Searching.

I received this note anonymously from a teen. I keep it on my desk to remind me of the importance of God's mission.

"It's not at all that I don't believe..
But I would like a sign of some sort..
to help me understand the truths and falses of all religions..
It's been on my mind for like ever and a half
I JUST WANNA KNOW."

Who in your life may "just wanna know?"

Puck.

Dear Ladies,

As much as I know you may want him under the tree, I know best. Therefore I will not be giving you Puck as your Christmas present. Every girl deserves a guy that will respect and cherish her. In the show Glee, Puck does not seem to offer that. I want to give you the best and only the best. Your love lives are always so hard to keep up with, can you make it a little bit easier for me? Just ask me for a Snuggie or something.

Merry Christmas!

Read Em.

I read two fabolous books this weekened, "Sacred Singleness" and "Redefining Beautiful."

"Sacred Singleness" offers a Godly and very refreshing way to live as a single female. My favorite line from this fantastic book: "A heart centered upon Christ is the most glorious romance you could ever imagine." How true! With all the traits God has, who could imagine a better romantic!? Certainly, not even Edward Cullen is more smooth than our G-MAN <3 Much thanks to the author, Leslie Ludy!

"Redefining Beautiful" reminds us of our perfect father's love and how it can mold us into beautiful women. Jenna Lucado delves deep into her eight life accessories; security, identity, value, love, self-control, peace, joy and contentment. A point that stuck out to me the most: "I really started to feel secure when I started to focus on God." You've gotta love that crazy G-MAN and how much he loves us!

I want every female to cover these books with their fingerprints : )

Dreams DO Become Realities...!

Bzzzzz.

Last week as I was leaving for work, I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me in my car. Little did I know that when I opened my car door- there would be a YELLOW JACKET and it's NEST just chillin in the crack my car door. Some nerve that yellow jacket had thinking that Snow White (my car) was his home sweet home! NO WAY is that acceptable. But it was too late, this yellow jacket made himself comfortable. SO, what's a girl to do?!

I stood there debating for a couple minutes AND because I was too AFRAID to attack the yellow jacket myself- I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO WORK WITH A YELLOW JACKET 6 INCHES AWAY FROM ME! Ahh, knowing that this beastly thing was super close to me freaked me out the whole way to work!

I had something I was very scared of right behind me and I did not do anything to face the fear. I could have easily attacked the yellow jacket with my bag, some antifreeze or my banana peel : ) - but I chose to let the fear overcome me.

How often do we let fear stop us from doing what we know is right?

A great quote from Joyce Meyer states: "DO IT AFRAID!" I love this quote because it reminds us that fear can be overcome by simply facing whatever we are afraid of. This quote also implies that fear is not a valid reason to justify our actions or lack thereof.

DO IT AFRAID.

Go get all those YELLOW JACKETS in your life :)
