Treasure Hunting




I went yard selling today. One of the best treasures I found was this frame for my rooster picture.

I'm going to paint it and get a mat for it, but I'm so happy to finally find something.

My other option was to have a frame custom made and that. is. not. cheap! (this frame is almost 4 feet)

I'll post after pics when I'm finished!

Test


I'm testing this from my new iphone 4! I switched to Verizon-which meant upgrade for me!

This is what I've been doing all week.....





They aren't mine, just keeping them for a friend.

Bad Blogger

I have been such a bad blogger recently.  I was doing so good and then the tornado events happened and it seems like everything got crazy after that. 

But hopefully I'll get back in the swing of things shortly!

Just an Update

I mentioned our Easter Carnival and egg drop that we were having this weekend in my last post.  We were planning/hoping for 1,000 and ended up having between 5,000-6,000!

It was way more people than we ever anticipated but everything went great!


We dropped 15,000 eggs from the helicopter.


We also had 4 Easter Services and had 1,077 people there (we are a 7 month old church plant, so this is way more than we thought)!  God is good!
**Numbers aren't everything, but it does typically reflect the amount of lives that are being changed.

Weight Loss Challenge Week 3


I've done really well this week even though the scale didn't really show it as much.  I'm hoping it is going to all catch up at one time and I'll have a big number loss.  Also hoping I'm gaining muscle while losing some F.A.T.!

This week:  down 1.7lbs
Total:  -5lbs

A drug rep brought us these today......


The fact that they have been here for about 30 mins and I haven't indulged myself yet, is a big accomplishment in my opinion ;)  I don't think I will last much longer.


Tonight I am going to a simulcast for "Secret Church."  You can read more about it here.  It's at The Church of Brookhills here in Birmingham, but it has gotten so big that they are doing the simulcast so that more people can participate. 

This is an excerpt from the website. I thought it was pretty convicting.

"Right now, around the world, millions of Christ-followers are meeting in secret places, worshiping in hiding, practicing their faith behind closed doors. If exposed, they face prison, torture, even death. Yet their devotion to God and His Word are unwavering, even heroic. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ. We must learn to take our God as seriously as they do."

I'm really looking forward to it but also know that it lasts for up to 6 hours.  Usually it isn't over until midnight.  The fact that I'm even debating if I'll be able to make it until it's over shows how much I take for granted that I can openly learn and share God's word.

Tomorrow our church is hosting a FREE Easter Carnival.  I know some of you are from the Birmingham/Cullman area so I thought I would extend the invitation.  It's at the Cullman Fairgrounds.
I'll be there, but unfortunetly I've never met most of you so I will have no idea if you are there or not :)



This is an old ad, it is now at the fairgrounds and not Depot Park. 

Happy Easter!

Weight Loss Challenge Week 2

As of this morning, I have lost 3.3lbs this week.  Even though I would love for it to be more like 10lbs :)  I'm pretty excited about it. 

Especially since we had small group at my house this week and one of the girls left this......


 "Sugar cookie flavored ice cream with a big blue icing swirl and colored buttercream freckles."

My ultimate weakness= white birthday cake with icecream, so I knew I was in trouble with this.  I ended up having to melt the remaining ice cream in the sink.  That was hard because it is soooo good.

My goal has been to do some type of physical activity everyday this week. Monday and Thursdays are Bootcamp.  So I'm trying to add something on the other days. 
We recently got one of these.  It is actually a better work out than I thought it would be.


3 down, 17 more to go :/
