mission

I have a mission for you, readers. One of my best friends has been looking for the perfect pair of shoes to go with her little black dress. But not just any shoes. (You ready for this?)
Electric blue, patent leather heels. Yes.
So I'm going to ask you to help us. (She didn't ask me to do this...but whatever.) You don't have to go looking but if you're ever in a shoe store (or just a store with shoes in it) could you look for some electric blue, patent leather heels. If you do by chance find some take a picture for me. If you have Facebook, send it to me there. (My email is MAJORLY malfunctioning.) Thanks so much!
Love,
Savvy

the new nest

Hello my people!
Sorry it's been so long since I posted! (I've just realized...that's always the first thing I say. I guess it's just because I'm such a BAD blogger. Hmm. We'll have to fix that.) So, I'm sitting in the our new house, drinking [sugar-free] cranberry juice and listening to "Everything You Ever Wanted" by Hawk Nelson {<3!!} and I was just thinking... what an I doing here? (At this computer, specifically) Posting on this blog. About the same old life. What is it all for? And will it actually benefit anyone by reading this blog? "Hmm...good question Savannah" I say to myself. Well, my friends, I've come to a conclusion. I've decided that even (and especially) if I go down the career path of my choice (Lord willing) I will continue to reach out to the people patient enough to follow it and express my passion for life and my first and only lover, Jesus Christ. So there.
And I'm not going to hold back from being myself...I'm just not going to post stupid stuff anymore. I will hopefully post more pictures...but my camera cord is in a box somewhere...
The next post I do will be about my career dreams! Yay! Now you have something to look forward to!...kinda.
The move went well and we're doing good...all under the same roof! Yay! Thank you for your prayers! I gotta go. I love you all and please keep reading!
Love in Christ,
Savannah
P.S. I applied for a job today at Monkey Joe's in Gastonia! Yay! Pray that works out please! <3 <3

Independence

Happy...er...5th, everybody! Sorry it's late but yesterday we took everything out of the garage, sorted it, re-packed it and then put it back. And I was really...not depressed...but kind of depressed. We didn't get to see any fireworks (and I L-O-V-E fireworks) and we worked all day instead of celebrating, but then my sister, Aimee, said something interesting that I hadn't thought of before. She said "The reason we're able to celebrate independence anyway is because of other people's hard work and sacrifice." and inside I was like "Wow. Ok. That's an excellent point." and then I felt like I had been so selfish. My thoughts before this were that we'd been packing all week and the one three day weekend my dad got off to come home...we had to spend all weekend packing and sorting and stuff. But that's what needed to be done. And it was NOTHING compared to the sacrifice of those who gave their very lives just for independence, and furthermore, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. So therefore, it was an honor to take part in the hard work done on July fourth, even if it was just in the garage.
So, there you have it! I will post pictures soon of my trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico [last month] soon! - -;
Thanks for reading!
With love, through Christ, ALONE,
Savannah Catherine
P.S. And if you haven't been reading previous posts and don't know what were packing for; despite the economy, my Dad got an awesome job in the Charlotte area so he moved in with two single guys in February and has been living there since. We stayed here so my 2nd oldest sister Cait could graduate, and we could finish our plays (we're all in an AMAZING theatre group) and stuff. So we're moving in like three weeks. So, yeah. Just thought I'd clear that up.

It Was Worth It...

Greetings, people of earth!
So, I just wanted to update. Reformation Of Katherine was PHENOMENAL! God worked amazingly beautiful miracles through everyone in the play.
And also, about a week or two ago I bought myself a camera with my hard-earned babysitting money. She's beautiful! Except, the "starter battery" was a hoax and died after like two days. Ugh.
But I will have pictures soon!
And I'm SO excited that Cait's friend, Jamie Delaine Peterson, is coming from Canada to visit us! I'll tell more later!
Be blessed, my friends!
Love in Christ,
Savannah

Testing ... again.

Hey all!
I hope you're all doing great! Well, as some of you know... testing started today...ugh. Oh well. It's gonna be fun. I guess. It went pretty well today.
I just wanted to tell you that Ash moved on Sunday afternoon. She starts work Friday! She's getting settled and she's excited about what God's going to do in her life through this period where she doesn't live with parents...:D
So, that's all for now!
I'll talk to you all later.
Peace Mah Peeps.
Love in Christ,
Savvy <3

The Reformation Of Ketherine

Hello all!
I'm back from yet another spell of no-posting-ness! But Now I have a bit of news! First I just wanted to tell you all that my oldest sister Ashleigh got a job in Charlotte and is moving there this weekend! Praise the Lord for his faithfulness and grace!
Second I have the update on the upcoming Christian Youth Theatre performance!
The Reformation Of Katherine.
It's about Martin Luther and it's a wonderful production! It's being performed at Colonial Baptist Church in Cary. The dates are April 23rd, 24th, and 25th. On the 23rd and 24th open at 7:00 and the play starts at 7:30 and on the 25th doors open at 1:30 and the play starts at 2:00.
God is going to do great things through this play and I'm very excited about it! I'm not personally in it but lots of friends are and also my older sister, Caitlin, is in it as well!
It's going to be amazing, Lord willing!
I hope to see you all there!
God bless!
In Christ LONE,
Savannah
P.S. Pray for rehearsals and technical stuff if you can! Thank you!

Esther - Chosen For Such A Time As This! (Aftermath)

Hello all!
Update on Esther - it went BEAUTIFULLY! God blessed us so much! The cast just really connected in last two weeks of rehearsals and we prayed SO MUCH! It was one of the best times I've ever had!
There were about 2,500 people in attendance! (if you add all the performances together)
God is so good!
And also I have some odd news. On Friday (the week before the play) we were at the mall (Mom and the sibs and I) and my ears had been popping all day and all of a sudden my right one wouldn't pop. It hurt. It was weird. So, it got worse and when we got home we tried everything we knew to do and it kept getting worse so Mom took me to the emergence at like 6:00am and it turns out my ear drum had actually burst because of the pressure from the ear-infection I didn't know I had. :/
So, I can't really hear out of my right ear (which was hard to sing with) but I think it was because God really wanted me to learn to trust Him and that I can't possibly do it without His help to perform this play.
So my ear drum is healing now, but I'm hearing things two-toned and it sounds like a bunch of robots.
God is good though.
The cast party was today. :D I love that cast so much and I was the first one to cry when we were sharing our testimonies. I was thanking the cast and crew for making my last play (because we're moving to Charlotte) so amazingly special. Oh my goodness. I'm going to cry now.
I'm ok.
Well, I love you all and thank you for supporting us if you did make it to the play!
To God be the glory for our victory!
In Christ ALONE,
Savvy :D

A Pretty Amazing Day

Hey!
How are you all? I'm doing great. Today a group of people from my CYT class got together, split up in groups and then went around Clayton passing out Esther cards and putting up posters (with permission, I promise) in stores and stuff. It was totally fun!
In my van was Mrs. Walton, Ash (my oldest sister), Jeremy (Walton), Zach, David, Jamey, Laura, Karen, Aimee (my other older sister) and I. It was great! i hope a lot of people come to see the play!
So...also I have a prayer request. If you guys could pray for my two younger siblings...they're sick. Like sore throat and headache...and stuff...ick!
So prayer is good! Thanks in advance!
Love you all and hope to see you at Esther!
In Christ ALONE,
Savvy

Some New Stuff

Hi again!
So, our visit with Craig and Laura was great! I'm so happy they came!
Also, my Mom and my sister Ashleigh (oldest, 19) left for Charlotte this morning.
Dad has been working there for two weeks now and Ash is going to apply for a job and Mom is going to go to the church there.
Also Caitlin (2nd oldest, 18) just got back from a wedding photographer convention (WPPI)in Las Vegas last night. She was there for...ten...days. (I think)
So, I also wanted to tell you something I'm really excited about!
My Birthday is in nine days! Yay! I'll be fourteen! I'm so excited!
I also wanted to share this video! It's amazing!

Love you all and hope you enjoy!
In Christ ALONE,
Savannah

Catching Up

Salutations!
Believe it or not, it's me! I'm back! I am extremely sorry that I've let you guys down lately! So...what's going on in my life... I have some pretty important news for you!
My Family and I are moving to Charlotte!
I know right?!?!
Crazy stuff!
My dad got a great job there...so we're moving at the end of May...or something. It's going to be fun...kinda scary, but I'm excited! I'm going to miss all my friends SO MUCH, but God has a plan and He'll hopefully provide a way for us to come back for visits and stuff.
I've just been really realizing how amazing God's provision is lately, considering the bad economy and stuff. I know several people who've lost their jobs recently, and it's just amazing.
Also, my family's good friend, Craig, and his friend are coming for a visit tomorrow. They live in Florida, so it's exciting that they want to see us while they're in town! :D
So, I'll keep you updated more! Love you all!
And thanks to all of you who have kept checking back up on me! I will try to get better at getting on the computer and updating more often! ;D
In Christ ALONE,
Savannah B.

Thanksgiving

Well, we (my family and I, except for Ashleigh) are about to walk out the door. We are going to my Uncle's house in Fairfield, NC for Thanksgiving.
I am SOOOO excited!
I can't write any more, I just wanted to tell you all to have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!
And we can't forget what Thanksgiving is ll about! ;D
Love in Christ,
Savannah B.

Paint!

Well, before I start on the paint subject... I will say that we are moving to Fuquay-Varina... as far as I know!
So, the house we are moving into needs some work...well...a lot of work...but we've been working on it!
Our dear friends from our church, the Jones, came and helped us on Sunday!
Other than getting a lot done, we had a great time!
We are going to go work this afternoon as well.
But yesterday I Kilz...ed Mom and Dad's whole room ...BY MYSELF! Wahoo! It was fun...but tiring and now I'm really sore! Oh well! I'll be okay, believe it or not!
Hee hee!
So, keep in touch and check out my (NEW) other blog!
Love and Peace!
In Christ ALONE,
Savvy <3

I'm going to the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeach!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I'm so exited! Let me calm down a little...(exhales deeply)...okay! Guess what? I'm going to the beach this weekend! I am very happy. Know why, know why?? Because I'm going Friday and staying 'till Monday... and I've never stayed at the beach for more than like eight hours in my life! I'm SOOOOO EXITED! WAHOO! (that's my new word. I say it all the time!) ;-) Ya, and I might not be able to post until Monday or Tuesday, so don't miss me too much! (te, he he he he!)
But I have a surprise! (which is about to not be a surprise any more! Mua ha ha ha ha!) When I came back, I'll have pictures of the cakes I made (I'm actually making them now, but when I leave they will already be made) for Mikayla and David's birthday party! I'm really exited! I just made a batch of fondant yesterday and then I made one more batch today! Yay! Have a superdy-duper weekend y'all!

;-)

In Christ ALONE,
Savvy <3 (Isn't my puppy cute?!)

Music!

First off, have you all noticed how I put at least one exclamation point on the title of almost every post I've done on this blog? I guess I'm just an energetic kind of person! Bah! So, down to the point! Focus Savvy! (Inhales deeply.) Okay! Here we go!
Music! How charming music is! I absolutely love it! I've just visited Joelle's blog and Oh my goodness! I LOVE her assortment of music on her music player! I'm listening to "Funky~town" by Alvin and The Chipmunks! I love that movie! I love their music! Haha! Hehehe! I want to sing until the day I die! And because I'm so happy...I'm going to post one of my favorite old pictures of me...or with me in it! =-) This is Tiger and Dude! At my Aunt Becky's house a few years ago! We go down to her house in Virginia almost every summer in August! Well, Love you guys!

Life, Life and... MORE Life! (reprise)

So, Hi you guys! I was just thinking about those of you who may have stumbled across my blog and continue to read it, or you might know me and are needing some help with something. Well, good news! Jesus loves YOU! If you haven't heard the gospel...well, here it is:
"Holy God in love became
perfect man to bear my blame.
On the cross He took my sin.
By His death, I live again!"
I hope you understand what I'm trying to say! Simply that Jesus loves you so much, that He came and died a bloody death, just to save me and you from eternity in hell! You may be thinking "Gasp! She said hell!" but let's wake up and smell the hummus! Hell is a REAL place and those who do not accept Christ Jesus as their Savior...will have to go there! But if you accept Christ as your Father (which He so wants you to!) then you will be saved from the pits of hell! That is why I labeled this post "Life, Life and...MORE Life!" Because, for those of us who do have Christ, and do not receive damnation to hell...there is Heaven! That's what my song was about! heaven! Life, life, and more life! If we persevere and press on through trials, we will be blessed with an eternity in Heaven with Jesus himself! This was probably pretty deep, so I'll let it sink in! If you have any questions, please comment on this post! I would be happy to help you or pray for you! God bless!
In Christ ALONE,
Savannah Catherine Butt
P.S. If you haven't yet, you should read (in the Bible) the book of James! It helped me a lot!

Guess What!?

Hi! Well, guess what!? I changed the color of my blog! yay! (Cause you can't tell) = ) So, I also wanted to say that I'm writing a book! Yay! Well, That's all!
Love you guys!
In Christ ALONE,
Savvy <3
