Song for today

There are so many thing’s that are going on in the lives of those around me and in my own life. This song rang true and comforted my heart. When chaos and trials enter and plaugue our lives, let’s cry out to Jesus!

“Cry Out To Jesus”

To everyone who’ lost someone they love

Long before it was their time

You feel like the days you had were not enough

when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains

Keeping you back from your life

You believe that there’s nothing and there is no one

Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless

Rest for the weary

Love for the broken heart

There is grace and forgiveness

Mercy and healing

He’ll meet you wherever you are

Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that’s struggling hust to hang on

They lost all of their faith in love

They’ve done all they can to make it right again

Still it’s not enough

For the ones who can’t break the addictions and chains

You try to give up but you come back again

Just remember that you’re not alone in your shame

And your suffering

When you lonely

And it feels like the whole world is falling on you

You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus

To The widow who suffers from being alone

Wiping the tears from her eyes

For the children around the world without a home

Say a prayer tonight

Cry to Jesus

 

Longing to run away and rest in the arms of my Savior! Find a place today and just sit quietly with the Lord. Pour your heart out to Him. Cry to Jesus. He Loves you.

 

 

Date Night

I just love Date Nights! last night I was able to hang out with JadieBug –something I always enjoy. We went to Prayer Mountain. It’s a super special place to me.  It’s somewhere I love and think is beautiful and it’s also where James proposed to me. We took pictures–sort of like a re-enactment–of when James proposed! It was fun 🙂 We got to go in the 24/7 prayer room (I can stay there for hours…and we did) and read, prayed, took communion and shared our hearts to the Lord. It was sweet. We sat on the bench and overlooked the DFW area and just talked about thing’s we love. It was great. I have this relationship with Jade that I believe the Lord has allowed me to have and boy-O-boy am I blessed.

Here’s a picture of us sitting on the bench looking out at the beauty of Texas.

And here’s our view…

I sure am going to miss this place, but most of all I’m going to miss my JadieBug! The Lord is doing and is going to continue to do great thing’s in and through her. I’m glad to be a stepping stone in her life. Shine JadieBug, Shine!

I want to be…

I was thinking about the big change that’s going to be taking place in my life and thought of all the opportunities of thing’s I get to be in marriage. I have the greatest potential to be all these thing’s to James. I get to be a best friend,  advice giver,  lover, support, helper, chef, homemaker, future mommy to our kids and so much more. I, In Christ have great potential to be all these thing’s. And I desire to be.

I want to be what Jonathan was to David, What Boaz was to Ruth, What Esther was for her people, what Paul was for the unsaved and what Jesus is to me. I want to be all these thing’s in our marriage. I know I have some big shoes to fill (spiritually speaking) And it was no easy road for any of the examples I listed. But, In and through Christ All thing’s are possible.

Longing for more than what I have to give.

A little piece of me

I was just browsing through some pictures on my phone and ran into these little faces.

joshy

bug

These kids have made such an impact in my life. I love them all very deeply and am not only there Auntie, But their friend (Joshy)! I am so blessed to have the love of each one of them. They make me laugh, make me feel loved and are little pieces of me. I see some part of myself in each one of them. I have the love of a great family. If there is anything I need more , it’s their love. Which I know I have! And for that I am grateful. I sure am going to miss these little faces. They seriously bring joy to my life!!!

I love you my Bean, Joshy and JadieBug!

Isn’t she lovely

This little girl fills my heart with joy. I love her to pieces. She makes me laugh too.

faith

 

Faith and I were hangin’ out yesterday Evening. She loves pictures, Which is great because I love taking them. She says “picture” and then makes a little clicky sound. She also says “I love it!” I seriously love this little girl. She makes me so happy after a hard day at work. It was nice to just sit with her and sing together.

Also, I would appreciate it if you would pray for her. She may have to have surgery on the back of her skull to cover up a soft spot. Which involves removing a part of her rib to do so. We are praying for a miracle! And are trusting the Lord has everything under control. Please join us as we pray everyday for this little girl. Because ” The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16

Love like it’s your last day to love.

One of the best Birthday’s EVER!

It was one of the best days! Not, because it was my Birthday and Fathers Day. But, Because It was my first Birthday with James. And boy-O-boy did he spoil me. Although he assured me “Babe, you know your not going to get an iphone every birthday!” I nodded gave a “uh-huh” and smiled, because frankly that’s what I do when I’m caught up in something. My lovely Fiance not only surprised me for my Birthday, but he went all out.

On Saturday morning he picked me up at my sisters house. With a Yankee candle bag in hand (He knows I love candles). He patiently waited while I put my make-up on. Then ushered me to sit down at the dining room table. I opened my present to find three wrapped items. Two were candles that I love and the other was my Chanel Coco Mademoiselle! I’ve wanted this perfume for years. I felt like Mary with her fragrance. It was precious to me. I hugged and kissed James and said “This is my special occasions perfume.” Then I sprayed some on. Because any day with James is a special occasion.

We then headed out to lunch at one of my fav. Italian Cafe. Walked around Uptown Village and enjoyed each others company. Then he surprised me again! He said let’s go to the AT&T store! I about flipped out, But I kept my cool, of course. It was like Christmas too! We went into the store and it was like everyone knew we were in love, about to get married in a month and it was my Birthday! We both got our iphones and cases, so we know that I have the pink one and James has the green one. I entered his name first in my contact list! And we went on having one of the best days!

Later that night I had planned a little picnic dinner. We went to the park at 8pm, because that’s when it’s a bit cooler out and the sunset is gorgeous. It doesn’t get totally dark until 9:30pm. Which is pretty cool! We enjoyed a nice evening listening to some of our fav. tunes on our new toy. And enjoying each others company.

Thanks babe for such a great Birthday’s eve and Birthday! The greatest gift was spending it with you. I am so incredibly blessed to have you in my life. I love you forever and I’ll like you for always! Thank you for being Christ to me!

Happy Monday! I hope you all have a blessed day 🙂

These are a few of my favorite things

I can’t help but to break into a little Julie Andrews.. c’mon you know it popped into your head too! So, I was thinking about a movie I saw recently that I fell in love with. Seriously, I cried. I thought it was well written. I wanted to do a post on it, but thought I should liven it up a little. So, I am going to post a few of my favorite thing’s. From movies, songs,perfumes, dessert,picture and a few other thing’s that I can think up. This is pretty much going to be a fun post. Well, because it’s Friday! Who needs a reason to have fun on Friday! Certainly, not I! Here she goes…

Since the birth of this post started with a movie

I’ll post that “UP”  first

up

Seriously, this movie had such a great message. I loved the reality of it. And yes, I cried and glanced over at James on all of the emotional, gushy parts. You should watch it!

 

A song (Give me your eyes), well, an artist that I’ve been listening to and have enjoyed is this guy

bheath

Brandon Heath is an amazing singer and songwriter. I have enjoyed listening to his CD on replay on my drive to work. It sobers your mind and has such a Christ-centred harmony. I love it!

 

A book I’ve been reading, off and on has convicted and pushed me in powerful ways.

TFC

Richard and Sabrina Wurmbrand spent years in underground prison cells. Their story is amazing and should cause anyone who reads it to action! A must read.

 

Ok, off of the deep, more profound stuff and onto a something that all of us need. Yes, we need Ice Cream to survive. Which is why I tell you about this

B&J

OMGosh! I love this stuff. They come in little mini containers that are only 100 calories! Sad story, I’ve been sick and I bought some the other day and couldn’t enjoy it. My taste buds we’re gone. It was not a happy day. No sir, it was not. But, try it out. I promise you’ll get addicted!

 

So, there’s this perfume I sort of kind of love. If you know me, you know I love perfume.

coco

I’ve always wanted this perfume, but have never been able to afford it. Maybe someday (hint hint) or some birthday, I’ll be able to get it. I sure do love me some coco!

 

what would this list be if it didn’t have something from Apple. Which brings me to the…

apple

I seriously think this is such a cool phone. All the cool kids have one. Well, I was never a cool kid and never believed in conforming. But it sure is nice to look at. It has some cool Aps. too. I would SO get a white one! I’d be uber cool then.

 

And last but not least, If not the most important thing.  I love this man…

manofmydreams

I’m totally going to brag! I have the most sensitive, loving and patient man. And last night he proved that to me once again. I was home by myself ( I hate being home alone–especially when it’s dark) And i totally had a panic attack. I was freaking out. I kept  on thinking someone is going to come in here and kill me. Seriously, I have a very vivid imagination. I was planning the whole thing out. My poor Fiance is sick and needs to get up at 5am the next morning. It’s rolling around to about 10:45pm! I’m hysterical and crying and telling him I love you as if it will be the last time i say it. All the while he is telling me it’s going to be okay, guardian angels are watching over me, Jesus is watching over me, how he wishes he was there to hold me and protect me and he prayed for me. Yes, he’s great! I love you baby!

So, there you have it. Just a little Friday Frenzy of Fun Fantastic Finds!

September 26th to July 25th!

On September 26th at about 4pm I had my first conversation with the man who won my heart.

On July 25th at about 4pm I will say “I DO!” to that very same man.

sweet ❤

Verse for the day!

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

We serve a merciful and just God. Amen!

It’s a Bunt cake- a what-A.Bunt.Cake?! Part 2

So if you remember THISpost. I wanted a certain cake. Well I called the bakery and asked how much the cake would cost? And, well, let’s just say they blew my socks off. I went on a cake search, again. And found this little jewel…

thecake!

I think it is quite delightful and very pretty. I called the lady who created this beaut  and scheduled an appointment. My faithful friend Lindsey and I Trekked out to the middle of Holtom City (Makes me think of Gotham City) and met with this lovely lady, who bought us coffee! She’s already won a place in my heart 🙂 It all worked out GREAT! She was a big help. I’m actually getting more than just this cake. I’m getting a Groom’s cake, flowers for the bridal party, me, parents and a little decor for the church. She was sent from above. The Lord is good.

I’m calling her today to finalize everything and take some more steps closer to being done with wedding planning. It’s a good thing, because I’m SO over it. I can’t wait to marry James in 45 days!!! Praise the Lord for His faithfulness and provision.

Happy Wednesday!!!

I’m looking forward to digging into the word at church tonight. Hope you are too!
