First off, my eShakti.com giveaway has ended...and out of the 90 entries, we have our two winners!
Kim from The Made Thing and Michelle Pickett! Woohoo! I will be emailing you both today!
The weekend was pretty laid-back. Friday we did a bit more Black Friday shopping. I got some STEALS at Lifeway! Madisa's Christmas cd and Ann Voskamp's book!
Then we came home and decorated the Christmas tree. I LOVE mom's tree. It is on a rotating base, so it spins. So pretty!
While we decorated, Tyler watched the Greenwood football game. They were in the semi-finals for the state title...and it was a close game. But Greenwood won! We are going to state next weekend! I love that our team broadcasts home games online. Very convenient!
Saturday, we did a little more shopping, ate lunch, and then we went to the shooting range. Dad didn't shoot, but he tagged along! ha!
I am a bit out of practice with my revolver. I mean, it's been like 4 years since I shot it. But I did hit the bullseye! Mom did pretty good, too!
We went out to eat at the Wharf afterwards and had a great seafood dinner.
Sunday, I sang at church. It was a bit of a disaster morning. I overheated trying to get ready in my little bathroom and almost passed out, had a good cry (more on that later), and then I left early to sing at church. My car was out of gas, so I stopped at the station. I realized that mom still had my wallet. I called everyone, and no one answered. I didn't really have enough time to go home, get my wallet, come back, fill up, and make it to church (but would have been ok if mom met me...then I would have driven her car while she filled up and went home to get ready)....but NO ONE ANSWERED MY CALL. I sat in my car crying and a stranger saw me and gave me $10. So I made it to church.
Tyler filmed part of my song. I'm not sharing this as a "look at me" thing. I love this song and the message and want to share it.
A couple times, as I was looking around the room, I saw people from my "home" church and it moved me to tears. I saw a family who lost their daughter to brain cancer. I saw a lady who was recently widowed. I had to choke back tears a couple times while I was singing. But man, it was good to be in my first church home.
We had lunch at home with the whole family, then I took a nap, and we came back home.
My Gram went back in the hospital last night. She is having trouble walking, and they thought she had a stroke...but now they are thinking it might be circulatory issues. Please pray. I should have some updates in the next day or so.
Hope you all had a GREAT turkey day weekend!






Sometimes when we try to do things for the Lord, satan tries to get in the way doesn't he? You have a lovely voice. That exact song was a special at my church yesterday as well. Love it.
