Motions

Happy Sunday!

I love Sunday, it is probably one of my favorite days of the week. Sunday is the day to relax and enjoy. I like to be able to not let the hustle and bustle life get in the way on Sunday. I really enjoy going to church as well. Why do I enjoy it so much? Well I like being challenged, don't get me wrong some times the sermon is not always some thing I want to hear but some times it exactly what I need to hear so. For myself I find it is so important to be constantly seeking to be more like Christ and that is what church does for me, it gets me to check myself. Sometimes I get overwhelmed because I am human and fallen, I cannot be perfect. At the same time I would rather keep falling down than to fake that I have it all together. I don't want to pretend that my life is perfect, I want to be real. I really like the way Matthew Wests song Motions ties it all together.

This might hurt
It’s not safe
But I know that I’ve gotta make a change
I don’t care
If I break
At least I’ll be feeling something
‘Cause just ok
Is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don’t wanna go through the motions
I don’t wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking
What if I had given everything?
Instead of going through the motions

No regrets
Not this time
I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love
Make me whole
I think I’m finally feeling something

Take me all the way
Take me all the way
Take me all the way

This song is so real. When ever it comes on when I'm listening to music, I always feel convicted to live I life that honors Christ. I truly do not want to just go through the motions.

Blessings,
Amber

Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card

Hello lovely friends.

The time now is 8:43 which means the library closes in one hour and 17 minutes.... I currently have 299 words written on my paper which means I have 1201 more words to go. That really is not a whole lot but I am really not a paper writer. Third year of school and in the home stretch. April 15th is going to come so fast! Anyways, to break my paper writing boredom (and paper writing concentration) I took some lovely pictures of me 'writing' and being oh so 'studious'. (side note: BENNY GUESS WHAT!!!! The library has a huge Coke display in the glass case things, just thought you should know... I would have taken a picture but i didn't want to bring my laptop there... that would just be weird and you know I'm not weird HAHA!)

So yes this is me in the library clearly I am working hard, you may have also noticed that I have head phones in well that is because I am listening to the wonderful new album of the wonderful miss Adele.
Go give her a little listen, you will love her! I promise!

The time now 9:08 which means I have 52 more minutes left in the library to get this paper done. Word count... still 299.

Blessings

Hello lovelies! Hope you are all able to be cozy and warm today wherever you may be, today I am freezing, there is some crazy winds blowing across the prairies today. But as I write this I am drinking my Timmy's cap, it is roll up the rim to win season, hope I actually win :) that would be lovely! Speaking of winning, I have a winner for the note book giveaway! I pulled the name out of my lovely mug and the winner is .......... Amber from The Pless Press! You should go give her a visit, she is getting married soon, so you can congratulate her.

I will be emailing you right away Amber. Thanks everyone for entering and I will be having more giveaways so stick around.

Also today is Tuesday which means its I {heart} owls day! I get to share my lovely owl collection with you all. Today's owl come from my lovely boyfriend, he knows my love for owls and allows me to indulge in it. The other weekend Clints nephews, sisters and I were crafting with modeling clay foam stuff it is really weird but neat anyways, Clint was drawing in his sketch book and drew me a lovely owl. It makes me laugh!

This is Ron the accountant owl, he is just so hilarious! Clint said that I should get it framed, however it is a very odd size drawing so finding a frame is difficult. It's so cute that on his desk there is a flower and picture frame, then all his tax stuff on the other side. The writing in the top corner says 'to Amber who I like to spend time with' haha so sweet and simple.

I guess this lovely little accountant isn't as busy this tax season as all the other accountants because he is sitting there rubbing his belly. And look at his little legs, so funny! Ah! This lovely owl brings a smile to my face! I love it, thank you Clint for drawing it for me!

Blessings,

Amber
