESOME!! Its hard to nail down what the best part of it was but the coolest thing was sitting in the same section of the balcony with my friends! Above you'll see Emboz (and Madi!) and Jennifer and I. I walked into the balcony and immediately saw Mr. Boz. I thought that was super cool that we were sitting just a few rows over from eachother! At half time someone tapped me on the shoulder and lo and behold it was me and Emboz's Friend Jennifer from PCC! Crazy! She was sitting 7 rows directly behind me! It was just neat that God did that so we could all sit together and visit during the break!!
 Here are me and Muy Caliente before driving over. I love the look she is giving. Like really, seriously? I didn't sign up for truck portraits!! Honey, you're riding with me so yes, yes you did!

Thankfully Katie is used to them and posed in her van before we left!!


Me and my Joey. He was SO EXCITED when we told him we were going to see the people that sing Slow Fade!! I thought he was going to stroke out for a minute there!! What a sweetheart.



And this would be a few hours after that. Poor bubbie could not make it to 11 pm. He fought a valiant fight but he was suddenly conked out on my shoulder. It was so cute i had to take a picture. And he slept right through that. Slept right through me screaming, hoot'in and hollering as my Dad would say. Bless my heart, my voice sounded horrible all weekend. Good thing I hibernated and no one had to hear me because it was BAD!
Anyways I am SO GLAD that I went to the concert!! Being in a room with thousands of other believers worshipping God was just indescribable. I said on my fb that I'm pretty sure thats what heaven will be like and I can't wait! I especially liked it when we sang acapella and it was just all of these voices lifting up to God! I used to love it in church growing up when we would sing hymns and sing the last verse without the instrument, my favorite was "Grace greater than all our sins"
I could write a whole 'nother post about hearing "Praise you in this storm" live. It was beyond words. Beyond words indeed. To be on the other side and see the great and mighty things that God has done in my life and in my heart since that storm.. wow... I sang with all my might to that song. God is great indeed. Sometimes its hard to remember when you're in the storm, but he is who he is, no matter where you are.

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

Book Review: The moments you were mine by LJ Evans

  Once again I was lucky enough to be on the ARC team for another book by LJ Evans. Since I have discovered LJ she has become one of my top 5 must read authors. LJ’s books are like Christmas Day. Or your birthday if you’re like me and obnoxiously celebrate both. :) You count down the days until it happens with great expectation and excitement and then it gets there and you almost don’t want it to be there because then it will be over and you have to wait another 364 days for the magic to come by again. Thankfully for all of us LJ writes more than one book a year so we are all #blessed in that aspect. I’m always super excited to get and read her books, but it’s a mixed feeling of not wanting to start reading it because then it will be over, and I can’t wait to read it and see what happens. Oh the struggle of being a book lover! I had some FEELINGS over Parker and Fallon. I felt like they were real people and at several points I wished they were real people so I could take t...

Life in Phone Pics

 Can I just say how much I appreciate the fact that my new phone takes so much better pictures than my old one?! I have been using my phone for almost all of my pics! And bonus, no purple hair! Above is a new dessert I made. A Smores Cookie Bar. It was yummy. I had some and then realized I would eat the entire thing if I kept it. So I gave 90% of it away to my students. This just cracked me up. Last weekend when I was elevating my feet I obviously had the lights off and yet my toes were so neon pink that you could still see them in the darkness!  My toes weren't the only thing pink on my body. My sunburn was of an epic proportion. now it has started to peel. Everywhere. Even my arms. yuck. I'll spare you from that! Oh well, at least my hair looked cute here!  Yes, I am really showing you a picture of my cabinet. Last night I decided to totally move all but one of my cabinets. Erm. or rather the insides of them. My dishes and glasses used to be in th...
