Announcement! // Catch-up on Life

-
So...it's been far to long since I've posted here. Sorry!! Things have been busy, but other than that I have no excuse. :) First I'm just gonna ramble for a few minutes about...everything. ;) 


I somehow got talked into getting up at six o'clock AM and going crow-hunting with The Kid (my brother). I went all in, I guess you could say. Wore the face paint...


And the camo clothes and his outgrown waders. *rolls eyes* Yep, I'm questioning my sanity too. ;) For anyone who wants to know, no, we didn't kill any crows. :) We just sat on a tree that had fallen across the creek and ate deer jerky. Then moved to the tree hut porch for a awhile and walked home. :) 

Tree season is up and going for this year. There's been a few...difficulties. But all's well that ends well, right? ;) 
This weather just doesn't seem right. I'm wearing a t-shirt and shorts on Novemeber 7th in the mountains! 
Then, last night I came to the realization that it's 7 weeks to Christmas! S-C-A-R-Y-! Anyone got gift ideas? I don't. :-/ 
I've started a "Bookshelf Tour" on Stories By Firefly. For details and the first post, click here. 

I've rambled senselessly long enough..., on with my announcement!  A few weeks ago I was accepted as part of the B&H Blogger Group!! Woo-hoo!! This means that I will request books from B&H for free to review here. :) Sound like fun? I think so too. ^_^ 
My first book came yesterday. 

The Battle Plan for Prayer by Stephen and Alex Kendrick 

So as soon as I finish this book, I'll be posting my review. :) 

I believe that's all for today. I'll have some more posts up on this blog soon, promise!! ;D
Thanks for reading!

    Hunting for crows sounds sort of fun! Especially the tree hut part! Hey, welcome to the its-still-70-in-November club! I'm headed to check out your bookshelf tour right now!

      Hunting for crows wasn't as bad as I expected. :) This "70 in November" phenomena is so strange! Definitely not the usual. But it's about 45 this morning, so that's better. ;)

      Thank you for commenting, Ashley!! =D

    Hunting crows sounds like it might be fun! :) But that's probably because I've never hunted anything before. :P
    The book reviewing sounds awesome!! I can't wait to see what you think of that book! :D

      Well, crows is all I've hunted. Dad says he's gonna take me turkey hinting, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm not sure I want to go! ;P

      Thanks for commenting! :-)

    Sounds like you have had an interesting few days! Over here, across the country it's pretty cold in the mornings. Usually around the 30s. During the days it heats up though. I'm eager to read the book reviews!

      It seems that it's always 'interesting' around here. *sigh* :) It SHOULD be about that temperature here, but it's not. Not that I'm complaining! It's great for tree-season. ;)

      Thank you for reading, Bethany! ;D

Just a Little Update.

As you've probably noticed, this blog's posts have dwindled and have consisted of only book reviews since Christmas. Not what I promised, was it? I'm here today to talk about some things that I've been contemplating—and putting off, if we're going for honesty—for awhile. Now it's official, though. The decision is made, I'm happy with it, and I'm here to make the announcement. Chosen Vessels is closing. Okay, so that sounds much worse/drastic than this is actually going to be, but the gist of it is true. Sometime in March, I'll cease to update this blog. It won't be disappearing entirely, but I won't be posting here anymore. As I strive to strengthen the content of my main blog and create a better online author presence, I've come to realize that it's too confusing—not to mention time-consuming—to keep up with two blogs. Instead, I'll be posting something encouraging and/or something God has been showing me 2-4 weekends...

"Mary, Did You Know?" ~ the Story and the Song

-

This song was sang at church during the Christmas play last week (the 13th). And it really got me to thinking. Did  Mary know? I mean, she knew who He was, but how much of what He would go on to do did she know?  Seeing as how this song was written by my favorite comedian, I decided to share the story behind it. :)  //The Song// Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will one day walk on water? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will save our sons and daughters? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has come to make you new? This Child that you delivered,  Will soon deliver you.  Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Will give sight to a blind man? Mary, did you know, that your Baby Boy Would calm a storm with his hand? Did you know, that your Baby Boy Has walked where angels trod  And when you kiss your little Baby,  You've kissed the face of God?  Oh, Mary, did you know?  Mary, did you know?...

Sometimes...

Sometimes I dance to a song on the radio. Sometimes I stare off into midair for 7.56 minutes before noticing that I'm doing it. Sometimes I ramble off numbers that I just made up, numbers like 7.56. Sometimes I daydream in the shower. Sometimes I eat ice cream out of the carton. Sometimes I write stories so deep, dark, and dear to my heart that they will be forever hidden in a locked document, never to see the light of day. Sometimes I am very dramatic. Sometimes I fantasize about things that will probably never happen. Sometimes I dream that those things will actually be in my future.  Sometimes I watch sappy movies and read books that a lot of people would probably hate. Sometimes I reseal those little papers that band-aids are in so that someone will think there's still something inside of them. Sometimes it works and someone opens 9.2 of them before realizing they've been pranked.  Sometimes I write stories that leave me hurt and raw, and the...
