Help bring home Lily

I have been reading Adrienne's blog for along time now, and recently they have been blessed with the opportunity to adopt again!!! It's been a long journey for them with miscarriages and failed adoptions but it looks like their miracle is about to happen!

If you feel lead to go check out her page and read up on their story. Any $ will help them come closer to bringing home their Lily!

I'm excited for them!

Town Hall for Hope

Yesterday I had to run out to the post office and I happen to catch Dave Ramsey's show on and he was talking about the Town Hall for Hope Event. I had TOTALLY forgotten about it, I had heard way back about it and my prego brain lost it somewhere... :-) Anyways, I hope you can either get to watch the event live on Fox Business channel on TV this evening or maybe even still attend the event in your area if they still have seats available! It is a FREE Event!

Here a little message from the site:

Town Hall for Hope

What is Town Hall for Hope?

"Town Hall for Hope is your opportunity to sit down with people in your community for a nationwide town hall meeting led by Dave Ramsey. Thousands of venues across the country will host the event, broadcasting Dave's live presentation. In the opening half hour, Dave will offer straight talk about the economy, recession, foreclosures and more. He'll carefully explain where we've come from, where we are now, and what we should be doing with our money during this time. Then, Dave will spend an hour answering your questions live!

We'll take questions by phone, email, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and more! Check out our Get Involved page to see all the ways in which you can join in the conversation! And remember, this is a free event!"

"Connect with families across the nation for a truly radical message: HOPE.
Tired of hearing the fear, doom and gloom that’s filling the airwaves? Join Dave Ramsey for a nationwide town hall meeting and discover what’s happening with the economy, how we got here, and where we’re going. Plus, Dave will answer your questions live throughout the event!
Join us for this free event April 23 at 8:00 p.m. EDT in one of the thousands of venues across the country as we stand together to reignite the fire of hope! Learn more. "


I was excited to see that our Fox Business channel will have it on live at 7 pm so I have it set to record! Share

From my Pastor:

I was over reading my Pastor's blog and was stuck by one of his recent posts:

"The world’s love is temporary and based upon feelings and circumstances. According to the world, love is something you can fall in and out of.This is not true of biblical love. The love that the Bible talks about is not dependent on feelings. Biblically love is defined as action. We see it described this way in 1 Corinthians 13.And the difference between worldly love and biblical love is highlighted when we read that love endures all things. Love knows no limit. Love never gives up.There is a real tenacity to genuine love. In fact, the word “endures” is a military term. It means to maintain an assault. Love remains steadfast under suffering, hardship, pain, loss, and loneliness. Love is determined to hold on.This is the kind of love typically referred in a marriage ceremony where the couple vows to love each other for better or for worse.Love endures all things."

True love..... Share

Perfect timing...

...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you...Philippians 4:8-9

The next in the series of ~Sense and Sensibility! from my Pastor's Wife:

Sense and Sensibility: Food and Exercise Share

Blah I'm bored...

Amazing how when you are forced to sit and stay off your feet you feel like you have a million things to do!

I’m trying to be a good girl and do as I'm suppose to and stay off my knee but its hard. :-)

I went to a chiropractor yesterday and she looked at my knee and pretty much determined that
I have some sort of knee cap injury. As to what, that will be determined by x-rays. She messed with it a bit and told me... "This will either make it a lot better or it will hurt really bad"... and I went home hurting more than it has in awhile. So I’m off it and icing it a lot to get the swelling down. I'm suppose to be seeing a doc soon to see what they say and what I should do.

So in the mean time I'm bored sitting here...(and by the way why is ice so stinkin cold?????) Only so much I you can do on the internet and then it gets blahhhhhhh! Guess I’m going to get to reading some more and get caught up on some books I have ordered of bookswap!

Just a few links to some sites I have been catchin up on and reading some good stuff!!!

Sense and Sensibility ~ by Roberta Blakey

And these links to ~ habit of the highly effective woman ~by girltalk!
1. Rises early
2. Maintains the spiritual disciplines
3. Focuses on relational priorities
4. Sets up regular times for planning
5. Develops and effective to-do list and calendar/planning system
6. Establishes an efficient routine for managing her home
7. Organizes her house systematically


Found this quote on I'm an Organizing Junkie
“Organizing is the gateway to your higher goal, such as to be able to get out the door faster in the morning or to be able to invite friends over with ease. Once you look beyond the piles and know why you want to get organized, you are suddenly motivated.”
Professional Organizer, Julie Morgenstern
