Hello Friends & Sunshine!

I don't know the weather is where you are but I'm so blessed by the sun in Oregon today!
I know I know it has been a looooong time since I last blogged oh boy. I will justify myself and say that I have literally no time on my hands to blog lately. So better late than never:)

This past weekend I want to a NW regional conference with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and the them was Just Money. There was talks about being grateful for the wealth that God has given us (dude I bet you didn't know that Americans are in the 2nd richest in the world, that means even "poor college students"). The Bible calls us to share our wealth with the poor and we can do this by living simply and being generous with our money, ehm excuse me God's money. All of these things have been on my heart for a years now but it's always difficult for me to tangibly change my ways. So I'm going to start with some small steps!

One of those steps is to help me appreciate my wealth and not going spending more on myself.
I've done this challenge once before and it was incredible so here it is....

The 30 items for 30 days Challenge!

So you'll need...

30 clothing items (not including workout clothes, undergarments, and accessories)


For example these items will include: shoes, pants/skirts, dresses, shirts, sweatshirts & jackets.
I know this doesn't seem like a lot but trust me it is and you get to play around with your accessories maybe you've forgotten about a necklace or two?

If you're up for it..
1. blog about this commitment / if you're not a blogger , write about your commitment through facebook 2.mention my blog in your post .
3. follow my blog / or like my blog through facebook .
4. comment below / comment through facebook so i know you're in for the challenge
I'm so excited to do this a challenge again! Last time I did this I was so grateful for what I have and realized that I seriously don't need anymore clothes in my closet even though I LOVE fashion. 
If you wish to join me I'll be starting this Monday:)
Have fun picking out your items & I'll give you a preview of mine Sunday!

I'm sooo thrilled because I just got my package from my mamma!! OH joy I now have crafting materials and treats and things! I feel so much love oh it's good thanks mom!! Today is just a great day I keep seeing God do so much good every where I look it's mind blowing mind blowing I tell you! Here's a little lovely song that I hope will put some hope & love & joy in your hearts:) By the way it's Day 9 I kept it simple today with my jewelry, which I usually do, but these rings I wear everyday.  The rose ring I found a few years back at a antique shop at the beach & it helps remind me that there is always beauty after pain or troubles. The heart ring my mom but my last year & it symbolizes to me how great my community, family, and God loves me and everyone around me cause God's love is what makes the world go round:) My blue topaz ring is my purity ring, true love will await me! My best friend Venisa and I personalized thi

New eyes, new life.

First off I want to thank all of you who supported me financially and prayerfully. You all made a huge effort in getting me to summit and I can't thank you enough! Without you and Jesus of course, I wouldn't have had such an amazing and life changing experience.  If you couldn't already tell summit was amazing ! Not only did I gain amazing new relationships with my friends in IV(Intervarsity Christian Fellowship), but I gained an entire new perspective of how I look at the world and how I want to live in it. We studied in Acts and learned how to live in a community that eats together, prays together and does everything else together. We learned to live simply and realized that we actually can survive with the bare necessities and that we don't really need the things that we want. Who seriously needs to have every new material possession? If you think about it you will be able live without it, I promise you. We spent our days at work cites as we served the homele

Mixed feelings about the Superbowl

Image
This weekend one of my favorite and least favorite events is happening. All month I have been looking forward to February 2 but also completely dreading this day at the same time. You might be thinking sheesh girl you have some polar opposite emotions about this day! You are right, I totally do!  I am completely ecstatic that the seahawks will be playing in the superbowl!! It's only their second time ever at the superbowl and I am so proud of our NW team! My family has always been fans and well this time the seahawks must win! I even got inspired by a friend to make seahawk scarfs for my business, why not they are awesome! I definitely could have made much more business if I had only thought of that sooner, ha oh well!  BUT, I on the flipside my body is sick thinking about this game day because believe it or not it is the biggest incident of human trafficking in the U.S.  January is Human Trafficking awareness month and as an advocate I am asking for your prayers and intercession
