Русавуки - Дорога счастья

I found the amazing cd of Rusavuki family. This is their new worship album. The download is free! Enjoy!

Directions: Click on each of the tracks separately (directly below the colorful cover of the album, NOT where the music player is) and a little window will pop that will prompt you to either open the file of the song with a music player or save the file. Click "save" to download. Continue the same way for each of the tracks. This cd is not for profit, therefore I have an understanding that is not illegal to download.

Store into the Eternal Bank

Each day flies by and vanishes and I'm not sure where these days go. I'm not even sure if I have any excuses for the empty, wasted days I spent and I don't know how I will face God when He reveals the recordings of my life. Solomon says in the book of Ecclesiastes: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 1:14 Vanity is that which is pointless, worthless. Vexation is something that is a nuisance.
In the end, what will matter is how we glorified God. Did we stop and consider His call to spread His Word? Did we sacrifice our time and energy into what is eternal, unending, imperishable? Here on earth we will still continue to store our bank accounts with money to help our children get into college. We will save up for our comfortable retirement. We will store our kitchens with the needed supply of food. Lets not forget to store into our eternal bank. That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:31

Where did the time go???

Hi everyone!

It seems like it's been ages since I've blogged, and a few times when I had the motivation to do so and didnt..the inspiration went away...

so...I'm getting back on track. enough slacking! lol..
So much has happened, I feel like I grew an inch =) (not litteraly)
...I don't even know where to start. Well, yesterday was our 1 month aniversary since my husband and I got married...:)) There was soo much preparation invovled in planning the wedding and the time before was so stressfull, but it was wonderful to sit back and watch everything that you've been planning with God's help come together as the final piece at the wedding. =) God is Truly Amazing and I believe HE blessed our wedding and our marriage.

The past month has been a great learning experience...I understand my mom a whole lot better now (and why she HAD the right to get upset with me when I didn't help out around the house)..b/c when you're the lady in charge...if you don't do it...it wont get done! and every bit of help is much appreciated! ...So much to do, in so little time...
I also think I understand my dad a little bit more too....so many dicisions to make and many little tasks; there's the bills, and the new account set-ups, will it be comcast or AT&T, sprint or T-Mobile, etc...etc...etc...

Overall.. lot's to do, but it all comes with the warm feeling inside that now you are a new family, and have eachother to lean on...and ofcourse God in the center.

I feel like I never have enough time...feels like I had more time when I was working and in school full time...=) but I think that just sctructures your schedule better...

Anyhow..just wanted to say hello, I'm back.. hopefully will post more often...

P.S... 2nd semester nursing school begins in ....about 13 days...! I'm excited and scared! Keep me in your prayers!!!

God Bless....

Heres a few pictures from our wedding!! JULY 10, 2010....

A Must-Read, A Happy Heart, Unpredictable God


We know that Jesus Christ is, was and will always be the same. (Heb 13:8). I am convinced, however, God is very unpredictable. Let me explain, If we are created in His image (a whole new topic for another time) we can relate to Him in some characteristics and emotions.

The joy I feel when I do something special without anyone expecting it is indescribable! So I imagine, He must feel that when His provision, His plans, His special moments for us catch us in surprise and He is in return Glorified. You know what I'm talking about...that AHA! moment after a very tough time in your life...when God's hand is seen through it all in the end. =)

To Him be the Glory!! He knows and chooses to be so intimately involved in the intricate details of your life.

A happy heart: when you realize the above, the words "don't worry, be happy" have a much deeper meaning. This month, I am challenged and reminded, to be happy. The devil will try to steal that away...but he is no match for me! The boxing gloves I have will leave him toothless!
What I need to do is equip myself with what God has so wonderfully provided:

Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 46
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging."

Lastly, A must read for all...Love and Respect by Dr. Eggerichs. Have I already mentioned this book here?? if not, shame on me. If I have, good! READ IT! its definitely a book I would not mind reading again. This is coming from someone who wouldn't read books twice!

I would love to hear your thoughts and opnions on the book if you have read it. that would be an additional post =)

Hope you have a joyful heart
In His Love
