Movie Blog

Ok here's my movie blog. I will try to post on every movie I see from this point, sort of like a review blog okay. Ok the last movie I saw was called "Fighting" I can't remember the name of the star, but Terrance Howard is like the street coach in the movie. The movie was good. It was a good story about this ordinary dude that gets involved in street fighting for money. I got some revelation from this movie, because the believer is constantly in a spiritual warfare and sometimes the battle gets intense! With every fight he had, it got harder and harder but he never lost. Then of course there was this girl that he fell in love with. (always a love story somewhere) I liked this movie because everybody in the movie was like an ordinary person you could look outside your window and see. It was like they took a videocamera and followed some people around New York. The movie wasn't vulgar, or overly bloody either, it was a good watch. Terrance Howard really potrayed his character well, I've never seen him act like that before, I thought he did good. Even the ending was good, usually with good movies-the ending is always corny or bad, but this one was good. NO worries, I won't tell you how it ended. But this is a good movie for you and the hubby to go see, its' not a 'guy' movie, both of you can enjoy it.

I'm going to try and rate my movies based on : Who would I recommend to watch them? (like a family movie, a couple's movie, guy flick, chick flick etc....)

This is a good couple's movie!

What I took from the movie? Never give up, keep fighting to win and on the spiritual side: God is into Ordinary People!

Go see it.

morning world

Good morning world
I'm in a cheery mood, my little son woke me up with the funniest words this morning. He had a little morning 'gas' going on in his diaper and it scared him so much he yelled out "mommy, popcorn in my pee pee". LOL> I had to jump up and laugh. It's amazing to see how children see things. Speaking of children, I'm thankful for my Father this morning (God). He always picks me up when I'm down. Just this week alone I was so down and discouraged. I felt like I couldn't even be in God's presence, but then I picked up his word (the bible) and his Holy Spirit reminded me that I can always come boldly to God's throne of Grace, that God is faithful and just to forgive me-when I confess my sins to Him. I'm just so thankful for God's grace and faithfulness to me. I really love Him and I'm so thankful that he loves me. The same way I won't throw my son away when he makes a mistake, God doesn't throw me away.
I'm just so grateful to know him and I pray you are too.
Happy Friday. Enjoy the weekend, keep smiling and keep pressing!

Get Grillin

This post is for all my people out there that love grilled food! OH how I love cook outs-bbq's, whatever you call it, I love to eat food fresh from a hot grill. The hubby and I recently purchased a 'real'grill, you know a good sized. lean-mean grilling machine. every since we got it, we've been grilling away! I've discovered some new recipes along the way, so for all you beginners out there, here are some tips to having a good cook out.
1. Always start with a menu. Decide what your going to grill up and this is easy because all you have to decide is what you like to eat. If your inviting people over, call them up and find out what they like to eat.
2. Season all your meat hours ahead of time,this will give your meat more flavor. Now you dont' have to go out and buy expensive seasonings, use what you got in your spice rack_dont be afraid to get creative. Also, never underestimate the power of salt n pepper.
3. Use the internet for recipe ideas, my fav site is BHG.com, they have basic recipes that will impress any guest. I also buy 'rubs' and 'marinades' to put on my meats and veggies.
4. Dont forget the basics like: plastic cutlery, paper plates, cups and a cooler of ice. (makes for easy clean up)
5. Enjoy the cook out and make sure your guests have a good time. Try playing music to create a good atmosphere or playing a game outside.
OH and always plan for rain since it's spring/summer. You can purchase one of those portable tents-if you can afford one or be prepared to rush everything inside if your deck isn't covered.
Have fun!

It's amazing

It's amazing to me that you can wake up one morning so excited, so amped, so full of joy and the next morning could be the direct opposite. ever wake up discouraged, sad, depressed or even defeated? Feelings! that's the reason, we all have them and they function in full strength everyday. I know we've been taught to trust our feelings, but I have found in my walk with God that feelings can't always be trusted. For instance, you might feel like a complete failure today--but if you really take a step back and look at your life you can find many places where you have succeeded, so how can you be a complete failure? See, you can't follow your feelings/emotions because they will betray you. If I listen to how I feel today, agree with my emotions today-then I would be defeated. Yet I know that the Word of God goes against me feeling negative or down about myself, so I have to train myself to agree with God and not my emotions. Dont get me wrong, your feelings and emotions do serve a purpose in your life, they are there for a reason (this is what makes us human) but they are not there to dominate and control how you behave! So I'm encouraging you and myself today, dont fall prey to negative feelings, get yourself up, open your blessed mouth and start speaking the Word of God over yourself and your life!
Be loved, Be blessed

Today

Today I woke up and my mind was streaming a million thoughts! Our brains never sleep I thought to myself. One thing I'm thinking of is the message my husband preached at a youth service on yesterday. The message was titled "I just want to see Jesus" He went on to talk about a man in the bible named Zaccheus who climbed a tree to see Jesus. Now, I won't preach his sermon over, but I want to highlight some points that stuck with me this morning. One point was "don't let your issues keep you from Jesus" I loved this point because we all have issues, or problems, no matter who we are! Yet Christ is not afraid of your issues, nor does he run away from you when you have them, in fact-He seeks after you. I was so encouraged to hear this, so thrilled to know that Christ loves me and my issues. I reflect on people that wouldn't even give me the time of day because they knew I had issues, but Christ never gives up on me he keeps loving me. One other point, not only do we seek after Jesus, but he is seeking us, the both of us are pursuing each other! I'm just so glad to be saved today and to be loved by God. He loves us all, He died for us all and I just wanted to share that with the world Today!

Give me that fire

Hey All,
I'm feeling really inspired and encouraged today. I recently heard this powerful song by a dude named Ambassador. As I listened to the words of the song, I immediately felt his passion for Christ and of course that made me check my own. It's always refreshing to me, when I see someone that holds the same passion and love for Christ that I have.
Anyhow, in the song he's praying for God to give him that 'fire', you know that burning burden that comes from above! This fire (I believe) is given through the power of the Holy Spirit and it equips the believer to go even harder for God. I don't know about you guys, but I want to do all I can while I can FOR CHRIST! What's the point in going to church every sunday and never creating change for the kingdom?
We have to take our FIRE and spread it to the world! The love God shows us must be shared with all and though we might be afraid-we still are charged to do it!
I encourage anyone reading this blog, to join up with your witnessing team at church and get out their and fish for more souls to be added to the Kingdom of God. If your church doesn't have one, ask your leader to start one up or join a sister church that has one. Get up and get going! People are dying everyday and we hold the cure-Jesus Christ yall.
Yes I believe, no I can't be persuaded otherwise, Christ is the answer for the world yesterday, today and forever more!
Thanks for the FIRE God.
Love
Remnant Chick

My First

Whassup anybody, everybody!
This is my first blog, so bear with me and I promise to get better.
It's about two in the afternoon and I am taking a break from cleaning. I have been cleaning like a mad woman not only for spring, but to prepare for my much anticipated mother's day weekend. This week I will be hosting my 2cnd mother's day fashion show. I'm so excited, last year was a blast and I'm hoping this year will be the same. It's so much fun getting together with other moms and just being ourselves. I personally think Moms have the hardest job in the world (probably because I'm a stay at home mom), so I wonder why we only get ONE day to be celebrated! I mean really I would have no problem being pampered and celebrated every week for the remaining years of my life! Anyhow, the joy that shows on these mother's faces when we gather to party like no tomorrow-is all the satisfaction I need for Mother's day. No one gets drunk, high or out of their mind-we celebrate Jesus style and we do it with a bang! Hubby has a new grill so he wants to show off his cooking skills this weekend. I'm delighted, but I sure hate all the preparation that happens before it all goes down. Enough enough, I'm rambling because I'm in desperate need of a nap. I've been mopping, sweeping, washing and doing some of every thing else to make this house sparkle and I'm still not done! Well gotta go, I promise the next blog will be more interesting. I'm just an average Joe (well guess it would be Joanne, since i'm a girl), yeah, I'm just an average Joanne with a lot to say and a love for writing. Till we meet again, be blessed, be happy and keep checking out my blogs.
Peace
