TGIF!!

I just wanted to make sure everyone knew it was Friday...

Thank the Lord!! :) Have a great and safeweekend!

Thanks, Anne...

"What a splendid day!... I pity people who aren't born yet for missing it. They may have good days, of course, but they can never have this one." - Anne of Green Gables

Did you ever read the Anne of Green Gables book or watch the movies?
Growing up, this consumed probably 75% of my summers break. Maybe this is part of the reason why I feel so positive and euphoric about the world I live in sometimes. I would love to just go back to those days of learning from Anne and not having a care in the world besides deciding what adventure I am going to go on that day. I even consider my best friends "kindred spirits" because of Anne's influence:) Thanks Anne!

This u-tube video brought me to tears today. What an amazing picture of the spiritual battle going on for our souls.

Poison...in my GUM??

I just found out that aspartame is in almost every type of chewing gum. Did anyone else know this? I have totally been in the dark. If anyone knows of a type of gum that does not contain aspartame, let me know. It's poison people! And yes, you diet-cokeaholics, it's in there too. Put the bottle down, I plead with you! :)

And the praises continue!

As of today, baby Ethan is 100% Leukemia free! Our awesome God did a miracle in this little boy. They have checked his blood and his marrow and they are both 100% Leukemia free. This is a day, a year, to celebrate for what the Lord has done! Many have doubted from the beginning, and have thought that Ben, Ethan's dad was in denial or crazy for believing that God would heal him. But look what true believe does! The Bible says whatever you ask the Father for, and if you believe with all your heart, it will be granted to you!! That wasn't a bluff people. Go to Ethan's website and read the update, it will surely lift your spirits and remind you of what a great God we serve.

Also, I will be running/walking in the "Team Ethan" 5K in December in Memphis if anyone wants to join me!! Ethan may even be able to be there, which will just be mind-blowing. Tons of prayer warriors throughout this journey will be there. It will be just a great way to praise God together for this miracle and raise support for St. Jude as well. Go to www.myspace.com/teamethanpowell to sign up! We can carpoole!

Thank you Lord for what you have done!!

BIG NEWS!!!

If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit obsessed with baby Ethan and his fight with Leukemia. I just wanted to share with you some GREAT news!!! After the cell-engrafting procedure, where his dad's cells were transplanted into Ethan's blood, the doctors said this had a slim chance of working...well??? Results came back, and the cells definitely engrafted and they are 100% DONOR CELLS! What does this mean? 0% Leukemia!!! I just wanted to share with you how awesome our God is and what prayer and true believing can do:) Go to the website to read it for yourself. This picture below is of Ethan and his dad Ben.

4th of July Pics...

Ok, this is a little late but oh well! We had a blast that night...first we had a cookout at our place and then we all went downtown and got on top of the roof of "The Globe" (used to be Planet Hollywood) so we had a spectacular view. Good times:)

ooh, scary. We were very high up so looking over the edge was a little nerve racking...but hey, anything for a good photo opp:) Happy 4th!
