“But if you’d like to hear from her...” HA! Love that line from Batman Begins! I feel so out of the blogging world. I have been working nonstop on the GGM PDF’s for our one year anniversary! They are coming along so nicely, but take up a lot of my time!
So I haven’t commented or posted for days because of that reason. And I am hardly keeping up with Twitter and Facebook. But it sure does bring a smile to my face to see your comments, tweets, and status comments and wall posts!
Anyway, I thought I would stop in and let y’all know I didn’t fly away to Krypton or anything, just staying busy! The life of a Homeschooling College Student! LOL!

Thought I would share some CUTE pics I found of the LillieGirl! Man, I love that baby! I am not even sure when these were… someone just got them…

LillieGirl: HOLD ME! HOLD ME!
Me: REEAACCHH!!

So happy! SMILE!

Isn’t she a doll? Love that baby! and yes I wear my Poor Girl Hat all the time!

Alrighty… back to work! gotta get that whip crackin’! You can always catch me at email, Facebook, Twitter, and then you can always comment and I will catch up sometime!
While, I’m gone check out the THIRD anniversary of the Carnival of Homeschooling, help some widows and fatherless families, read the January Issue, and check out an AWESOME giveaway.

Hope to be back soon!

Love, Prayers and Blessings,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!

In the January issue of GGM I wrote an article called Shh… It’s A Secret! It is about being a secret pal, secret angel, etc. It is such a wonderful blessing to be a secret angel to someone and bless them and encourage them without them knowing who you are. So if you imagine the great experience it is when you’re a secret angel and they don’t know who you are, then imagine what a wonderful experience it is to KNOW who your secret angel is!
The HSBA Post has a wonderful thing called Swap Sister group where they send you a swap sister to pray for, encourage, get to know, and send a small gift! I have been so blessed by this group! Though I run the Super Secret Angels for girls, I don’t get to participate, so I was EVERY excited when I was able to join the Swap Sister group!

I had an absolutely wonderful Swap Sister this time: Mrs. Pitts. She was so wonderful and I was very blessed to have her prayers and encouragement! Y’all know HOW MUCH I love getting mail (packages or letters) and when there was a package addressed to me sitting on the table, I was SOO excited! Then I opened it and was loving what I saw!

I really love the journal! It has a scripture on every page and I have decided to memorize those scriptures as I write in it! Pretty neat, huh?
And this is on the front! What a promise to remember!

Every Day Is A Gift From God!

I also received a cross plaque with one of my fave scriptures:

I am going to hang this on my wall to see and remember everyday!
I am so grateful for Jesus: the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace.

I would really encourage you if you are a homeschooling mama to join us on January 10th for the next Swap Sister group at HSBA.
And if you are a young lady who would like to join a similar group for girls, the SSA’s will be starting the next session soon too!

Oh! The Carnival of Homeschooling will be having its 3 year anniversary on Tuesday so make sure you get your submission sent it by Monday at 9pm EST! I already got mine in!
Love, Prayers and Blessings,

Thanks for stopping by “Daily” at the “Planet”!!

I am seriously having a hard time grasping that it is the year 2009. Anyone else? 2008 was a very short year, yet it was full of beginnings, endings, hurt, joy, and everything else! God was definitely working and moving in my life and I am thankful for 2008 and everything I learned, did, grew in, everything! Both the good and bad because God was right there with me!

I *try* to keep a record of special things that happen throughout the year and I put it in my left sidebar, and had to update that stuff now that 2008 is over! I redid my bookshelf list, goals list, and happenings list.

So its a new year now *eyes pop out* and I thought I would do a Happenings of 2008 to reflect on and share with you! So here is SuperAngel’s 2008 Year In Review

As you know I am a big supporter of  The Voice of the Martyrs and I want to remember our persecuted brethren everyday which was the purpose of IDOP. I keep up with things that are going on with the persecuted through many of their outlets: the website, Prayer Update Emails,  Twitter, the Blog and Facebook.
Since I receive their Prayer Updates on Friday I have decided I want to haave a VOM Friday Prayer Day. I will be sharing the week’s prayer requests for you to remember in your prayers, but if you would like to receive the updates in your inbox, you can sign up at VOMGroups.

So this week’s prayer updates are:

CHINA - 40 Christian Leaders Detained, 16 Sentenced to Administrative Detention - China Aid Association
On Dec. 16, 40 pastors and house church leaders were detained at a Christian leaders gathering in Taoling village, Henan province, according to China Aid Association. Officials told the Christian leaders they needed to pay between a 1,000 to 2,00 yuan fine (US $11.20-$22.40). Some of the Christians were released after paying the fine. However, 16 leaders were sentenced to 10 to 15 days administrative detention for engaging in an “illegal religious gathering.” Mr. Yan Linshan, the host of the meeting, received 10 days of administrative detention and a 1,000 yuan fine. Pray for the imprisoned Christian leaders. Ask God to encourage them and their families during this difficult time. Pray God protects Christians in China and for them to forgive their persecutors.

Psalm 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

INDIA - Hindu Extremists Attack Christians in Karnataka - Compass Direct News
On Dec. 14, Hindu extremists from the Bajrang Dal group attacked a Christmas program organized by the Helping Hands organization and accused the director of forcible conversion. Extremists disrupted the program which helps rural women and children, accusing Samuel Moses of trying to forcibly convert women and children. The extremists burned gospel literature and took Moses and his accountant to the Bangarapet police station. The Christians were detained in the police station for about nine hours, with the incident publicized on local broadcast and print media. The Christians were later released without charges. Police Inspector Chinnana Swami told Compass Direct that the Christians were detained for questioning, but police found no forcible conversion and the case has been closed. Praise God the Christians were released. Ask God to protect Christians in India who face intimidation and sometimes imprisonment because of their faith in Christ.

Romans 8:31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

VIETNAM - Authorities Destroy Church Building - Compass Direct News
On Dec. 17, local government officials destroyed a new wooden church building built by Hmong Christians in Cu Hat village, Dak Lak province, Compass Direct News reported. A large contingent of government officials, police and demolition workers arrived at the church in the morning and destroyed it. Police with electric cattle prods beat hundreds of distraught Christians who rushed to the site to protect the building. Five people were injured in the attack, including a child who suffered a broken arm and a woman who was poked in the stomach with a cattle prod. Pray for those injured in this attack. Pray believers will be able to rebuild the church building.

Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
