{I know it has been a while since I have posted....I have been super busy!!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways I want to take this time to wish my lil girl a very happy birthday!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seven years ago I laid in a hospital room all alone with no baby to hold </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even though hours before I had just gave birth to a tiny little baby girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never even laid eyes on her much less held her for almost TWO days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That may not seem like a long time...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT TRST ME IT FELT LIKE A LIFETIME!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See she was a preemie and had to be took right to the NICU. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember being so confused. What was going on...where was my baby? Why did I not hear her cry?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mind was all over the place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kelly told me she looked beautiful and everything was great....only to tell me late she was as purple as the shirt I had on at the time and he wasn't sure what was going to happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess I am glad he didn't let me know...I was freaking out enough on my own HA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you would never know any of this now as she is a normal energetic little girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She loves the outdoors and playing at the barn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Horses and pigs are her favorites animals </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and she has the BIGGEST heart of anyone you will ever meet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is very sensitive but once you get her laughing good luck getting her to stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so proud of her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she is my best friend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Birthday Karsyn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE YOU FOREVER</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well at least school is out for the summer for my kids.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not get so lucky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But having them home is great! I love having them home and not having to rush every morning to get everyone ready and off to school. So I shared via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/southernsoulshining" target="_blank">Facebook</a> last week that I was taking the week off to spend all my time and energy with my kids. And that is just what I did!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a great week too!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/kcatlogan" target="_blank">Instagram</a> then you were able to get a small idea of the fun we have had. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Go ahead and take this as your warning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be using <a href="http://instagram.com/kcatlogan" target="_blank">Instagram</a> A LOT this summer and <strike>most likely </strike> for sure be sharing a lot of pictures!!</div>

I am also keeping my niece this summer and all three kids have enjoyed playing outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have colored our trampoline so many times but then they jump and it is like a magic eraser. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sidewalk chalk on the trampoline is the coolest. Kelly doesn't like for them to write and draw all over our driveway or porches so the trampoline has been great for using all the sidewalk chalk we have.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also started a new class this past week (Abnormal Psychology) which should be interesting. Last week we started the class studying anxiety. It is no secret I have struggled with anxiety so I was really interested about learning more and hopefully being able to help others as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of school, I unfortunately have had some problems with my college since I have transferred to this college and am seriously thinking about transferring back to Liberty University. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So please keep me in your prayers as I make this decision. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sad to leave the friends I have made while at the current school but some things have happened that I am just having a hard time justifying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just to vent and get a few of the things off my mind some of the things (def not all ) have been the school is more expensive and I do not get a choice of taking summer semester off. They advertise school is only one night a week but in reality you have to meet pretty much everyday with your groups to work on group projects you have due each week. (Ain't nobody got time for that)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have messed up my transcripts and didn't tell me until it was almost too late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the biggest was a problem I had with a professor. This is a LOOONG story. But basically I am in shock and I went from having right at a 4.0 GPA to who knows what because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he "never" got anyones work we clearly all gave him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could write a whole post with everything that has happened but I will not put you through that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok enough of my rambling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope y'all had a great weekend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will try and post as much as I can this week and summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I am off to clean house and then let the kiddos rip it back apart, ha...TRUE STORY</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then outside we go for maybe some good ole water hose fun then off the the BARN. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Dear Friday</i></b>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for coming. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This has not been the best of weeks so thanks for letting me know it is almost over. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Dear God, </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you above all else for never leaving my side. For ALWAYS being there for me and loving me unconditionally. Without you I am nothing and would have nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please forgive me for worrying so much. You know I am working on this. </div>

<i><b>Dear Hubby,</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are such a luck man to have me as your wife!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I just want to say I am so proud of you. I seriously don't think any other man is as hard of a worker as you. You are a perfectionist at everything you do..and usually the best at anything you do. I have to admit this makes me a lil jealous sometimes. But then I quickly get over it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for always making me laugh and cheering me up when I am down and/or stressed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now go win another tournament this weekend!! But when you do remember I washed the boat yesterday, HA</div>

You have been most of my stress lately. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You tell me one thing then do another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had one stressful or bad experience after another it seems. From my student account to issues with professors to transcripts. Not to mention all the work that comes with being a college student in the first place...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could go on but lucky for you I made honors and the deans list and I just got my letter in the mail yesterday...So I am trying to stay positive.</div>

Hey Y'all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's me..can you believe it...I am still here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I have been MIA ALOT lately but life has just been busy, good, bad, stressful, fun, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whatever it has been I have just not had time to write a post. I have been writing SO many papers for school and by the time I am done with them I honestly do not feel like writing anymore regardless of the fact many times I have wanted to share something. <br />
Sometimes I wish I could "talk" all my thoughts....then you would probably never get a break from me HAHA<br />
There have been times I wondered how I would ever have time and how we all have time period to blog. I hardly have time in the day to get half of what I need to get done....much less anything extra that I want to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I the only one????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I just didn't want to write about myself etc...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want meaningful post and I feel like I really fail at this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe I am just looking to much into everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seem to be going thru a love-hate relationship with it all right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again am I the only one ??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a more positive note I REALLLLLY do miss y'all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am blessed to stay in contact with you via text, email, <a href="http://instagram.com/kcatlogan" target="_blank">instagram</a>, or another form of social media. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want to say thank you for not forgetting about me and for your friendships. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never in a million years would of imagined I would of formed such amazing and strong bonds with friends through blogging or any social media really. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am hoping to get back in the swing of things and regularly posting. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope y'all will stay have me :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a blessed weekend!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Happy Monday Friends!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while I know...Sorry. Life has just been extra hectic and crazy these past several weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But on this past Friday night I got to enjoy a much needed concert with one of my best friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went to see Brantley Gilbert and Tim McGraw :) Which was an AWESOME concert I may add.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was great to have some BFF time as well. We both stay constantly busy and have two small children so neither of us get out much...much less together. We had a blast, and proud to say we may be the only people from the concert who <strike>don't drink</strike> will actually remember how great of a time we had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND again what a great time we had!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now for some of our photo ops while waiting for the concert to start. I am not one who normally like photos that include myself...hence why I am always making a face....BUt since I haven't really ever shared any recent pics of myself here you go...this is ME. </div>

SO where do I begin...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These past few weeks have had several ups and downs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this week just about did it for me..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you ever have those moments where you are afraid to ask what is next? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a good friend remind me that God must be preparing me for something BIG..I have to admit after all the other stuff I am a little afraid to know what the BIG thing is. But then I remind myself I cannot have fear and faith at the same time. It is like light and darkness...the two cannot be present at the same time...one cancels out the other. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So before I get to yesterday and without dragging you through everything leading to yesterday I just want to ask that you continue to PRAY for my sister. She is having a difficult time after her brain surgery and since her most recent MRI showed she has an internal leakage she will need surgery again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also keep my sweet 'lil girl in your prayers. She had her blood work done and the results were not as hoped and should of been, and her levels were low. Her Dr. has upped her meds and she will have another sleep deprived EEG as soon as school is out. (to avoid missing anymore school)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do want to thank my friends for being there for me...you let me vent, you calmed me down and most importantly you laughed <strike>with</strike> at me. I love all of my friends and they are each a blessing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Hubby for all that you do... For putting up with me and providing for our family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i could go one forever about everything else BUT what I really want to share is my day yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend agreed with me when I said this was one of those stories most would never believe...But I do have witnesses HA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my husband cant stop laughing at me ( and he wasn't even a witness...he just knows how I am) He said I wouldn't tell anyone HAHA..Sorry Hubby my other friends are begging me to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So yesterday started out pretty normal. <br />
I went to my kids awards shows and did some other random things</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So LONG story short later in the day when it was time to get in the line at the school to pick my kids up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Note: School traffic is TERRIBLE and you have to wait FOREVER in line.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and I forgot to mention it is POURING the rain!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here I am waiting in line and I have obviously drank too much water prior because I now feel like I am floating ...seriously I had to pee SOOOOO bad my bladder hurt. {I am pretty sure the rain didn't help} I knew I would NOT make it another 20 minutes waiting on my kids, not to mention then drive safety home...I had to go. Yes I was singing the gotta go, gotta go, gotta go RIGHT NOW song!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So i get out of the car rider line and park. I have on my running shorts but NOT my running shoes...nope try FLIP FLOPS! Remember it is pouring rain and the school is packed with parents picking their kids up and the hallways were full from other kids, parents, and teachers as the older kids awards show was just finishing up. Well I am looking for a bathroom I can use when BAM I slipped and fell and landed basically laying flat out...I AM EMBARRASSED yes but I quickly get back up BUT only to take 2-3 more step and BAM I FELL AGAIN!!!!!!! Seriously who does this??? How in the world I made it to the bathroom is beyond me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after the walk of "shame" I got my son and we and I were walking to get my daughter and you guessed it, YES I slipped again, this time outside. By this time I am soaking wet and a total embarrassment to myself not to mention my poor kids. They basically "held" me all the way back to our car. I just got into my car..SOAKING wet and just had to laugh to avoid crying.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PLEASE it only gets better...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No longer than five minutes after I get home and talking on the phone with the hubby telling him what has happened to me I hear a huge crashing noise followed by my kids screaming the trampoline is gone. SO I go back into the rain...still soaking wet from the previous episode to find my trampoline on top of my house..YES you read it correctly...well it didnt last long as the wind blew it back and it falls off {busting the siding on the house on its way down} I try to catch it but it pulls me...back on the ground I go! Thank you Ann for coming and not only helping me but witnessing this, LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO Ann and I tried to figuure out what to do (still pouring rain and wind like crazy, obviously) So here we are holding on for dear life to this flying trampoline until some of the guys could come help. Ann cracked me up when she made the comment "well I haven't flown in a while...that was a good flight" Literally every time the wind blew you would either get dragged..picked up or knocked down.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can only imagine the look on the guys {our hubbies buddies} faces when they got out of their truck. I am pretty sure it was one of those priceless moments to witness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah yesterday was the "icing on the cake" for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Do you have a hard time teaching your kids about respect? My daughter is 4 and we are really trying to teach her the importance of respect. Respect of people and their things, and respecting yourself- although she might not get that last one on until she's a little older. <br />
<br />
We received <b><a href="http://www.thomasnelson.com/cocka-doodle-doo-the-right-thing-1.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cocka Doodle DOO The Right Thing</a> </b>DVD to review and I have to say what a great message it has for kids. Take a look below about what the movie is about, and then read my thoughts on it!<br />
<br />
<b><u>Description</u>:</b><br />
<div class="DetailsBlock">
<b>Treat everyone with R-E-S-P-E-C-T!</b>
All the animals at the farm are brimming with hilarious anticipation
when they hear that Farmer Bob has invited a special guest for dinner.
But not everything goes as planned when Hercules doesn’t want to help
and Sam treats the special guest like a nobody!<br />
At the end of the day, both Sam and Hercules learn a valuable lesson about treating others—and their belongings—with respect.<br />
<br />
Bonus educational features include a music video and cartoon based on the letter <i>C</i>, a read-along digital storybook that lets kids decide when to “turn the page,” and an option to view the entire <i>Cocka Doodle Doo the Right Thing</i> DVD with pop-up <i>C</i>s every time a word that begins with <i>C</i> is used! A literacy message to parents is also included.<br />
<br />
More bonus features include bloopers, character commentary, and a
behind-the-scenes look at how Farmer Bob’s farm was created! Children
will love the tractor-loads of fun and humor that go along with this
biblically-based and educational story.<br />
<br />

I think this is a great kids cartoon movie. For one, I like that's it cartoon and not animated. It kinda reminded of me when I was kid, how movies and kids tv shows were mostly cartoon, but with better quality. I heard my daughter laughing throughout the movie, so she obviously found it funny! I thought it was very cool that Amy Grant and Vince Gill had their voices in this movie, even though my daughter has no clue who they are.<br />
<br />
I asked my daughter what she learned from the movie after she was done watching it, and after talking about all the farm animals, she said to tell the truth, to help people, and to respect people and their things. She's my smart little girl!<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> </b></span></span><br />

Sunday Night I was on Pinterest....Imagine that! Well, I was searching for and looking at hunting and fishing pins when All the sudden..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hey that looks like my hubby...oh it is, did i pin that? I don't remember pinning it...etc etc." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MY HUSBAND IS A PIN, ha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Honestly I had to refrain from commenting on this pin that others had pinned saying, "Hey that is my hubby" HA</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I didn't do it. And just so you know when I told him I am pretty sure he thought I was crazy!!</div>

OKAY </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yeah it's 10 pm and I have so much homework due before midnight </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just can't stop smiling and I just had to share some GREAT news with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had planned to write AFTER my papers for school, but I am having such a hard time focusing on school right now..opps. So shhhh don't tell on me (and I will just hope there isn't that rare chance my professor reads my blog and sees I am doing what I do best...PROCRASTINATE </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways so what has got me so happy...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First my youngest child (my daughter) accepted Jesus Christ into her heart tonight!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is just so excited...and so are we ( me and my hubby..aka her daddy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has been begging us for some time now saying she was read to get saved and she wanted to make sure if she died right now she would have eternal life in heaven. I have told her on numerous occasions she def. has Jesus in her heart and was saved etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Seriously y'all ...she has the BIGGEST heart of anyone you could ever know}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But she wanted to share her faith with everyone else so tonight after church she ran up to our pastor and said " I want to be saved" grinning ear to ear. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So she and the pastor had a talk and they prayed together and she has publicly professed her faith!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously this has to be the best moment as a parent...knowing you will spend eternal life with ALL your babies in heaven. I cant wait to have all four of my children in my arms and now I know with out a doubt that this is what eternity is going to hold for me!!!! I could just do a lil dance!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is blessed to be born into Royalty...She is the daughter of THE KING</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I want to also brag on my hubby real fast too...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He hates when I brag on him but I just cant help myself...I am just really proud of him too</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is always telling me not to post about his accomplishments etc </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO I wont go into full detail of Everything LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But He is going after his dreams of being a Pro-Angler...and is doing a pretty good job if I don't say so myself. YES I am pretty sure I get more excited than he has ..or shows it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT he has accomplished a lot </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And MOST importantly He gives all credit and glory to GOD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am fully behind him one hundred precent in following his dreams...I mean he is the husband that let me quit my job to be able to spend more time with out kids as well as go to college. He takes good care of me....our kids...US</div>

Seriously though everything I have shared in this post could NOT of happened with out God and HIs amazing Love. When you truly can turn from your ways and give your lives to God..I promise He will provide and He will take care of you. NO it will not always be easy. TRUST ME it is NOT!! I still struggle with worrying and more BUT I am not alone and He has transformed not only my life, but my husbands, my marriage, my children...I am so amazed when I sit here and look back and can see how our loves have drastically changed since we have turned our lives around and gave them to God. </div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi there lovely friends of Cat! Don't ya just love this girl?! </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My name's Taylor and I blog over </span><a href="http://confessionsofabusybusybee.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Before I talk to you about something that I've been concentrating on lately, I wanted to take a second to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a college student at the University of Illinois. I'm studying Communication and Business and hope to make it in the world of human resources! I'm addicted to coffee. I suggest not even talking to me before I've had my second cup, because I'll be the first to tell you that I am not a morning person! I love being crafty and trying new projects. I'm an avid scrapbooker and love to draw sketches of people! I've been trying to take up running and ran my first 5k last October. I think the best thing about me is that I live my life for Jesus!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Today I wanted to talk about prayer. Prayer has been something that we've been talking a lot about in my community group. We've been looking into messages in the bible, including the book of John. My pastor has dubbed the series, "Pray like Jesus." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
<a href="http://s1340.photobucket.com/user/tay_schulz/media/praylikejesus_zpsd775bb44.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo praylikejesus_zpsd775bb44.png" border="0" src="http://i1340.photobucket.com/albums/o737/tay_schulz/praylikejesus_zpsd775bb44.png" /></a></span></center>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
"At the center of our faith, and at the beginning and the end, is Jesus Christ. Who better to learn from about prayer than Jesus?" As soon as my pastor said this, I knew that this series was going to be something that I could really grow from. I pray, a lot. I've always believed in prayer as a part of my faith. I enjoy my conversations with our Heavenly Father and I have never looked upon it as a chore. Praying usually comes with a sense of momentary peace, when all the worries that lay a heavy burden on my life slip away into the hands of God. But I'll be honest and admit that I don't pray enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
How is your prayer life? Could it be better? I imagine that almost everyone, no matter how long you have committed your life to Jesus, can admit that their prayer life could use an uplift. I am not alone here. And neither are you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
First of all, take a minute to remind yourself what a wonderful privilege it is to be able to pray to our God. And what a privilege it is to look at the prayer life of Jesus through scripture. From this, we are able to reflect on and see how we can model his ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Prayer is <b>communication</b>. It's talking to God. It's God listening to you. It's a conversation. How do you best communicate with God? Do you pray silently? Do you pray out loud with your children, friends, or family? Do you write your prayers? However it is that you pray, be sure to take part in the listening aspect of the conversation. This is something I need to work on myself. More often than not, I don't devote the time I should to listen in the silence. How can I hear what God has to say to me, if I'm not listening? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Jesus models prayer as a way of life. Looking into Matthew 6, we read what Jesus tells us how not to pray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<i><span class="text Matt-6-5" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;">5 </sup>“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing<sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-23288D" title="See cross-reference D">D</a>)"></sup> in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"></span><span class="text Matt-6-6" id="en-NIV-23289" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;">6 </sup>But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father,<sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-23289E" title="See cross-reference E">E</a>)"></sup> who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="text Matt-6-7" id="en-NIV-23290" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;">7 </sup>And when you pray, do not keep on babbling<sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-23290F" title="See cross-reference F">F</a>)"></sup> like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.<sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-23290G" title="See cross-reference G">G</a>)"></sup></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span class="text Matt-6-8" id="en-NIV-23291" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span class="woj"><sup class="versenum" style="font-size: 0.75em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;">8 </sup>Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need<sup class="crossreference" style="font-size: 0.65em; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: top;" value="(<a href="#cen-NIV-23291H" title="See cross-reference H">H</a>)"></sup> before you ask him.</span></span></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
When you express your faith, don't look like the hypocrites. The last place you need to look is to the spiritually loud religious people, who in the midst of prayer go on and on and on and you start to wonder how they got there. You don't need to speak a certain way in order to pray.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
If you want to test your true motives for doing something, do it in private so no one notices. Like when you do something for your significant other, don't tell them. It's a selfless service. In a similar way, Jesus is saying to pray in private. Where the conversation can just be you and God. Where the focus is ultimately on the Lord. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Prayer is also not mindless repetition of the same thing over and over. Prayer shouldn't be the empty phrases that you say that are kind of like a rhyme and haven't originated in your heart at all. Like a message from the automated customer service representative on the phone. Instead, believers are called out to live an honest and open relationship with God our Father. Don't make prayer harder than it really is by trying to be fancy. To pray like Jesus is about humility, not boasting. Keep it simple, personal, heartfelt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I hope that my translation of these verses are able to provide you with room for growth in your prayer life. I encourage you to continue reading chapter 6 of Matthew and even go through the book of John. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
I also encourage you to <a href="http://confessionsofabusybusybee.blogspot.com/">come say hi and introduce yourself</a>! I'd love to get to know you!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>AMEN!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have came to this conclusion so far my thirties do not agree with me! Ever since I have turned 30 I have either been sick myself, one of my kids or husband has been sick, my internet got struck by lightening and out for a few days, and I can't seem to accomplish anything. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{and I haven't even been 30 for 30 days yet for crying out loud, ha}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for some Good News I *think* I am finally starting to recover. This last week was NO FUN. But while I was laying in bed SICK I kept getting great ideas in my head {like I always seem to do when I am trying to rest...does anyone else think of anything and everything when they need to sleep??}...WELL anyways do you think I could remember all those ideas or things I really wanted to say on here etc....you guessed it ...NOPE :(</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SORRY</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So regardless I havent wrote much lately because I have not been myself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lying around has depressed me I guess?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My anxiety has not been the best and I have been stressed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't want to write anything that was more then mood I was in than who I really am so I just stayed in bed and thought of great things =) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously I do hope none of you get the bug that has been around my house...it is NO JOKE!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even read on another friends Facebook last night that the doctor said it could last even at least 14 days with the symptoms on and off....OH, I PRAYED ....PLEASE NO!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aslo I wanted to thank you all for your prayers and emails, etc for my sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(PLEASE forgive me once again if I still haven't got caught up on replying to emails either) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has been having a rough few days since her surgery and I cannot thank you enough for your prayers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each one means so much to me and my family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so ready for her and my mom to come back home!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways...it sure does feel nice to get out of bed and start feeling like myself again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello This Little Life of Mine readers!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm Breanna & I blog over at <a href="http://friebr01.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Silver Lining</a>!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YtXqYq6__GE/UUDUPYnuC-I/AAAAAAAAFBY/v4ezNJ5h7S0/s1600/59bbb48c-6188-46b6-8f3f-48a4eeaccd05_zps8895ac0c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YtXqYq6__GE/UUDUPYnuC-I/AAAAAAAAFBY/v4ezNJ5h7S0/s400/59bbb48c-6188-46b6-8f3f-48a4eeaccd05_zps8895ac0c.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm 24 years old & from Minnesota. I just graduated from nursing school in December & passed my nursing license test in February. I'm excited to get started on my nursing career!<br />
<br />
I <i>love</i> country music. <b>Any</b> country music. I will listen to it all. Country music is the best kind :)<br />
<br />
My favorite city is Nashville. I took my dream Spring Break trip there two years ago with my college roomies. We had a blast & my dream goal would be to work at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital & live in Nashville.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v0UJ6UJjtrc/UJkl9Os34WI/AAAAAAAAEUw/-lxPE2J0SN8/s1600/196380_1645038527373_1279170037_31448700_7199437_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-v0UJ6UJjtrc/UJkl9Os34WI/AAAAAAAAEUw/-lxPE2J0SN8/s400/196380_1645038527373_1279170037_31448700_7199437_n.jpg" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Even though I'm partial to country music, I will listen to pretty much any feel good tunes. So I thought I would share some of my current songs that make me want to throw on my sunglasses, let my hair down, and roll down the windows in the car (<i>and pretend it's not 10* in MN!</i>).<br />
<br />
<br />

I have a prayer request.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My oldest sister has <a href="http://www.wichiaricenter.org/oth/Page.asp?PageID=OTH000006" target="_blank">Chiari Malformation</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She (with my Mom and her hubby) will be flying several states away this weekend for her to have brain surgery this coming Monday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have full faith she will do great....we serve the ULTIMATE PHYSICIAN after all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT I would greatly appreciate all your prayers and I know she would as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please pray for safe flights and trips and for my sister as she undergoes major surgery,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
PLease pray for the surgeon that he will let God guide him as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also keep my nieces in your prayers as their mom is gone and recovers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here are 2 videos my sister has shared on her facebook page to give your a better explanation of Chiari then I could ever do myself.</div>

There are so many things I love... GOD being the most. But I also love hearing other believers share their stories. I love how we can see God in our lives. I also love music as I have shared many times before and that country and christian music are my favorites. Well I have found all the above combined here. Have you ever visited or heard of <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/" target="_blank">I am Second</a>? Well I could quite possibly send hours watching all the videos. I was really tempted to share at least 10 with you in this post alone. They are all so good and inspiring. Anyways I chose Josh Turner :) I have always loved his voice and his songs and I just really wanted to share his video today as he talks and then explains his song...that I have also shared. :) I think both videos have such a powerful message. And PLEASE check out the rest of the videos and stories too. They are all amazing. I am sure there is something there anyone can relate to.<br />
<br />
Some of my other favorites : <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/trevor-bayne/" target="_blank">Trevor Bayne</a>, <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/jason-castro/" target="_blank">Jason Castro</a>, <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/bethany-hamilton/" target="_blank">Bethany Hamilton</a>, <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/bailee-madison/" target="_blank">Bailee Madison</a>, <a href="http://www.iamsecond.com/seconds/annie-lobert/" target="_blank">Annie Lobert</a>, AND SO MANY MORE. I don't think there is one I did not enjoy. I have joined the challenge and maybe you will too? <br />
