List Of Three

Y'all know I love lists. So Lets just get to it. This weekend was fanwonderlous.
 Top 3 reasons.

1. Getting all dressed up for Lo and Behold Dinner Theatre. Me and my mother in law were unpurposefully matching. And Lee is just one gorgeous man. Don't you agree?

2. Feeding the baby sancho goat. Me and Lee considered getting a goat for half a second. Then Mirabelle started making incredibly annoying noises (neighing?) Teacup piggy here we come!

3. I had a dream that Lee came to my room at 2 a.m. and scooped me up in a big hug! In the process of his scoop he pulled out my earing. In the dream I was too tired to care. Imagine my surprise when my pearl earing lay in bed with me the next morning! I interrogated Lee. Turns out it wasn't a dream!

Hope your weekend was a spectacular as mine!!

Bubbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On Sunday, I sat in between my boyfriend and my friend at church. I held hands with both of them. I am not ashamed that when we stood up for prayer, everyone behind us probably thought we were in some sort of strange open relationship. Instead I would have been ashamed to have not appreciated God's grace in my life at the moment.

I did nothing to deserve the                               I did nothing to deserve the
love of mi novio. But God                                      friendship of smEllie. But
loves Lee and God uses                                        God cares for her and God
Lee to show me how much                                     uses her to show me how
God loves me.                                                         much God cares for me.

 

Later that night I lay in bed and decided not to read my bible or pray or journal. I decided to blow bubbles from my  new bubble necklace that Lee bought me. I always want to remember how I felt sittin' in God's presence and just blowin' bubbles. Maybe next time I have a bad day I can pull that feeling out and have peace beyond understanding. Bubbles are like God's grace. Perfect and complete and only destructed when earthly matters interfere. 

Plus... arent they beautiful????? 

Relinquishing Control

Me and LenLee are renovating his our the trailer.

We're hoping by the end of this renovating period the trailer will look like this:

So far I've chosen:
1. couch fabric- dark brown
2. tiles for the floors
3. tiles in the kitchen
4. cabinet handles
5. cabinet stain
6. faucet styles and colors

Feeling like this wasn't a "joint effort" and more of a "me-effort" [but hellooooo, i'm the girl!], 

I decided to let him choose the paint color. 

This was a very small leash though. I told him

1. no bright colors!
2. no dark colors!
3. no designs!
4. a derivative of off-white, beige, or tan, if you will!

And the only space we're considering painting is fairly small compared to the rest of the trailer. 

But as small the space that I gave him to exercise his creative side... We ended up with:

1. bright yellow walls
2. with dark
3. boxes as the design

That's what I get for making my colorblind novio choose paint colors.

Pics coming sooooon!

Uncommon

Life Uncommon Song from Grace Point Church on Vimeo.

A common day, an ordinary day

My feet are tired, You seem so far away

The same old song, the same forgotten dreams

I've turned into the person that I didn't think I'd ever be

To a life uncommon, running instead of crawling

Kneeling so I can fall 

into the arms of love uncommon

I've been asleep so come awaken me

Unleash the passion You designed and put inside of me

Uncommon grace, uncommon mercy

Give me compassion for the world You put in front of me

My heart is yours, my soul is aching

To take the opportunities I've never taken

I need rebirth, a new beginning

To shake me up, to push me out of the comfort I've been living in
