hi! i’m a barista! 🙂 let me start off by saying i really dislike this picture, but it’s the only one i have of me actually working! AND since this photo was taken many moons ago (shout out to good ‘ol dickson city drive thru!) i have successfully advanced to the BLACK apron. yes folks, i am a coffee MASTER. anyway… over the course of this past week, i have received FOUR different presents from THREE different customers! seriously! it’s…
i can not sit still. my heart is just BUBBLING over with happiness! check it out. for the previous several weeks in my life, i felt as if i was drowning in a deep, dark, black ocean with enormous waves constantly crashing down on my head. i couldn’t get out. i was sinking further and further into the depths of the darkest sea. well, God wanted to rescue me! He chose to fly me all the way to jersey for…
i am happy to be who i am. there’s some thing in life about being true to who you really are that brings a great amount of assurance and peace. it’s because being who God made me to be allows me to see how much He loves me. how much He believes in me. how much He adores me, just the way i am, because HE MADE ME THIS WAY!!!! 🙂 it truly blows my mind.
trust in him at ALL times…pour out your hearts to him…for God is our refuge… yeah… 🙂
do you ever just forget who you are? without even realizing it, i have! it’s not like it goes “oh shoot! i forget who i am…let me try to find me…”. it comes from some where else. some where deeper. i’m walking along in life, happy as can be, and some thing from some where deep comes outta nowhere and says “hey! listen up…you forgot about yourself in this (whatever this is) way!” I LOVE DISCOVERING ME! don’t get me…
i feel compelled to share this story tonight. i ache over the situation, and i hurt for my friend. i can’t do any thing with out this story crossing my heart. i can’t do any thing without stopping to pray for my friend. it’s consuming my thoughts. without giving too many details (to protect all those involved)…my young friend, who is newly married is suffering a great deal. her husband isn’t speaking to her, and is cheating on her (from…
hi. can’t really say what i’m thinking right now. it’s not so much because i don’t want to, it’s more because i have a feeling if i type what i’m feeling it’ll come across as me being cranky pants. maybe i am cranky pants, but i don’t want to spread it around, so i’ll keep my pants to myself. HAHA! i just realized how that sounded and i just HAVE to keep it! the good thing is, i just LOVE…
i was reminded a couple of weeks ago of my love and adoration of swings. i don’t know how i had forgotten! seriously, ever since i was a little girl i wanted a swing. didn’t matter what kind: tree swing, swing set, tire swing, porch swing… back in the fall i took an amazing vacation to the OBX in NC. right outside my already luxurious bedroom was a massive front porch. and what do ya know? a precious porch swing….
so i’ve spent an enormous part of my day working on this thing! it’s a bit silly, but i was LOVING every minute of it! just so you all know- i love you, my blogging world friends! how can i not?! i adore writing…. and having people read it? it rocks! so anyway! i lost my links earlier today, due to the new template (beware those of you who are thinking about a new template! it’s a major pain in…
luke, trisha, and chail are all home! yeah! praise our powerful Jesus!! they actually all got home a few days ago, but my life has been quite…different…so i haven’t been able to blog until today. normally the hospital does not allow babies to go home before they are 36 weeks, and they let chail leave at 34 1/2 weeks! hello- God is awesome!! these pictures just absolutely BLOW my mind! makes me wanna cry. how is there a new person…
