All Things Analyn

Today was The Rock Church's Ask event. It was a 12 prayer meeting and boy it was AWESOME! I was only there for four hours but next time, I'll push for the 12 hours. My sister, bless her heart, was there the whole time. It's amazing what prayer can do. Prayer is simply communication with God. A person's prayer is his or her own way to speak to God. It may not be eloquent or grammatically correct but God knows exactly what they are talking about. I love when Pastor Miles prays and tells God that He is "da bomb!" This card is dedicated to Pastor Miles: The bible verse is Philippians 4:6-7 "Be careful for nothing but in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be know to God. And the peace of God that passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ." When Peter walked on water, he was fine until he took his eyes off Christ. When we pray and ask God we are promised peace and hope. Hope of a way out, hope...

He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation foor through him god created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.  He made the things we can see and the things we can't see-such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.  Everything was created through him and for him.

After the movie we had a session of retail therapy at the mall.  Ahh, the joys of shopping with the bestie! For the first time in a LONG time, we rode the monorail and I just had to capture it on film...I hope you enjoy the pics! Pearlridge was hosting "Ice Age" throughout the mall where they showcased mechanical animals during this period of time.  There were many neat displays and the most impressive (as usual) is where they have the kid's train.  Sorry, I didn't get pics of that.

rain or shine, us girls are gonna sell you sumptin' It was a fun day at the kam swap meet in Pearlridge, Hawaii.  A long time ago, my brother, O and cousin, D; we would get up early Saturday mornings to sell our goodies...back then I was a 16-17 yr old teenager trying to make mulaah :)  On this Saturday, we (my bff, bff's daughter, the bff's sister, bff's sister's daughter, and myself) had a very early morning start setting up the tent and all the goodies.  It sporadiacally rained throughout the 5 hours we were there, which worked out in our favor because each time it rained we had lots of new customers under our tent. We had over 10 bins of clothes, toys, baby bottles, a car seat, a lot of girly goodies, and a famous pair of sunglasses for sale.  The sunglasses became very poplular...i think due to the fact that it was the only thing left on my selling table.  Almost everyone who entered into our stall (in this order) picked them up, looked to see who ...

It was three years ago I took my first cardmaking class with Jill Grace at Cool Scrapbook Stuff in Poway, CA.  It was then I fell in love with the stamps and their products.  I've been an A Muse addict since then!  My very first stamp was "wild bouquet" and the "cupcake builder" set.  Although I misplaced my cupcakes and had to purchase a second set.  It was a very sad moment when my cupcakes went missing.  I cried to the girls in the lounge about it.  They were sweet and consoled me during this tough time. :(  Now for the good news: Drumroll... I signed up and ordered the deluxe starter kit to become part of the a s creative consultant team! Yay, me!!!   I'm so excited and can't wait to create!  I even rhyme!

Memorial Day 2011 Many Rivers One Ocean - the theme in the Lantern Floating Hawaii Every year for the past 13 years, Hawaii has celebrated the lives of passed on loved ones every Memorial Day. It's a free event that fills Ala Moana beach with thousands of islanders and visitors alike. The event is open to all with or without a religious preference but is lead by the Head of Shinnyo-en Buddhism - Keishu Shinso Ito. Floating lanterns is a Japanese tradition that started long ago. Its a beautiful ceremony with hula dancers, guest performers, and Japanese Taiko drummers. This beautiful tradition symbolizes the wish that all coexist in peace. As the lanterns are released into the ocean, it takes with them thoughts and prayers for all those victums in dispare and hopes of happiness and joy for all - past, present and future. I was blessed to enjoy my first lantern ceremony this Memorial Day evening with my sister, Sherilyn. It was a very memorial day! As we got there we found a sweet spo...
