No Music Monday today. But I do have lots and lots of picture to make up for it :) In September my friend had a big costume party for her birthday. I wasn't so sure how into it everyone was going to get but I was not gonna let that hold me back! I like dressing up as a couple with the Hubs and since he had already figured out what he wanted to be that made my job a little more simple...at least in theory.
So here we are...
Look Tinkerbell was there too! Ha
A woopie cushin and an a Happy Wife air freshener. :) For those of those that can't see it, I choose Fart-Masking Scent as my aroma I chose. I ended up sewing that sucker together a few hours before the party (nothing like pro-castinating!) and yes there were paint streaks because the letter were still wet when I was sewing. Lol
When we got to the party we were pleasantly surprised that everyone else got super into the theme and there were some really great get-ups. It was a super fun night and I would definitely do it again!
You can't have a southern party without a redneck! Ha
What! Pippi!?
A cook.
And there is his bun in the oven! :)

Can you tell I listen to Jesus Culture and Hillsong ALL. THE. TIME?!? Ha I love them, their passion and their annointing. I can't get enough!!
This week's Music Monday is "Light of Your Face" by Jesus Culture. To me it speaks of the pure love that we are able to have with our God Almighty and just the simplicity of having a heart that is fully after His. To me, it is a great picture of a son or daughter that longs to have whatever the Father has for them.
Today I just want to encourage to experience all that God has for you. He is doing amazing things now, today, and wants you to be a part of his awesome plan. He is sooo good!!
On another note I just want to share a gown from the Golden Globes that I am LOVING. I think the sleeves are just perfect and you just can't go wrong with tan right now. Isn't is just so romantic?!
So I am writing about our church's Christmas Party!! that may or may not have happening over a month ago.... :/ But that is besides the point because I have lots of pictures which I know you all love :) It was a night full of yummy food, skits, and friends. What is better?! Oh and I almost forgot to mention the part where we got called up on stage to reinacte the love story of one of another couple in the church. Maybe that was because I tried to suppress the memory of my husband pretending to assist me in giving birth to a baby.. Yes, that actually happened. Lets move on..
Being weird.. Like normal
YUM
Ms. Teresa in her real fur. oh yes
Our Friends :)
Yes those are men. Have you ever seen White Christmas?
How lovely.
Our pastor and his wife opening a gift.
Me and Jessica :)
Chatting.. obviously its a super good story
Some of the girls.
Creative friends!!
LOVE him.
It was a really great night. Soon I will be sharing photos from The Hubs' family surprise visit following Christmas!! :)
Happy New Year and welcome to 2012!!! I can personally say that I am so excited about the transition into this new year and what it brings along with it. Last year was no doubt a great year. The Hubs and I grew in leaps and bounds and are not even close to the same people as we were a year ago. Our Savior has done amazing things in our lives and He is molding us into the followers that he has called us to be. We are determined to keep running towards Him and we have complete faith that He is about to start doing even more awesome things not only in us but in the world as well.
On that note, this Music Monday's feature is a song we often sing at church and as we were singing it yesterday I couldn't help but feel like it was a great depiction of what this new year is able to bring us in Christ. I can't even begin to explain the freedom that the Hubs and I have found in the Lord over the last year and we both feel like we have barely scratched the surface. He is so capable of breaking every chain and every stronghold that the world tries to put on us and then uses that to make us more and more like Him.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is hope.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is healing.
And your blood is enough to break every chain.
And your love is enough to break every chain.
I encourage you to not look back at hurts and disappointments but instead let the Lord heal your wounds and move forward. With that "we will not be the same". It is ridiculous what we are capable of in Him and I am telling you it is awesome and ever increasing!! The Hubs and I are not looking back and are confident in God our Father and the blessing that he is pouring over our lives. I am so excited what I get to do for His glory in 2012! Bring it on!! :)
