I started this vid a while ago and originally it was supposed to be for the JK 500th thread at Fan Forum but it didn't happen on time so when the Jater Couch Secret Santa came up I figured it was the perfect inspiration to finish :) So it is dediated to wildjinx, my secret santa :) Hope she and everyone else enjoys. After this vid I've discovered it seems that I can't end a video with anything but the proposal scene anymore!! :p

( Then I see your face, I know I'm finally yours )

I want to share a couple of videos that my Bible study group showed on Friday night, I thought they are really nicely done (not made by anyone from my church though lol) and it is a fantastic reminder why tomorrow is celebrated!!

( The angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.  )

Merry Christmas!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and are blessed throughout the year!! Love you guys!

Yesterday is history And history is miles away
So, leave it all behind you
But let it always remind you of the day
The day that love made history

A lot of things are being said about history being made today so it made me think of this song. And that day my friends, is the day that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. And that love is the love that our God has for us, then and always.
Honestly, I don't know what kind of history is being made and what is going to happen from here on out, but I pray that it will be okay. And I pray that regardless of what is happening in our world, that we always remember who is our true leader, because it is not a man here on earth. It is very important what is going on here in the world, but it certainly isn't what is most important...because we will all die at some point, and then that's when the real journey starts, because eternity is a heck of a lot longer than however long we have on this earth. Which is why I am probably going to spend a whole lot less time online. I need to focus on the real "race" in this life!
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
-Hebrews 12:1-3
Love you all and more importantly, Jesus loves you, more than you could possibly imagine! ("no matter who you are or what you have done" -Romans 3:22)

God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Also, my dear friend carlie06 made a beautiful and classy entry. Love you hun! ♥

A couple months back I heard about Compassion International via a Christian radio station I listen to and I was led to sponsor a child. My child is Lisa, a 6 year old from Indonesia.
Recently I received a magazine that Compassion publishes and I read an article about a couple of individuals stories of famine in Ethiopia. It's just ridiculous that some of these people can barely have one meal (if you can call it that) per day if they're lucky. It makes me wish I was born an heiress to some millionaire so I can give most of that money to those starving people that need it!
(From the Hunger Fact Sheet):
• One person in seven goes to bed hungry every day.
• Approximately 854 million people across the world are hungry.
• Every day, nearly 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. That amounts to one child
every 5 seconds.
• About 5.6 million or 53 percent of child deaths worldwide are related to under-nutrition.
• Approximately 146 million or 27 percent of children under age 5 in developing countries are
underweight.
• Nearly 17 percent of babies in developing countries are born with a low birth weight
compared with only 7 percent of babies in industrialized countries.
• More than 6 million children die from malnutrition each year.
• Worldwide, 161 million preschool children suffer chronic malnutrition.
• Already 40 percent to 50 percent of the world’s populations are undernourished and there
are 50 million starvation-related deaths each year.

And all it takes is $13 to help a child for ONE month! So, please, if you are led to do so donate to help this crisis or even sponsor a child! All the info can be found HERE

Thank you and God Bless! ♥

This vid has already been done for a week and I know some of you have already seen it from the JKademies on the Couch but I wanted to upload it on my own account as well for those that haven't. I also had to tweak some things that bugged me about the first version! :p

Okay finally I am posting the zip file for this, even though as I said, I'm fairly certain only one person on my Flist will use it hehe. But hey, maybe other people that I don't know that are H/J fans will find it too :).

download full theme here

Find instructions for upload here...this is what I used so I figure they can explain much better than I could. But if you have any Qs just ask me here and I'll try to help.

To my Kate: I had no idea what to "get" you until last night when I got inspired and voila, a new vid just for you my dear. It's very simple but I think my favorite simply because of the quote and the music. I hope you like it and that it makes you happy! I love you my friend! ♥

So I am either insane or just hyped up on Jate (probably both!) I decided to make a vid and completed it in about 24 hours. I guess last week was inspiring ;) Hope you guys like it!

( It's a beautiful thing don't think I can keep it all in )

Two birthdays today and one from two days ago (but I did send her a message the day of! :p) Happy birthday girls! In honor of your birthdays I am finally posting these kiss icons that I had been working on for a long time lol. But first birthday banners...



You girls are some of my best friends and therefore deserve the best, so I wish you happiness now and always! And I hope you like your "gifts"! ♥

( presents... )

1. Does anyone know a video uploading place (i.e. youtube, dailymotion, etc) that will allow you to upload .mov vids? Although I already tried youtube and it uploads it fine but the sound doesn't work! *pout*
2. Does anyone know how/have the ability to convert .mov to .wmv or .avi or something like that?
3. And while I'm at it, does anyone know how to convert m4p (aka itunes format) files to mp3s?
   

My basic problem is that I can't use the song I want on my pc but the video format would be correct...on my mac I can use the song but the vid format is .mov which isn't compatible with much and I think there's some stupid rule with the m4p format that doesn't allow me to upload it correctly to youtube, etc. *pouts more* Any sort of help would be good here lol
And yes I'm withholding the specific thing I'm trying to make on purpose, its supposed to be a surprise :)

I just wanted to share this beautiful video with others:

Totally made me bawl at the end, it really is a perfect illustration of what Jesus does for us! ♥

Okay the reason I haven't made a 4x01 post or really responded to many of yours is because I've been doing icons all weekend. Long story short, my trial of PS ended and I don't know if I can manage to get it again so I had to work very fast and pretty much all the time, which is probably why my left eye has been twitching since Friday (sad but true), so I blame the eye for the ones that suck :p So obviously I enjoyed the lovely Jate we got on Thursday, as you will see by the icons!


( Enjoy! )

Whoever sent me the Vgift, thank you so much! How did you know that the polar bear is my favorite zoo animal?! Fact! ;)
That was really sweet and it made me smile so thank you! ♥

This is pretty much the reason I've been MIA from a lot of things, cause most of my attention was going to these for the past couple of weeks.

( all three of them behind the cut )

*wipes brow* And now I must go finish things up for jate_osb so I can send it out tomorrow! :)

My last real post for a couple of weeks (I'll post a follow up one to that in a bit). This one is for the vid I just finished today though. It's to the song "It's Only Love" by Heather Nova. Hope you like!

Alright, it's icon time! I finally finished them.

Whatever, one of these days I'll do a custom layout. lol Okay, nobody cares about that, onto the icons...
