Update in a nutshell!

So, it has been a while since a post... Savannah did well on her SAT's... I will not post those, as she would kill me, and rightly so! We have been working a lot around the house, cleaning out and trying to do some improvements that I have not been able to do since I bought the place!

I have also started selling Thirty One products. Thirty One is a Christian based company based on the Bible verse Proverbs 31, the virtuous woman. This company seeks to encourage and reward women. Something that is almost unheard of these days.

Not just women, but seems like society is so quick to place judgment on others so quickly. Just last week, the media was all over Jessica Simpson about a supposed weight gain, give me a break! She is beautiful and tiny, as I just saw her a month ago in concert! We tend to look so analytically at others, as well as ourselves, placing emphasis on flaws and not looking at the good in people. Why is it that we are such a pessimistic society? And I will be the first to admit, I do this, too! Always looking for something wrong with someone, as apposed to finding their good qualities, first. This is something that I am consciously working on. We tend to watch news and entertainment news that only reports the bad things, leaving that one heart tugging good story til right at the end... like that is the only good thing that happened that day in the whole world!


I say, enough... I am ready to be the beacon that God wants me to be. To shine a light that will let others know through both action and word, that I am a child of God. He is my Savior, and I am thankful to have such a loving and gracious God... who daily shows mercy to me. I am as imperfect as they come, and He loves me anyway, and all of my humanistic imperfections. He loves me just the way I am, although I am sure at times I really disappoint Him, as I disappoint myself. I want to surround myself with those that choose consciously to live a more pleasing life for the glory of God... for without Him, we just exist. I want a purpose, I want to know HIM... not just know of Him... Everything we do, we need to do with Him and His glory in mind. Whether or not we get the intended outcome in everything we do, we need to give Him the glory and the praise.


The Davie Eagles will be competing in their first competition of the year this Saturday in Greensboro. Not everyone will be able to attend, but they will still have a blast just going and being around other cheer squads! Go EAGLES!
I have been approached to help with a new all star cheer gym that will be built in Davie County. Can't give out too much info yet, but please watch for updates in the near future. The great thing about this gym, is that is already Christ centered, with the inspiration Bible verse being:

Isaiah 40:31

³¹ but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Savannah and I are also going to the Winter Jam Christian Concert Tour after the competition Saturday in Greensboro. The doors open at 5 and the show starts at 6. It is $10 at the door to get in and is well worth it! There will be Toby Mac, Brandon Heath and others, as well as a speaker. This concert tour is second in the nation of attendees... don't hear that in the news, do you? This is a great testimony time for these artists, and will bring many to Christ! God is good!!!

You know us, we are Crazy in Carolina! God Bless!
