CHECK IT OUT & a lil' self promotion

CHECK IT OUT!!

I promise not to do the whole blog post in that NEON, LIME color!! My check it outs are related to twitter ( Check out TWITTER here ) and are all about New England and people of similar interests. You are probably asking, Where in the world is she going with this?

Finding friends and/or family to join me in this crazy, time consuming, addictive world of twitter has been difficult. I have become resigned to the fact that just like my wonderful Blog world, twitter world is meant to be a haven of new friends, inspirations and views. I am really loving it and am finding it somewhat addictive. Yes, at times I have been known to twitter away a lot of my time.

New England is always a place dear to my heart and I love visiting my New England bloggers and have connected with many NE Twitterers!!!

Cape Ann Guy Find Cape Ann Guy here is a self described "Weather Geek" that tweets out of Gloucester Mass. I have learned so much from his weather posts and have linked up with many other NE sights. He actually has been know to answer this "pesky wanna be weather geek"

Alert New England Twitter link to AlertNewEngland is another favorite twitter sight I love. It reminds me of a scanner thats in print on the net. OK so please tell me y'all know what a scanner is?? It's a police/radio/fire radio type broadcaster of events that are affecting a certain area. (bad definition my techie brother would be so ashamed)

Anyways Alert New England posts all kinds of happening throughout New England. It's been exciting to call my mother (who grew up all over New England) about the happenings in her old stomping grounds.

Little Bead Shop Link to Little Bead Shop is a bead shop in Scotland that shares all their happenings. It's exciting to here about all their little girl jewelry parties to their celebration of hogmany. They also have tweeted and connected with me numerous times!

There are many beaders/jewelry makers on Twitter and I do follow a few. Many use twitter as a vehicle to sell their designs. Great idea eh?! I tend to use the twitter filters for some of these posts as it takes up a lot of room when viewing other posts. I have not included any of them here as there are so many to view.

Inspirational twitters are in abundance on twitter. Finding some of my favoriter christian artists like Kari Jobe, Jesus Culture, Mark Lowry and Candace Cameron Bure is just naming a few.

CHECK OUT TWITTER TODAY AND CHECK OUT ME:

So on to the the self promotion--Not necessarily promoting but showing of some of my designs.

I twittered recently my regret in not taking pictures of the jewelry I made for Christmas. I made over a dozen wire-wrapped rings, some bracelets and at least 8 pairs of earrings. Christmas came so quickly that I feel like I made and gave. Lack of energy has also played in my not getting pictures taken. BUT.... I can show a few things I have made in the past  months and some were actually Christmas gifts.

These bracelet/earrings sets above, I have made at least three of. I love the fact it was the first time I wire-wrapped on top of a bead. I gave a set of these to a friend for Christmas.

This was prior to my wire wrapping days. But I love them none the less especially the earrings.

My mother gave me a few bags full of these rosy, pearl beads and I have been so surprised at what I can make with them. Never look a gift horse in the mouth is a proven statement in regards to the beads that have been given me.

Soon I will hope to be posting some of my wire wrapped rings......

THANKS FOR CHECKING IT OUT!!!!

~~djdeb's ramblings ~~

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. PSALMS 18:2 kjv

Lately I catch myself praying short prayers of "Lord, give me strength". Over and over I am seeking him for strength.. Never would I have imagined that I would feel so tired, worn out and lethargic. That has described my last few months. I have been sick with bronchitis and some other cold symptoms, but I believe behind it all is my thyroid acting up. Tomorrow I am going to get some blood work and am praying that it will give the level that is needed for an increase in my medicine.

If you have ever heard of anyone with thyroid problems, I am sure you have heard their struggles with their levels. As I am sure I have mentioned before I was hyperthyroid to begin with and ended up having radiation to kill most of the thyroid. The dying of the thyroid takes years to occur (something I learned recently--even though the radiation occurred years back) and the regulating your thyroid levels will always be a part of my life. So I have said all this to say that I have sooooooo needed "strength" and the only place I can seek it is in Christ. He has gotten me through the workdays and I have rested most weekends.

I feel as if many do not understand and see me tired out primarily because of my weight. My weight is a big hindrance and some of it is a result of hypothyroidism. So I am going to continue to seek God for the strength and pursue the doctor to use the medical support there is available for me.

The other night I was suffering a migraine and was trying to rest and all I could sing was this song.

I kept singing I believe your my healer, I believe your more than enough for me.... JESUS you're all I need!!! Lord, I'm holding tight to your promise of strength in your word and will sing in my heart this song to you My Healer!

DJDeb Music Review

I am writing a review today about a worship singer that I have only recently become familiar with in the past six months. My brother got me connected to a christian video group online

called tangle (great alternative to You tube).

http://www.tangle.com

and on this site one of the top viewed videos was of a girl named Kari Jobe. Hmmm... Never heard of her--let's give a listen I said and can I tell you I was so blessed by the song entitled REVELATION SONG. (see video below)

http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=59b1733c327a13927f2b

Needless to say I was so impressed that I purchased her self titled cd and was so blessed by all the songs.

Other tracks worth mentioning are:

Track Two - Healer, with it's powerful lyrics and message.

Track Seven - Singing over me, Kari sounds a bit Taylor Swiftish except her intimate lyrics are as one singing intimately to their love-Jesus Christ.

Track Eleven - Revelation Song, still my favorite of all. It's brings you to what it may truly be like when we come before the Mercy Seat. In all it's wonder and I can imagine bowing down singing her lyric "You are my everything and I will Adore you.." as I bow before my King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

THIS IS DEFINITE MUST LISTEN and BUY CD--Keep in mind it's a Worship CD.
