Day 24: Eye Watch

This is a picture of my eye. Eyes to me are mesmerizing. I am so thankful for my sight. I am so thankful for the ability to see. It's amazing to try and figure out everything God has created with such detail and how. Everything has a purpose. God created the world. God is amazing and I cannot even fathom the size of God and his capabilities to overcome all things. Thank you God for the world and everything you created within it, down to the amazing sunsets that you paint every single night. Thank you for creating each one of us, individually as humans, with different gifts and talents, only to do your will and to bring glory to your wonderful name. Thank you for who you are, and for everything you do for us. Thank you for your unfailing love.

"But who can teach a lesson to God, since He judges even the most powerful?"
Job 21:22

The way we respond to our daily struggles, shows our attitude towards God. Rather than becoming angry, turn to Him and trust Him in all situations. Although it may be difficult to see, God IS IN CONTROL.

Day 23: Worship=My Life

This right here is my life. GOD, God's House, Church Family, Worship, Music. Period. If I could do this everyday, all day long, I would. It's my love, my life, and everything I want...and truthfully, all I need. Theses pictures were from praise band rehearsal. Brandon was playing bass...I wanted a side perspective, a little clip, of what it looks like.

This doesn't do a justice, but it's my love, my life.



"If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of all humanity? Why make me your target? Am I a burden to you?'
Job 7:20

Job referred to God as a "watcher". We must never forget that God DOES watch over everything we do, but He does it with compassion and love, He is not our enemy, His eyes are eyes of love. Love God. Love Others.

Day 22: Crossroads

I love some random things. They are not in any particular order...

I love God.
I love my friends.
I love my family.
I love sharpies.
I love giving.
I love music.
I love pictures.
I love my camera.
I love my phone.
I love shoes.
I love coffee.
I love mac and cheese.
I love clothes.
I love bracelets.
I love the color blue.
I love dance.
I love worship.
I love one on one time.
I love sweatpants.
I love cake.
I love pasta.
I love shoelaces.
I love movies.
I love more....I'm just tired of listing them hah

This picture is a picture of the shoelaces on my inline skates. I haven't skated in a while. Anyways, I should get on that...

"Satan replied to the Lord "Yes, but Job has good reason to fear God. You have always put a wall of protection around him and his home and his property. You have made him prosper in everything he does Look how rich he is!"
Job 1:9-10

Satan attacked Job's motives saying the Job was blameless and had integrity only because he had no reason to turn against God. Satan wanted to prove that Job worshipped God not out of love but because God had given him so much. Sometimes we only praise God when things are going good, which should not be the case at all. Adversity strengthens our real faith by causing believers to dig their roots deeper into God in order to withstand storms.
It's a choice to rejoice!
Choose!

Day 21: Jesus

This is a bracelet I have. I love it, and it is a constant reminder everyday of just who I'm living for. No matter what the day brings, no matter what I'm going through, I am living for Him. He will use all things for the goodness of my heart, and He will carry me through it all.

"He said 'Listen all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says: Do not be afraid! Don't be discouraged by this mighty army, for the battle is not yours, but God's."
2 Chronicles 20:15

Every day we battle temptations, and pressure, and Satan. Satan wants us to rebel against God. We need to ask for God's help in all situations, and He will help us fight them. He will fight for us, and God always triumphs!

Day 20: As it was before...

Today is a picture of a picture! This is a picture of me and Malachi over the summer. I miss this boy. I haven't seen him in about 3 weeks or so. When I do see him at church on Sundays, he always comes up to me and hugs me after church, but I have to pick him up so he can lay his head on my shoulder...and then he tells me how much he misses me. Over the summer I was with him constantly, just about every day but then they went back to school and I rarely see them except at church every week. I miss him and his brother McKenna. Malachi is such a sweetheart. He would share all of his possessions with the world if he could. He would give me the shirt off of his back if I needed it. :) Love him.

"then hear from heaven where you love, and forgive. Give your people what their actions deserve, for you alone know each human heart."
2 Chronicles 6:30

Have you felt separated from God ever, separated by feelings of failure and personal problems?Solomon underscored the fact that God stands ready to hear his people, to forgive their sins, and to restore their relationship with Him. Don't wait to experience his love and forgiveness, He is waiting to hear us, and listen. Go to Him.

Day 19: Love

Today, I really didn't do much. I was suppose to go see my cousin that was down in Myrtle Beach with the kids but they got caught up in some stuff and decided that tomorrow would be better to see them. I guess everything happens for a reason...last night, I was pretty bummed after the basketball game and Keeks knew. God knows what situations need to be worked out when and He allows those situations to come about. So tonight I got to spend some time with her and her beautiful nieces and nephew. She had to babysit and apparently Anna Grace wanted me to come over and play princesses with her. She's so cute. That's where the pictures came from. Keeks was giving the girls a bath and I hung out with little Will. He's so cute. We watched the new Shrek movie, and we did eventually play princesses haha. Anna Grace insisted. Anything for her...she is so funny. At one point I looked and not one of the princesses had clothes on and I looked at Anna Grace and said "Anna Grace, why don't they have any clothes on?" and she picked up Ariel from the Little Mermaid and said "Whooaaaa! She's naked!" haha I busted out laughing and then of course Emma came over to see what was so funny and she started to laugh and then Keeks made her way over and we all were laughing....it was contagious. Anyways, good night and thankful for it.

"But will God really live on earth among people? Why, even the highest heavens cannot contain you. How much less this Temple I have built!"
2 Chronicles 6:18

Solomon was astonished that God would be willing to live on this earth among sinful people. We are amazed that God, through His son, Jesus Christ, lived among us in human form to reveal His eternal purposes to us. God was reaching out to us in love. God wants US to reach out to HIM in return to know Him and to love Him with all our hearts. Don't just simply be amazed at who He is, take the time to get to know Him!

Day 18: Basketball

Today, was a good day for the most part. I hung out with Keeks at the salon :) That always keeps a smile on my face. Well tonight I went to the Carolina Forest/Conway rival basketball game. THe biggest rival game in Horry County. It was a great game. It was as intense as sitting at the Coastal games, which was impressive. There was one player on the team that reminded me so much of Steven Sexton from Coastal. It was crazy. Carolina Forest won 80-59 against Conway. They had a scary moment in the game though. The Carolina Forest coach, just about passed out in the middle of game towards half time. I just remember watching the coach about black out as his family ran to see what was up. It was so hot in the gym, it was unbearable. That is a very scary moment for the family. I pray that he is ok. They took him out in the ambulance after the game, since he refused to leave the game during it.

You know those moments you have, when you feel like your heart is in your stomach? There is no bigger and greater word for a kid to hear from someone than "DISAPPOINTMENT". A parent can say I am mad at you, I am furious...I'm upset with you....but there's something about 'disappointment' that just hits you in the gut.....I don't know, I guess just something on my mind.

"The Lord lives! Praise to my rock! May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!"
2 Samuel 22:47

David praises God wholeheartedly. We must praise God in all situations, good and bad! Say thank you to Him! Focus your hearts on Him! Thank Him for his many gracious gifts to us! Thank Him for our relationship with Him!! God, Thank You for who You are and for everything You have given us!

"I will praise You in this storm!"

Day 17: Oldies

I was looking through all the records that my Dad has....memories of listening to all of them when I was little, were just rushing through my brain. It's crazy the way technology has progressed since I was little. A Tracks, to Records, to Tapes, to CDs, now to ipods and mp3 players...soon to be more. Music is my life and I have no idea how I would live my life without it!



"So David reigned over all Israel and did what was just and right for all his people"
2 Samuel 8:15

There is that saying that we all hear when we are little..."Treat others how you want to be treated". David was fair to all of his people including God, and everyone trusted him. If we all respected others and acted the way David did, we would all get along so much better.

Day 16: Light is shining....

The sky tonight was so awesome. There was rain in the distance and the light was shining through the clouds in some spots. That's always a reminder to me, that God shines the light in dark places, and God wants us to go out and shine our light in the darkness too. I didn't have my camera with me today, (go figure) so I threw my phone to the person in the passenger seat and told them to snap a shot. It was a moment I couldn't pass up...



Thank you God, for always giving me constant reminders of who You are and how big You are. I pray that in all circumstances, that we all will shine our light for the world to see, and to do Your will for us, to bring glory to your name.

"But be sure to fear the Lord and faithfully serve Him. Think of all the wonderful things He has done for you."
1 Samuel 12:24

Samuel reminded everyone to take time to remember all of the great things God had done for them. Sometimes we all get so caught up that we fail to take time to reflect on everything God has given us. Reflect on these things and get your focus and attention back on God's goodness.

Day 15: Keith Urban!

So 3 years ago, I played in the drumline for the Keith Urban concert in Charleston, South Carolina. It was probably one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. Well I was cleaning today, and I found my back stage pass from the concert. So that's my pic today! Enjoy!

"And she made this vow "O Lord of Heaven's Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you. He will be yours for his entire lifetime, and as a sign tht he has been dedicated to the Lord, his hair will never be cut."
1 Samuel 1:11

Fear God, He has the power to do anything. Be careful with what you promise to God. Hannah wanted a son so bad that she kind of pleaded with God and He took her up on it. God keeps His promises, keep yours to Him.

Day 14: Snookie!!

This picture.....something that made me smile.
Every time I get in my car, I see this note and it reminds me of the many memories that came from the Taste of Christmas this past year. These post it notes were from the Taste of Christmas, from Vickie. We left each other notes on our mirrors. Good times with great people sharing the love of God! What can be better than that!

Bible verse....
"What do you mean? What's the matter?" Micah replied. "You've taken away all the gods I have made, and my priest, and I have nothing left."
Judges 18:24

Our focus is so important. Sometimes we don't mean to, but we substitute God, with other things like careers, or money and what not. We need to focus on Him at all times, in the good and bad. Protect yourself from those things and focus all you are, on the living God, who we can NEVER lose!

Day 13: Boys!

After church, I came home and spent time with the boys. It's insane how big they are getting already. I feel like Cameron was JUST born and he's already up and trying to walk, following his brother around everywhere.

Trystin had his first excursion with ketchup today, it was pretty funny. Cameron is standing up more and more, he's going to be walking soon. He wants to be like his big brother.


"But if you refuse to serve the Lord, then chose today whom you will serve. Would you prefer the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates? Or will it be the gods of the Amorites in whose land you now live? But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord."
Joshua 24:15

We have a choice. "Rejoice in the Lord always!" It's so easy to be rebellious and go our own way in life, but we have to choose what will control our lives. Our circumstances do not determine our happiness! That is so huge for me, I have to meditate on that. We choose our perspective, our choices, our happiness, our joy! It's your choice!

Church was good today, the message was great. After church I was listening to this song, it's called "What To Do" by Demi Lovato...and the more I listened to the lyrics in the chorus, the more I felt like...on some days, that's what God looks down and says to me. lol

Chorus Lyrics:
You've got your way of speaking
Even the air you're breathin'
You could be anything
But you don't know what to believe in
You got the world before you
If I could only show you
That you don't know what to do

Tell me what to do, ooh, about you
Is there any way, anything I can say,
Cause it's been a long time comin'
I can't stop lovin' you,
Tell me what to do about you...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KQ1Wgh7GZ4

During hard times, you will either become bitter or better. It's your choice...

Day 12: Palmetto Aces!

Today I spent my entire day taking pictures of Palmetto Aces competing in the Volleyball Classic. It was cool, and there were lots and lots of teams from all over there competing today. It was crazy! These were the two Palmetto Aces teams that competed today. They did great, and had an awesome spirit!



"No one will be able to stand against you as long as you live. For I will be with you as I was with Moses. I will not fail you or abandon you."
Joshua 1:5

Joshua's job was to lead many people into a new land to conquer it. Every new job or task, can be a challenge or even more, scary but if we allow God to help us, it can be an adventure. Every day we receive new temptations, and hard trials to overcome but our promise from God, is that He will never abandon us or fail us. Stay strong and be faithful to Him.

Day 11: Long day...

Today has been a long day. It was a long day not from everything I did, it was a long day because I didn't do ANYTHING! I got ready to go, go dressed, put make-up on...went no where. That was my day in a nutshell. This picture today comes from my phone...and that is my alarm that is set to wake up in the morning. I am shooting pictures for the Volleyball Classic at the Convention Center in the morning and I have to be there at 7am. Talk about wake up call...good thing I did nothing all day.

Verse of the day...

"You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you."
Isaiah 48:6

We need to patient with God, He will bring things to the light, and reveal new hidden things to us. His plan for us is so great, we have to patient, faithful, and humbled at His feet, knowing that He is taking care of us!

Day 10: A balloon...

Someone told me once that...

"A balloon can take you where ever you want to go..."

There's another story behind that, but I won't get into it. I do wish we could just blow up a balloon and it could take you anywhere. The movie "Up" was such a great movie. This picture is a sketch of the husband Carl, in the movie "Up" with a balloon. I saw a picture and thought it was so cool. It was on my mind as I sat there at the table and pondered, and I found myself sketching him out on the back of an envelope I just opened. I love it. Watch the movie if you haven't. It's awesome.

":And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? He requires only that you fear the Lord your God, and live in a way that pleases him, and love him and serve him with all your heart and soul. And you must always obey the Lord's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good."
Deuteronomy 10:12-13

1. Fear God.
2. Live in a way that pleases Him
3. Love Him
4. Serve Him with all your heart and soul
5. Obey His commands

We often mix up God's ways with worldly ways that we get ourselves into. We must focus our eyes on Him, even if we are struggling. God uses everything for the good. Find your perspective, find your focus.

"Respect, Follow, Love, Serve, and Obey."

Day 9: More music....

Today, I finally got my cello fixed. I've been inspired to learn how to play cello for a while now and the someone gave me a cello for nothing. WHen they gave it to me, it needed a new bridge, and so it sat there for a while but today I finally got it fixed. Now I can finally start learning! I was pretty excited about that today, so I guess you can say this picture, is a pic that put a smile on my face.
Along with that, I guess I have a little saying that I'm going to try and stand by and live by for a while, accountability...I was talking with a friend and this is what she said.
"We are going to be lights to this dark and gloomy world...bringing joy to everyone we speak to and sharing the warmth of a smile with everyone we come in contact with."
Smile.

Bible verse of the day...

"Honor your father and mother, as the Lord your God commanded you. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Deuteronomy 5:16

Obeying...not just obeying, but obeying God AND ....obeying your parents. For most teens, that's not the "cool" thing to do to obey our parents but as we get older, we grow up and receive it more and more. I know at times it can be hard, but it what has to come. Think about it, it's as easy as being respectful. In another view, obeying our "parents" is also really obeying God. We should do what only brings honor and glory to His name, our father in heaven.

Day 8:Freeze frame...the day after.

Well here is the day after the ice storm, it has made me depressed. Here we were, supposedly going to get snow, and we get...frozen rain, go figure. It's been a day, and I haven't been well today. I wish it were the opposite. On the bright side, I received an unexpected phone call today and I think God maybe opening a door or two. I'm praying...I feel like such a burden on people sometimes. I hate it, I really hate it. I have such a hard time as it is, with expressing emotion and when I find someone I'm comfortable with, I feel like a burden. I have some serious attachment issues. ughh, anyways. I spent some time in God's house today....some quiet time. That's always good.

Bible verse of the day...
"The land must never be sold on a permanent basis, for the land belongs to me. You are only foreigners and tenant farmers working for me."
Leviticus 25:23

God created the world, therefore everything is in His possession. If we lived life with that in mind, we would take care of everything better. We wouldn't be greedy or obnoxious about things, because God owns it. Everything is under God's care, we just manage it.

Day 7: Fun Day Instead of Snow Day

So last night, all the schools cancelled classes for today in Myrtle Beach, well most of South Carolina....because of the "anticipated" winter snow storm we were suppose to get. Well I woke up this morning and we didn't have anything on the ground. Then it started raining and everything started to freeze over...and well you get the picture. I think all of Horry County stayed in and did nothing today. Anyways, I received a text from the Wiseman family to come join them for breakfast along with the Flanigan fam too. It was great.....many laughs, along with trying to make Merritt smile with everything going on with her. Ahh I love my church family. Anyways, my pictures come from the Wiseman household this morning when we all decided to play Dance Dance Revolution and well Matt got put up with Carson to battle and boy was that funny. Matt vs. the 4 year old.....talk about laughing. Good times. So thankful for my church family, gosh I spend more time with them than anything. I'm not quite sure what I would do without them.

"I lavish unfailing love to a thousand generations. I forgive iniquity, rebellion, and sin. But I do not excuse the guilty. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren; the entire family is affected-even children in the third and fourth generations."
Exodus 34:7

Sin can sometimes maybe carry through from generation to generation...don't treat it casually. Turn from it, it may be hard now but it maybe be saving someone later on.

Man, I sure hope Carson doesn't inherit Matt's dance moves....haha.

Day 6: Ground Zero

Ground Zero
Mission Statement: Ground Zero exists to empower the Christian community to reach America's teenagers for Jesus Christ.

There are 33 million teenagers in the US with 11,500 teenagers in Myrtle Beach alone. They are the most unreached generation. Just 4% know God.
Ground Zero was founded in 1998 by Scott Payseur. The ministry began staging evangelistic outreach events for teenagers in northeast Tennessee, steadily extending its influence for several years.
In 2002, Ground Zero reorganized its staff, obtained independent non-profit status and began developing its signature strategy to reach and disciple teenagers for Jesus Christ. Its mission was honed further in 2005 to focus on empowering the Christian community to reach and disciple teenagers for Jesus Christ.
In 2006, Ground Zero launched in Myrtle Beach, SC and has since transferred corporate operations there. To date, the ministry has shared the gospel with over 100,000 teenagers.

Ground Zero is awesome, and it's such a great eye opening experience to see youth kids worship the Lord and love Him the way these kids do. Tonight was yet again, such a great time. The kids are great. I am so thankful for everything God has given me and all the experiences He has allowed me to go through, even the hard stuff. God has really been working in my heart this past like week and a half. I can't read the word enough. I love it. Even with that, God has placed a certain couple of people in my life, and they have really given me a different perspective on life. I've learned that I'm not the only one who struggles, I'm not the only one going through "junk", I'm not alone. Sharing hearts, stories, struggles have really helped me in many ways understand. I am so thankful for that.

"Instruct all the skilled craftsmen whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom. Have them make garments for Aaron that will distinguish him as a priest set apart for my service."
Exodus 28:3

The tailors that made Aaron's garments were given wisdom by God. They used their talents and wisdom from God to complete their task. The Lord has given every single one of us, many gifts and talents. We should be using those to glorify His name. Think about all of the people in the world that God has blessed, it's incredible. Choose to use yours, for Him.

Day 5: Cheerios for Life.

Cheerios.....I've been eating them since I was little. I have seriously eaten cheerios every night for like the past 3 nights. Multi-grain. haha Good for the heart, apparently.

"So once more the people complained against Moses. "Give us water to drink!" they demanded."Quiet!" Moses replied. "Why are you complaining against me? And why are you testing the Lord?"
Exodus 17:2

In times of stress and trouble, we complain a lot. Complaining only raises our stress level even higher, and it doesn't fix the situation at all. Prayer is the way, prayer quiets our hearts, thoughts, and emotions, in which prepares us to listen. Give it to God. "Let go and let God."

Day 4: Past Times

Past times.....We all have our memories from when we were little or younger. Sports were a huge part of my life, I miss it. I remember going from game to game, driving hours. My dad used to travel with me everywhere. I played softball for my school, for a rec team, for a travel team...I played a lot. I played all year long, and then when I went off to college, I just stopped everything. I miss it. I grew up with mostly boys, so I was always outside, playing some kind of sport with them. I miss it.



And then, we grow, get older, and we find ourselves looking back, at what was, when we were little. Memories are good. It's kind of like looking through the fence or window of what "was" there.



Then comes a part of our life, where we come to a 4 way in our lives. I may be there right now myself. Patience is all we need. Patience and faith to know that God will move us, God will show us, and God will make us into who He wants us to be. And He will do it on His time. God is never late, He's always on time. We just have to trust in Him to pull us through.



"But Moses pleaded with the Lord, "O Lord, I'm not very good with words. I never have been, and I'm not now, even though you have spoken to me. I get tongue-tied, and my words get tangled." Then the Lord asked Moses, "Who makes a person's mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is is not I, the Lord? Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say." But Moses again pleaded, "Lord, please! Send anyone else."
Exodus 4:10-13

We sometimes forget that God has the power to allow us to overcome our weaknesses. If He wants us to do something, He will allow us to do it. It's so easy for us to focus on our weaknesses and push everything else aside, but we need to remember, that with God, anything is possible. Trust Him.

Day 3: Hopeful.

Ok, first of all, yes this is my wrist and no that's not a real tattoo, although I would like to get one. Today I believe I have been filled with the joy of the Lord. I have been so happy today, and I am thankful for it, after being in a funk for a while. The sermon we heard at church on Sunday about happiness and choosing happiness, has really changed my perspective. I am thankful today and I should be for all I have. I do have positive things going on around me and I am choosing to be surrounded by positive things and by the people that love me for who I am because I am a part of that. There's hope for everyone. Be hope(ful).

"But the more the Egyptians oppressed them, the more the Israelites multiplied and spread, and the more alarmed the Egyptians became."
Exodus 1:12

We all go through trials, and yet God uses them for good. The Egyptians tried to force the Israelites into slavery, but the more the Egyptians mistreated them, the stronger the Israelites became. We cannot let things bring us down. Trials that we go through only make us stronger. I read a quote today that really made me think....
"We cannot be overcomers without troubles to overcome. Be true to God in the hard times because even the worst situations can make us better people." Trust in the Lord, He will be right next to you through it all.

Day 2: God is Love.

God has surely opened and closed a lot of doors in my life already, but He continues to show me new things every day, even through other people. I choose happiness. My circumstances do not determine my happiness. The devil searches for our weakness and jumps at it as soon as we let our guard down. With everything I have going on, I choose my happiness, I choose my attitude, I choose my perspective. I choose to focus on Him. God is all we need and I am so grateful for that. We should be focusing on the things that matter in life, not the negative as most of us just revert to. God is love, God is unfailing, God is above all things, most of all, God is able. Which brings me to my bible verse of the day...
"Is anything to hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."
-Genesis 18:14
God is able, He is so able to overcome all things. God can move mountains, and He can surely move my mountains. All God wants is for us to ask Him for help. Is anything too hard for Him? Absolutely not. I heard a song recently on the radio called "Come Home" by Luminate. That song, when I heard it, broke me. God doesn't want us to fix everything on our own, because we cannot do it without Him. He wants us to come to Him. "If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking." Think about that, it overwhelms me. We need to stop trying to fix everything on our own like we know how it needs to be. God has a plan, He has a will for us and we need to take the time to catch ourselves, stop, and "come home".

Come Home - Luminate
Your best friends with the word regret
Your afraid that your life's been waisted
So why hope if it's only gonna let you down?
You don't think people really change
You're a mess and you'll always be the same
And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around
So (I know) you've been running, searching for something
But you're looking in a place you don't belong
But it's never to late, you can't out run grace
No, Mercy doesn't care what you've done
so come Home
You can try to fix your broken empire
Put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you'll be building castles on the sand
THERE'S POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS
Your father's screaming Just Come Home!
He's reaching out His hands!
From the shadows , From the wrong roads
From the darkness, From the unknown
To redemption, Something beautiful
To a new love, to new home...so come home.

God is Love.

Number 1. Here We GO.....

I am starting this once and for all, I am doing it. I am sucking it up and doing it. I will get through it. So here we go, day one. My picture is of my Toms shoes on the beach. I took this picture as I had some quiet time on the beach earlier today. I was looking down at my feet as I walked along the beach and I realized what an amazing ministry that is.
"In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by TOMS customers."
Straight from the website. I love these shoes and just what a cool and honorable thing to be able to say, as you bought a pair of shoes, another child in Africa that doesn't even have one pair of shoes, received their very first pair of shoes. So as you check out my picture of the day, and my bible verse of the day, also check out Toms shoes and grab a pair. They rock and just think how you could be helping out another child in need. www.Toms.com







And...Here...We...GO.......

Bible Verse of the day....

"And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith." Genesis 15:6

Our actions, although we may think, do not help our relationship with God. It's our faith. We think the more we do better, the better we succeed, the more God will love us and look upon us. Not true, having the faith confidence that God is who He says He is and He will and can take care of all things, is really what draws us closer.
