Thoughtful Thursday--Life Lessons from Mosquito Coast

Mom picked up a movie from the library the other day (I'm so glad they've gone back to loaning them for free) and we watched it night before last. We had seen it before, but that was a long time ago, and I felt like I hadn't really liked it, but couldn't remember why. It all came back to me when I started watching it.

As long as You're glorified

I'm lovin' this song again...

Enjoy!

Thoughtful Thursday--Courageous

I saw this movie last night and it was on my mind a lot today. Just processing the different situations and issues that were touched on. What a great way they handled such an important message! To me, the movie was top-quality, the acting was great, the story incredible and the message eternal. Hopefully it makes you thoughtful. Please take a couple minutes to watch the trailer for "Courageous".

Thoughtful Thursday--I'm 27!

Last Monday, January 16th, I turned 27. 

It is a strange thing, feeling that I have that many years of experience under my belt, and yet that those years of experience do not add up to much. I feel like I have just begun gathering wisdom. That all the years I've lived have been spent 'growing up' and now learning wisdom is the new phase I'm entering.

The Kitchen is Clean...

I delivered the last of my cake orders this afternoon.

Sure, it's a lot of work, the planning, the mixing, baking and decorating. 

But there's something I just love about it. And when the cake is eaten and the kitchen is clean, I am bereft.

Special Music

Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of our church, Simple Truth Bible Fellowship. As a part of the celebration, Blane Jr. had the idea for us to do this song. Daniel and I were the 'guest wretch' and 'wretched sister'. : )

Plus, he did a special birthday song for our music leader, Philip and me.

Birthday song

Thanks so much Brothers! : )

Thoughtful Thursday-- Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead

No, I'm not describing myself. But that is the title of a documentary I watched just recently. It was so inspiring, I went 5 days without eating. Yep, that's right. 

A whole work week with no food.

Thoughtful Thursday--A To-Do List for 2012

Because of the success of last years goals, I am making a list for this year. And yes, I do consider last year a success, because I did accomplish half of my list. : )

This year's goals are not big ones, but they are important to me, nonetheless.

Captivated

As a *delayed* follow up to my Thoughtful Thursday post "Technically Fed-up", this documentary looks right on time. Take a look!

Thoughtful Thursday--Looking Back

Before I post a list of things I'd like to accomplish in 2012, let's take a look back at my list from last year and cross off what I was able to do.

Thoughtful Thursday--Return

"Too much beauty around us for just two eyes to see"

"Get away from it all". The last thing I said 6 weeks ago.

Now when I said that, I didn't intend for it to really happen. But, like they always say, "Be careful what you ask for."
