[Princess Michelle]

Hi guys! Thank you for your prayers, I am feeling better but still sooooooo tired and weak.

Stampy, are you a member of Sound & Spirit music club by any chance? The Casting Crowns cd is their featured selection this month.

I think is meant in more of a goofy, wayne's world type "we're not worthy" type way, not in a worship God sort of way. It doesn't bother me but I just see it in a different context I guess.

I think is a great smiley for Sarah!

Jeanne, remember, if you eat birthday cake you have to drink lemonade with it, it's a must if you post on this thread, trust me!

No, I'm not a member...bummer!

Sis, I think your right about that. And I hope this weekend you will be able to get some rest, so you feel better. I will keep you in my prayers.

New Day/Avalon

It's a new day
Oh, it's a new time
And there's a new way
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has passed away
And the news has come
Thank God, it's a brand new day

Lookin' back on yesterday
There are things that I regret
But I put the past behind me
And I will never will forget
You have covered my mistakes
And my broken dreams
Now over the horizon
I see the dawn is drawing near
And I realize the sun did rise
Tomorrow's finally here

Now when I wake up thinkin'
'Bout the things I've done before
Memories I could not escape
Well they can't haunt me anymore
Now I hold my head up high
'Cause I am not the same
You've changed my whole perspective
And with new eyes I see
I've become a new creation
'Cause of what You've done for me

'Cause of what You've done for me
No, I am not ashamed
This heart of mine is finally free
I'll never be the same

Tasha, when I was at my local Christian book store the other day, they had a deal going on. If you bought The Casting Crowns CD you got a free DVD( I think it was called Love it Live or something like that). And The Casting Crowns CD was on sale for $12.37, I thought that was a really good deal. I think I am going back over there this weekend to get my copy. They also had a lot of there CD's on sale too, I got The Very Best Of Avalon CD the other day for $14.99. It is such a good CD and I am so glad I bought it!

Good Morning Everyone

 

[Princess Michelle]

Good Morning to you too Kim! Happy Friday to all!

Sarah, I love Avalon, their greatest hits cd was an excellent choice!

"We will show forth Thy praise to all generations." Psalms 79:13

To young and old and in between may I reflect Your kindness today.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hey Jill! Guess who was on the radio this morning when I was driving to work? They were talking to Andy Chrisman. 4HIM is in concert tonight but I'm not going *waaaahhhhhhh*. I didn't even know until yesterday. Guess I need to get into the habit of checking their itenary on a regular basis! Now I guess I have to sing a song to get me through.

The Waiting/4HIM

I know, you know,
We all have taken blows
At times the weight is more
Than you and I can bear
I hurt, you hurt
We live and breathe the word
But through it all it's good to know
We need to know
That Jesus is there
And you will never have to face the hurt alone

When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go
Waiting through the hard times
Will only make you strong, hold on

I cry, you cry,
Life takes us by surprise
Before you know,
It'll catch you unaware
I need, you need,
Much more than sympathy
But through it all it's good to know
We need to know
That Jesus is there
And you will never ever have to cry alone

When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go
Waiting through the hard times
Will only make you strong, hold on

When you're waiting
Through the hard times
Hold on, don't let go

You will never ever have to cry alone

Hi Everyone!

It's Friday!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day and a great weekend!

Sis, I am listening to my new Avalon CD right now and I LOVE it! That's a bummer that you will not be able to go see 4HIM, I would love to see them too. And of one of these days I really want to go to NOJ, to bad I am not coming in September. Maybe I can talk my parents into give that to me as a birthday present next year, since my birthday is in September. And Sis, how are you feeling today?

Jeanne, how was your birthday dinner with your family? And did you eat some cake and drink some lamonade for us too? LOL


Everything To Me/Avalon

I grew up in Sunday School
I memorized the Golden Rule
And how Jesus came to set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I can tell you all about
The path that led Him up to Calvery
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same
Because He changed my life when He became

Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything, everything to me

We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find that I'm aware
Of just how fragile life can be
I want to tell the world I found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know that they can taste and see
Now every day I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I want to live for Jesus
So that someone else might see that He is...

And looking back over my life at the end
I'll go to meet You saying You've been

You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page of history
You're the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything
Lord, You're everything to me

Hey Sarah or should I say Hey

I'm feeling better, not tired today which is always a wonderful thing. Fridays are usually a slow, relaxed day at work if you can believe it so it's been an alright day so far.

Everything To Me is one of my most favorite Avalon songs! You would like NOJ and RTU too. They are both a lot of fun. The lineup for NOJ this year is simply phenomenal in my opinion. One of the best they have had in years. This is the first year I've wanted to go in a long time.

 

[zen1]

Hey Sis, I am so glad you are feeling better and I bet you are glad it's friday. I hope you will be able to get some rest in this weekend.

And I so wish I could find a way to go to the NOJ this year, but I don't think that's going to happen. Who is in the lineup this year? I think I saw Avalon is going to be there, I would love to see them. I bet I would like the both of them too. I hope I get to go one of these days and when I do I would love for you to come with me.

 

[Hemi-mom]

Happy weekend everyone! Thanks for everyone's prayers about my upcoming interview!

Hi Kim! Good to see you!!!!

Tash, I hope things are resolved soon with this situation. I know that for me I find it hard to function when a relationship/conflict is unresolved...I just went through something like that with someone from yesterday until today. It is good to have others to talk to and to pray for you. But nothing matches giving it over to God and allowing Him to help you to work it out with the person. I hope you can do that and I will be praying for God to give you His peace.

Michelle, too bad about the 4HIM concert!!!! It seems like they're never in concert around here...they tour the south more.
I guess you'll have to just play all of their CD's all weekened to make up for it! Glad you're feeling better today! I know what you are saying about the worship guy, but...I don't know...he just is scary! I think my personal preference is to avoid him!

Jen thanks for being such a good listener! And everyone, thanks for making this a wonderful place to "talk"...I'll try not to apologize so much...it can be a flaw of mine.

Jeanne, I hope the rest of your BD was great!!!! Sounds like the first half was nice!

Sarah, it looks like is the choice of the masses!! I think you CAN change your username...it has been done. I changed mine to Hunny-mom for like ONE day because of my bouncy Poohbear but my DH thought it made me sound "trashy" and said it didn't suit me! LOL

Since we have a lot of newcomers, maybe people could explain their usernames if they think of it!!!

Mine comes from the fact that when I first came to the DIS was B4 our trip in 2000 and I came mostly to the disAbility boards to find out all kinds of info for my son and using a wheelchair at Disney. I didn't even know they had "fun" boards! Well, anyway, since my son Michael has Hemi-plegia (right-sided Cerebral Palsy) I just called myself Hemi-mom. I never dreamed I'd be posting still 4 years later on any other place besides disAbilities! That's the origin of my username! I think I'm kinda glad "Hunny-mom" didn't stick and I just stayed with my original!!! I don't think my original will ever be something anyone else would choose so I won't feel guilty holding onto it!! LOL


I'll leave with a song of praise!!!

How Deep The Father’s Love for Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin taht held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will nost boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

I like my new name, I think it fits me good. Can you really change your username and how do you do that? Do you guys think I should change it to, Sarah Sunshine? But then again everyone would forget who I am. What do you guys think I should do?

The username I have now zen1 is not all that special, all it is the last three letters of my last name and the #1 is just something I put in there for fun. My last name is spelled just like the Heinz 57 Ketchup and then the only thing you need to add on is the en on the end of Heinz (and then you have my last name). I love Ketchup, so I guess my last name fits me really good. LOL

Jilly, I love the story behind your username and I am glad you keept it Hemi-mom, it fits you really good. And I am keeping you and Jess in my prayers.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

 

[Princess Michelle]

Jill, I was going to do something not nice but I decided not to, my mind just comes up with terrible things sometimes that it thinks are quite humorous... Let's just say I was going to post a song that has the word "worship" in it MANY times and I was going to substitute that smiley instead of the word. *holding out my hands to be slapped*

I knew what your user name meant but I never knew about Hunny-Mom, LOL, I agree with Dan! ROTFLOL

I don't think it's any secret that I'm using my real name. Says it right there on my birth certificate ~ Princess Michelle.

Sarah, I think Sarah Sunshine is a cute name, change it if you want to and if you don't then you will just be our Sarah Sunshine.

 

[Hemi-mom]

<font size=6>MICHELLE!!!!! </font> Bad !!! Bad, bad !!!!

Posting that worship guy over and over would constitute the same kind of twisted behavior that a mother might sometimes have toward her kid who has an irrational fear of E.T.!!!

Mother: "But Michael E.T. is supposed to be cute and nice."

Son: "Don't say that name, Mom."

Mother: "But E.T. is just a puppet!"

Son: "AHHH! Don't say his name!"

Mother: "Michael, E.T. are just letters!" Your cousin's initials are E.T. and your grandomther's initials are E.T...."

Son: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"


Now, what kind of mother would do that to her kid!????!

Well, I guess that mother learned that confronting one's fears is NOT ALWAYS the best way to overcome them.
SO LAY OFF THAT SCARY WORSHIP GUY!!!!!

So glad you got such a HUGE about my former, short-lived alias! I guess I'll have to add that one on all of my screenings now and risk being labeled accordingly!!!!

Are you listening to Andy, Kirk Mark and Marty today??? I think I'll put them in while I procrastinate some more!

BTW my Michael missed the whole week of school. He had to stay home form a BD party today and a swim event tonight so he is bummed! He is getting better but was dealing with a virus and still even though he started out the day normal yesterday his fever still went up by evening. I'm praying he stays normal today. At least he CAN go outside a little today and enjoy the nice weather if he takes it easy. The Doc wants to see him on Monday if his temps don't stay normal today and tomorrow. Maybe he can go watch a movie...like E.T. today!!!! (I couldn't resist!)

 

[Princess Michelle]

Omigoodness, Poor Michael! ROTFLOL!!! I'm glad I didn't accidently say anything that sounded like E.T. when I was around him, wouldn't have wanted the poor little guy to freak out. I could just see it now, hey Michael, lets go EAT, E.T.???? WHEEEERRRRREEEE LOL

See, you are a deviant too, so you understand my whacko brain.

I'm sorry that Michael is still not feeling well. I will keep praying for him.

 

[zen1]

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Jilly and Sis, you guys are to funny!

Jilly, I hope Michael feels better soon. I will keep him in my prayers.

Sis or Jilly, do you guys know how to change my username?

 

[Princess Michelle]

Morning Sarah! I think you have to go over to the tech board and ask them about changing your name.

Jilly, I forgot to answer the most important question of all! No, I'm not currently listening to anything, I've only been awake for an hour or so... LOL When I get into my cleaning mode this afternoon I will be listening to the guys. I was also in the mood to listen to Carman this morning. Never hear him on the radio anymore so sometimes I just have to break out all his cd's and have a little marathon.

 

[Hemi-mom]

Sarah, there used to be a way that you could change it on your own...(I know I did that with my fiasco name change!!!) but I think they disabled that because too many people were doing it.
You can ask them on the tech board to do it...but only if you're really sure because they will not want to change it back...they are very busy over there. I think they also have you fill out a ten page questionaire about your reasons for wanting to change your identity and they ask you to get a phychiatric evaluation to discover if you are truly unhappy with who you are, or if you're just fickle! OK!!!! Why do I like to TORTURE people!!!! It must be the influence of the "royalty" that lurks around these threads playing tricks and teasing...ALL because she got a good night's sleep and wants to be PLAYFUL NOW!!!! I guess we'll have to go and put that pea under her mattress again tonight so she won't be so rascally!!

Michelle, I'm so glad you're feeling good today and that you got well rested last night! God is great about providing us with those daily miracles, we choose to sometimes take for granted, but I know you don't!! I guess living with trials really makes us appreciate the blessings! I hope you have many more miracle nights ahead!

I like to get out the "Old" stuff too occasionally too! (2many TOO'S!!!) I haven't put in the guys yet but I think I'll listen to some of their old stuff and some old Petra today! Our radio station is having a tenth anniversary this year so they play a lot of hits from 1994...several a day..I know that's not THAT old..I mean even Jen probably knows some of those...... ...but anywho, it's nice to hear them more often!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now who's being rascally! You're still a year too early for her, she doesn't know any songs before 1995.

I'm very grateful for sleeping well last night and this morning. I feel sooooo good now. I actually have the energy to pester people on other boards today! LOL

I had an old Petra marathon the other day. It was GOOD! Do you have their War and Remembrance set? It's one (two) of my favorites, all the good stuff on there! I was also listening to the Imperials Legacy set and my Scott Wesley Brown best of set. Gotta love those 2-disc compilations!

 

[Hemi-mom]

Sarah , I'm sorry... I just read your post on the tech board. I guess they don't allow it anymore. It was like a year ago when I changed mine...and I actually did change it back too. I really thought they'd let you. Maybe they were getting too may requests for it. I guess if you create a new userID then you'd loose your post count.. But I guess we all know you as Sarah and that's ok too! We'll love you whether you change it or not!!!
