So Impressed!

Tyler's favorite show at the moment is American Idol, so we make sure to sit down and watch it as a family. It usually turns into Karaoke Hour for Tyler as he tries to imitate each of the contestants. I will try to get some footage next week and post it to the blog for your viewing pleasure.

Tonight's Results show was a surprise in many aspects. I was terribly dissapointed in the outcome of the bottom 3 and who was ultimately sent home(don't want to spoil the surprise for those of you who have not seen it yet). However, the show started with a very welcomed surprise! The first song began and I could hardly believe my ears. The Top 8 entered the stage singing "Shout to the Lord"!! By the end of the first verse, I was in tears. Not because of the amazing vocals, although they were incredible. I was SO IMPRESSED that the executives at Fox and Idol were making a stand for something great.

"Nothing compares to the promise I have in You!" What an important message for millions of viewers tuned in for tonight's show to hear. I am so thankful that there is still a shred of goodness left on TV in the midst of the modern day Babylon we live in!! So, hats off to American Idol for bringing some light into this dark world tonight. I definitely plan to download tonight's performance to show my support!

Bitter vs. Better

One Harsh Word. One Argument. One Death. One Injustice. One Accusation. ONE HURT. Now the question is, will we become bitter or better? 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 "16 That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever." Over the next couple of weeks, I want to catch you all up to speed on the wonderful whirlwind that my life has been for the last few months. I want to share how God is changing my story and our family, and I want to start with how it all began. About 3 months ago, Blake and I started attending Celebrate Recovery at our church to allow God to heal our hurts and hangups. Very ...

Hello My Name is Jamie- Part 4

The day that I made the decision to sit down and begin my moral inventory, will forever be etched into my heart. It was a cold and dreary winter day, much like the state of my spirit. In all honesty, I was DREADING the task at hand. Who in their right mind would want to make an account of every painful memory from the past as well as every sin committed against others?!?! As I sat down at a Starbucks with my favorite flavored coffee beverage in hand, I began praying Psalm 129:23, “Examine me, O God, and know my mind; test me, and discover…if there is any evil in me and guide me in the everlasting way.” I knew that there was pain from my childhood buried so deep that only He would have the power to bring to the surfaces. For so long, I had masked and/or stuffed the wounds in my life, rather than allowing Him to heal them. Within minutes of my prayer, the memories came pouring down like the rain I could hear outside. Just a little side-note, if you ever decide to take a painful j...

Girlfriends

Over the weekend I was talking with one of my new and dear friends, Chavon about friendships. Our conversation has had me really reflecting on how my view of friendship has changed since my teenage years(thanks Chevy for the insight!!). When I was younger, I felt this overwhelming desire to be the "popular" girl. I wanted to have as many friends as humanly possible. The problem with this drive towards an endless supply of friendships is that I was always left feeling lonely and not emotionally connected. As the years have passed, I know that the reason for that loneliness was that it is not possible to emotionally connect with an abundance of people. Trying to connect with too many people leaves a person with a million acquaintances and very few true friendships. I don't really recall a moment when that changed, but I do know that as each stage of life has come, I have become less and less worried with the amount of friends I can claim. I found that as I needed so...
