Okay, so I am counting down 'till Christmas/or Christbirth if you prefer(Since the mas in Christmas does come from the catholic Sunday tradition)
So I thought it would be allot of fun to do a 18 random acts of kindness countdown!
So here we go, No.1
Today I cleaned the kitchen, dining room, and the living room spotless.
My mom doesn't have time to do it and any time I can save her goes a long way.
So I was going to do a before and after picture shoot but my mom said, "I wouldn't want people to come over with my house a mess much less see it."lol
So I will let you see pictures of after i cleaned the living room.

That's about it!

If you want to join me in this awesome Christmas countdown leave a comment  and I'll put a link to your blog for you guys to join me.

And every day I am also doing a your favorite Christmas tradition countdown, so every day if you guys could leave a comment telling me your favorite Christmas tradition that would be awesome.

Ain't that sickening!

Okay, so I have horrible news for me and everyone else out there.
I'm Sick!!!!!
It first started yesterday evening, I went to bed with a sore throat; of course I thought nothing it, I mean sore throats are part of Fall\Winter.
In the middle of the night I woke up not being able to find a comfortable spot in my bed because every way I turned my bones ached I mean from my pinky toe to my Cranium,PAIN.
Well after trying to find a comfortable spot for about 1 hour I found one but I couldn't fall asleep!
So 7+ hours were spent just laying in a pool of pain.
Well I ended up falling half asleep and....Waking up the next morning feeling Blah!
I went to my moms room and woke her up so she could get me some Tylenol.
I then went down stairs and sat in my dads recliner until......I felt something in my stomach moving, I rushed to the bathroom and you guys can guess what happened next. Ewwwwww!

I came up stairs and my mom gave me some Tylenol.
Well after falling asleep and waking up again in a sweat, (from the fever breaking.)
I felt pretty good and I decided to be productive, so I brushed my teeth, did my hair, put perfume on and decided to write a post.
And now I'm not feeling so hot so I'm gonna go wallow in self pity.

If any of you are Prayer warriors please pray that I'll be better eventually soon.

How to boost your confidence with preforming in front of people!

Ok so this morning I played "Amazing grace," on my violin at our church.
I was so nervous I thought I might cry!
I mean it's so easy to mess up especially with sweaty hands that slip and slide.
So here are some things I did to boost my confidence and to hold in my , um....sweat.
1.I wore a bright colored purse, bright colors make you happy or at least me.
2.I wore high heals, cause when I get nervous I slouch and they help me to stand tall and feel almost powerful over my nervousness.
And....
3.I kept calm...cool...and collect.
These 3 little words come from a song from a movie called "Miss London Ltd."
Here is the song...

Basically keep calm, don't lose your cool, and collect on the blessings you'll be given for serving the Lord.
