Saul and David

From "A Tale of Three Kings" by Gene Edwards

"King Saul sought to destroy David, but his only success was that he became the instrument of God to put to death the Saul who roamed about in the caverns of David's own soul. Yes, David was virtually destroyed in the process, but this had to be. Otherwise the Saul in him would have survived."


In the bible when they're talking about Saul and David, David never tried to pick up a spear and throw it back at Saul. Instead, he dogged each one. Its like in the bible when it says if someone "If someone slaps you on the right cheek, offer the other cheek also." (Matthew 5:39). Yes, it's easier sad then done but if we give attitude back or do the same thing, we will never learn and let that part of ourselves fade away. Instead it will continue to be with us and we will continue to have that attitude. God created us to be more then that. He made us to be like Him, not perfect but to be like Him and close to how he was.

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope y'all all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all of your loved ones! My thanksgiving was definitely nice and relaxing. I was able to spend it with my immediate family where we watched football, laid around and played apples to apples. :)

Woke up early to watch my best friend perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! So proud of her!

Decoration on our Thanksgiving table!

And of course my sweet baby kitty, I tried to put a pilgrims hat on her but she wasn't too happy about it.

I also went black friday shopping and bought a couple of things, some I can't show on here because they're gifts! Our first stop though was Target where I bought this dvd's for myself for Christmas! :)

"Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations." Psalm 100:4-5

Sunday Funday...New lip shades

Hello again, I know...shocking, another post so soon! But I HAVE to share with y'all my new lip products I bought! 
So recently I have been super into finding some new lip products because I'm getting tired of gloss. For some reason gloss is starting to remind me of high school and now I want something different! So I've decide to turn to lipstick and tinted Chapstick. 
I've heard tons of good things about Mary Kay and MAC so I finally decide to give them a try and I have to say, they're pretty amazing! 

The color for the Mary Kay Tinted Lip balm is Cherry Cerise. The color for MAC lipstick is Cremesheen 'Shanghai Spice'

I had tried on my cousins MAC lipstick and fell in love and went the next day to go buy it! When I put it on it looks very nude and natural but it gives my lips a little tint. It's perfect though because the tint is not drastic which I love for those relaxing days. I also love the Mary Kay balm because it gives my lips a tinted red color which is prefect for special occasions when I don't want to wear a bright red or a bright pink. Another plus is that it has spf 15!

A little sparkle on my wrist

Yesterday my cousin and I took a little trip to a small town about 30 minutes from where I live. She's never been to the little town so it was fun relaxing and getting to show her around it! It was definitely a nice quiet time away from all the commotion! They had so many precious cafes and boutiques and I seriously had to refrain from buying everything! I did buy one thing though which was this Turquoise sparkly cross bracelet. I have been seeing them all over Pinterest and was looking for one but they all seemed to be around $15 and I found this one for $9!  

This was one of the cute cafe's. I ate the most delicious 'Brookie' which is a cookie brownie! First time trying it and it was yummy!

After a long day of shopping and eating my cousin and I stopped to take a picture. :)

Loretta

Y'all are probably going to think I sound like the crazy cat lady...but I'm writing this post about my kitty! I don't think I ever shared with y'all how she came into our lives and I have been wanting to share with y'all the story for some time now. 
I was NEVER a cat person. I thought they were scary and not very nice so when I got Loretta all of my friends and family were in shock. 
My grandparents had a stray cat that would always be at there house and so they sorta took her in. They started to feed her and play with her then one day they didn't see her for a while. Then after her hiding she came out from under there house to eat and they saw a little kitty stumbling behind her. We just so happened to be visiting them so when I saw this kitty I was in love...and started to cry. She was covered in fleas and her eyes were covered in puss. I didn't know what was wrong with her so I immediately took her a bath, gave her flea medicine and then took her to the vet. They gave me some medicine and gave her the shots she needed and over time she started to recover. 
As cheesy as it sounds, she really did change my outlook on cats. I absolutely love them now!
[And little fun fact, she was born without her tail just like her mama!]
 We kept her in a little box with a heating pad under her so she would be warm.

 Precious baby, she had the biggest eyes.

We bought her this blue mouse that made noise, she LOVED it!

 This is when her all white coat started fading away.

And her now.

Random but I'm so excited for my new magazine & catalog!! Can't wait to see the new styles and share them with y'all!
