Check out Qik...

So I discovered this new thing yesterday called Qik. It's tied in with Twitter. It's kinda like the video version of TwitPic.

The thing that's cool about it is you can record videos from your phone and it feeds it live to the web!! Isn't that awesome?!?!

Go check out my Qik profile and then create your own.

Here is my Qik video from when I was on the way back to Mobile this morning.

NEW LAYOUT & SONG of the Week

Ok so I know that it is one of the templates that is already available from Blogger, but I am not creative enough to make my own. Also just because I don't know how. So if anyone has a suggestion for how to make a cool layout, or if you want to make one for me that would be great!!
Leave me some love!!

Ok now I am presenting this week's SONG of the Week. I posted a little piece of the lyrics to this song a while back and since then the song has been released. It is an amazing song that is an incredible reminder that whatever is going on in our lives, so matter the good or bad, or whatever our circumstance, God is STILL God and He will always be.

Please enjoy Avalon's latest single "Still My God"

Getting Ready for a Surprise

Today was my parent's 40th Wedding Anniversary. I am in Mobile at school as you know and I travel with IMPACT so I am not able to come home very often. Because of this I often miss birthdays and such. Well for my parent's 40th my cousin Joely decided she was gonna plan a surprise party for them. My Dad knew about it b/c we had to use a room at the restaurant, but Mama had no idea and only a few people knew that I was going to be making an appearance. It was a HUGE success and she was really surprised. Here's a little vid I made while I was waiting to come out and surprise her.
It was also Josh's 33rd Birthday Party!!

Mama waiting for her surprise

YAY!! She was so surprised...

...she cried

RANDOM Video of the Week

So I am trying to get back into blogging. So I am trying to start back up my Of the Week Series.
Here is this weeks random video of the week!!

So I will admit that I love watching The View. Those women crack me up and I love them. Here is a video from this past week when Elisabeth purposefully knocked over her water to make a point. I LOVE ELISABETH!!

It happens at 5:00 but the convo leading up to it is pretty interesting talking about Obama's comment about the Special Olympics on Jay Leno.



This second video is what happens after the commercial break. I wanted to post it b/c it has the reaction to the spill and they go on to talk about how Barbara liked baths with her daughter. She talks about it alot on the show. This being the third time that I know of that it has been mentioned. Thought it was funny.

You Satisfy

So I had a pretty rough day today and got some information that I wasn't ready for, but kinda saw coming. Afterwards I listened to this song from Melissa's new album and it blessed me so much. It is TOTALLY true!!!!

This is from Melissa's new album "Next Step" in stores today!! Go get it!!

You Satisfy - Melissa Greene

I have reached for a moment of splendor wished on every star up in the sky
Searching for that something more that’s better
But I keep getting let down but I know it’s gonna work out
Cause You keep showing me how

You satisfy when my soul is thirsty you’re the fountain of sweet mercy
My spirit cries with all I have inside
You fill my heart with joy and only You can satisfy

There are times when I feel sad and I feel lonely
nights I let the tears fall from my eyes
But I know that you will come to me and hold me
I feel my heart beating inside I see the sun starting to rise
I know that I’m gonna be fine

You liberate me from who I used to be
You come and you take me to the mountain where I see
I see the glory see the beauty see the light
You fill my heart with joy and only You can satisfy

I need to update

So I am kinda bummed that I haven't updated this in awhile. I have much to say just no time. Maybe this weekend I will have some time to get things goin on here.

This is a pic of me and James from French Camp last weekend. He is a great kid. Info about French Camp coming soon. :):)

Still My God

IMPACT had the opportunity to travel to French Camp Academy in French Camp, Mississippi this past weekend and can I just say I don't think I have received such a blessing in a good long time.

God's love is visible everywhere you look at that place. It was so awesome to see a place where God's hand was moving and doing miracles and giving blessings everywhere I looked. We got to minister and connect with kids who pretty much have nothing and it was such a great experience.
I didn't want to leave.

This statement is from their website...

"French Camp Academy, a Christ centered home and school, exists to serve young people and families for the glory of God". We provide a safe, stable, healing place for young people from families in crisis.

To learn more about the ministry of French Camp Academy please visit their website at www.frenchcamp.org

While we were there we were able to meet, hang out, and minister to kids from 5 all the way up to 18. These children come from broken homes, bad family situations, and other circumstances. Some are also in orphan situations. They come into French Camp and are taken in and loved and taught how to live a strong Christian life. They get to experience what living in a loving family is supposed to be like. Also they receive and excellent education through the school. God is definitely doing wonders there.

After seeing all of the kids and hearing some of their stories, I was reminded after the weekend that no matter what we are going through, no matter what our circumstances are, trouble we get in, hardships we face, etc... there is no place we can get to where God's love can't reach us. We can't stray far enough away from Him. He is always willing to reach out and bring us back into His loving embrace. We just have to willing to let Him do it.

Avalon has a new song on the radio called "Still My God." I make it one of my daily goals in life to continue to worship, praise, and thank God for everything he has given me. Even if it's a tough day, I thank Him b/c He has something for me to learn from it. So whatever trials come He is still my God. I pray that those kids at French Camp will realize that no matter what they face in life, that God is still their God and will always be there for them.

I hope this is an encouragement to you as well.

Here is the lyrics from the chorus of "Still My God" by Avalon. My hope is that this will be a prayer for you.

If I’m standing on a mountain
Or drowning in the sea
If I am filled with hope
Or crying out for mercy
If I’m singing hallelujah
Or scared to make a sound
If I am learning how to walk
Or when I’m falling down
I’m saying You are still my God
Still my God

MANY BLESSINGS!!

Caleb :):)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I hope and pray that everyone has an awesome 2009!!!!
