TGIF!

Been crazy busy at work...and will be for the rest of the month. But, I kind of like it like that.

So I have good news and bad news.
Bad News: There is no Fashion Friday's with Heather today. (send her some love on Twitter! @heatherella4)
Good News: You do NOT want to miss her post next Wednesday (11/24) for Black Friday!!!


I am leaving this with you all to take into your weekend:


Coping with Consequences
by Charles R. Swindoll

2 Corinthians 4:10-11, 16-18

I have found great help from two truths God gave me at a time in my life when I was bombarded with a series of unexpected and unfair blows (from my perspective). In my darkest hours these principles still become my anchor of stability, my only means of survival.

Because they work for me, I pass them on to you. Memorize them. Write them on a card and carry it at all times.

*Nothing touches me that has not passed through the hands of my heavenly Father. Nothing. Whatever occurs, God has sovereignly surveyed and approved. We may not know why, but we do know our pain is no accident to Him who guides our lives.
*Everything I endure is designed to prepare me for serving others more effectively. Everything. Since my Heavenly Father is committed to shaping me into the image of His Son, He knows the ultimate value of this painful experience. It is being used to empty our hands of our own resources, our own sufficiency, and turn us back to Him---the faithful Provider. And God knows what will get through to us.

Things may not be logical or fair, but when God is directing the events of our lives, they are right.

TGIF!

Hooray! It's Friday!

(Florida Turnpike)

Thanks to all my blog friends who supported and prayed yesterday. I am so glad I went with my gut and drove up there. It was an amazing service because Nikki was an amazing woman. It was so great to see my sisters, especially my "big". The drive was great! Beautiful scenery and I did nothing but jam out to Christian music and worship my Heavenly Father. I am sure I got some funny looks! Haha. It was hard to turn in my rental car this morning because it was so luxurious! I big change from mine and it left me longing for a new car. (sigh) I also went through as many drive-thrus as possible because my car doesn't have a working window.

My boyfriend is so sweet. He said he had a surprise for me. What was it? He recorded Jimmy Kimmel Live because it was a special show with the cast of Eclipse! Love him.

4 days til Eclipse! 1 month (as of tomorrow) until my cruise!!!!

I hope to catch up on all of your blogs today! So....don't blog until I do...deal? :P

Have a great Friday!

Friday!

Who is happy it's FRIDAY?!
I know I am!

*If you have decided to do Janel's 30 day Journal Challenge...be sure to head over to her blog and grab the button! If you look on the left hand side of my page you can see it. Looks fabulous! Also, make sure you connect to the journal's Flickr page!

*Interested in helping with the massive oil spill? I am disgusted with the way the government and BP has handled all of this...

You can help by purchasing a BP "Beyond Pollution" T-Shirt & support BLACKND, as well as The Institute For Marine Mammal Studies, which is an organization that is currently rescuing and rehabilitating marine animals affected by the oil spill.


(click on the pic-directs you to the purchase page)


$5 of every shirt purchase goes to IMMS.

If you purchase a shirt be sure to take a picture of you wearing it and send it to my email address: pinkstarr403@yahoo.com so that you can be featured on my blog!

Came across this video (thanks Casie!) & wanted to share it with you all... It'll make you laugh, even when it's wrong too, but it summarizes the BP idiots rather well I think!

"This is what happens when BP spills....COFFEE"



TREK (my road bike) is in with the Bike Dr for the weekend...so...No long bike ride Saturday. I am upset but it's impossible to ride if the chain isn't working right!

I have a hair date with my best friend tonight!!! I am so excited to see her and her cute preggo tummy! Yay!

I don't have any big plans this weekend...I might do a random escape on Saturday...just depends on how things go. We shall see!

Have a great weekend, friends!
