An hour of sleep
March 13, 2016
Nothing like the mid afternoon rush to remind you of the lost hour of sleep! Though I am seriously excited about it staying bright outside until like 8p 😉
Off to get ready for another fantastic week!

Get a little girly
March 12, 2016
So after seeing a ton of posts about the Plexus Body Cream being amazing in hair I decided to give myself a little pampering today … OMG – they weren’t kidding. The Body Cream is the only thing I used!!!! My hair was sily and shiny and we can’t let that go to waste 😉
I have been debating about wearing make up more regularly so I went and played in the cosmetics department at Nordstroms… What do you think? A little more girlified

Do important stuff first
March 10, 2016
I will admit I am a list maker – BIG TIME! This is a huge boost to productivity and it can also be an avenue for sin.
I am prone to self sufficiency and when I make my lists and follow them maniacally – I am relying on only me.
I am also a driven individual when I want to see things done. Getting things done isn’t bad unless I have lost my heart in the process.
I have my own important stuff list – it is my list that gets done every day! Quiet time with the Lord, drinking enough water, puppy play time, and basic hygiene …. That is it. Everything else is up for negotiation.
I do still make my daily list only after my time with God is done and I typically have no more than 3-5 things daily on it … leave room for change, flexibility and fun.

Make up your mind
March 8, 2016
Sometimes the only thing holding you back is a decision … Commit and go for it. You and your dreams are worth it!

Strength defined by perseverance
March 7, 2016
I have heard the saying that which doesn’t kill you makes you stronger …. Sometimes it feels dramatic. Then others, very appropriate. This morning reflecting on everything that has happened in my life for the past month and in the lives of people I love – I get it!
Romans 5:3-5 The Message
There’s more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!

Act instead of complicate
March 6, 2016
How often do you make more out of something than is really there? I am the former queen over overcomplicating most any area of my life! If I am feeling stressed, I will strongly consider running for the title again and then God grabs hold of me and sets me straight … Simplify through action – don’t think, do! And more often than not, He is prompting me to conversation instead of hiding behind a screen whether it is a computer, a tablet or a phone!
Always Consider the personal Touch!

Take Responsibility for Choosing
March 5, 2016
The first time someone said to me – not choosing is a choice, I was ticked off! I thought she was an arrogant fool! It only took a few years to realize and acknowledge that I was playing the victim card to suit my needs and not take responsibility for my actions. Life was so much easier when I could sit back and blame my problems on everyone else.
Enter Holy Spirit and the power of conviction! Each and every one of us has the power to choose. The consequences for our choices falls at our feet … we will indeed reap what we sow and only God knows when the harvest will be. Make a choice for you today and always remember how God instructs us to live with others …
Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
