HAPPY BIRFDAY GUITARGIRL!!!! :)

Tomorrow is one of my best friend's Birfday and I wanted to honor her today:)
She is such an awesome friend and I am so thankful the Lord brought us two together. We are so alike and goofy together and it's just awesome being her friend.
There are totally a million and more reasons to like her! She's more like a sister to me and I love her so much!!
Even though we live miles apart and have only known each other for just a couple of years and we've never met face-to-face, I feel like I've known her forever. She was actually the one to tell me she wanted to e-mail back and forth and I was like "that's so totally awesome!!". I don't know why she would want ME to be her friend but I am so thankful for her!
Please note: none of these pictures are taken by me.
She has always wanted a pony and since I can't actually get her one, this is the best I can do, lol!

She also loves blue, so here is a blue whale:)

Her beloved Newsboys:)

Her *good buddies* and one of her favorite bands Article One:)

Her Pittsburgh Steelers:)

She LOVES "X-Files"!!

A Chocolate Ice Cream cake because she loves Ice cream!! :) Happy Birthday Guitargirl!!! Love you bunches!!!

Grace be with you!

Ever Wondered What The Inside of A Frozen Egg Looked Like?


Well, now ya know!
Friday we did lotsa grocery shopping but were too tired to put the meat in the freezer so we put it in the fridge until last night. While going through the stuff in the fridge I remembered that we only had one egg left in one of our cartons, so I took it out and put it in the freezer, haha!
A lil while ago I took it out and it had already cracked a teeny tiny bit and was too hard to just crack it or take the shell off so I cut it in half and this is what it looks like! I wish you could see it close up 'cause it looks better but this is a nice pic too. I know it's a rather large pic but just wanted to make sure you could see the inside well enough!

Ok, good news....Man U beat Derby 4-1:p Haha, we're advancing to the next round and they're NOT!! LOL>:)
Well, laters (as my good friend Guitargirl likes to say;))!

What do you think of your friends? "O Holy Night" by Barlow Girl...umm, ok.

What will you post this as? "Blue Horizon" by 38th Parallel

Ok, onto other stuff.
First of all, an update on my Pawpaw. It turns out they will not be performing the surgery because it's too risky on a man of his age. He's home now and Mommy said she thinks he'll be able to do what he did before just taking it slowly. See, the main reason he was in the hospital was because of fluid around his heart and they got that taken care of. Mommy isn't a doctor but she knows her stuff....ya know why? 'Cause Mommy's always know:) More prayer though.
Now, my Mawmaw had to go to the hospital (his wife) because she was having a "spell" as she calls it. She has diabetes and her blood sugar was MUCH too low. Thankfully my Aunt was staying the night with her (my Daddy and his siblings have been taking turns spending the night there since Pawpaw was in the hospital) so she was there to call 911. She is home now too. So since all this happened with both of them within a week my Aunt is going to stay there again tonight. Praise God they're both alright though.

Onto my answers for the song game I put up:

1. "We All Need" by Esterlyn...Guitargirl got that one!!
2. "How In The World" by Family Force 5
3. "Daylight" by Brave Saint Saturn...I didn't think anyone would get that...
4. "Horizon" by 38th Parallel....WildWeazel got this one!
5. "Washed By The Water" by NEEDTOBREATHE....Guitargirl got this one too!!!
6. "Light Up Ahead" by Further Seems Forever....WildWeazel got this one too!
7. "One More Round" by Barlow Girl
8. "Steal Away" by Celtic Thunder
9. "My Heart Belongs To You" by Hayley Westenra
10. "Come On You Reds" by Status Quo....lol, I knew no one would get this one unless they were a Manchester United fan:p

We went out for a while yesterday and I got a pink Ipod Nano and a sweet dock/CD player!! Woo hoo! We looked for me a pair of cowgirl boots, but alas, couldn't find any I liked, oh well. At least I got my Ipod and dock....and my Ipod is PINK!!!! What more could a girl ask for?? Save for Guitargirl 'cause she would rather have a blue or black one....for SOME reason, lol! Ya know I love ya girly!!
Ugh, on more thing I have been awarded by Guitargirl with a lil Lemonade Award thingy, lol, and I would also like to give it to the ladies of My Simple Blessed Life and Mommy. The only Problem is I don't really know how to....so just use the "lemonade stand" picture to the right.
There's another one that I added over there too and that one goes to Guitargirl and Mommy because the ladies at My Simple Blessed Life gave it to me:)
I best go now!
TTFN!

Prayer For My Pawpaw

Hello everyone,
Do you ever wake up one day and think it's going to be a nice day and then it turns out to be not so nice?
That happened today. My Pawpaw is in the hospital and has been there since Saturday (I think). He was rushed there because he was having trouble breathing.
We went to visit him today and when we were leaving the Doctor came in...
It turns out that my Pawpaw will have to have 4 bypass surgery and needs 2 valves replaced.
It's a long procedure and it's scary.
While the Dr. was talking to us I noticed Pawpaw was doing everything he could to keep us from seeing him cry. When we left Mommy and I kind of got teary eyed and we knew Pawpaw was crying.
I know he's scared, we're all scared.
I don't know when the surgery is going to be, but I ask for prayers please. As many prayers as we can get.
Now Daddy is staying with Mawmaw tonight and it's windy and rainy and stormy and it's just not a good night. I want everything to be back to normal. I want my Pawpaw to be ok, I want my Daddy home and as much as I love thunderstorms I would rather go without one tonight.
The Lord did show us a beautiful rainbow today though, I am thankful for that.
I know this is all in the Lord's hands and I'm trying so hard not to worry or be afraid.
Our Dear Lord Jesus Christ says in Luke 12:25:
And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
I am trying so hard to hold fast to that.
I just can't stand thinking of Pawpaw being there alone crying.
Thank you brothers and sisters.
Alive because of His Blood,
Bekah

Song Game

Can y'all guess what songs these lyrics go to? :p

1. And we all need faith, the faith to love all that You are, and we all need love, when there's no hope beyond the door, and we all need hope, the hope to live for something more.

2. How in the world did I find someone like you? Why in the world after all that we've been through? If you weren't here with me right now, then I don't know what I'd do. In all of the world, I found my heart in you.

3. Daylight, save me, daylight, save me tonight, oh tonight.

4. So here at the end of this day where the world is shaded in gray, I will look to blue horizons and watch for you to come.

5. Even when the rain falls, even when the flood starts rising, even when the storm comes, I am washed by the water.

6. And all these bad dreams I wake up to the Light and when I can't see, I wake up to your eyes, wake me up. There's a Light up ahead, there's a Light up ahead, yeah, there's a Light up ahead, wake me up, there's a Light up ahead, wake me up.

7. So take me one more round I'll just keep fighting one more round, you're messin' me up but I'm still here. One more round, I'll come out swingin' one more round, I'm tellin' ya now I'm not gonna lose it here.

8. Steal away let's steal away no reason left to stay, for me and you let's start a new and darling steal away.

9. I lie awake to hear you breathe, only you can fill the need that builds and burns so deep inside me, inside me.

10. Just like the Busby babes in days gone by, we'll keep the red flags flying high. You've got to see yourself from far and wide. You've got to hear the masses sing with pride....

Hehe, there ya go! I don't really see anyone getting 3 and 10, but we'll see;)
I tag the ladies at Mysimpleblessedlife and Mommy:)
