My Dream Car!!!

What a BEAUTIFUL car! My mom took a picture of this one. It was parked right outside our house. It's very much like my dream car. My DREAM car is a red 1960's truck with white-wall tires, beige leather seats and wooden bed-rails! Oh, yeah! What's your dream car look like?

Questions or Comments Email

I've just created an email for this site, so if you have any questions or comments about any of my posts or need advice, please drop me a line at cherishingmyrole@gmail.com !

Well, well...It's been awhile!

I'm sure that anyone who's attempted to follow this blog has been discouraged by my lack of commitment. My apologies! My plan from now on is to put at least one post a week, and if I don't, just assume I'm extremely busy or on vacation. Imagine I'm in some exotic location where there is no modern technology; I'm in the tropical jungles of Ecuador, am being eaten alive by mosquitoes and have no access to even a cell phone. Please pray for me!

Now, on a serious note, I am going to define now the top 5 topics that I'm going to share about with you in this blog:

1. Spiritual Encouragement! I will be sharing scripture that I've learned and things that God's shown me through His Word and the guidance of godly people.

2. Organizational Ideas. One of my MAJOR strengths is organizing and serving. I think that pretty much sums up what this topic is about.

3. Sewing and Arts! Two of my passions! I will also be teaching sewing classes that will be available to you. Coming soon!

4. My Journal. Things that might happen in any given day (usually involving a younger sibling) that give me joy that I would love to share with you!

5. Thoughts from a Mother's Heart. These posts are precious gems from my mother. I'm giving her a portion of my blog so that she can bless all of you!

I think that sums it all up! I hope that you'll check back often. Have a blessed day!

Toy Story 3!

I'm really excited to see the third Toy Story to come out on June 18th!

Here's the plot:
It's been ten years since the last Toy Story and Andy's 18 now! The posters of Woody and Buzz on his walls are now replaced by posters of his sports heroes and favorite rock bands:( He never plays with his old toys now but can't stand to give them up (Poor Mrs. Potato Head is missing one eye). Mom doesn't want them around anymore so boxes them up and donates them to "Sunnyside Daycare." After their first day being tossed around, stickered and practically mauled, the toys decide they don't like the daycare as much as Andy's room. Mrs. Potato Head's other eye ends up still in Andy's room and she can see what's going on! Once they find out that Andy still wants them, an immediate escape plan is initiated. I can't wait to find out if they make it!

See the trailers and other stuff about the movies @ www.toystory.com. There was no way to post the trailer here, but I wish I could! Can't wait!

THIS...IS ME...

"I'll get you for this, Pan...if it's the last thing I do!!!"

Bang! Splash! "Oh, dear, dear, dear, Cap'n Hook...shoot'n a man in the middle of his cadenza; it ain't good form, you know!" Wise words from Mister Smee but the poor Captain has let his anger and revenge get the better of him.

Consider the life of Cap. James Hook. A rich and powerful pirate living in the magical world of Never Land, he lives in his pirate ship in the sparkling waters around the island with his loyal crew of buccaneers. There is only one thing to put a damper on his wealth of happiness; "Blast that Peter Pan...if I could only find his hideout I'd trap him in his lair...but where is it..." Peter Pan, the fun-loving flying sprite boy and protector of Never Land Island has cut off the Captain's left hand and thrown it to the nasty, hungry croccodilian who resides in the shiny, abundant waters off the Island. To make matters worse, the croccodile, having tasted the Captain's flesh is out of devour the rest of him as a tasty hors d'ouvuoirs.

While running from the croc, Captain Hook is running towards Peter Pan to get his revenge but can't find out where he lives. Revenge and anger against the sprite boy has driven the Captain's life for many years now and he can't let it go...ever.

Now, put yourself in his shoes; Peter Pan, his hideout and the TicTock Croc controls your mind and life purpose. You can't sleep at night nor ever hear a clock ticking without the reminder that you wear a hook for a hand and are being chased by a sharp-toothed beast all because you've been outdone, outsmarted and unhanded by a flying child!!!

If Captain Hook could have just given up his wretched life and made up with Peter, he would have good, refreshing sleep, be healthier, happier and live longer because studies have shown that people with anger problems, fear and thoughts of revenge are unhealthy and because their bones will rot, they will die earlier than people who have no anger and no fear.

The only way to have absolutely no anger and no fear is to live in God's principles. Delving into God's word daily gives encouragement to your soul and health to your bones.

I believe someday I shall find Never Land and go as a missionary to save all the Captain Hooks ;). Will you go with me?
