So there's not really a whole lot that has happened since the last time I wrote, but I've had a few youtube videos in my head thinking "when I post again, I have to tie these in.." Instead, I'm just going to post them and let you know that I've been enjoying them the past few days and wanted to pass them along to you all!
The first one.. I was just signing onto my Yahoo email account when (as they do a lot of times) the little news clips towards the bottom caught my eye.. I was looking through them and saw the words "lite brite". That interested me seeing as how I used to have one of these when I was younger. I clicked on it. It just so happened to be a David Crowder Band music video! It made me excited to see that something like using a stop-motion music video could interest whoever it is that posts those little news things. Way to go! Here it is..
Now, I don't know if it is common knowledge, but basically what they did was create one sheet of the lite brites, take a picture, move a few pegs, take another, and so on... until they could play them sequentially to make a video.. a TON of time went into this! (there's also making of videos on youtube that intrigued me as well...)
This next video is a song that we sang in church yesterday. I had never heard it before, but I now have heard it plenty! (Between Carson and I looking it up to hear it, it's been close to 15 times or so since yesterday afternoon!) Carson was able to participate in playing electric with the band, which was cool... although I felt like we were in Life Action with the 7:30 call time :) Anyways, there was a pretty powerful presence during corporate worship at Riverside yesterday that flowed into the message about God's great love and our relationship with Him. And here is the second video..
It's just so incredible to me that no matter what, the God of the universe Loves ME!

A long time coming..
Abandoned my blog or what?
Definately didn't forget about it, just "didn't have time"... I only put it in quotes because I've realized within the past few days that the excuse above has taken the place of a lot of things. After admitting repeatedly, I finally did something about it! I talked to my wonderful husband and to my amazing Creator! I am trying to prioritize some things that I sort of threw to the side.. and it's working so far! Praise the Lord!
The past couple days I've been finding a way to capture my attention into studying the Word.. Towards the end of last week I felt the Lord leading me to 2 Peter. I had been struggling with taking the time to spend reading. I felt kind of wierd envisioning this passage and having no idea what it was about. Verse 10 says "Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you will never fail. " In context, this verse is talking about the qualities of love, affection, godliness, steadfastness, self-control, knowledge, virtue, and faith.. It says that if we follow this pattern of living we will be "effective and fruitful"! If we dont.. we will be blind. This was a really cool reminder to me. I am very thankful that I followed through and went ahead and checked out 2 Peter. God is so good!
Today was the beginning of my 3rd week "on the floor". So far, the services I've given to clients include: 2 men's haircuts, 2 short women's haircuts, 2 graduated bob's, a partial foil, a color retouch, and several waxes. I'm getting more and more comfortable consulting with clients and having a lot of fun! I've also made $14 in tips so far! :)
Carson just scheduled his Spring classes last week. While the advisor at school wasn't much help, the built-in advisor at home (me!) helped a ton! Basically we (and by we, I mostly mean me :) ) figured out a great schedule for him. He will be going to school only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! Even better, Carson will be home by 12:30 or 1! He will have time for homework, working out, playing guitar, etc. and then by the time I get home, we'll be able to spend the evening together! He will be working on the days that he's not going to school. I think that this will help him to feel like he has more time and he won't have to do school and work all in one day! I'm excited for him to start this new schedule!
With Thanksgiving drawing near, and Christmas close behind.. Carson and I both are getting anxious to make a trip to MD to visit with my family!
Love you all!
