"Mama, am I dreaming?"

Maisey asked me the sweetest question while buckling her car seat. She asked, "Mama, am I dreaming?". I laughed and said, "No, baby. This is really happening." Australia was a "dream" reality trip on so many levels personally & spiritually. I am overwhelmed by the faithfulness of my God & His breathtaking goodness. We just got back late last night & I couldn't wait to get my fingers to blogging!! I truly had the time of my life with my darling husband and amazing Maisey! These memories we made will forever be in my heart and uploaded to facebook via photo : ) Thanks for your sweet comments & prayers. You guys are the best!

We spent the first week in Sydney. We had so much fun making great family memories -to Luna Park to the next noodle bar - every bit was extra special. I could go on & on but you'd probably pull your hair out listening to my mush.
Our second week we spent it in Penrith, where we attended the ImagineNations Missions Conference at ImagineNations Church. Pastor Jack & Carol Hanes have such a heart for reaching the lost & bringing justice to the world. Please take some time to view the podcast of the sessions from the conference at www.imaginenationschurch.com

Also, Pastor Jack has a new book out called "One Short Hour" that will knock you out! It's available on Amazon now!

We were showered with so much love & kindness from the church. We met some incredible people who passionately love God & live to share His goodness through their everyday life & their giving. These people spend their lives for the gospel. To say the least, I came away inspired & challenged for the things of God's heart. I am overwhelmed and ready to go deeper.

So with that said, I would like to help get the word out about a very courageous girl: Jessica Ferguson.



She is from my church and will be taking her very first missions trip to Honduras in June with her uncle & aunt, pastors of Good Samaritan Baptist. We need to celebrate this with her & help her raise the funds needed to get there so she can share the gospel & feed the hungry. Jessica needs $1,400 to go (includes airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, airport & border tax). Any additional funding will help purchase food bags to be given out door to door. One $10 bag will feed 15 people. Any financial support & prayer support is very much appreciated. So proud of you Jessica!!

If you would like to help Jessica GO, please send your donations to the following address:

Thanks for taking the time to read the bloggie & I'll keep you posted on upcoming YesIAm projects as well as the new album, Color.

With much love,

Little Randoms

I have to admit that I wear scarves all year-round and my sweet sister lets me have it with a daily dose of kind, sarcastic remarks; especially in the hotness of July & August! Don't you just love having a big sister? I do : ) Anyway, thankfully the season change means less remarks from her about my neck attire and more compliments on my latest, cheap finds from Bealls Outlet (the best store in the world...it's a glorified yard sale but I LOVE it...especially on Fridays cause it's discount day!) Watch out Kelli cause I'm coming at you with a new fall line of whatever is on sale baby! Ha!

It's been a long while since the last time I blogged and now that October is here, I felt it would be very appropriate to welcome the new season with a few random thoughts. So, WELCOME OCTOBER! YOU ARE LOVELY!

Yesterday I opened the door and I felt the wind kiss my face as I watched a colorful pile of leaves swirl up to the sky. It was one of those moments, ya know? I enjoy those little pauses in life where the Lord reminds us that He is in control...no matter what the season or circumstance looks or feels like, HE knows and sometimes that's all I need to know. Simple.

So, enjoy this month...buy a new scarf at Bealls and a warm caramel apple cider from where-ever, sit outside and drink in the new season & the fact that Jesus cares.

Here's where I'll be singing this month...

AND
Here are some pictures from a recent, fun event I played at for "The Shops at Breedlove". Wanna give a shout out to Hal Breedlove for being one of my first sponsors that helped fund the Nightlight CD. Also, a big shout out to my precious parents! They are GOLD to me and I'm so thankful and grateful for their love and support. BTW, it was my daddy's idea to sport the "YesIAm" shirts!! LOVE YOU Daddy & Mama!!

THANK YOU

Hey everyone,
The last few weeks have been extremely busy but truly amazing - to say the least! Sorry I haven't had the chance to blog but tonight I wanted to take the time to express my heart-felt gratitude to you & all of the wonderful people in my life who have helped with the Nightlight CD and release service. There is no way I could have done this project without YOU! I believe that God has been behind the scenes working in ways we can't even imagine to bring about His glory through His people. I believe that this CD is part of His plan to reach hearts in ways that go beyond the music. Let's keep praying!!

Thank you to everyone who have loved, given, supported & prayed for me & the making of this project AND thank you for everything you did to make this release night possible. YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE!

Let's live out our full potential in Christ and dream!

See you all Sunday at the release!
June 13th - 6:30pm
Monroe Church of God

Love & hugs,
Carrie
