Sunday Songs #3

Ahh! I realized it has been forever since I posted a Sunday Song list....

I actually have a list that I keep so when I think of a song, I write it down and can blog about it later.

This week's Sunday Songs is about Television Show Theme Songs. This theme is going to have to be multiple posts because there is a lot of them.

A sidenote: I used to watch a lot of TV, but I really don't anymore. I have a TV in my room and it probably gets turned on once or twice a week.

So the following are just a FEW of the songs I remember enjoying whenever a show would come on:

....In no particular order:

1. Family Matters
• "It's a rare condition, this day and age, to read any good news on the newspaper page..." I didn't even really like the show all that much, but I loved the theme song! It is catchy and make you feel like hanging out with family. Haha.
2. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
• If you put this song, everyone breaks out in singing. We all watched it growing up. I only know a few parts so when I sing it, it is pretty scattered.
3. Full House
• "Whatever happened to predictability..." Love love love this show! Whenever it comes on, I have to watch it. I forget how old the show really is. I mean, it was made in the early 90s! So crazy.
4. Growing Pains
• "As long as we got each other, we got the world spinning right in our hands..." THIS IS MY FAVORITE THEME SONG. I didn't watch Growing Pains until I was in late elementary school, but I loved it as soon as I started watching. I get a little teary-eyed hearing the song. I think about family when I hear it. Family is there for you through it all. I love my family so much.

Until next time...

Much love,

A Self Check

Yes, it is true. If you look at the time I posted this, it truly is 5:45 in the morning. I can't go to sleep with all this on my mind. It probably won't make any sense, but I need to get it off my chest. If you are interested in postings about sewing/craft projects, this won't be one of those posts.

This post is called exactly what it should be: A Self Check. That is what just happened. TRUTH confronting me.

I can be so blind to the truth and to what is right. Why? I completely blame it on my selfishness to do things on my own.  In most cases, in order for God to show me truth, He has to basically throw it all at me at once or else I miss everything.

Picture this: there is a wall in front of me (The Wall being Truth). However, it is only a few feet tall and a few feet wide. Easy to get over it and around it. Because it is so "small" and hard to distinguish, I don't take note of it. I do everything to ignore it. Allowing myself to pretend something else is true. I even try to knock it down in order for my "truth" or what I know to be "true" to fit in. Unfortunately, with this tiny Wall, I don't take it into account. What I don't realize is that the lies are slowly being built on top of it. One brick, or lie at a time, none of it being true so none of it being supported by the Wall already there. It only takes one storm to bring it down. And that is exactly what happened. It came crumbling on top of me.
Pardon the analogy if it doesn't make much sense. I'm just going with it at the moment.

I have allowed things that are not true to creep into my life. Things that have affected relationships with other people.

What have I become? That is not me. At least, I don't want that to be me. EVER. I am disappointed in my self. I am the only one to blame in the situation(s).

I feel horrible about everything that has occurred. It stinks feeling this way, but this is the only way God ever gets my attention: By throwing everything at me at once. By putting me into the spot of how I have hurt other people.

I realize hardly anyone will know what I am talking about when they read this. Honestly, it is not about knowing the story. I am writing this to keep myself accountable to fix what I have wronged. To change my knowledge. To get rid of the what is not true.

I can't do this on my own. Which is what God has shown to me. He is the Maker of the Truth. He IS the Truth. I can't take away the hurt that I have caused unfortunately. I really won't be able to fix things. Only He can do that. I just pray that He will provide me with the guidance I need for the situation(s) and to help me remember that I can't be Him and won't be able to make right of everything.
I wish I could make everything right and put it back to how it was, but it won't ever be that way, sadly. I know what I need to do. I can't change others and their views/"truths", but I will make it so that what is right and true is brought forward and recognized.

 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:31-32

All have sinned and are not good enough for God’s glory, and all need to be made right with God by His grace, which is a free gift. They need to be made free form sin through Jesus Christ. ~ Romans 3: 23-24 NCV



When you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins, too. ~ Mark 11:25
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. ~ Romans 12:2

And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up. That’s why whenever we can we should always be kind to everyone, and especially to our Christian brothers. ~ Galatians 6: 9-10

A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance. Blessed is the man who reveres God, but the man who doesn’t care is headed for serious trouble. ~ Proverbs 28: 13-14

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. ~ Phillipians 4:8


Remember, too, that knowing what is right to do and then not doing it is sin. ~ James 4: 17

I dont know if anyone actually read everything I wrote. I don't know if it makes much sense to anyone. It is mainly for me as a reminder of what I want to happen and what needs to happen.  However, I feel like we can all relate to the fact of wrongdoing and allowing God and His Grace to fix it.

Until next time,

Halloween Weekend

I realized it has been almost a month since I last posted something. Boo!!! So many times I have thought about writing something, but I always get distracted. I have realized the best time for me to write a post is when I should be doing homework instead. For example, I should be writing a paper right now. :)

So, not too much has been going on these past few weeks. School is busy busy busy (as usual). I signed up for classes this past Wednesday. It will be my last semester of taking classes because next fall I will be student teaching. It amazes me how college has flown by so quickly. I try not to think about it too much.

I have been in a crafty mood recently, so I have been working on projects here and there.

I had tissue paper flowers left over from my cousin's baby shower. I didn't want to throw them out so I used them to decorate my room. I tried hanging them from the ceiling, but they all fell down. I came across this idea on a blogsite and thought it was cute. I might add a few more to this wall. It brightens up the room alot.

I had a really plain and simple J. Crew shirt that I never wore because it was a little too simple. I bought some fabric from Hancocks and sewed on some "yo-yo's". I really like the finished product!

Some of the other projects I have been working on were my halloween costumes. All three outfits were either made or adjusted in some way.  See pictures below!!! My next few projects are some re-fashioning of old shirts and then making a shirt for a friend. And don't forget about christmas presents too!! :)

Halloween (or should I say "Halloweek") started last Tuesday for me with a Fall Carnival put on by Residence Life. The children of faculty and staff came and participated in games and trick-or-treating. I was a cheerleader, but I don't have any pictures of my outfit from that night.

On Thursday, I have two parties: Campus Crusade and a friend's party. I was a ladybug for both parties. I re-wore this outfit from last year. It is so cute, so I had to re-use it.

On Friday, I went to a dance party as a "Jungle Woman"/ "Cavewoman". I LOVE dancing so it was fun to put on my dancing shoes and have a good time with some awesome ladies!

Saturday receives the award for my favorite costume. I was a Ninja Turtle! I don't even know where I got the idea to be one, but I just went with it. My dad made my turtle shell and a friend painted it to make the shell look more realistic. I had the most fun in this costume and will be wearing it again in the future.

Until next time....Much love,

K
