I Surrender

Being raised in a Christian home my whole life, you would think I have this whole Christianity thing down pat by now. But I don’t. Not even close. None of us do. Everyday I deal with the amount of work that needs to be done with my kids, photography, cleaning, cooking, laundry, and bills. And everyday I fail to be perfect at each one of those things. Maybe it’s time I stop trying to be perfect at everything, because it’s wearing me down. I’m learning more and more each day that God is in control. Not me. God. It’s time for me to put up that white flag and give all my burdens to Him. I surrender.

I’m giving you my heart
And all that is within
I’m laying it all down
For the sake of you my king

I’m giving you my dreams
I’m laying down my rights
I’m giving up my
For the promise of new live

And I surrender it all to you, all to you
And I surrender it all to you, all to you

I’m singing you this song
I’m waiting at the cross
And all the world holds still
Counting all that love

The sake of knowing you
The glory of your name
To know the lasting joy
Even sharing in your past

And I surrender it all to you, all to you…

Best Toast Ever

I realize I skipped out on Recipe Monday and I really only realized this last night. It’s been an incredibly busy week (no different than any other week), but I am working my butt off trying to meet multiple deadlines and so blogging had to take a back seat this week. I’ve got more goodies coming on here someday soon, but for now, watch the “best toast ever” video I found on Rock n’ Roll Bride. The good part starts at about 1:48 so keep watching!

Also, please don’t forget to support the Cans for Comments cause. It is SO EASY! Just leave ANY comment ANYWHERE on my blog until 12/12/09 and I will donate one grocery item for each comment I receive to my local food bank! I have lots to give, so come one everybody I wanna’ hear what y’all have to say!

Cans for Comments!

I know I am a little late in doing this, but I just found out about it and better late than never, right? Last year, Chris+Lynn Photographers started something they called Cans for Comments as a way of sharing the blog love they received and giving back to the community. Many others got on the can-wagon and raised a ton of food for their local food banks. To read more about this wonderful cause or if you photo bloggers want in, go HERE.

How does this work? Simple! Leave a comment anywhere on my blog from now until December 12th, and I will donate one can/grocery item for each comment. One comment per blog post per blog reader, please:)
