I've felt lost and helpless in many situations. There are points when I want to give up and then high moments when I want to conquer the world. I know that I am only one person and I can only do what you give me the strength to accomplish. Please forgive me of the sins I've failed you daily... help me to be a better wife, mother, daughter, friend and mentor. I long to live out the plan you have for my life. I know you are teaching me through each step I take and each situation and opportunity you place before me. Help me to live for you and only you... to yearn to please you and not others. In the areas I have to work on please guide me and give me strength to glorify you!<br /><br /> So much hurt is going on in the world right now... family and friends going through health issues and hard times. Please be with the Rajala family and precious little Lily... we know you have your hand on this situation and you have a divine plan for her life. Please heal her and allow your light to shine through out their situation. Be with the doctors and give them wisdom as to the best methods to take! Please be with the families of the lives lost in all of the tornadoes last week. We can never understand why these things happen but we know that you have it all under control.<br /><br /> I love you so much Lord and I thank you for never giving up on me... thank you for all of the many blessings you've given us and please continue to teach and grow us in our ministry. In your precious name. Amen!<br /><br /></span><em>“You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.” Psalm 18:35</em>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-76506506208849694012011-04-07T09:30:00.000-07:002011-04-07T09:42:19.948-07:00Busy busy!<span style="font-family: arial;">Well we've got lots going on this week at the Carmichael household!<br /><br />I've been busy working on orders and watching Avery grow up right before my eyes! She's been absolutely cracking me up this week. Everything I say she repeats and she is just so inquisitive! Yesterday before church I was playing with her in the living room... I got super tired so I laid on the floor and rested my head on a pillow. She was running around and all of the sudden she squatted down in front of my face and says, "wha youuu doiiiiing?" I've never heard her say this one before but I just died laughing!<br /><br />I've been missing Texas and my family very badly this week... there's a lot going on and I hate being so far away during all of it! Especially with all of the new things Avery's doing, I hate that they're missing out on a lot of it... Skype is definitely an answered prayer because it makes enduring the distance a little easier! Avery very often kisses and high fives the screen to my mom and sister! She loves them and always talks about her Taw Taw when she gets up from her naps!<br /><br />I had started another blog for my weight loss journey but I think I'd like to keep the info on here so I have more to blog about! :)<br /><br />I started weight watchers in November courtesy of my dear mother who was more than willing to help me out so that I could get started! I've done many diets but have never been successful or had the willpower and self control to keep up with before weight watchers. So far it has been amazing... yes I fail often but I am still losing weight and it's been 4 months! This last week I lost 6lbs after being stagnant for a month, which brings my total weight loss to 31lbs! Very exciting! I'm beginning to look forward to the future and how much more I will be able to do at a healthier weight! I've never been able to analyze myself and figure out why I've had weight issues but I do know that I am a very emotional person... things don't easily brush off my shoulders I truly FEEL things and it easily overwhelms me and takes over and I believe it slowly lead to emotional eating plus I just love food! With weight watchers I have been able to eat healthy but also not deprive myself of some of the foods I love! :) Lately I've been trying to work harder on the exercising aspect of it all... Monday I walked 3 miles and hopefully plan to do another 3 miles tonight! :)<br /><br />For the self con<span style="font-family: arial;">trol- </span>1 Peter 5:8, “Be self-controlled and alert.

I was ECSTATIC! We don't have the luxury of professional photos very often because of a lack of funds so this was a great opportunity to catch her at this silly age! Amanda was very patient with Avery and caught some of my FAVORITE faces that she makes daily! So happy we have pictures to remember how goofy our baby girl is! It was truly a blessing!<br /><br />Make sure you go and check out <a href="http://www.solak-photography.com">Amanda's website</a> and if you're in the Springfield, MO area... I definitely recommend her!!! </span><br /><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rFFh6xe9ZJk/TZvspsy_MUI/AAAAAAAAAXs/lhlYVLwxLO8/s1600/IMG_3095.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rFFh6xe9ZJk/TZvspsy_MUI/AAAAAAAAAXs/lhlYVLwxLO8/s400/IMG_3095.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323563454411074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jbezxf8D0PQ/TZvspwmuEHI/AAAAAAAAAX0/fl9idxntDes/s1600/IMG_2928.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Jbezxf8D0PQ/TZvspwmuEHI/AAAAAAAAAX0/fl9idxntDes/s400/IMG_2928.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323564476698738" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eznJuJbv22o/TZvspU8pi7I/AAAAAAAAAXk/Qyfz6hf_WX4/s1600/IMG_2987.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eznJuJbv22o/TZvspU8pi7I/AAAAAAAAAXk/Qyfz6hf_WX4/s400/IMG_2987.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323557052484530" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZcbGyd72eNA/TZvspOQCHBI/AAAAAAAAAXc/N8dQMF8L_zI/s1600/IMG_3012.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZcbGyd72eNA/TZvspOQCHBI/AAAAAAAAAXc/N8dQMF8L_zI/s400/IMG_3012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323555254737938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c2HL-XowTTU/TZvsTyOn4gI/AAAAAAAAAXU/B0c4Fav1QJg/s1600/IMG_2976.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-c2HL-XowTTU/TZvsTyOn4gI/AAAAAAAAAXU/B0c4Fav1QJg/s400/IMG_2976.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323186955379202" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kJQ3sjjl6-g/TZvsTqc8fQI/AAAAAAAAAXM/geut7-ek9Z0/s1600/IMG_2931.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kJQ3sjjl6-g/TZvsTqc8fQI/AAAAAAAAAXM/geut7-ek9Z0/s400/IMG_2931.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323184867966210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-swr7FjoHROU/TZvsTkZcosI/AAAAAAAAAXE/mB9EmxVfIZ4/s1600/IMG_2879.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-swr7FjoHROU/TZvsTkZcosI/AAAAAAAAAXE/mB9EmxVfIZ4/s400/IMG_2879.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323183242683074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t0KfXhAVPoA/TZvsTR_v1-I/AAAAAAAAAW8/04EwQJUB_0s/s1600/IMG_2889.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t0KfXhAVPoA/TZvsTR_v1-I/AAAAAAAAAW8/04EwQJUB_0s/s400/IMG_2889.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323178303051746" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L23tkvM--i4/TZvsSzp6uFI/AAAAAAAAAW0/hmiC56QXHWY/s1600/IMG_2811.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L23tkvM--i4/TZvsSzp6uFI/AAAAAAAAAW0/hmiC56QXHWY/s400/IMG_2811.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592323170158426194" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-76662844872354677502011-04-04T13:05:00.000-07:002011-04-04T13:08:19.367-07:00Carrie Beth's wedding!

It was quite insane actually... Decorating for the shower on Friday till 2am... then waking up at 5:30am for the teen yard sale at church... leaving the yard sale early to get ready for the shower... wedding shower...then clean up! Sunday took a forever long nap in between church and then Monday we took Avery for her first trip to the zoo! She absolutely loved it! Her favorites were the monkeys and chickens! She kept yelling at the deer though, "HEY DEER"... we had a blast, it was a great family day! I cherish them!

My mother in law, Tiffany and I worked really hard to make it perfect for her!<br /><br />Sometimes I feel like there's no better way to show someone Christ's love than to spoil them rotten! he he!

We had a church wide prayer breakfast to pray for all of our missionaries! :) <br />
<br />
Afterwards Avery and I went with Sheldon's Mom and dad to Tampa for a consignment sale! Granny found out I was going to she snuck a few bucks into our account so I could get some Summer clothes for Ave :) she's precious! Really missing my family in Texas this past week... It's hard when you don't have plans for the next time you'll see each other. Airline prices sky rocketed for us over their spring break which is preventing us from neon able to plan something! Working on a few Orders this next week, trying to get some things done before Avery and I leave for Springfield for my dear friend Carrie's wedding :) hopefully I can post some pictures in the next few days of what I'm accomplishing! :) happy Sunday y'all! Hope each of you have a good church home you attend and are being fed regularly! If you need a good boost check out the Proverbs 31 Women's blog... I love love love their daily devotions! :)Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-12436576114605314962011-03-04T10:11:00.000-08:002011-03-04T10:15:52.064-08:00Working hard! <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well last time I posted I claimed that I was back to blogging and I apparently was lying lol :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I got pretty busy getting things accomplished for the Christmas Markets I was apart of and slacked off yet again... More recently I was preparing for a girl's conference I was asked to speak at in Louisville, Ohio! I had such a great time and it was truly an amazing experience to speak to that many girls! I am extremely passionate about total purity in girls lives so that session came naturally for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it! :) Here are a few pictures from the weekend!</span><br />

I'm not very good at being consistent with things ha ha! If I tell you I'm going to do something I'm gonna do it but... random things I have issues with keeping up with. Examples... All housework: dishes, laundry, craft table clean, toilets eww... lol (I do have about one day a week or so when I go nuts though) ; any kind of diet; blogging; I start things and don't finish them (have gotten significantly better in this area since being married) and MANY more things that I have issues with keeping up with. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">ANYWAYS...</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Yesterday was a good day... one of my good friends Nicole came to town visiting her family and she came by with her two sweet children Maddalyn 2 and Jackson 7 months. Jackson was born exactly one week prior to Avery! :) We had a good time catching up... She's such a sweet heart and I really miss her living here! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">She came back last night along with Tiffany, Megan, Krits, and Trav to hang out and watch the Bachelor! :) I always have a good time when they come over no matter what we're doing... Whether it be Megan's ridiculous impressions of people, Kristi's dancing or Travis' crazy facial expressions I always end up with a sore stomach from laughing soo hard! :) Happy the Bachelor is finally over and glad Tenley can find someone better! PRAISE the LORD! :) </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">This week starts our mission's conference with three missionary families! I love Mission's week every year! It's so much fun getting to know the families when they come! One family that will be here, we know from our church in Springfield. It'll be nice getting to hang out and see them again. They have three precious children two that I haven't met yet! The oldest was Avery's age when we first met them! So crazy! :) </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">I guess that's about it... not a whole lot else going on in our life right now... 10 days until Texas! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">OHHHH I won a giveaway!!! Isn't that nuts? I seriously never win anything... I'm not gonna post what I received BUT it was definitely very gracious and will go towards a new carseat for Avery! YAY! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Go to my friend Kristin's blog to check out her photography skills! She's also the girl I purchased my camera from! :) We met in college, she's a doll and we share the same birthday! <a href="http://kristinpartinphotography.blogspot.com/">http://kristinpartinphotography.blogspot.com/</a></span>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-28890949557112729922010-02-28T21:01:00.000-08:002010-02-28T21:10:14.985-08:00Thankful...<span style="font-family:arial;">1. For the Lord's constant provision and mercy on my life. Everytime I need Him, He's there... can't get over how unconditional that love is.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">2. For an amazing husband who understands and never gives up on me even when I'm a nutcase! :)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">3. For an amazing little girl to call my own. Everyday is a new day and she's growing and changing so fast. Most days when I want to stall on my housework we just sit in the recliner and stare at eachother while she tries to rip my glasses off and laugh at me when I act surprised! I love each and every new stage... currently we're beginning our crawling phase! This weekend she's mastered getting up on her knees and lunging forward then up again and lunging forward all over again! :) It's so precious! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">4. For incredible friends... from childhood, college, and yes even Florida! :) For a long time I refused to be settled in Florida and finally God's bringing me the peace I've needed to move on and be thankful for what He's blessed us with! :) I've made amazing longlasting friendships here that I never thought I would and I am truly grateful for each and every one of you! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">5. For and AMAZING family! Each and every person in our family, unique in their own way. It wouldn't be the same with out them! :) </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">That's all for tonight! See you soon! Texas is in 12 dayssss!!!

I love reading all of these amazing blogs with all of the ideas they have!<br /><br />Not a whole lot going on lately, Avery is 7 months old today! I can hardly believe it!!! It's so nuts!!! She's just growing like a weed!<br />She's trying to crawl so bad! It's really precious! I'm hoping she starts crawling soon because we leave for Texas on March 12th and I really want Daddy to be able to see it before we go AND I want my family to be able to see it when we get there! We'll see I suppose!<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So yes, another trip to Texas! Can I say that I am very blessed? Although we don't have the money to be able to fly to Texas all the time like we've been doing, My parents are blessed to be able to have that little extra money to get us there! It's so hard having a baby now and not living near my family, they are missing out on so much and it makes life very emotional for my mom and I both. Not to mention my 14 yr old sister who gives me consistent guilt trips every time we talk! So I guess if we're not able to live in Texas right now, having the ability to still go and see them ever</span><span style="font-family:arial;">y two months or so makes it somewhat ok!</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/S4PffHJJ30I/AAAAAAAAAOY/zcj8g804dLo/s1600-h/IMG_3054.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/S4PffHJJ30I/AAAAAAAAAOY/zcj8g804dLo/s400/IMG_3054.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441438500380073794" border="0" /></a><br />lol Isn't Ave's face priceless? Those big blue eyes crack me up and melt my heart! :) They provide for some very amazing pictures and some very hysterical pictures!<br /><br />Not a whole lot else going on I guess. This Saturday Jackie (our girls counselor) and I are taking the girls in the youth group to "Pinkie's Painted Pottery." It's this place you go and paint ceramics and then they fire it for you and you come back later to pick it up... I've been doing this for like 6 years. There was a place in Springfield I used to go to sometimes, I'd take the kids I used to babysit and we'd have so much fun just slopping paint on the pieces they picked out! I'm excited to make something new, possibly for Avery! Lately I've been working extra hard at staying in touch with the girls. After I had Avery I've found it to be very hard to find the balance between family and the kids in the youth group. I knew it would be a process but I'm finally getting it down... and still managing to find time to spend with my friends and the new friendships I've been developing. I love working with our girls in the youth group! They are seriously such a blessing in my life and I don't know what I'd do if we weren't in the ministry! Obviously God knew we needed to do this with our life because here we are, but I seriously am so thankful for where he's placed us in life. It's not always a glamorous job lol but definitely ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS fulfilling! AND ALSO we are so blessed to have such great counselors as well. Without Jackie by my side I would seriously be lost! Ever single area that we have weaknesses in, that's the other's strength! God is so good to meeee! :) Anyways definitely rambling, I suppose I'll leave you with this...<br /><br />I see the king of glory<br />Coming on the clouds with fire<br />The whole earth shakes<br />The whole earth shakes<br /><br />I see his love and mercy<br />Washing over all our sin<br />The people sing<br />The people sing<br /><br />Hosanna<br />Hosanna<br />Hosanna in the highest<br /><br />I see a generation<br />Rising up to take their place<br />With selfless faith<br />With selfless faith<br /><br />I see a near revival<br />Stirring as we pray and seek<br />We're on our knees<br />We're on our knees<br /><br />Heal my heart and make it clean<br />Open up my eyes to the things unseen<br />Show me how to love like you have loved me<br /><br />Break my heart from what breaks yours<br />Everything I am for your kingdoms cause<br />As I go from nothing to<br />Eternity<br /><br />Hosanna in the highestAmie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-41097703702593942102010-02-20T07:36:00.000-08:002010-02-20T07:39:37.800-08:00Fill in the blankie!Here's the great news.

:) I love her so much... the pictures up top are from back in the day and then the next ones are of us before she got on the plane to leave me!<br /><br /><br />Carrie and I first met while we were both still in college and also counselors in the youth group at our church, Seminole Baptist Temple! We had a blast with those girls and I find myself sometimes missing the simpler ministry that we had then... lol probably because we didn't have to take care of many big problems... our job was to hang out with the girls and develop relationships with them and that was one thing we were good at! :)<br /><br /><br />Ministry can be difficult now... the higher standard set for being a youth pastor's wife is something I find very hard to live up to. I am human too which means I too make mistakes and am very FAR from perfect. One thing I know, I wouldn't trade it for the world.... I love our kids, especially our girls... some are hard to reach but I appreciate the fact that they are unique in their own way and love that not all of them are the same! <br /><br /><br />Anyways, although I am EXTREMELY blessed by the female counselor that we have with us now, I do miss having Carrie by my side! We're pretty good sidekicks if I do say so myself, we level each other out perfectly... and I don't feel like I have to be something I'm not when she's around! :) I absolutely love the feeling when you have a friend that you can be completely real with and know that they aren't going to judge you. A friend that can sometimes be closer than family...<br /><br />It's actually the subject of our last girl's bible study... do you have a friend that is closer than family? It is very important to have that confidant that you can rely on when you need advice... someone who can tell you what you need to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear! :) I am truly blessed to have several friends that I can say are totally genuine and love me for me... and just GET me no matter what! :) Love you ladies! You all know exactly who you are! Carrie is one of them! ha ha another random post from Amie... ahh well... it's nice to just journal on here, I do enjoy it! :)</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynPETOz2eI/AAAAAAAAANQ/z-XzBt63LzM/s1600-h/IMG_2855.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynPETOz2eI/AAAAAAAAANQ/z-XzBt63LzM/s400/IMG_2855.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416087699678550498" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynO5y-J0eI/AAAAAAAAANI/_wt5brJLxgk/s1600-h/IMG_2869.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynO5y-J0eI/AAAAAAAAANI/_wt5brJLxgk/s400/IMG_2869.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416087519220060642" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynOzsv6yDI/AAAAAAAAANA/XPdqfaN26Lk/s1600-h/IMG_2865.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/SynOzsv6yDI/AAAAAAAAANA/XPdqfaN26Lk/s400/IMG_2865.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416087414470527026" border="0" /></a>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-77731739404023249532009-12-10T21:46:00.000-08:002009-12-10T22:04:19.544-08:00to add...<span style="font-family: arial;">Some of you may also know that for the past two years, Sheldon and I have not done Christmas presents. Not because we're against them but by choice in order to pay more on school debt.<br /><br />I'm a giver... I love everything about it... the thought that goes into what present will be perfect for each member of my family, the time spent SEARCHING for that perfect item, and the excitement held by the receiver's face when they open our present! It's the best! </span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial;">SOooo ... as you can imagine... The past two years have been very hard.<br /><br />In talking with many of my friends this year and even last... I've begun to see a different side. I refuse to cause my family to struggle and fore go visiting my family in Texas, just so we can buy one another presents. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">Sometimes the gift buying can overtake us and shift our focus to material things instead of thinking of Christ. </span><span style="font-family: arial;">This Christmas season I see so many people hurting and I am thankful for the choice we've made...it's moved me to be so much more aware of the REAL reason we celebrate Christmas... Jesus' birth!<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I CAN'T wait until we can buy presents for people again. It's a luxury! I know now that when that time comes I will be more aware and appreciative of all he's given us! He is the reason for the season! Christmas is the best!!!<br /><br />Random entry I am well aware, but none the less, something that's been on my mind today!<br /></span>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-47019152811915686772009-12-10T20:23:00.000-08:002009-12-10T20:36:09.992-08:00Simply haaavin, a wonderful Christmas time! :)<span style="font-family:arial;">Well, if you know me... you know that Christmas is my most favorite time of year! I usually have ALLL of my decor out the week after Halloween... Yes I know you think I'm nuts, well I SIMPLY don't care lol. I have my reasoning. Being away from home, decorating for Christmas makes it feel more comfortable. SO that's what I do! :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">BUT since we moved right after Halloween this year I've been unpacking and organizing instead of decorating... Sad times! But I did manage to get everything up the week after Thanksgiving.

An old friend of mine challenged her readers on her blog,<br /> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br /> "</span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I encourage you to make a list of what you are thankful for...maybe even take the time to think about 3 people, places, and events that the Lord has revealed His character through. It really puts the dirty house, busy schedule, and broken vacuum cleaner in perspective."<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: lucida grande;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I am thankful for...<br />1. My salvation and the free grace given to me willingly every single day even though over and over again I fail him and do not deserve it one single bit.<br />2. My husband, who even though I have bouts of depression and moodiness... loves me unconditionally and takes care of me with all of his heart.<br />3. My beautiful 3 month old baby girl, Avery... cannot believe that the Lord would bless me with such and amazingly sweet little individual, she instills a smile on my face each second of the day and keeps my eyes welled up with tears each time she smiles or learns something new. I'm a proud mama! :)<br />4. My family, the Carmichael side... even though they don't understand where I'm coming from all the time, still put up with me and love me. My side, My mommy (I'll always call her that) for being a truly amazing mother with so much to offer and for being my role model my whole life, she's absolutely my best friend. My daddy, for having my back always and for the goofy sense of humor and attitude he gave me. My Ricky, my BIG little brother who's all grown up and gonna be a fireman some day... so much potential and he's fulfilling it each step he takes. My baby sister Bailee (Aunt Bay), for being a firecracker, for loving me and for the unexplainable bond we share. Granny, my sole grandparent left on this earth... she's a pistol and she's willing to do anything for ANYBODY no matter what that might be, I admire her unconditional love.<br />5. Our youth, each have their own personality and potential and I love watching them grow... I hate the consequences in between but enjoy the outcome of what the Father has in mind for them. I have high expectations but don't judge them when they fail, we're all human! :)<br /><br />3 People:<br />1. Tim and Lori Wertz (couples count for one ;)<br />showed me how to have a Godly marriage and raise Godly children and to seek God in EVERY SINGLE SITUATON. Believe it or not, I have to be reminded of this still... I let myself get in the way many times.<br />2. Kimberly Diana Bumpers-<br />for helping me find my true self when I got to college... whether that be by being a total and complete retard or by learning from eachother's lives each second we spent together. For not letting me get away with anything and for challenging me spiritually. I love you best friend! :)<br />3. Sheldon Grant Carmichael-<br />he's the one person in my life who is the hardest on me but also the one that shows the most love to me... although finding it hard to find the motivation he keeps me going every day and encourages me to be better. I love him for the push and for the person he's made me today.<br /><br /><br />3 Places:<br />1. Texas-<br />where I grew up, where I asked the Lord into my heart and where I was molded into the person I am today.<br />2. Missouri-<br />where I went to college, met my best friend, met my soul mate and where I truly found myself.<br />3. Florida-<br />Our first ministry position, our first "home" outside of college, where Avery was born. It has challenged me the most and that's why I know in the future I will consider this one of my greatest growing experiences ever, cannot wait to see what the Lord has for us! :)<br /><br />Events are pretty much the same as the places! :) The end... nighty night all!<br /></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span></div>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7768375399748536533.post-12792934902635587372009-10-30T12:04:00.000-07:002009-10-30T12:07:42.475-07:00Sneak Peek! :)<span style="font-family:arial;">Here's Ave's cupcake costume finished... just a peek now...

I mentioned before that our landlord is selling our condo, well as most of you know this consists of people coming to VIE</span><span style="font-family:arial;">W our condo. SOOO this morning we got a call that they wanted to come view within the next hour. LOL this forced me to pick up everything I had messed up from the day before... then I was anal about it all day long, kept re-picking up EVERYTHING! So maybe they should visit every day and I'll always have a clean house! :) I even did the dishes after dinner tonight and I'm pretty sure I never do that! LOVING THIS! For dinner we had those broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken breasts with corn pudding and biscuits! YUMMY! For dessert I made this "Strawberry Ooey-Gooey Cake" OH MY GOODNESS, TO DIE FOR!<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/Sr2ND5vykII/AAAAAAAAAJ4/Z3OXc-TAiJ8/s1600-h/strawberry.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RpkYTKV-4r0/Sr2ND5vykII/AAAAAAAAAJ4/Z3OXc-TAiJ8/s400/strawberry.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385615827585372290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I got the recipes for the corn pudding and the cake off of this new blog I'm following, <a href="http://houseofbowlingrecipes.blogspot.com/">House of Bowling Recipes</a><br /></span>Amie Christinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02776189408382908242noreply@blogger.com0
