Then Signs My Soul Saturday


Thanks to Carol last week for hosting. I was in New Mexico at the CLASS Christian Writers Conference and had no internet or phone service! It was fun but I'm glad to be home!

Love Jeremy Camp and this week's song. Hope you do too!

I'm so thankful that Jesus Saves!

Then Sings My Soul Saturday


Howdy friends! It's Carol from sheep to the right. Amy is in New Mexico at a writer's conference and asked me to step in for Then Sings My Soul. I was happy to oblige.

I've chosen the theme song to The Lone Ranger (William Tell). Amy and I are usually joined at the hip, so I tease that we are The Lone Ranger and Tonto. Well, this week she truly is the "lone" ranger, since she left Tonto back in Georgia.

I can't wait until Sunday until she gallops back home again! Enjoy!

Tonto a.k.a. Carol

Then Sings My Soul Saturday - Strong Enough


November is National Epilepsy Awareness Month. I hope to post some more information and links to some epilepsy websites for you this month and hopefully post the video from the interview I did recently in New York for Women Succeeding with Epilepsy.

I thought this song by Matthew West was appropriate for how I feel sometimes when Spencer's seizures are out of control. Whatever your circumstance, know that He is strong enough for both of you.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13






You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough

Hope you have a blessed weekend!
Amy

Unclean


Lately my mind and my “to do list” have been focused on clean, clean, clean. You see, my house could use a good cleaning from top to bottom. Especially before we drag out all of the Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations and bring in a whole new lot of toys, games and clothes. Since both kids have birthdays near the end of the year and Christmas presents will be coming in soon, it can get to be a bit overwhelming. That’s why it especially struck me when twice this week, once in chapel at school with my kids and then at church, I heard the story of the leper Christ healed. (I have come to realize when I hear something over and over, it is often God trying to get my attention.)

Why did this story jump out at me and what does it have to do with a clean house you ask?

To read the rest of this devotion, join me at Five Minutes for Faith.
Blessings,
Amy

Then Sings My Soul Saturday

Hello Friends,
First of all I want to say thank you to all of you for always being so faithful to post and join in on TSMS Saturdays. And I want to say thank you for always commenting. I know sometimes I don't always get them up right away but I do read them all on my phone and sometimes I don't get back on the computer to get them posted. It's seems life has just gotten crazier and busier so I'm not having a lot of time to blog and read blogs but I love that you all still come by to visit me!
Also I wanted to thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes while I was in NYC last weekend. My trip was fabulous! The shows were wonderful and the taping went well. I will post the link to the webisode next month when it airs during National Epilepsy Awareness Month.
Thankfully the kids and Greg were fine while I was away but Spencer did have a seizure this week when I got home. At least it wasn't while I was gone!
Tonight we had Mary Lyndsey's birthday party. She had a pretend sleepover party from 4-9pm with 14 little girls. Needless to say, my head is spinning right now! I'll be sure to post some pictures this week. We had a blast.
Been thinking of this song today since Mary Lyndsey also had her first Praise Girls performance today at school and this is the song they signed/danced to. I'll have to post some pics of that too.
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
Sweet Blessings,
Amy

Then Sings My Soul Saturday

Hello Friends,
I hope you are having a fabulous weekend! I am really excited because I am in New York City enjoying all of the fun things to do here. I am probably sitting in "Wicked" on Broadway as this is posting since I have scheduled it to post on Friday night. I'm here filming a video about Women Succeeding with Epilepsy for National Epilepsy Awareness Month. I wish you all could be here with me!

Please pray that Greg and the children get along fine while I'm gone and for no seizures for Spencer!!

I'm not sure why, but I thought of this song when I was thinking about what to post while I was in the city. Hope you enjoy!

Sweet Blessings,
Amy
