Be Color

be the pink flamingo on the great lawn of life. 

Be the sparkle in their eye. 

Be the color in a wold of black and white.

Pray for our Troops

Today the front page of the newspaper had a soldier and little iraqi girl holding hands in a picture. It was precious and really touched me. Please take this time to pray for all our troops over seas and about to go over seas.

Thanks!

Give Yourself UP...to God

Usually we think of the word Surrender as a bad word or something for the weak. Today I realized it's quite the opposite. To actually surrender your life to God is very hard.Only the strong can do it. It even hurts a bit to let go of control and just give it up to God. Today I dealt with a situation that was totally out of my hands and i just had to say, "you know what God, I'm giving this one to you" and through that he blessed me. I went to the worship service with an open heart and open mind and I could feel God's presence it was ridiculous. usually im like...pshh, all those people that say the "feel God" are just lunatics or some kinda "spiritualists"  but i REALLY did FEEL God. It was like he was standing right next to me holding me. I surrendered my problem to him and things just seemed to be ok for the time. 

Bye and Bye

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SAY: "bye and bye" or "by and by" or "Buy and Buy"? Which is it and WHAT does it mean????!! 

Mark 8:36

So today I was watching the Hannah Montana concert and I was thinking ... I cant imagine what it must be like to have little kids everywhere adore you. She walked down the stage like she was just on top of the world. so, picture this...you've got your microphone in your hand with lil' girls screaming in adoration at your feet. it must be crazy to see your face all over wal-mart and on girls shirts and everywhere. It'd be like, no matter what kinda of crappy day you've had or how poorly a boy treated you it all didnt matter because, psh. . . ur "Hannah Montana" and the world love you. But, according to Mark 8:36 "What good is it if a man gains the world but loses his soul". The "Message" version says it this way: What would it do you to get everything you have ever wanted but to lose the real you. " Sometimes we forget that who  we are is good enough even if the world doesnt know our name or little kid's clothes don't bear your face. The God of the whole universe seems to think your worth dyeing for. And seriously...who would die for Hannah Montana? ? not me. 

Next time you feel like your not worthy or insignificant or maybe that some people have it so much better than you re-read that verse. It really puts things into prospective. 

I love ya'll!

Donna
