Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:23-24

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! {mine was good... I babysat, relaxed with my family and watching my packers win yet another game. I wasn't feeling well yesterday or today so that put a damper on my weekend so i'm praying for a better week} 

here's to a fabulous productive week! :]

p.s. how do you like my new header? :) 

preview of whats to come! :]

Samarah

new year=new look

its the first day of 2011!! 

With the new year, I felt like getting a new look for my blog. What do you think?? Isn't just so welcoming and cozy looking?! maybe I'm weird.... ;) oh and I changed my About Me page, its a more fun and interesting way to get to know me ;) check it out here
Thank you so much to those of you who commented on my "what's been happening in my life" post and said that you are praying for me. thank you, thank you. You all are so sweet! I'm not eating gluten and I've started working out every other day (im doing the 30 day shred with Jillian Michael's). The exercising is feeling great! aaaanndd... I haven't had a headache for the last 2 days! Woohoo!! Such an answer to prayer.I'm so glad I don't have to go the hospital...*sigh of relief* I do have a little one today but its because I'm not drinking enough water, so I gotta chug chug chug that water today ;)

with love,
Samarah

back :O) ( computer,featured bloggers and pictures!)

 Hey All!

Our computer is fixed! YAY ;D Also we couldn't get the pictures from our camera to the computer but my dad and I figured a way to get them on, that's why there hasn't been many pictures up on here. So later in the post there are some pictures :)

I've been wanting a more "fall" theme to my blog and I found this header ( I can't remember where). What do you think of it??

I would like to "feature" a  some blogs that I've found recently that I'm really enjoying reading!

Mandy at She Breathes Deeply

the blog of a woman who is striving to serve the Lord and her husband everyday and they are expecting their sweet girl Lily! (oh and she has a awesome sense of fashion and style ;)

Danielle at My Life-Author:God 

I just became of a follower of this cool girl today!

Mandy at A Sorta Fairytale

a devoted wife and the momma to an adorable little boy!
Kinsey at Arizona Vintage

I love all the random things that she posts! :)

Faith at Faith Teasley Photography 

( this girl has some amazing talent!) 

and
Katie at Like Jumping Out of a Airplane

A girl who is striving to glorify her Savior everyday and who loves Kutless! :D

Here are some pictures! :)

this is a series of pictures that I took while the sun was setting behind a cloud, you can see how it slowly sets :)

I love clouds!

this was a beautiful sunset

storm clouds.. *dramatic music in the background*

I posted these song lyrics on my mirror in my room.... I needed something to read and think about when I feel bad.
this one is from the song Dear X( you don't own me) by Disciple.

these lyrics are from Shadowfeet by Brooke Fraser

I'm still working on my blog design. I'm working on installing a custom font, editing my header etc.

I'm so glad that tomorrow is FRIDAY! ahh the end of the week... sounds good ;)

Love in Christ,
Samarah

*Update*

I really liked the last template I tried but It wouldn't let me arrange things on my sidebar like I wanted it too and it takes a really long time to get the menu links to go where you want them to. So I changed it to this one and I like it! What do you think? I wanted something fall colored and fresh :)

I'm trying a new fall template so be patient with me as I figure out if I want to keep it or not and as i play around with it :)
Thanks!
