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

"Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" ~ the Story and the Song

If you do not read my other blog, click  HERE  see what this is all about. :)  It has came to my attention that many of my blogger friends are not familiar with one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem". If you are one of them, this is for you. ;)  When looking up the lyrics to this song online, I realized that they're not  exactly  the same as we sing at church. So below is the words to this song from our church hymnal. ;-)  "Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem" Verse one: Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem Shining afar through shadows dim Giving a light for those who long have gone (have gone)  And guiding the wise men on their way Unto the place where Jesus lay Beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on (shine on)  Chorus:  **Oh beautiful star (beautiful, beautiful star) of Bethlehem (star of Bethlehem) Shine upon us until the glory dawn (glory dawn)  Oh Give us thy light to light the way Into the land of perf

Third Blogiversary {A Giveaway}

Greetings, readers! I'm officially back from my May hiatus! (Yes, I was supposed to post last week and forgot. xD) If you'd like to hear about my May trip, I'd suggest keeping an eye on my other blog next week. And speaking of blogs... This weekend marks three years since I joined the blogosphere! Blogging has definitely been a journey for me, and one that I have very much enjoyed. I'm not sure where life will take me in the coming years, but for now I'm sticking with blogging as a hobby. Stories by Firefly is my writer/author platform, and Chosen Vessels is my little spot to share my thoughts and my faith. A blog wouldn't be nearly so much fun without all of my lovely followers. As much as I would love to give something special to each and every one of you, it's just not a feasible plan. So I'm doing the next best thing—a giveaway with two winners! First Place will receive this darling leather journal. The front has a quote from 1 C
