Conversation #77: Daily Outfit

Okay, so I haven't posted any pictures for a while, and I have a lot of backlog photos, but here is my most recent one from yesterday. 


Jacket: The Limited, TJ Maxx, $20
Tee: Lands' End, Sears, $2
Pants: NY and CO., $? (don't remember, but I think $15)
Shoes: Coconuts clogs, DSW, $32
Scarf: Gift from Mom, free for me

It was a little cooler yesterday so I could pull out a jacket.  I love jackets and coats, but don't need them much down here.  I can't figure out how to layer items in a cute way during the warmer months without being a hot sweaty mess - I mean a glowing mess!

I'm looking forward to Easter this weekend, and I hear the Good Friday service at our church on Friday evening is really amazing.  I'm excited to be able to go this year.  I feel like God has so been working on my heart lately, but I keep pushing Him away for fear of what He will ask of me.  Why do I keep doing that when I see so many Christians around me that have let Him in and are enjoying the abundant life?  I used to be less afraid when I was younger, but as I grow older, I let my fears hold me back so much more.

I just finished up the study One in a Million by Priscilla Shirer, and I want to be one in a million (it talks about the journey the Israelites took through the wilderness to the Promised Land and how only two out of two million got to enter and enjoy the land of milk and honey and abundant living with God). I don't know what might happen in the future, but I hope I fight my fears soon and become one in a million.  I really should devote more to this topic so look for that in the future.

Until then - Happy Thursday!!!

A Conversation about Absenteeism

Wow!  It has been too long.  I have still kept up on reading everyone’s blogs, but commenting and writing have been out the window for me.  I have thought often about blog topics, and I’ll try to get back on regular posts tomorrow. Basically, the last few weeks have been full of preparing for this past Saturday.  What was this past Saturday, you may ask?  My incredibly intelligent and amazing husband graduated from law school!!!!!!!!!  I can hardly contain my excitement.  I am proud beyond words, and now we just have one last hurdle: the bar exam.  I know the next two and half months will still be full of study, but it still doesn’t squash my excitement of no more late night classes, missed parties, or tension filled finals weeks.  We are done!  I only say “we” because it is definitely a path that affects both the student and family, but trust me, the hubby did ALL the work!  Needless to say though, we had lots of family in town...

Conversation #204: My Jesus...

Oh Facebook and social media of all kinds...we have a love hate/relationship.  Lately, these days, I feel it is more hate only because I allow myself to be depressed by things I see.  I recently told someone the other day that I had lost faith in humanity, and then it hit me, that is exactly where I should be.  We are a fallen people in a fallen world, and I should have NO faith in humanity.  Why did that take me 30 years to figure out? So there has been a lot of political/social stuff swirling around, and division among Christians, and I hate it.  Like I said, I have no faith in humanity and realizing that was a good reminder it should ALL be in the Lord.  Even though there are definitely things going on in this world that reject the truth of the Gospel, Jesus, the thing that scares me the most these days is the phrase I alluded to in the title: "my Jesus wouldn't believe this" or "I can't follow a God that would say that" or "I just don't believ...

Conversation #32: Kitchen Design Help!

Okay, I don’t really know that too many people read this blog since I moved to a new address, but I’m begging if you do, please help me.  I am at a loss on what to do with part of my kitchen. Here is how I painted my kitchen 3 years ago: It was fun, bright, and I like it, but we decided it needed to be a bit more grown-up these days.  I knew we would have to paint it before we moved so we decided to just go ahead and do it now for a change.  We decided to go with a gray so that it would be neutral but not boring.  However, the gray had a strong blue tone to it on the walls and now I need to phase out my turquoise decor I think. Here are some afters (still putting it back together): Some of these are the same shots but with/without flash to show the colors.  I think I really like the new color, but the turquoise trim does not go anymore in my opinion.  I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, and I need help!!! ...
