Christopher Coleman Story

This brought tears to my eyes! Please Watch!



God creates each of us for a specific, purposeful plan. He does not make mistakes.

The greatest thing in life is when God uses us in our weakness to show the world His glory. What a privilege and joy to be able to be used by Him! 

A Date With Jesus

I just had the most wonderful afternoon.

After work, I decided that it was too nice out to be inside.

So I went to a park

It was a perfect place for a date...

with Jesus

We sat on a bench by the water,

and simply spent time together

We talked.

He listened

I listened

I love to hear Him speak

We walked together

He comforted me

We even had lunch :)

It was a perfect afternoon with my best friend

"The Lord is my shepherd;
      I have all that I need.
 He lets me rest in green meadows;
      he leads me beside peaceful streams.
    He renews my strength."

~Psalm 23:1-3

distracted

I feel like I have been a little 'out of it' when it comes to the blog world. It's not necessarily a lack of interest, time, or thoughts...instead...


I feel like I am being bombarded with distractions.


I may open my computer with the intention of accomplishing one thing ( say... a blog post, or some homework ) , but somehow I end up doing something 5 other things completely different than what I had planned.  

For example,

Facebook, blogger, pinterest, stumble-upon, my three different e-mails, youtube, google, etc...

Is anyone with me?? 

We live in a world full of distractions

The word distract literally means

1. To cause to turn away from the original focus of attention or interest; divert. Ok, so here's the scoop. Often times, what we are distracted by are not necessarily bad things. However, I think we focus too much on the distraction, then what we are being distracted from. "...The original focus of attention..." Honestly, I started this post with no intention of it being about God...but I think I have been distracted myself.  What am I distracted from? My original focus of attention for my life is to point people to Jesus Christ. When I am not doing this...I am being distracted.  I truly believe that one of Satan's biggest tactics is to keep us busy and distracted. If we don't focus our attention on God...we will not live our lives for God...and we will not point people to Jesus.  Just like I can spend hours clicking an endless number of links on an endless number of Internet sites... Our days, weeks, and months can too easily become a link of distractions keeping us from our original focus of attention.

Thoughts on a Thursday

It's windy outside

My first crock pot meal is cooking away

The dishwasher is running

My prince is coming home early tonight

homework can wait

We might go for a walk

Or just stay inside

My toes are cold

I think we will stay inside :)

I like being married

"As we live in Christ, our love grows more perfect" 

1 John 4:21

I Am Second

food, friends, family, football

My weekend was

 filled with food, friends, family, and football

(say that 10 times really fast :)) 

Friday,

we went to the restaurant "Hell's Kitchen" with some friends!

It was quite an interesting place...but the food was yummy!

The menu told me my sandwich was on of the "best 50 sandwiches in America!" 

We were ready to eat!

Saturday,

We had another fun couple over for dinner.

We made our own individual pizzas!

I must say...they were quite delish.

dessert is a must!

My prince wanted to register for this game because he thought it had a funny name. haha.

We played, and it was actually pretty fun? 

Sunday,

We got together with family for lunch and football.

I brought some peanut butter cookies!

and forgot to take pictures of the yummy food :(

But got some with my cute nieces!

hehe

I will not even mention how disappointing the Vikings are. Nope. 

(but I still like to wear my sparkly pink Peterson jersey)

:)

My prince and I are going to end the night with some Cribbage...yes we are that cool.

Here's to another week! 

p.s

(still working on thank you cards)

How long did it take you?? Any advice??

with some help...

Today I am facing procrastination head on.

With the help of my much loved Keurig

and my weird new obsession of Cinnamon graham crackers...

I am writing my thank you cards for the wedding.

yes, you should be cheering. 

This is a big deal.

:)
