May God be Glorified......

This is a tough post to write..

I have been trying to think of something to say fitting the situation, but there really are no words.

So I will just speak from my heart.

Sunday night, one of my good friends whom I have known for over 5 years, lost her husband unexpectedly. She is 29 and he was 30. Together, they have a beautiful 7 year old daughter, named Bethanne. While I did not know her husband well, I know Emily, and she is one of the kindest, funniest, God loving people that I know. She is so thoughtful and giving I can't even tell you. My heart is breaking for her and the pain she is going through. My heart is also breaking because I know there is nothing I can do to take away the pain that she is enduring. All I can do is ray, which is what I have been doing, almost non stop since I found out about her great loss. I ask you all to pray for Emily and Bethy. We can't see God's plan or even imagine what he could be doing taking a loving husband and father away from those who need him most, but my greatest prayer is that he use Aaron's life and death as a way to bring people to him and affect people like never before.

When things like this happen its good to remember that we take so much of our lives for granted. Good health, a safe place to live, good friends, family we love... If nothing else, please take a minute tonight to think of everything that God has blessed you with. Love your family and those close to you, and don't take people and life for granted. Tell those you love, that you love them, do it frequently, do it honestly, and never take it for granted.

jesus is cool

January Recap

Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window. BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it. I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea

It's me, Charity
