The Lordship of Christ book review

I recently received the opportunity to review The Lordship of Christ courtesy of BookSneeze. I enjoyed how there is more scripture used in this book, rather than analyzing and judging of the biblical scriptures. You can actually read the truth in what is being said because you have examples that prove the point.          

Everything from daily submission to holy living is discussed using the scriptures. John McArthur takes the time to make it plain and simple for the bible impaired. I enjoyed reading the pages as they spoke to me through the bibles words and not someone telling me how to do it. It is "applied" truth and guides in the direction God would want us to go, not man.

I recommend reading this book if you are looking for a generalized explanation of some of today's bible topics. It made so many different things more clear for me while not feeling judged for being who I am.

In return for the review I received a copy of the book.

L'Oreal's Magic Skin Beautifier

I recently had the chance to try L'Oreal's Magic Skin Beautifier BB cream. I didn't know if this stuff would actually do anything for me. It seems the older I get make up becomes less useful for me. It just usually clumps in my fine lines or exaggerates them.

Boy was I surprised at how well this BB cream actually worked. I first applied it to one side of my forehead and looked at the difference. The side where I had placed the cream was much smoother looking. I was so impressed.

All I can say is thank you to SheSpeaks for giving me this great opportunity to try this awesome product. I most definitely will recommend it to my friends. How amazing is is that something that is one color can change to blend to your skin color and look so perfect?

Palmolive Fresh Infusions Review

Who likes washing dishes by hand? I don't. I prefer loading the dishwasher and letting it do its thing. If I have to wash by hand I want a lot of scent and something that is going to soften my hands, not dry them out. It has to also cut the grease on my dishes.

It looks like Palmolive has given us something that might actually meet all of my demands. I would like a lot more scent, but these are fresh subtle scented soaps that don't over power you. Sometimes when you use some others (won't name them) they have a strong lemon smell. That's fine if you like lemons. These come in different scents such as Lime Basil, Lemon Thyme, & Ginger White Tea. They sound exotic, but are more for the kitchen area.

I will continue to enjoy these wonderful new scents and the great job the Palmolive is doing on my dishes and my hands. If you want to enjoy these scents yourself, Wal-Mart has them reasonably priced at $2.99 a bottle. Stop by yourself and smell how wonderful they are.

I am... Gabriel Review

All I can say is - amazing! I had the opportunity to review a christian based movie called "I am... Gabriel." It is about a little town called Promise in Texas. For years the town had bad luck and was suffering. A boy called Gabriel came to the town and miracles began to happen.

This movie touches very heavily on prayer and talking with God. I was emotionally involved in many parts and at times felt compelled. It stars Dean Cain who is the sheriff of the town, a man who never really wants to believe, and John Schneider, the town doctor who has been looking for miracles to help heal.

This movie shows the power of prayer and how God only wants us to talk to him. He is waiting to hear from us so that he can let us know he is there for us. I would recommend this movie to teenagers to help grasp the importance of prayer in their lives as well adults looking for reassurance that God does listen. I will be passing this on to my own pastor as well as my close friends. Everyone needs to know the power of prayer.

New Auntie

I recently became an aunt for the first time. I am so excited! My brother and his wife had a baby girl on Sunday. The first girl. I have twin boys, so it is nice to be able to buy pink and frilly things. Boys are easy, but girls are fun.

I created a cute little book for them as a gift. I had fun putting it together on Shutterfly. You have so many options to create pages and if you don't have enough stuff to use in the choice you have made, you can go and add more embellishments or frames. It was so easy to use.

I can only hope they will enjoy the book as much as I did creating it. I didn't realize how time consuming something like that could be. I have scrapbooked on paper before, but never digitally. This was a whole new experience and I think I am hooked!

Summer Box of Crave

I got another Cravebox today. I so love these! All of the treats are put in a box with beautiful little colored shreds of paper! It's like Christmas every time I open the boxes. This one has lots of summer goodies. Some things I have never heard of and am very anxious to try.

I am excited to try these TrueLemon lemonade packets. You just add them to a bottle of water and "ta-da," lemonade! I love the convenience of the packets and how they fit nicely in my purse to take with me.

Next up is a BiC FlameDisk. I have never heard of these and am interested in seeing how they work. It sure looks like clean up the grill will be a ton easier.

 The Mozaik Appetizer set is sooooo cute! I have never seen anything like it. I am sure if I had girls that they would want this to play with. It looks like a dinner serving set for dolls. I am going to have to find some really nice appetizers to serve on these. I bet you could even get away with using these in a wedding environment because they are just that formal.

I also received a coupon good for one BiC multi purpose lighter. Who can't use those? I always burn myself using matches when I try to light candles. These make it so much easier reaching the wick when the candle has worked its way down inside the container.

I am also looking forward to brewing a nice pitcher of MightyLeaf Iced Tea. This summer has been exceptionally hot and iced tea always tastes good in the heat.

So until my next box arrives, I am going to totally enjoy using all of my new goodies and sit on my porch drinking my freshly brewed tea while I await my next box.

Miss him...

Nothing more exciting than having my son from Ohio come down for a visit. He gets to come see us once year. I always look forward to seeing him. Anyone who has family you don't see very often, know that time flies when they visit. I couldn't believe how fast the week went. I love how he makes requests for certain foods that I cook. It makes me feel special that he has to wait a year to be able to taste some of the fine delicacies only a mom can fix.
