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!

Perfection

This weekend I am in Louisiana visiting my little brother and his wife to celebrate his college graduation. We are staying in the city that holds some of my fondest memories of my life with Blake as well as a few from my high school days. Today I created another day of simple, but priceless memories in this city that still feels like home to me! The best part of the day began after my afternoon nap(yes, I am applying what I have learned from my previous post). The kids were a little restless with energy that needed to be expended as was I, so my brother took us to a new city park. Evan played with Tyler on the playground while my mom took Katy for a walk so I could go for a long bike ride. I was able to breathe in this environment that my heart at times aches for. Hundreds of trees danced above me singing about their Creator with the rustling of their leaves. Magnolia blossoms caught my nose and reminded me of the sweetness of my great-grandmother who treasured their scent as i...

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...

I Ran the Rock...well half of it anyways!

Philippians 3:13-14 "Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:13 "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Sunday, December 14th, will be treasured in my heart as one of the most amazing days of my life! Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of when Blake ran the White Rock marathon and my very first half-marathon. The months of training leading up to the race have been filled with hours upon hours of running, one foot in front of the other, through shin splints, blisters, bad attitudes, muscle cramps, and pot holes. More than that it was filled with: treasured time with amazing friends(especially my 10 mile turkey trot with Andi and Jerri), incredible time connecting to God through worship and prayer, writing His Word on my h...
