Screencast Software...

I have been looking for an easy to use screen capture software, and this week I think I found it. On screencast-o-matic.com, a free account there would give me 15 minutes max recording time,

record screen, the options to publish to YouTube In high definition, and also publish in the following formats MP4, AVI, and FLV movie. I have yet to try it out, but so far it sounds like it's just what I needed!

A Simple Thank You...

Last week I had mentioned a website that I was glad to have found, and felt would be very helpful in getting more exposure as an Indie Gospel artist.

I am still enjoying the site so far (RadioAirplay.com), and wanted to say "Thank You" to those that took the time to listen to and support my music this week.

I thank God for another opportunity, to be a Blessing to others through music!

Truly Inspired ...

Something was spoken at church recently, that truly encouraged and inspired me. I don't remember exactly how it was worded, but I remember the example that was used.

It was said how "God has a decree over the oceans and the seas of this world. Though they toss to and fro, and though they "rush" towards the banks of the earth, these strong waters still can ONLY travel as far as God will ALLOW them to."

This example, was applied to daily living in the same way. Reminding us of how God will put no more on us than we can bear. When the weight of trials, and tribulations, "rush" into our lives, tossing us emotionally to and fro. We can still rest assure that this too shall pass. For God has the power to "Intervene" and burdens will have NO CHOICE but to cease. Giving us rest, and peace in our spirit! In Jesus Name, Amen!

Empty Cereal Boxes...

Having a cabinet overly filled with empty cereal boxes, tells me it's now time for a crafting project.

I have been planning to "make something" with my boxes for the longest, but after finding "my craft channel's" video on YouTube.

I now know just what I want to make. Very cute and simple writing pads,or note pads. With my kids in school and often having homework to do. I know they will enjoy having these on hand!

Harvest Of Blessing...

Today I listened to a message about "seeds" of faith, and how we should continue to plant them in every area of our lives.

Always believing God for what we need, no matter what may come. The thought of finding ourselves in great need, and having not kept our faith in God, would be a terrible situation.

So today I encourage us to keep on planting our seeds of faith, for in due season our harvest of Blessing WILL be great!

Butterfly Transformation...

Yesterday our oldest two children found a caterpillar outside. They
named him Frankie, put him in a jar (with holes in the lid) leaves to eat, some water, and a tall stick to crawl on.

They are so excited about Frankie, and when they got up for school this morning, they saw that he had actually made a cocoon overnight.

Now all of us are curious and looking forward to a possible butterfly transformation!

The Way Up Is Down...

The way "up" in this life is found "down" on a servant's level. Living our lives with a "servants" heart.

Walking in humility, helping, and pouring into someone else other than ourselves.

Expecting nothing in return... A Level where true blessing, growth, and happiness is found!

Philippians 2:3
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Philippians 2:4
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
