Peace in my Soul

I just have to say that I stole this quote from my new friend from bible study, Kimberely's facebook and I just LOVE it!

...That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats everything out of never trying.

(Well other than the waking is better than sleeping, because you all know how I feel about sleep!
I<3>)

This quote kind of explains the past two weeks in my life! My first two weeks as a 28 yr old were not exactly stellar to say the least. And that's putting it mildly!! There has been alot of stress, worry, drama, tears and heartache.It hasn't been the most fun I've ever had but I feel like I am being stretched, and growing in different ways that I wouldn't have, had these weeks been bland as vanilla.

I am learning to go to God for my worries (WORRY VS CONCERN!!) and problems and I'm leanring what its like to truly pour my heart out to him. I will confess that it is still challenging for me to totally give up everything, I am a worrier by nature and like to obsess over things and analyze every little detail but that is so not healthy for me. I was sick for four days this past weekend and I know part of it was just from all the worry and heartache. Part of which I could have avoided if I hadn't avoided the real issue, but I digress!!

This song is really speaking to my heart right now, especially the first verse. Chris Tomlin has amazing lyrics and really just hits it home. This is the first verse to I will Rise-


There's a peace I've come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There's an anchor for my soul
I can say "It is well"

When I was away at college in FL, it was a very rough time, and my favorite song, and mantra that I would repeat in my head became It is well with my soul. (Yes, can you tell i'm a musician everything in my life revolves around music and lyrics! (great movie btw))

And tonight as I sit on my couch, listening to my Jesus music and the glorious spring rain fall steadily outside, I am at peace. I do not know what tomorrow or the next week will hold. Undoubtedly there will be heartache and struggles and worry, but I am at peace because I have a Saviour who loves me.

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
