Outside my window... a humid 75 degrees.
 

I am thinking... that I will be tired in the morning since it's 2:26am and I'm not even feeling sleepy. 

 

I am thankful for... those in my life who challenge me spiritually.

 

From the learning rooms... don't even want to think about it.


From the kitchen... tonight we had homemade pizzas. YUMMY. Tomorrow probably gonna have hamburger helper. Not a favorite of everyone but I need to use the hamburger.


I am wearing... white v-neck tee and blue pj pants.


I am creating... two designs for upcoming cakes.


I am going... to take my ipod to bed in a few minutes and watch another episode of a korean drama before I go off to dreamland.


I am reading... LOTS of blogs.


I am hoping... that Mike can borrow someone's digital camera to take to Hungary so that I can stop fretting about it. AND that God will provide the finances for us to get a new digital camera in the near future.


I am hearing... Natalie Grant (Our Hope Endures) on my Youtube playlist AND the a/c running.


One of my favorite things... hearing the teens share about how God worked in them & through them on the Chicago mission trip.


Praying for... my neck- still hurting, my hands- still hurting, a friend's marriage, Mike (and others from church) who are going to Hungary this week, our finances, Steven Smith & family, 


A Lyric or Two... 
I Smile- Kirk Franklin (CLICK PLAY and then FOLLOW ALONG with the LYRICS!!!!!) You'll love it. :)

I dedicate this song to recession,
depression and unemployment.
This song’s for you.

Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.

Today’s a new day, but where are my blue skies.
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
tell me it’s alright.

(I’ll be honest with you)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain,
fell from heaven like a shower.
(When I think how much better I’m gonna be when this is over)

I smile, even though I hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile..
It’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.

(Now every day ain't gonna be perfect but it still don't mean today don't have purpose.)
Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
and it feels like a cold night.

Today’s a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies,
where is the love and the joy that you promised me
tell me it’s – alright.

(the truth is)
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
fell from heaven like a shower now.

 

I smile, even though I’m hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile.
It’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile.

Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.
Smile.. for me
Can you just smile… for me.

ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(and while your waiting)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(and while your praying)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(look in the mirror)
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
(always remember)
You look so much better when you smile

I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
fell from heaven like a shower now – right now.

I smile, even though I’m hurt see I smile,
I know God is working so I smile,
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile..
it’s so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile.
so smile.

ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
ohohoh, you look so much better when you
smile…

I just want you to be happy..
I want you to have joy ’cause can’t nobody
take that away from you.
I see you.. SMILE!!

A verse to share... ...apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5b
