A post from my best friend… Tonight I am making dinner with one of my best and oldest friends. She’s pretty amazing. See for yourself here. I always love our time together, even though it has been more scattered since we’ve been in college. We are blessed, however, to attend the same school and get to share in each others lives even if only sporatically. I’ve learned so much from being...

Why Online Shopping Fits
It fits me, anyways. At right around 5’0”, finding clothes that flatter isn’t always easy. Oh believe me, I love shopping—or I try to love it anyways. Most shopping adventures; however, leave me in a less than stellar mood after trying on multiple pair of pants that are too long and too many shirts that fall right off my shoulder. My solution? Online shopping. Favorite...

i love them.
Over MLK weekend, a few of my besties and I went over to good old Birmingham, Alabama, for a relaxing weekend at Margaret’s lake house. It was a weekend full of too many belly laughs, just enough sugar and lots of quality time with each other before the craziness that is college settled once again. Oh, and I can’t forget about meeting precious Evie, Lauryn’s little dog hiding...

here's to 2011...
So far, 2011 is off to a great start. I’ve spent a relaxing weekend at the lake in Birmingham with precious friends and have since jumped into readings and assignments.  I’ve come to conclusion that I’m much more productive in the mornings because at night I’m usually just thinking about whatever show I’m going to watch that night. For example, Real Housewives of...

packin' my bags.
{via} “If we could see beyond the veil of the natural world, look upon our true surroundings, see the kingdom in the distance, and behold the face of Jesus Christ, we’d realize the tragedy of ever settling into a stagnant, mediocre relationship with God. You and I have places to go. People to meet. Dragons to slay. Foes to defeat. If God had already taken us everywhere He intended,...

reaching out
Australia holds a special place in my heart. At the ripe age of 16, I traveled there only to be transformed by the people, the nature and the culture that surrounded me. Right now, though, this country is hurting. I know we are too—and honestly, everything going on here probably makes me even more sensitive to the issues overseas. But tonight, I just want you to know that as helpless as we...

the more things change
via Can you believe it’s 2011? I have a good feeling about this year. I remember being a little girl and feeling like 2000 was so far away. I had to get all the way to 10 years old before the millenium was over. Based on the notions of the future I had back then it seemed as though we’d be flying Jetsonmobiles and have time machines by now. Thankfully, the more things change, the...

Bumbling Honey: andy stanley- appetites →
A life changing message. Seriously. Heard it Monday morning and cannot stop thinking about it.  bumblinghoney: Still in awe of what Jesus is doing through passion. Andy Stanley, one of the few speakers who captures 100% of my attention 100% of the time delivered a powerful message about appetites (Not so much regarding food) Andy said if 20 year old Andy knew what 40 year old Andy knew- his...
