The Birds

So since we've moved to GA, my mom really wants to see some birds. Ok, my mom loves watching birds at breadfast, so this is not really a new concept. In SC, we had brick pattio with trees and bird feeder and the birds just loved it!
Anyway, she decided to put out a bird feeder, but the birds just won't come.
We tried a different seed and everything. Mom even made a trail of bird seed all around the deck railing.
We've seen two birds.
They flew away.
I had a leftover pancake that I didn't know what to do with, to which my parents replied-give it to the birds!
So i left a trail of pancake and bird seed for the birds....

A coffee table, rug, and Emily

Today, well yesterday, I was trying to help my mom fix the placement of a rug. There's a coffee table on this rug. So I decided to stand on the rug and lift up the coffee table while mom adjusts the rug. Instead of moving the rug, which wasn't possible, we all died laughing as someone said, "Ya Emily, like you weigh less than the coffee table."

Music and Lyrics is just a really funny movie (minus some language and odd scenes). So here's a highlight of some of the best songs of the movie, enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
because he has come to his people and redeemed them."
Luke 1:68

Promises

So it's been a while since I've posted of our favorite bear dog! Here she is:



At home again, in my new home in Georgia. It will be our first Christmas here. It's amazing how much can change in such a short time. Change is always hard for some reason but it can also be very good.

Change is part of life: friends change, friendships change, jobs change, people move, rules change, administration changes, life changes.

I tell my friends, I promise it's going to be ok. And it will, the only reason I can say that is because they are in the care of Jesus Christ and He promises that.

Now it's time to start believing the promise! It all started with a baby born in a manger; it was the fulfillment of a promise that would change the world forever!

Great Song

Today is the day I give you every glory,
Today is the day I let you write my story
I know the past is something I can't undo
To know the good and bad are made to serve You

For all that's happened here before
For all the sorrows at my door
In every circumstance
I know I'm in Your hands

When my heart is weak
You're the strength in me
You are good to me all the time

-Excerpts from You are Good to Me by Billy and Cassie Lord and Melodee and Juan Devevo

Heard this song at Eagle's Landing Church in Georgia and really appreciated it.
We also sang Chris Tomlin's "My Soul Magnifies the Lord" and " 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus". Do you see a theme? It's all about trust and the work God is doing!

Let go and let God

Sometimes you just have to let go, and let God. (One of the many lessons I've learned in the past three weeks.) For some reason, I tend to get thrown into life, real quick and all at once but that's ok.

In the midst

In the midst of it all (which somehow became a lot) I can't thank the Lord enough for letting me know that He is at work in my life and in control. I have had once again, another week that I will never forget. Yesterday, specifically was probably one of the longest days I've had, but for everything that 'went wrong' something else 'went right'. The irony, which is also the hand of God, was just blowing me away. I think I am learning to open my hands and let go of everything; more and more I am realizing that I have no control and that's right where I should be-giving up. I know this, and said at the end of the day-God is good all the time. I think of some verses: Ephesians 3:16-21 and Philippains 4:12-13
My roomate told me once if you are moving or things around the house are crazy, just get some roses and put them on the table in the middle of the house/living room. It'll help keep ya sane!
God sent me pretty pink roses from precious ladies on third floor street side last night...
