True Hero

True Hero
PFC Derek McConnell
On the OWH (operation write home) blog featured a story about a wounded warrior.  PFC Derek McConnell was injured on July 23, 2011.  He sustained injuries by an IED.  More information is on Caring Bridge's website.  It is written by his mother.  Its a bittersweet journey that she's going through.  Take a few minutes to read and sign her guest book. 

I found my video about my True Hero.  I was really stoked that I still had it because I thought I lost it forever when my Dell laptop broke. 

I hope you enjoy this video.  Please continue to pray for our military men and women; and their families.

Let Go and Let God...

So I've been going through some stressful and difficult times in my life recently.

I pray that I can "Let Go and Let God" but I'm the kind of person asking "Lord, can you show me? What does that look like?" Dude, I don't know about you but I'm praying for the wrong thing.

Anyway, my lesson learned: Pray for peace in my heart, what ever that looks like, just give me a "chill pill"....Lift this burden of heaviness off me. For me, I pray that I can chill and Trust Him-whatever that looks like. Although because I don't know what it looks like, I'm scared (heart skips a beat) of what it does look like! Does that m...

Simple card

Just a simple one tonight. I love stickles! No coloring on her dress, just stickles. I'm exhausted! Today was the first time ever that I've given blood. It wasn't all that bad! I may do it again, although I will definitely have lunch before I give. They did have yummy treats! Donate Blood, you'll be a true HERO.

Random Amusing Challenge # 19

Image
Here's my card for Glenda's weekly challeng e. This week was to use scraps. This was a fairly easy since I have tons of scraps! The only thing is new is the stamps, newly inked. Does that count? I hope so. Glenda, thanks for this challenge because I got a chance to clean and purge my scrap box! It needs more organizing but I got it down to three scrap boxes: large scraps, medium, and small-but-usable scraps. There were a lot of white card stock pieces that I could now use instead of using a new full sheet! A Muse: stamps: three cups, what's brewing, other: twinkle stars, paper: vintage red, card base: wausau classic cardstock.
