And the winner is....



This was the winner of the movie toss up and it didn't disappoint. Such a great movie. One of those feel good movies you got to love. Although, it's one of those movies that makes you wish you had someone, and left you going awwwwwwwww :) All in God's good timing though, it gives me hope at least! I think that's why romance movies were created, to let us know that there's someone out there for everybody. Go and see it if you haven't. On a funnier note, right as the movie was beginning there was a very quiet moment and then this lady, bless her heart, let out the biggest sneeze known to man, and then everyone in the theater all together at the same time said "God Bless You", haha!!! It might have been one of those "you had to of been there moments", but nonetheless was soooo funny and gave us all a good laugh.

To another change of subject. I don't know if anyone else struggles with this, but I've been feeling really convicted about the amount of time I spend in the word and spending that one-on-one time with the Lord. It's so easy to let things hinder us for taking that time. And I think I get overwhelmed by the bible sometimes, does that make sense? Does anyone else struggle with this, or does anyone who ever has have some advice, or let me know how you were able to get past that hurdle.

Have a GREAT Saturday ya'll :)

Umm.. yeah!! I totally struggle with it and too many times I blame that I have 3 kids and hate doing that! Even if it's just 30 minutes a day, He wants that and is so jealous for our time. It's one thing I am really working on and hopefully it will just become second nature to me. Thanks for sharing!! Have a great weekend!!

I KNOW exactly what you mean! I struggle with the same thing. That was one of my new years resolutions...to study the bible more and make time for God. I bought an everyday bible that breaks the bible up into a little bit each day of the year. I really like it so far.

Just find something that works for you and, I agree with Heather, even if it's just for 30 minutes He just wants to spend time with us!

I hadn't even wanted to see that movie, but you made it sound SO good! I may have to rethink it.

I will admit that I struggle with letting other things get my attention, but since December, I've made it a point to get in the Word every morning.

Then our pastor (Kelly's dad) started a devotional blog that enables the reader to read through the Bible in a year. I've really been enjoying that!! You can find it here.

Hey, thanks for stopping by, I use my blog for mostly photography stuff, but occasionally I put the good stuff on it, you know!

Ohhhh I have felt that before. A few months ago I really felt Him lead me to take a "media fast". For a week I didn't watch Tv, blog, or get on the internet (except to check email, because that's like a phone call!). And in all my free time that that opened up, I read the bible, and prayed, and also read a book called "Invitation to Silence and Solitude" that talked about spending time quietly before the Lord...good stuff!
It was difficult the first 2 days, but it was EXTREMELY rewarding!!

Yes...you will find that someone in God's timing! It took me 28 years to find mine and it was worth the wait!!!!!! I'm glad to hear good reviews about that movie. It is one I'd like to see.

Lauren,
I too struggle with reserving time to spend with God. I often feel convicted when I'm on this computer all evening and don't spend time in the word.
Also, I say Last Chance Harry on Sat night too. I was a good movie. Very sweet! Where is my Harry?
