Becoming a Woman of Excellence-Discretion

So I am really loving my Women's Bible Study at my church on Weds nights. I was wanting to meet people and get connected since I don't know that many people at my big church, and it is really helping.

We're doing a study on becoming Women of Excellence and I cannot tell you how much I needed this! I am learning so much and growing, well hopefully growing, as a result of it! I have met so many wonderful women of all age groups and experiences and I LOVE hearing their take on scripture and where they are at in their lives and walk with God.

Tonight we talked about Discretion. Whew, boy howdy, did I ever need this chapter! I was hoping we could spend a few weeks on it because I knew I really needed it!

When I think of discretion I think of my Mom, she never says anything improper and always has a graceful classy way about her. I aspire to be like that but am sadly nowhere close.

What I got out of tonight was about TALKING. I do alot of talking. And I've realized, thanks to our discussion, that I don't do very much listening. As one girl said, when people are talking to me or telling me their problems, I am allready forming my response in my head and figuring out how to tell them my opinion or jump in with something of my own. I never realized how WRONG and selifsh that was untill tonight! Its as bad as gossiping!

SO that is something I am really going to try and work on. I got to put it into action on the phone tonight, I think God was testing me!!! :) And for once I just LISTENED.

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
