Facebook

It was truly only a matter of time until Facebook crept into my blog life, lol! I truly tried to hold off as long as I could, but it is so energizing to connect with people in the middle of the day during my breaks at work.

For the longest time I didn't "get it." (What's the point? Who cares? What is the purpose of Facebook anyway?)

Then my niece went to Australia and I really wanted to connect with her and see what her life is like there 'til she comes back in July, so I "re-joined" facebook, and I have to say I'm loving it. My favorite part is that you get quick little "snippets" or "sneak peeks" into the lives of people that you know (or knew) but don't connect with on a regular basis anymore.

What have i learned on facebook?
  • my brother still works his schedule so that he takes off every other friday, and last friday he went out to lunch with his wife--just made me smile :)
  • i'm not the only parent with a crazy, hectic life
  • one of the ladies at my church is currently student teaching in first grade--so we're kindred spirits and we didn't know it ;)
  • my brother made chocolate chip cookies tonight (for his daughter, of course ;))
  • my sister's c-section got postponed for a week (yeah, she was disappointed)
  • saw photos of my sister and her friends from high school--i really tripped on those :)
  • saw navy photos of my brother--that was fun: a sneak peek into his navy life
  • that i must try Mr. Clean with Febreze so my house will smell like lavendar and vanilla when i mop

so what do I think of facebook now? I am LOVING it!

okay ... now I'm ready to grade papers and finish report cards.

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with facebook. for the most part it has been a very positive, fun experience. I have loved reconnecting with old friends. The negative is when you read things that people write that are just disappointing - for various reasons. I have had to de-friend a few people, but for the most part I think it's been a blast.

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big picture that He has shown me so far?  Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

By Carmela
Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life.  😊  Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God.  I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not.  He is such a good God, and such a big God.  😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau
