Waiting......

 During my quiet time I was thinking about what it means to wait on the Lord.  This is something that I struggle with daily.  When I want something I want it right now and that is not the right way to be.  I have made many mistakes in my life, but God has always been there forgiving me and loving me before I made the mistakes.  I know we all go through some rough times in order to truly appreciate the good when it comes.  During these times we (or at least I know I do) tend to question God.  In these "why" moments we should be saying Thank you God instead of why God!  His reasons are far more important than waisting time saying why.  I know it is easier said than done.  God has taught me to Trust Him through pain and sadness and He will supply ALL my needs.  When He is the focal point of my life it is easier for me to find my way.  I am learning to be thankful not only in the BLESSINGS, but in the sad times as well.  Most importantly I must be thankful for Him.  Only in constant communication with Him and continual awareness of His presence can I remain intact and not unravel by the challenges of this world.  His presence will fill my mind with great things and remove all worry and fear!  When things don't go as I hope, I must focus my attention on Him!  Most things that worry me are not important!!

I got a little color change done to my hair Friday night.  Something about getting your hair done that just relaxes you!  Saturday began as a work day.  Cleaning, laundry and allot of other not so fun house work lol.  It was all with it because we had friends coming over to watch the Auburn vs Mississippi State game.  We won by the way War Eagle!!  By the way my husbands team won too.  He would say RTR, but I can't say that lol.  Anyway, I had a terrific evening with friends doing nails, eating and watching football!!:)  Sunday, we had a great service at church then a fun lunch with friends:)

It was a fun and productive weekend!!
Hope everyone had a great week!

Weekend Fun!!!

I had a terrific weekend.  It started off Friday night with my sister doing the red ombre in my hair:)  I love it!  While I was at the shop I got to do some nails.  Doing nails is another one of my hobbies:)  I love the way they turned out.  After a long day at work and night at the beauty shop I made it home for some couch cuddle time with my hubby!  We woke up Saturday morning a little hungry, so we decided to head to huddle house for brunch:)  (we woke up a little late lol)
Then it was home for some pool time:)  Thus is becoming my Saturday thing!  Saturday night we went to the drive in with some to see Wolverine.  It was so much fun!!!
Sunday was church!  We had a wonderful service then headed home for lunch.  My hubby loves DCI (Drum Corp International) so went spent the afternoon watching the competition.  Well he watched more than me I had to have a nap lol:) 
Hope you had a great weekend too!!  Have a great week!

He Delivered Me!!!!

I love my devotion time.  I have started a new one on the Bible app on my phone called "God's Goodness".  I am really enjoying it. 
God is ALWAYS with me!!  No matter what I am going through He has His angels encamped around me:)  This makes my heart smile.  Not only does He want me to know He is there for me and he will fight my battles, but He wants me to fully understand it.  I think sometimes I read His scriptures, but I don't fully grasp what He is really saying to me.  I don't need to just read the verses, I need to meditate on them.  I am learning to read more slowly and let it sink in!  This particular verse reminds me of something that happened when I was 5.  I have always looked up to my sister!  I always wanted to be around her when I was younger.  I wanted her to do my hair, paying my nails, do my makeup, well I guess you could say I wanted to be her:)  That being said this particular day I wanted to ride home with her from town.  She kindly agreed and I was as happy as could be sitting in the front seat with my big sister.  On our way home I got sleepy, so I laid down with my head kinda in her lap (there was this thing called steering wheel that got in the way lol).  Anyway I remember she was brushing my hair out of my face.  That is the last thing I remember, then I woke up in the hospital.  We had a wreck and wrapped my sisters new car around a tree.  When I say wrapped I literally mean wrapped.  My sister tried to shield the glass from the windshield from me and cut her arm open really bad.  My eyes were swollen shut and I had a gash in my cheek.  I joke with my sister all of the time and say she tried to kill me, but I know with out a doubt she loves me and that wasn't the case.  Sometimes I think it was my fault because had I not gone to sleep maybe it wouldn't have happened.  That is when I am reminded that everything happens for a reason and God had a reason in the wreck.  He spared our lives!!  The police and medics said we shouldn't have survived.  They said had we not had on our seat belts we wouldn't have made it through, but that was not the reason we lived.  We lived because God allowed us to!!!  He knew one day we would come to know Him and want to work for Him. 
I am so thankful to Him for allowing us to live that day!!  I am also thankful for my wonderful family! 

High Five For Friday!!!!

Weekend Fun!!!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I had a very lazy one:) Here are a few snip-its from mine:
It started with a very hot Friday!  When I got in my car to leave work it was 93°.  By the time I reached the beauty shop the temp was reading 95°.  At that point I couldn't wait for Saturday to get here so I  could lay in the pool.  Anyway there was no time for pool, because it was time to get a new hair color:)  As you can see by my previous posts, I love to change my hair color.  This time I am trying the ombre, except I'm doing red on bottom not blonde.  This week we just did the first step and put dark all over.  Friday I will get the final step, so excited!!!!
On to Saturday, my hubby and I slept late, and then went to lay in the pool.  It was so relaxing!!!  After about 2.5 hours we decided to get out.  It was just in time to because it started raining!  Now it was time for lunch!!  While my hubby made some yummy burgers on the grill, I sat on the porch and enjoyed the rain.  As I was sitting there minding my own business I felt like I was being watched lol.  When I looked around I saw these two precious eyes (Willow) looking at me through the window:)  Isn't she beautiful!!
After lunch I had a much needed nap before cuddle time on the couch watching shows on the DVR.  I told you it was a lazy Saturday:)
Next up Sunday!!!  Started the day off right with Church!!  It was my day in the nursery so I got to spend some time spoiling some kids:)  They always make me smile!  After church it was home for lunch and laundry.  I know sounds like a terrible combination. Lunch and nap sounds better lol, but it had to be done.  Anyway, I finished the laundry, did my nails and finished the night with more cuddle time watching TV.
I loved my lazy weekend! I hope you have a great week!!

Better is one day with Him!!!

My morning devotional reminded me how much better off I am with Him!!  This is something I have been raised knowing!!  The world tries to offer us things to take our eyes off of Him, but the happiness in things if this world only last for a season.  Happiness in God NEVER ends!!  His love is ALWAYS there for us!!!

Hope you have a great Monday!

High Five For Friday!!!!

I hope you have had a wonderful week!!  Here is a glimpse into my week:

1.  My dear friend Venecia (V) came by my sisters house to give us our copy of the book she wrote "I Have To Get Some Things Off My Chest"   We even got an autograph:)  She is a four time cancer survivor!!  I am so blessed to call her my friend.  Check out her website and purchase your own copy of her book :)
2.  Another one of my friends Kendall made me this awesome sign.  I put it in my office at work:)  She is so talented!
3.  My yummy soup!!  Dieting is not easy, but progresso does make good soup!
4.  My nails this week!!
5.  I had a good hair day and wanted to share :)  Good hair days are few and far between in the South!  The humidity kills me lol.  Having naturally curly hair doesn't help either :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Weekend Fun!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!  Mine was pretty good:)  Here are some snip-its from mine:

Friday
Normally I am very excited about Friday, bit this Friday was different.  Mainly because I had to visit the dentist:(.  I have had a problem with TMJ since I was 16.  It is terrible!!!  My jaws have been very swollen for several months now.  Thankfully after my visit I hope I am on the mend.  Back to wearing my splint every night (I look like I'm going to play football instead of going to sleep lol), but if it helps I'm all for it!

That night I went to work at my moms beauty shop and did this super cute Atlanta Braves design in my friends toes.:)

When I got home I had a wonderful surprise..... My July Birchbox:))))  I can't wait to try everything.

Saturday
This was a sad day.  We didn't say good bye, but see you later to my God-given niece Brittany's mom.  My sweet friend Muriel went with me to do her nails.  She wanted French tip with a little flower.  They looked beautiful.

That night Me, Wade, Muriel & Greg went to see Phil Robertson.  He was great!  He didn't just speak, he brought the word:). 

We finished up the night with dinner at a local Mexican restaurant.

Sunday

First was church, then lunch and finally home for baseball and a nap.  I love Sunday afternoon naps.  After my much needed nap we went to Sonic for a Sonic Blast.  Yummy!!!!!

Hope you had a terrific weekend!!  Have a great week!

He is my strength!!!!

I think its amazing how God sends you the right verse or message just when you need it!!!  I really needed this verse today!!  I struggle with letting go and letting God.  So thankful this was my Bible verse today!!  A wonderful reminder!!!

High Five For Friday!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful week!  Here are my top five things from my week:

1.  My sister and her family were on a trip with there church, so I got to feed their sweet dog Roscoe (I call him Rosco P Coltrane lol).
2.  Found a new flavor by crystal light to add to my favorites.  I can only drink water with flavor lol!
3.  Love our Gizmo!  He is a ginormous ( not sure if that's a word, but he is huge) cat, but he is so handsome!!
4.  Tried a new thing from interest,  Putting Visine in mascara to make it last longer.  My mascara was running out so I tried the Cosine thing and it worked:)  Loved the way it made my eye lashes look:)
5.  Spent some time in the tanning bed:)  Now I don't look pasty:)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Weekend Fun!!!!

I Hope everyone had a terrific weekend!!  Mine was extra good because I had 2 days off from work and spent time with my wonderful family!!  Here are some snip-its from my weekend....

Friday
I was off work, so I got to be lazy for most of the day!  Stayed in the bed way to long :)  cuddling with my babies and watching a Charlie's Angels marathon!  (you won't see a pic of me cuddling with Gizmo because he only cuddles with Wade)  After some lazy time I did some thrift store shopping with my friend Muriel.  We had so much fun!  Finished the day with movie and cuddle time with my hubs!:)

 

Saturday
This was a no make up day:)  I don't have those very often because I look absolutely terrible, well you will see from the picture below.  Anyway my hubs likes it when I wear a hat and no makeup so I did it for him.  We went to a local Chinese Restaurant for lunch, then just piddled (that is a southern word for Aimlessly spending time lol).  That night we had done friends over for dinner and a movie.

Sunday
Church was first of course, then home for lunch and a nap:)  I had my nap with Piper.  He loves to cuddle:) 

I am so Blessed!!  Hope you had a great weekend too!!
