Friday Roundup… Birthday Edition!

One

Week Recap

Hey y'all… first of all… it's my birthday.  How old am I?  As borrowed from a friend of mine, we will just say this year is "the end of twenty," so I better soak up this last year of twenty somethingness, right?

Beyond that… life is crazy right?  I feel like I inhale on Monday and don't exhale again until the weekend.  But this weekend happens to be especially busy so maybe I will exhale ned week.

AND… if you have been following along you know that one of our major goals for the year was to save cash for a car.  Well… this past week BOTH of our cars transmissions went out on the same day. Thankfully one is under warranty so theres that.  But we are officially a one car family until we save up!  Any one out there have advise for working as a one car family???

And of course my Instagram week… 

Our Georgia snow day…

Dreaming and planning a new week…

Loving siblings…

Ummmm… so for real, reading blogs is one of my favorites and this week there has been exactly ZERO time.  Please forgive me… it is my birthday :)

*I have wanted a sweater scarf forever… but can't quite justify it because I am embarrassed to admit how many scarves I already have.  But this video from Tiffany at Bright on a Budget has me wanting to get one, especially now that I know how to style it.

* Warm weather.  Seriously, I have been dreaming about the beach and sunny warm days.  I know I should not wish winter away, but I am really struggling with this… I am just not a cold weather person.

God is teaching me...

I have just started a study of Daniel with our small group and I am consistently amazed at what slowing down and really digging through scripture does!

This quote from the Wiersbe commentary, Be Resolute, pretty much sums up what God has been moving in my heart this week.

"How can God's people resist thee pressures that can "squeeze" them into conformity with the world? According to Romans 12:1-2, "conformers" are people whose lives are controlled by pressure from without, but "Transformers" are people whose lives are controlled by power from within." Daniel and his three friends were transformers: instead of being changed by the world they did the changing!  God used them to transform the minds of powerful rulers and bring great glory to His name in a pagan land."

How was your week?

  4. Happy birthday! I am sorry to hear about the cars, that's not a fun way to start off the year! It's good one can be fixed under warranty though :)

    We are lucky that we have great public transport here so we don't need two cars but it would be frustrating not to have one when you need it so often!

  7. Hi i want to give thanks to priest Aluta Magic Temple for helping me bring back my ex back, i was seriously in a heartbreak with my ex and i think all hope was lost until i was browsing the internet and i saw a testimony that someone shared about priest Aluta Magic Temple and i choose to contact him also to see if he can still help me i gave him a trial but at the end joy and happiness filled my heart i have never believed in a spell caster because i have been a victim of scammers on the internet, he casted a love spell on my ex to make realize the truth. My Ex who break up with me for more than 9 month called me after 5 days of meting Dr Aluta and she want to come back to me she even apologize to all she had done to me and want my forgiveness. so reader if you are out there looking for the help of any kind in your relationship or marriage you are advise to contact his email;
