31 Days of DaNella's Brain... Microbursts!







Grab What You Can!

My older daughter, Christeonnah (12) had bought some candy, small round tart balls, and she was keeping them in a cracker box. Of course we accused her (just teasing) of trying to hide them from her younger siblings, to which she replied that she was merely “being creative.”
However at one point during the night when she went to reach in the box to get one, it tipped over and began to display a lot of tiny balls on my floor. This alone would have been funny, but since we have hardwood floors, as they scattered they bounced, making a fairly loud noise. It was loud enough that Juliannah (8) in the next room heard it, and she yelled “Spill on isle three; grab what you can!” and proceeded to run into the living room and try to steal all of Nana’s candy!
Too funny, but do you realize that is exactly how we need to be? We need to run to God, seek His presence, and long for His touch. We need to read our bible, and immerse ourselves in Him so deep that we can’t be found. He tells us to be filled to overflowing with His spirit.
Eph 5:18 Don't get drunk on wine, which leads to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Spirit

Ok I'm gonna do it! 31 days of Microbursts!


I am starting today and I'm gonna post 31 days of Microbursts... So that means I better get busy, It's part of the 31 Days of... you can check that out here. There are over 700 blogs participating...

Here we go! Joy Unspeakable!

Today at work was a day! I was glad it was only eight hours! I wasn’t sure it would ever end.,. Unfortunately I started off the day with a sinus tooth ache… It was almost as bad as a migraine. Nice huh? That alone was pretty bad, but then two people in my class kept arguing… loudly over the TV. They each wanted to watch their own show. At the same time…, with only one TV. Needless to say one or the other was constantly losing and protesting, loudly!

As if that were not enough, “it” chose today to hit. Yeah you ladies know exactly what I mean, that lovely monthly thing some call “Happy Time…” I was not happy!

I began to wonder “Is this day over yet? “The answer to that came in a beautiful rainbow of wax cylinders flying thru the air and landing all over the floor in my room…Yep you guessed it, someone spilled our huge box of crayons all over the floor.

Finally as the day was winding down, I had peace that I had indeed survived. As I was doing one of my last duties, helping load the busses for the trip home, one of the drivers asked me “How are you doing?”

Since I knew he was a Christian, and I knew he would understand, I said, “If I only had happiness, and didn’t have joy, I would have had a bad day! My happiness left long ago, but it left joy in its wake.”

He just kind of laughed and said, “Yeah sometimes it’s joy unspeakable huh?”

I’m not totally sure how he meant it, but I’ll tell you how I took it, Sometimes the joy that God gives, joy in the midst of struggles, joy when the world is in turmoil, joy at unexpected moments, that joy that makes absolutely no since shouldn’t even be there.

That is Joy unspeakable!

Although you have never seen Christ, you love him. You don't see him now, but you believe in him. You are extremely happy with joy and praise that can hardly be expressed in words

Blog? Oh yeah I have one of those...


Ok So I have totally sucked at the blog thing for a while now... trying to get back on track... I think part of it is as I get closer to graduating I know I will be job hunting, and I don't want this to disable my chances of being hired... I don't think anything here will but it still has me a little scared.
We just got back from Youth Camp with the teens. LOVED IT! So glad God allowed us to go. God is good.

An Honor to Serve.

This is the cool leadership team at the church where we are youth pastors. It's neat to serve with such a good team.

Here's What I am...



This one was kinda mean... It's a cartouche. My son Matt made it in art by cutting out the cardboard then gluing on aluminum foil. Then he carved his designs in. After that he painted it black and then sanded the black off to provide relief... this is the finished cartouche... It has a owl for M, a falcon for A and a piece of bread for T. Pretty cool huh? BTW the first one looks like a buffalo to me... and the third one looked like a son or moon...
The neatest thing to me is at the beginning of the year the art teacher had them make a 'logo' Matt made the shape of a tree with these little arrows.
