Love At Last Sight by Kerry and Chris Shook

This book, Love At Last Sight by Kerry and Chris Shook, is different than the last one. It is non-fiction, which is not my usual genre, but I was glad to read this book. It is about growing and deepening relationships. A good read for everyone.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Two Tickets to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul

I'm reviewing this book for a purpose. :-) I want to continue to receive from books from the company.

The book is called Two Ticket's to the Christmas Ball by Donita K. Paul. She's the author of DragonSpell.

I read this book in about a day! I could not put it down. It's a Christmas book with Christian values and themes in it. I smiled many times, including at the end. If you are wanting a quick read, some laughter, the true meaning of Christmas, and romance thrown in, get your hands on this book.

VBS

VBS went really well this past week. Everyone said it was the best one we had. I was in the Spyglass Theater part. The theme for VBS this year was The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. It was so much fun to dress up as a pirate...erm I mean a piratess! hehe

Monday's Bible story was about Moses and the burning bush.
Tuesday's was about Gideon.
Wednesday's was about the fiery furnace.
Thursday (which was mine!) was about Jesus and Peter walking on the Sea of Galilee.
Friday was about Paul being shipwrecked.

I'm worn out by all the fun and details and such. I'm looking forward to next year! :-)

Long time

It has been such a long time since I wrote. I just didn't have much to say, I guess. I though I didn't. Sometimes I just need to start writing and I'll come up with something. I usually do.

It's going to be a fun time this year again helping out with VBS. I'll tell you about it as the week goes on this coming week that is.

Well I'm signing off for now. God Bless you. Have a good one...day or night.

Another vent on a different topic...

Is it okay if I vent again? I already did a bit to my husband, Ben ;-) but I needed to do so again! lol

*sigh* I understand now that my brother is trying to be big brother even though is a year younger than me! He still tries to tell me how to run my life, spend my time, etc. *sigh* What's so exasperating about it that he plays video games! I wonder how a game on FB is different than a video game...??

*shakes head*

BUT I joined that game on FB anyway...lol. I wonder what he will say...it is fun to play though :-) hehe

WARNING A VENT!

Just so you know this is going to be a bit of a vent. I didn't want to put this where it might hurt someone's feelings that hasn't read my blog. lol If it still hurts or offends someone, forgive me and get over it. I already warned you! lol

I am a member of a forum type thing for pregnant women, moms, and women who hope to get pregnant. Today,  I was reading a post about how it isn't far that some women get horrible morning sickness, etc. I wanted to post...you should be glad you are pregnant! Do you have any idea how much it hurts at times to read all these posts about how horrible or unfair this and this is and I'm wanting to tell them...I would LOVE to be where you are! They need to thank God for their blessings...they are bringing life into this world! Be glad...and happy.

*sigh* To be in their shoes...I am trying not to wish away my time right now, but it is SO hard!

God, help me to see that the time I have with Ben now is wonderful times. We need not 'worry' about a child, etc, but I am desiring...yearning for a little one Lord. Please...please...a child(ren) for us.

Let the chaff burn!

I posted this as my Facebook status. It says:


You know how fire consumes everything in its path? That's how Holy Spirit wants to be in our lives. He wants to burn the chaff. He won't burn what you don't give Him. Why would we want to keep any part of ourselves from Him?


Burn the chaff in my life, oh Lord! I'm ready for what is to come. I'm looking ahead and leaving the past in the past!


I am tired of people who aren't willing to give God everything. I want to shake their world and tell them that Jesus (God in human form) gave ALL of Himself! Why can we not give that much to Him? Are we so ungrateful? Are we so snobby? Are we so scared?


Don't YOU have a clue? Have you not even realized that what you are doing is walking ALL over what Jesus has done? Get over yourself and start being the man or woman God has called you to be! PICK YOURSELF UP! Don't be a burden. Let Holy Spirit burn the chaff and move on! There is nothing in this world that you can buy that you can take with you! GOD ONLY WANTS YOU!!


Can you hear it? Can you hear what Holy Spirit is whispering to you?


If you can't hear Him...try this. Speak the name of Jesus out loud over and over...until you can't speak it anymore because the tears are closing your throat.


Can't you see...have you not heard...the Lord is calling you to a higher calling. He is waiting for you. He YEARNS for you! Don't let him wait...run. Run to Him...all who labor and are heavy laden. He will give you rest!
