As women we often find ourselves asking the question, “Am I beautiful?” We may not be directly asking someone, but I am sure at one point or another you have asked yourself that very question. Which then leads me to ask you this question. Do you think you are beautiful? More importantly, what do you think “being beautiful” truly means? Continue reading →
I thought in honor of my birthday tomorrow, I would share a little bit more about myself…and by a little bit, I mean 36 facts since I am turning 36. Yes I’m old. Let’s just agree to pretend I’m not. Mmmkay? Good. Now that we got that out of the way….haha. I’m sure if you have followed along for awhile on my Instagram, you already know the basics, like I can’t go a day without Jesus and Coffee! But did you know…. Continue reading →
Can you believe it’s the end of November already? Maybe you’re on top of things and have already bought and wrapped your presents this year. {overachiever. haha just kidding!} BUT, maybe you are like me, and are way behind on Christmas shopping. Ok, Ok….I’ll level with you. I haven’t even started! But in my defense, I do my best work under pressure. hehe ;) So for all of you who haven’t finished (or started) here are a few things I think would make a perfect gift for any women in your life. Your friends, your sister, your hair stylist, your mom or hey….maybe your favorite blogger ;) wink-wink. I am especially loving my JORD watch this season! See that mint beauty, smack dab in the middle. It is totally adding a pop of color and fun to my holiday outfits! Want to win one? Of course you do!
Beauty is something {especially as women} that we are always searching for. We look to others at times, for inspiration and maybe even admiration. We obsess over silly things like pimples, height, weight, clothing size, eye color, hair color….and the list goes on and on! We long to “be beautiful” and even if we are told every day that we are beautiful, we don’t believe it. Why? I really don’t have the magic answer as to why we all feel this way, but I do know this.

“Just have faith.” I’m sure you’ve heard that a million times. Or between yet, said it to someone. It seems like an easy thing to do, but to truly have faith, as Christians we know that means trusting in God, even though we don’t know exactly what the outcome may be. It seems scary, but we know that God works all things together for good, for those who love him. {Romans 8:28}
Having faith might be what is going to take you from where you are to where you are supposed to be! Faith is trusting that God knows what He is doing even though your life or situation may make you feel like there is no way that He does. That is the beauty of faith. Trusting God to take you where you need to be, instead of worrying about it yourself. Continue reading →
I found the CUTEST cupcake liners and toppers from Meri Meri for Easter, so of course I had to bake cupcakes, right? Yes, of course! {you said that, right? Ok good. Just making sure we’re on the same page here ;) hehe} I made the most delicious, moist lemon cupcakes with a lemon buttercream for Easter dinner at my parent’s house. Lemon cupcakes are my favorite. As in, when I bake them I eat one, or two…. I say that because I can bake chocolate cupcakes and not be tempted. Lemon, nope that’s all she wrote. Yum!
But this is not about these cupcakes. As pretty and yummy as they were. Easter is one of my favorite times of the year. It is such a beautiful season to reflect on our Savior making the ultimate sacrifice and dying a real and painful death on the cross for us. For YOU and for ME!
“For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whomever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life.” John 3:16
He is RISEN! He is ALIVE! I hope you had a blessed and happy Easter.
