October 9, 2009, "Amazing Race, Family Night"

By -
Normally I don't post anything but devotional writings...however, I had to celebrate my beautiful daughter. I am very grateful to God for allowing my wonderful husband and I to get to be her parents. Sometimes we look at her in awe! I tease her all the time, yet there is great truth in jest when I say, "I get to be your mom? You're my daughter? Wow!" She responds so faithfully, "Mom, stop! You say that all the time!" She is hilarious, precious and her heart is so passionate for life and I love her innocence to want to remain a child...

She is so kind and thoughtful as her school had an 'Amazing Race' Theme PTO Family Night, along with a fabulous Book Fair. She allowed me to utilize her as my 'prop' for our country that we represented. I did allow her to take a quick break to get her passport stamped from all the different countries. The 'theme' allowed visitors to 'travel' to the 7 Continents in an hour ~ so cute and everyone did a fabulous job.

We represented South Korea. Of course, my mom is Korean and my dad is American (Half Lebanese and Half German). I love the Korean culture and just the country itself, I desire to visit there one day soon.


Grandpa and Grandma came for a surprise visit; Tristin and I were very blessed that they came.
Below is a picture of Tristin and a photo of Grandma when she was 18 years old in her hanbok.

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell Photograph from Google  "Don't be afraid, for I Am with you.  Do not be dismayed, for I Am your God.  I will strengthen you, I will help you.  I will uphold you with my victorious right hand." ~ GOD, as recorded in Isaiah 41:10 The Lord God is with you! He is your God! Almighty Lord God is your Strengthener! The Lord is your Helper! He is our God, Who is Truth! In Truth, we must remember that He is the Upholder; upholding us with His victorious right hand! Notice Who is on the Right Hand of the Father...JESUS! JESUS UPHOLDS US WITH WHO HE IS! As we remind ourselves Who God is, there is a very little chance to be afraid or dismayed. Can you imagine when we begin to practice and exercise such Truth? The circumstances, tests and difficulties of life become afraid and dismayed of the incredible Faith in our God that squashes any attempts of those defeated

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell "Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established." ~Proverbs 16:3 ~ It was Monday and I was doing the normal thing; driving to the grocery store. I was planning on going to this particular store which I enjoy frequenting. However, this day I was convicted to commit even this 'to do' moment to Him. I prayed to the Lord to guide my steps and as I was driving I was led to go to a different store which I do not like to frequent because of the great lack in customer service. But as I looked back upon that irritation, for me to complain about not having a good customer service experience is truly not suffering. Perspective was put back into its proper place...I was reminded to have options to go anywhere while others experience true suffering was insulting to those who truly suffer; especially for the cause of Christ Jesus. Hence, as I drove to this particular s

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell  "And the King will say to them, "I assure you, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" ~ Jesus ~  As recorded in Matthew 25:40 Do you have that "blah" feeling at times?  You know those moments where you see things in a dingy, gray tone?  Those days of 'slump & slug'.  A dear friend of mine and I were sharing with we felt in the midst of those times.  We were also reminding one another of that mighty weapon from the Lord to praise Him through the 'blah' season.  Even in the 'blah' the Lord is showing us how to 'applaud' Him.  From 'blah' to 'applaud'...now that's some warfare over the mind that allows us to remind ourselves of that peace and Shalom that is already within us.  That supernatural, beyond our understanding to comprehend peac
