Facing The Giants Sermon at church.

This past Sunday the pastor at my church preached on David and Goliath. He explained how David defeated the Giant with only one stone because he had God in his life. That morning I was debating on whether to go to church or not, but something inside me told me to go and I'm glad I did. I have been having a lot of struggles lately, and lots of Giants. This sermon helped me because now I realize all the Giants I have can be defeated because Ive got God on my side, and as long as I trust in God and pray those giants will be defeated.

Since then I have been less depressed, and a lot happier.One of the Giants got one of my good friends really mad at me. He had given me a REALLY good talk and I listened and absorbed it all, but I kept getting more depressed and more depressed. He hasn't talked to me in a few weeks, and probably wont for a long time. He has changed me so much into my old self. He don't realize how much he helped me, and he's a GREAT Friend to talk too because he listens so good and he tells me the truth. I don't think he's actually my friend anymore, but I pray every night that he will forgive me completely. I know it will take time and space for us to be friends again. I regret what I did and he may never talk to me again. I hope he will because Ive got so much exciting news to share with him. I've got a lot of good things going right and I feel so lucky to have such GREAT Family and friends. Some days are tougher than others especially with not being able to talk to him. I know God has his plans and everything will workout just how its suppose to.

A movie that is very inspirational and deals with this post is Facing The Giants.
In it, it is always saying what is impossible with God and they always say nothing is impossible with God. With God all things are possible is my favorite verse.



There is a song Id like to share too. It is one of my favorites.

Update!

Friday I had my Gallbladder taken out, and everything went well. They did keep me for a night, I was in a lot of pain and was able to come home today. I'm still pretty sore, but not as bad as the first night. I'm blessed with the best family and friends ever. Prayers really do help, and I had several people praying for me. I'll be stuck at the house for a week now, but hopefully the week will go fast.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has prayed for me, and has been there for me through my surgery, and after my surgery. I'll be getting caught up with my blog posts, so come back often for new reviews and giveaways!

Prayers needed!!

I have been going to a Christian Counselor who has helped me a lot with all of the struggles I have been helping. One of the verses he has told me is Roman 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." He brought this verse up because I had something happen in my life that I blame it on my fault. God knows it wasn't my fault, and it has helped me so much. I'm still a long way from recovering completely, but I know God is here with me through these trials.

I am also participating in a Beth Moore bible study along with Laura from sweetlifewithboys.

Tomorrow I will be having my Gallbladder taken out. Please say a prayer for me that this will make me feel better.

A song I would like to share with you all today is: Laura Story Blessings!

Best Friends!

I think I've lost my best friend because of stuff I said to her. I really didn't mean to say all the stuff I did to her. She's the best friend Ive ever had, but she wont talk to me now. She was there for me when I was in hospital a few weeks ago, and Shes always there for me when nobody else is. We've had our bad times like all friends, but this is the worst we've ever fought. We've had our good times too. All the times we've went to Target and Walmart and just walked around the store for hours talking. I tell her everything and she tells me everything.

We have been friends for a long time, and it hurts me I hurt her like I did. I really didn't mean it. I just want her to forgive me for all the things I said to her that hurt her. I havent been the Christian I should lately. I've really started being a lousy person. I realize "With God all things are Possible." Even if there's a hard time God is always there for us. Crystal I really am sorry if you read this. I'm sure we will have worse fights than this, but this one has really hurt me, and I know its hurt you.

I hope you will enter the gourmet gift basket giveaway.

Please come back to look for more cool reviews and giveaways!!

Gourmet Giftbasket review/giveaway!!

I have done several reviews/giveaway for Gourmet Giftbaskets. I love doing reviews/giveaways for them. I love their products. This time I was able to review The Midnight Snack Care Package for Gourmet Gift Basket.
When I received mine I was so excited. It has lots of goodies in it, and would be perfect to send your college Student this fall when they go away for college.



The Midnight Snack Care Package includes:Ingredients:
· Chef Boyardee Microwavable Bowls by Con Agra Foods - 7.5 oz. - Perfect for that late night meal, these microwavable bowls are ready in seconds.
· Easy Mac Microwavable Macaroni and Cheese Dinner by Kraft - 2.05 oz. - Is there anything better than a warm bowl of Mac N' Cheese....at Midnight? We didn't think so!
· Orville Redenbacher Smart Pop by Con Agra Foods - 2.9 oz. - Your always just a few pops away from a great snack, and no one does it better than Orville Redenbacher.
· Rice Krispies Treats by Kellogg's - 1.3 oz. - A classic treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner...And those Midnight snacks!
· Oreo's by Nabisco - 2 oz. - Add a glass of milk to this classic sandwich cookie and the fireworks instantly go off in your head!
· Dorito's Nacho Cheese Flavor by Frito Lay - 1 oz. - Cheesy, crunchy and great for that late night snack.
· Cheddar and Bacon Potato Skins by T.G.I.Friday's - 1 oz. - It's hard to provide fresh baked potatoes, cheese and bacon but T.G.I. Friday's has certainly done a amazing job of capturing the flavor with these snacks.
· Cheese Crackers with Peanut Butter filling by Austin - 1.38 oz. - Is there a better fit for our Midnight Snack care package? Peanut butter crackers are always yummy.
· Cheddar Cheese Pretzel Combos by Mars - 1.8 oz. - Crunchy oven baked pretzels with a creamy cheddar cheese flavored filling!
· Cheez-Its by Sunshine - 1.5 oz. - Grabbing a handful at a time at midnight is somewhat the norm...so we just had to make it a part of our Midnight Snack care package!
· Traditional Chex Mix by General Mills - 1.75 oz. - An unbeatable snack combination that has been around for years. Everyone has their own recipe but this is what started it all!
· Yoo-Hoo Chocolate Drink by Yoo-Hoo - 6.5 oz. - You definitely need a drink option with all these great snacks, and a chocolate drink with this type of flavor was the best fit.
· Pringles Snack Stacks by Procter & Gamble - .74 oz. - Pringles have long been the snack that you just can't stop eating, so we thought it was a great addition to this and other college care packages in our collection.
· Snyder's Pretzels by Snyder's of Hanover - 1.5 oz. - When you send a care package it's important to include pretzels and Snyder's pretzels are known for their superior taste and crunch.

Graduation!!

One of my younger brothers graduate this Friday night. It's hard to believe he is old enough to graduate.
It's really hard to believe that it's been two years since I graduated. It really doesnt seem like it's been that long.
Sometimes I wish I could go back a few years and make wiser decisions. There are days I think it could've turned out a lot worse.
I am so lucky to have the friends and family I do.
Recently I have meet an amazing guy who is just my friend and is there for me through everything. I hope one day we might be more than friends.

Busy

I'm finally done with spring semester, so I'm hoping to be able
To finally get some reviews and giveaways up before Summer.
I have been really busy lately with work and everything That I'm
Hardly even home much anymore. I got an iPhone and I am able
To do posts with it, so it will be a lot easier for me to get my posts
Up. I cannot believe I haven't wrote anything on my blog since Easter.
A lot has went on since Easter.
I decided back in April to start smoking . I smoked for 2 weeks and then
Ended up having to be taking to the emergency room because I felt like
I couldn't breath. To find out I had bronchitis. Needless to say I will
Never smoke again. It's the worst habit ever and even though it does lower
Stress for a little while, its not worth it. There are lots of other activities that can also
Help lower stress. I love to get in the hot tub at work right after I get off work, it's so
Relaxing.

My God is Mighty to Save!

Last night my 16 year old cousin Corey got saved. I have been praying about this for a long time. I love my family, and when I heard about this I had tears in my eyes(Happy tears of course). My God is Mighty to Save. God can get us through some of the toughest times, and he is always there for us. If we just put our lives in the hands of the Lord he will get us where we need to be. I didn't realize that I haven't been doing that. I have been prayer for what I want not for what God wants for me.


Here is the youtube video for "Mighty to Save" singing is Newsboys.

I am Strong!

I have been really busy lately. This week is Spring Break and have been busier than I wanted to be. I have several great Reviews and giveaways to put up shortly.
My job and Anatomy class has kept me majorly busy.

I saw a youtube video on a Teachers Facebook that teaches at our local Elementary school. The Song is called "I am Strong." This song brought tears to my eyes. Once you listen to it you will realize that nobody how many struggles and trials you have, cancer kids have even more struggles and trials. When I listened to this song for the first time today.I thought here lately I have been complaining and thinking what if. Once I heard this song I thought I may have struggles and trials, but there are kids out there hurting and they don't deserve that.

My all time dream is to become a Pediatric Oncologist. I'm just not sure if I am Strong enough to see children go through a struggle that big.

Here is the YouTube Video called "I am Strong." by
The Grascals with Dolly Parton.

Review of The American Patriot's Almanac!


I recieved a copy of The American Patriot's Almanac by William J Bennett and John T.E. Cribb from Book Sneeze. My eighteen year old brother is really in to history and things that deal with history, so I gave this book to him after I read it.

The American Patriot's Almanac has 365 entries. YOu can read one a day or several a day. I read several a day, and this is a very good book especially for people who like History books.

I give this book FIVE Stars! There are lots of information in this book and I highly recomend it. I love where they include a "This Day in History" for each day!

You can buy this book at Amazon.com or other bookstores.

I won't let go!

I finally got a new laptop and will try to blog more. I am taking an anatomy class that is taking all of my time. I have had to work a lot more lately also.

Lately it has been a sad time in our community. One of my friends Grandfather passed away on Friday! He was very close to him. Please pray for the family. The Last few weeks I have gotten close to some of his family, and I hate to see them hurt like they are right now.

Rascal Flatts came out with a new song! I Won't let you go.
I will stand by you
I will help you through
When you’ve done all you can do
And you can’t cope
I will dry your eyes
I will fight your fight
I will hold you tight

I just want him to know that I will Stand by him through all of this. I get tears in my eyes every time I hear this song, because I think of him and his family.

Here is the video for "I Won't Let you Go"

Prayer!

I was invited to class at the Church I work at for us young Adults. There are three of us in it and we range from 17-21. This other girl and I have never taken a Confirmation Class. Usually those classes are taken when your in 5th or 6th grade. Well me and the other girl didn't ever have the chance to take it. I have always went to a baptist church and we never did it there, and my home church is still a Baptist Church.

The other girl took the class when she was younger, but is taking it with us again. I thought I would give the class a Try!
Last night we talked about Prayer and about meaningless prayer. It was very inspirational to me.

The thing that caught my attention the most is when he said don't tell go God what you want, ask God to give you what he wants you to have.
This relates to me in so many ways, but there is one particular way it relates to me. Now I know to tell God that there is this person I want in my life, but only if you want to put the person in my life. God knows whats best for me, so I just be patient and let God lead and Guide me where I need to go!

Next week we will talk about something different. I am glad I took the class. It was very inspirational, and I actually learned from it.

Thursday, January 27, 2011

I always like to post a YouTube video that shows my mood for the day or week.
The video I choose today is Are you gonna Kiss me or not? By Thompson Square.

About Green Smart:
"After making bags since 1995 in the same manner as every other supplier in the world under the brand name Shoreline, with the same basic materials available at that at time, we decided to take a fresh look at aligning the ethical social practices of our Company with ethical product materials and manufacturing practices. As the specifiers of everything that goes into every product we made, we chose to hold ourselves accountable for the actions of our suppliers working on our behalf and for the consumers who did not know any better when they purchased our products. That was 2006."

"From that period forward we began the transformational process of replacing product materials with eco-conscious materials, teaching our retail customers about the materials, phasing out existing products and materials. What we did was nothing short of a do-over. Within 30 months, we had converted our supply chain to greener processes, greener materials and greener thinking."

"We are just beginning. Our primary objective with every product and material we make or use is eco-progress. There is no eco-perfect and we are not perfect either. We plan to continue to improve. We started with our practical usage of rPET polyester derived from the recycling of PET water and soda bottles, and in 2009 our introduction of neogreene, neoprene reinvented. We think there is no limit as to the ways GreenSmart may be able to bring greener choices to you. We can barely wait to see what is next."

Green Smart has everything from Laptop Sleeves, MacBook Sleeves,Back Packs, Messenger bags, Lunch, Bottle Koozies, and Wine Totes.

90th Birthday!

My great Grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday on January 1st. We had a party/dinner for her. I am blessed to have such good family.

Here is a picture of my great grandmother with a few of the great grandchildren and two of the great-great grand children.

Always!

I haven't been on since Christmas. Overall I had a Pretty Great Christmas. I am so behind with blogging. I have a lot of GOOD reviews and Giveaways to post. My laptop crashed, and all my information and things I needed was on there! Also, I had a scare the other night and thought it was with my appendix, but to find out it was only a UTI and virus.

I thought of this song today called "Always" by Building 429. God is with us ALWAYS. Even when we may have problems. This is a very INSPIRATIONAL Song.
