Sherwood Pictures

I love these movies! Have you seen any of them? First let me say I am in no way being paid or asked to promote them, I just really love them and they made such a difference in my life I had to share with y'all.

There is a church in Albany, Georgia called Sherwood Baptist Church a few years ago (2003 I think?)they made a movie called Flywheel as a local outreach for their community, well it found it's way from little Albany, Georgia to video stores mostly in the south east, then everywhere; it is a wonderful film the story for Flywheel is to rely on God, be obedient to Him and trust in Him. I love it and I could watch it everyday (sometimes we do).
Then a couple of years, and a bigger budget later the made Facing the Giants (my favorite of them all ) This movie speaks to my soul! The story line is about a Football coach who has lost confidence in himself and feels adrift, with no clear direction, also there is a sub story about the infertility he and his wife are going through ( I related to that part big time!!) He discovers that With God All Things Are Possible, this film is the story of  his journey.
Then Kirk Cameron joined on for their next movie Fireproof  (their largest release to date) this one is a story of LOVE. The Love God has for us and the Love we HAVE to share. Have you seen ads or has your church done a "Fireproof your Marriage" class if so they are based on this film. It is a story of a couple headed for divorce, and the trials of relationships. So very good.
2 brothers Alex and Stephen Kendrick have written all the movies and books from (and for) these movies and they are all filmed with members of their church, and locally in Albany. If you get a chance to see them or buy them do it! You won't be disappointed.
The team at Sherwood recently finished their 4th film called Courageous http://www.courageousthemovie.com/home  it is due to hit theaters Sept.30,2011     
I for one can't wait!
Honestly folks  these films really hit home with Lee and me, they encourage us when we are down, comfort us like a hug and move the Holy Spirit through our souls.
Who would think a few movies could do that?   God did.
I'm sure I will be blogging more about each film in the future.
If you have any questions about these movies please ask and I will try my best to answer them.

Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny

    I have watched both fireproof and flywheel, both two of my favorite movies. I will definitely be checking out Courageous when it comes out & will be looking for Facing the Giants as soon as possible as well...

I miss my Blogging Girlfriends

 Life got busy. Even during all the mess of 2020. I miss blogging, crafting and all the friends I made doing SWAPS, Pink Saturday, Commenting on others posts. It's been too long. My guy keeps telling me I need to do what I love, and what I enjoy. He is right. That's exactly what I need. So I am gonna visit the still active blogs of all the lovely ladies I have missed and hopefully we will reconnect. I hope to talk to you soon! Jenny

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
