Photoshoot

Jake and I had a little photoshoot today. Above are my favorites :)

I need YOUR help!

So...I've decide I AM going to try out for the Voice on August 30th. I mean, why not. What is there to lose?

I need to have 2 songs ready (to sing A Capella) for the producers. I'm not sure if Ill be singing the WHOLE song, or just 30 seconds? It doesn't say.

Since I like to sing country, I was thinking I would do a country song, then a pop song.

Its SO hard narrowing it down to just 2. I also wondered if I should do a popular song from an artist, or a song that is not so popular.

Below are the videos/songs of my potential choices. SOME of you are lucky enough to have heard me sing some of these songs...but for those of you haven't..what would you chose for me?? Remember the first auditon has to be A Capella- no music. just me.

For country, I was thinking Whitney Duncan, Sugarland, or Sara Evans.

Here is the Whitney Duncan- Skinny Dippin song

Here is Sugarland- Baby Girl

and last Sara Evans- Stronger


Now for a pop song. This is where I'm not sure which way I should go.
I was thinking Sara Barielles, Rhianna or........thats all I've got. Any Suggestions???

Sara Barielles- Love song or Vegas?

Vegas

Rhianna- Take a bow



There you have it. What do YOU think??? Any other songs you would suggest???

please please pleas help a sista out! ;)

To continue...

with my moaning and groaning:

I was reading Nailstah's blog and usually shes all about nailpolish and such, but she was on a ranting about a few different things and this one I had to agree with. She said this:

"5. Job hunting.. sooo… jobs want to hire someone with experience. But, they won’t hire you because you don’t have experience. So, how are you supposed to get a job that only hires someone with experience when you don’t have experience. *shrug* the vicious cycle known as life."

pretty much sums up my job search as of now.

the end.

Update (from previous post)

I never got "the call."

I'm assuming I didn't get the job and am moving on.

I'm no longer looking at teaching ideas on pintrest or proteacher...but now looking at substitute forms and ideas to keep the kids under control.

Oh well. I'm building a bridge and getting over it.

I'm thinking maybe God didn't let me have this job because:
1. He wants me to spend more time with Jake
2. He wants me to audition for the voice
3. I'm going to be famous.

ha.

:)

waiting...

I feel like a little, high school girl...patiently waiting for the phone to ring from that special "someone."

I had a job interview last Thursday and the principal said, "I'll try and let you guys know by Monday..."which, in my head, means Monday.

In my head..she never said TRY.

So, since I woke up this morning until right now, I am constantly checking my mail and making sure my phone is not on silent.

I have a feeling I'm not going to get the job. Why? Because I feel that if a teacher with 2 or even 1 year of in the classroom experience went up against me..someone who has been "just a sub" for the last 3 years.

I guess in my situation, its a win/win. If I get the job, HOORAY. If I don't, I get to sub and spend more time with Jake..HOORAY.

But I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY want this job.

So...here I sit at work. I think I looked at EVERY website on the internet to keep myself busy.

I know God has this all figured out. I just need to LET GO! (Which is SUPER hard btw)

Ill keep you posted.

Filled.

You will never realize how empty you are until you find out how it is to be filled.

Truth.

Ive been stalking Tumblr lately and I found all theses post about people longing to reconnect or get closer with God. Is it sad to say I'm glad I'm not alone? Not that I've fallen off the turnip truck or anything...I just have a wish to be closer with God...spend more time with him and the his word.

I guess I'm just glad I found these...because I learned remembered that having a relationship with God, or anyone, is a day to day decision and takes effort.

I want to be filled...or re-filled rather.

What if..

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Holy cow. That is a wake up call if I've ever read one.

I found this on pintrest...and when I read it, I literally stopped, posted it on facebook...and just sat in silence.

What if that really happened? I"ll admit, on that specific day...I would only have Jake. Its not that I'm not so thankful for everything....but the question asked what if I woke up today with ONLY the things I thanked God for YESTERDAY.

This has been a GREAT reminder of how I need to tell God how thankful I am for all the blessings he has given me.

Needless to say, my prayers at night are SUPER long...but so good!


What are you thankful for? Remember to thank God for them!!!
