Don't gain the whole World but lose your own soul.....
It’s true…what they say, and what I’ve been told my whole
life is true. That whole sang…”Life is one of those things that’s constantly
changing.” As I get older, I keep learning how much I don’t really know. Or how
much I thought I knew but I’m actually just clueless. It’s cliché’ and cheesy
to say something such as this, but I believe I’m in the time of my life where
some of the biggest lessons I’ll ever learn while roaming this Earth are
happening today. It would be easy for me to slide by and not really pay attention to the
stuff I’m learning and discovering… And
sometimes it’s overwhelming and I just want to escape it for a few seconds, but
most of the time and at the end of every day I can’t help but be engaged with
it.
Some stuff I’m learning lately…
Go with the flow. Don’t have
expectations. Surprises > Plans. Have dreams that scare me. Live in the moments because in those moments,
are always exactly where I need to be. Slow down, don’t rush. Take risks. Be kind. Don’t hate yourself for making
mistakes. Play outside. Play more. Wear something that makes you happy. Forgive.
Work, but make it more than just a job. Guard your heart. Laugh loudly. Laugh more. Get away, Go Out.
Don’t keep secrets. Don’t take stuff so seriously sometimes. Have traditions. Don't be blinded by shiny objects. Dance & Sing more. Soak
in people’s wisdom and be inspired. Talk to strangers. Live in a city where you hardly know anyone. Let life come easy. Make pretty home-made things. A prayer never goes unheard. Each day is particular.
Don’t be afraid of money. Sometimes it's good to be alone. Listen. Don’t gain the World and lose your own soul.

1 Corinithians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
...simple, but so good. Sitting on this lately. Rockin' Me.
RAW FOOD....
So I decided in a couple weeks (because i'll be out of town/ & travelin' the next couple of weeks) I'm going to change my eating habbits! I want to incorporate "Raw Eating" into it a small bit!...I know right,? Kinda out there & strange...but I thought it could be interesting, & a fun little experiment.
Raw Zuchini Pasta is first up!! If my love for pasta can turn into love for zuchini?!... I'm in!
Here is the recipe...and some other nifty ones I also wouldn't mind trying....
Happy Raw Eating! ;)

Luke 18. Gave Up Everything.
Luke 18...
This guy gave up EVERYTHING to follow Jesus...
22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Rotatilling...Headphones...
God has laid it on my heart to delete all extra added noise that goes into my heart and into my ears and into my head. I feel like He’s asking me to literally put on headphones to escape the loud World, just so He can put me in my place once again. I feel like He’s been waiting days for me to do this. I know He’s been fighting for my full attention and if I’m honest with myself I’ve only glanced and fist bumped Him here and there. He’s been patiently waiting for me to just look at Him so He can reveal to me more of who He is and more of who He says I’am. …Over and over and over again.
It’s been awhile, since I’ve really just sat down and weeded through my soul and pruned and hacked and planted. It’s funny to me how easy it is for me to even BS myself, and how hard it is to admit to even just myself the weeds in my heart and the pot holes that need a seed planted in it. It’s so easy for me to get in this position of acting like I don’t need Him because I know everything and what I’m doing and what’s happening. Sounds cliché I know…but really. I usually live my life like I’m Oprah. And it’s the scariest…I usually have no clue how desperate I’am for Him every day. And that’s starting to freak me out. I’m ready to be pruned and revived.
I feel like I need a good “rotatilling” job. …Something kinda of funny and interesting…I looked up the definition of a “Rotatiller” and it told me… ”Rototilling will take many hours of backbreaking work out of preparation to plant seeds or plants in your vegetable or flower garden.” Hhaha…funny right? Yup, I need that. I need a rotatilling fix…
I understand that this “quiet” season will take hours…maybe weeks, maybe months…It’ll take tears, discipline, a fight, selflessness…The whole good, bad, & ugly shebang. But more than anything quiet intimate times with God, and the Word of Truth. I want it. I’m not really sure how extreme this “fast” I suppose you could call it will be. Or how long, or what it really, truly looks like... Maybe no more social networking, or music in my car for awhile or I really don’t know…but I do know the Lord is telling me to put on headphones, listen to The Holy Spirit, and be obedient.
I’m so excited to hear from Him, to really listen. I want receive words from Him that will mark me, change me from the inside out forever. I want to learn, and take on a permenant posture of REALLY being taken for Him. I seriously just want to be on my hands and face giving Him everything, giving up everything, giving Him all my attention all hours of the day. Huzzah. So I guess now it just means, ready, set, go… Amen.

I want to go.... Camping! Mmm mm mm.
I really, really, really want to escape for a short couple of days and camp. I miss camping like I used to when I was a kiddo. I made some of the best memories of my life doing it... Ima try and make a camp trip swing! Who's in?
Banjo
a wise woman told me yesterday that I need to start praying for my Husband and His character everyday. So I'm doing it. Besides the "common important" characteristics...I would really love for him to play the banjo :) ...
Last Night was amazing. It was a night of prayer, words, and deliverence. I was so spiritually thirsty for this. Cindy, Bobby, and Lisa Laughlin and I prayed over the Laughlin House and over my House. And we prayed for each other including Morgan and Hayden as well. I haven't felt God's presence this thick in a long time. Tears of freedom came flowing out of my eyes as I heard and recieved life changing words. "Be still and Know" are one of the phrases I recieved. It's so fascinating to me how it really just comes down to how much we need God, and as well as each other. It was beautiful to be able to confess and proclaim truth with such lovely people. That is what Heaven looks like. I love The Laughlin family and I'm so thankful for our authentic relationship.
Happy Fall!
Happy Fall
I welcome my most favorite season warmly. :)
The other day I got to buy my first pumpkin spice candles of the season and purchased some Fall decor! (The Fall decor was a 1st because it's the First Fall I've had my own place!) Oh I'm so happy you're here Fall.PS: The Valley is absolutely beautiful this time of year, and I hope to go on a Fall PicNic at some point, like the photo above. ;)

Freelancing Awayyyy.
Just got back on board with Freelancing for Bare Escentuals! So fun being back in the MakeUp World, and such a blessing to have gotten this fun little side job! Let me doll you up? ;)
Velocity Jr. High Girls Lifegroup
Just helped launch the Velocity Jr. High Girls Lifegroup. These little ladies are amazing. Their hearts burn for each other and the World. Last night they decided they want to have a "Cupcake Sale" and put all proceeds into "Operation Freedom" which is an organization working toward freeing Sex Slaves. Does this not warm your heart? It sure does mine. So neat to see this generation living for God and His Kingdom.

Sprucing Up the Paradigm Room...
We're sprucing up the Paradigm Room :) So much fun! We replaced the red wall with a Chalkboard Wall, touching up paint, re-organizing, getting new pictrures etc...I'm having a blast! So neat to be able to do something so sweet and for something so sweet, with my love for design and creativity.
we wrote on the walls with prayers before we painted over :)
Painting with these Cuties :)
