Who's This Kid?

So, Saturday Charly got a big-girl haircut! And talk about adorable! Katie, one of our friends from church, happens to be the best stylist in Fayetteville, no joke, (it said so in the newspaper!) and she came to our house and did Charly's hair. She so rocks! So here are the much anticipated pictures:

I am in LOVE with this last one! Charly so totally rocks! And yeah, she is still 4, she didn't age ten years overnight or anything like that. *-) The cut completely fits her personality, and she LOVES it! Saturday it'll be my turn, I can't wait!

Everything else is going well. I released my latest kit last week, and sold a few. It seems to be well-liked, so that's always good. I spent a lot of time and energy on it. I've been trying to keep up with doing the Bible in a Year. It's been tough some days, as I have mistakenly had my priorities focused on other things. Last Sunday was Pastor Sean's third and final sermon on tithing/giving. This time he spoke from Jesus' teachings on tithing. Up to this point I had felt pretty good about our tithing situation, until Pastor Sean helped me to realize that tithing and giving to God isn't just about money, but about other things too, like our time. And I was cut to the core when it occurred to me that though I've been giving God the firstfruits of our labor, per se, I've been giving Him the leftovers of my time. And the Bible says "Give, and it shall be given unto you..." (Luke 6:38). Basically what this means is that if I only give a little, that is what God will give back. If I use a teaspoon to measure my giving, so will He. And then I thought, do I want God giving me a teaspoon of His time?

Until next time...love you all!
