Thursday, August 05, 2010. Wellit's been a while since I got back from Haiti but the country and the people there are still very much in my heart and on my mind. I thought I'd share a few photos from my trip. This is where we slept. There were three of these buildings. We arrived on the 4th of July, so the Haitians hung an American flag for us! This was definitely a foreshadowing of how awesome these people are! Here are a few more pics from the place we stayed:. I miss these ladies! That's all, I suppose.

Wednesday, September 01, 2010. Be·lieve [bih- leev. Benevolence of, etc. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt. Because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. Highlight of the day:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, October 06, 2008. What doesn't kill.right? I've been feeling overwhelmed. These days - as though i have way too much on my plate and that maybe i've gotten myself in over my head. However, i know i will survive. What doesn't kill, makes stronger). 25 days til Halloween. 52 days til Thanksgiving. 80 days til Christmas. As bad as i sometimes want to count down the days, i need to resist that temptation and live for today, focusing on the blessings that each one is bringing. Most of the time).

Monday, December 21, 2009. Most wonderful time of the year! Soit's the most wonderful time of the year! This Christmas season our church. Had the amazing opportunity to decorate the home of a sweet family who are getting back on their feet again. They have four kids, but only the two youngest were home while we decorated. Both are girls - they are precious and made the afternoon so much fun! One of them kept singing a Christmas song that went: "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, to Santa, to Santa! Has be...

Tuesday, October 05, 2010. It's kind of great how the Lord knows exactly WHAT to teach you and HOW to do it. Year (a vague synopsis):. Lesson one: aha moment - women's retreat, listening to kari jobe's the more i seek you (last spring). Lesson two: aha moment - reading psalms under the mosiquito net on my bed in haiti (july). Lesson three: aha moment - reading james at home (early august). Lesson four: aha moment - learning about the same psalm from months earlier (mid september). Most of the time).

Mandy Candy: October 2011
http://smandeville.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Watched the new brad pitt movie "moneyball" sunday night. great stuff. this could stem from the fact that i like just about anything pitt does, but it correlated with some stuff i've been thinking on lately. But here's the deal:. That being said, beane (pitt) decides it's time to try something new. he decides to try a new system based off a book previously written with mathematics being the determining factor, not the eyes of scouts and what naturally seems right. And this is wh...

Mandy Candy: March 2012
http://smandeville.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. How/why i got engaged. From March 16th to 25th, my ex-girlfriend (current fiance). And I went to a conference that the organization we work for puts on down in Panama City Beach, Florida! We went with a few of our good friends and after having a really great time at the conference, we came to our last night on the trip. We had discussed celebrating our "year and a half anniversary" of dating in Florida and boy did we! While what was communicated there will remain private, I walked...

Mandy Candy: December 2013

Tuesday, December 24, 2013. If Christmas wasn't a holiday. 8220;You don’t know what you have until it’s gone” is a paradox. We obviously know what we have because we are currently experiencing “having it”. I think it’s more that you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone. If the birth of a small Jewish boy named Jesus in the tiny Middle Eastern country east of the Mediterranean Sea over 2,000 years ago didn’t happen, how different would our lives look? 8220;Remember Red, hope. Instead, the life, ...

Mandy Candy: how expensive is love?
http://smandeville.blogspot.com/2013/01/how-expensive-is-love.html
Tuesday, January 15, 2013. How expensive is love? Gosh i love a good "animal friends" picture. You may as well give her your bass boat, hunting equipment, fry daddy and put your wallet on top and give it to her, because that's what it could cost you. If it doesn't cost you, it isn't love.". The statement was absolute: if love is to be given, there will be a cost. I know that love is a choice, whether we're aware of it or not, to give preference to another person. This tells me that human nature is to con...
