do you ever look at old pictures...


and, say to yourself - what the {beeeep} was i thinkin'...

normally, i would probably think that
but, in this case i'm embracing my "silly, ridiculous, funny" pictures.


apparently, i thought it was cool to put dirty money in my mouth - ewwwww! 
that picture was taken at 4 in the morning, after a long night of celebrating a fab bachelorette party.  i don't even know where to begin to explain the second picture - let's just i was playin' dress up. lol. and, the third picture...who goes swimming wearing a plastic cap??? this girl does. hello, remember i'm mixed and i just got my hair did - why would i ruin a perfectly good do... just to go swimming?! ;) don't judge me please. lastly, no words for that one. just being lil' ole me. so, i think we're all officially besties since you've seen this gosh awful pictures. 
gotta have fun with this cray cray thing called life :)

do you and enjoy doin' you.
have lots of fun.
soak up every single minute of everyday.
laugh - it cures everything.
love, love, love and love some more.

life is simply beautiful.


and, don't forget to wear a pretty crown :)

lessons.


God's Lessons

Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God.
Proverbs 1:7 MSG

When it comes to life's lessons, we can learn them the easy way, or we can learn them the hard way. The easy way can be summed up as follows: when God teaches us a lesson, we learn it - the first time. Unfortunately, too many of us catch on much more slowly than that.

When we resist God's instruction, He continues to teach us, whether we like it or not. Our challenge, then, is to discern God's lessons from the experiences of everyday life. Hopefully, we learn those lessons sooner rather than later - because the sooner we do, the sooner our heavenly Father can move on to the next lesson, and the next, and the next...

True learning can take place at every age of life,
and it doesn't have to be in the curriculum plan.
- Suzanne Dale Ezell

*******************

This powerful message is from my devotion book - it touched me, so I thought I would share. Recently, I've stumbled across some amazing (seriously amazing) Christian bloggers and boy can they write! I especially love and adore how deeply they express their love and faith in God. Most of their posts leave me inspired, in tears (good kinda tears) and a deeply touched heart.

Check 'em out...








hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed week :)

carrie said it best...

when you figure out love is all that matters after all
it sure makes everything else
oh it sure makes everything else
seem so small.



couldn't have said it better myself.
its amazing how we can relate to songs sometimes...
