Just want to brag on God this morning💕  My husband’s car  broke down back in December. We had it towed to a car shop to fix it, it has been in there for over a month! Starting to feel stressed with only one vehicle, my husband -the problem solver that’s in his character of who he is, wanted to buy a new car. I didn’t feel peace about it. The next morning I realized I hadn’t prayed about this situation at all! So I prayed for God’s Will to be done & for the car to be fixed. That very afternoon Tyler got the call that the car was ready!!🙌🏽 we are going to go pick it up today! 😍 They also replaced his transmission for FREE because it took so long. So this verse is ringing in my head today! 💓 “Don’t’ worry about anything, instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” Sometimes situations in life can be so stressful and for some reason we often feel like we have to figure it out all on our own. But I found that it's so much ea...

Welcome back to my blog! Anyone else feel like there should be a day between Saturday and Sunday?! The weekend always seems to fly by! On the weekends I have 2 rules: #1 I'm not cooking dinner. #2 Relax and have fun! Last Friday , after I left work I stopped by Target on the way home. It was pouring rain as I was shopping, so you know I had to wait out the rain and spend an hour and half in there! 😂lol! When I got home I practiced making projects on my new Circut! Then made tacos for Tyler and I and enjoyed watching One Tree Hill on Hulu! Saturday, we got up and drove to Anderson, IN to see a former youth student, now a dear friend. We had a great time catching up and went to the cutest coffee shop called, Jack Rabbit Coffee! Then we ventured over to a thrift store! That evening we celebrated our friend Chad's birthday at B dubs. My cousin and I were flying solo for dinner, without our husbands for the night, so we thought we would do something fun...crazy....spontaneous......

Happy New Year friends!! It is officially 2020, a new decade! Last week in our staff meeting, we reflected on how God has  really  showed up and came through for us in our lives the past 10 years. I was overwhelmed thinking about how much Jesus has changed my heart, my mind set, and my life from when I was 13 to now, 23. I was so amazed thinking about all the times God was protecting me from people and typical teenage things that I "missed out on" but I realize it was His hand on my life through it all. And I pray that is the same case for my future children someday. A fun thing my husband and our friends did last week was creating a 2020 bucket list together! We each individually wrote down realistic and fun things that we've always wanted to do and promised to complete them by the end of 2020!! Some of mine included: Designing my own Stoney Clover Lane bag in Palm Beach, FL Holding a baby cheetah Being more intentional with my HS youth students  Going...
