So much wedding on the brain lately. I’ve been emerged in wedding planning lately, and it’s very easy to get caught up in the minutia of details, when in reality I’m probably not going to notice these things on the day of the wedding. (Although, I want my guests to enjoy all the personal touches, [...]
I’ve heard this song several times on the radio and recently heard an interview with Britt Nicole discussing this song she wrote, “The Lost Get Found.” Her story that triggered her to write this song was very similar to mine and I’m sure many of yours. Do you ever get that feeling (as if God [...]

I built this hardbound book of all our photos since we started dating a year and a half ago (Aug. 2007- now (Dec. 08)) for Brian as one of his Christmas presents. The book came out nicely, and I like how you can share it online and build it online, not on [...]
My dad gave me the 25-day devotional, “The Heart of Christmas,” by Hank Hanegraaff (the “Bible answer man.”) This devotional helps us to focus on the true meaning of CHRISTMAS. It pulls from the scriptures and includes a carol or hymn for each day. I wanted to share today’s Christmas Carol “Joy to the World.” [...]

I usually lean towards current (1990+) mystery novels (James Patterson) and the occasional classy romance novel (Luanne Rice). But this book was highly suggested by tons of my friends, [...]
My pastor, Matt Chandler, has mentioned how we can go from living a “normal” laughter-filled day, to receving a phone call that will bring us to our knees, crying, and broken within seconds.
Before last Tuesday, I had only experienced that phone call once in my life… just one year earlier. On Tuesday , June 10, [...]
The Village Church is built on 5 core values: TRUTH… COMMUNITY… CHRISTIAN SPRITUALITY… FOOT-WASHING… MISSIONAL LIVING. Our pastor, Matt Chandler, went through a sermon series on all 5 of these core values.
This a little blurb taken from a hand out I received before church service a few weeks ago that I really enjoyed!. It [...]
Ok so it’s about time I do another music review blog entry…
Here are some of the musicians I have been listening to lately:
Charlotte Sometimes
Sounds a lot like Ingrid Michaelson (unique voice to replicate)- I’m still trying to figure it out….
Apparently her stage name came from the CURE song written after a series of children books [...]
