High Standards.

Everyone I know needs to see this movie! This is my favorite scene in Fireproof. I love you too much not to share this with you today. I needed to see it myself.

I'm thanking Him for loving me over and over and over again,

John's Graduation MSU May 9, 2009

I wanted to share some pictures of John's graduation. We had such a nice day!
He's such a boy! He wanted a very low-key celebration. He even wanted to leave before it was over. We helped him unload some last minute stuff from his car before we went to have dinner with his dad and stepmother. All I can say is I felt God's presence all day long.

Meghan gave me the greatest c.d. for Mother's Day! She told me this song reminds her of me.

I love being a mom!



Happy Mother's Day!
I had the best day with my family today!
Shalom,
Angie xoxo

All that matters to me today...

For John...


With Love,
Mom xoxo

Thankful Thursday... Beth Moore

Remember Thankful Thursdays? My life is so much better when I make it a practice to be grateful, so I'm going to try to dedicate Thursdays to "Thankful Thursdays" again.

I'm grateful for you all taking the time to click on my blog, facebook and now... I must admit this week I started having fun with Twitter. I had opened an account some time ago, but never did anything about it. I don't want to get behind in this world of technology. I want to be the cool Grandma one day! Plus, my new phone has a cute application that allows me to get on there easily. I doubt I'll get into it (actually I hope I don't since I don't think anyone cares what I eat for breakfast or when I balance my checkbook), but today I'm especially grateful for it because I was able to see Travis Cottrell's updates from the National Day of Prayer in Washington D.C. where our beloved Beth Moore spoke.

Here is what Travis shared:
Beth Moore at NDP: Is what we are praying man's will for God, or God's will for man?

Beth Moore at NDP: No amt of atheism or humanism can keep us from revival. Only WE can keep us from revival.

Beth Moore at NDP: Take heart: God is not taking a vacation.

I love those thoughts!

I'm thanking God for introducing me to Beth through her Bible studies. Her love of the Word is so contagious and for that I'm forever grateful.



I believe in the power of Prayer!
Love,
Angie xoxo

p.s. I'm also grateful that Meghan will be home tomorrow! And that the grass is really green and John is graduating this weekend, and my mom is in town, and my husband's practice is surviving this economy and I still have a job and I'm healthy and I have so many caring friends and family! :)

A week from today...

I'll be with Meghan!

Meghan with her bff, Kristen.

I am so excited that one week from today, on Mother's Day (& John's graduation) I will be spending it with my daughter! I haven't seen her since Christmas, so we are long overdue! I'm most looking forward to taking a walk with her and sitting at the kitchen counter drinking a cup of coffee with no sirens, no bad signals, no hurried talk before she gets to the subway and not on her way in to the office. Just the two of us... :)



I can't wait!
Love,
Angie xoxo

At the end of the day...

I'M GLAD...
I just finished my last day of homework for the Esther Bible study. I don't have words to describe it to you. The homework was amazing! I wanted to jot down a few things I hope to never forget...

~Reversal of Destiny. God can turn it around!

~Don't be a pancake cooked only on one side.

~And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

I believe in the sun, even when it is not shining.
I believe in love, even when I do not feel it.
I believe in God, even when He is silent.
~Author Unknown

At such a time as this... It's tough being a woman, but with God all things are possible!



I'm glad He chose me to do this study! If you want to be blessed beyond measure, do this Bible study! Just do it!

By faith, with love and gratefulness,
Angie xoxo

Memory verse #9

So I chose this verse because it makes me think about my son, John who will be graduating from Michigan State University next weekend. He is planning to go to law school after graduation. God knows where he'll end up, so for now we'll just wait to see. He could be in Naples, Florida next year this time. I hope he can relax and stay focused on God's plans for his life in the meantime.

I put my verse on the picture of the prayer I found when I was in junior high. It was my plea for God to help me get chosen for the basketball team.

While he waits to see where God wants him next, I'd love for John to learn this song on his graduation gift of a guitar.



Loving this challenge to memorize Scripture!
Angie xoxo

p.s. Because I can... :)
