It's OK and Challenge Days 20 & 21

It's OK...

...to take a break from blogging (sometimes it just happens)

...to feel bad about being gone and not sharing my challenge post

...to get a new phone

...and it NOT be an iPhone HA

{side story: ok so I had to get a new phone bc my other one busted and the glass was coming off, it was getting REALLY hot thus making it turn itself off...after warning me it was getting too hot..like the feel of it wasnt enough ha.  ANYWAYS I had been wanting a new iPhone (and only because everything else I have like my computer and iPad/iPod etc are also apple product) but my carrier does't carry them. I had thought of switching but we still had a few months left in our contract.  So when my phone broke I really didn't have much choice.  The hubby just broke his too HA

BUT I am fine with who we have now anyways.  AND I LOVE my new phone still.

The battery life is AMAZING!!  I got the razr Maxx and let me tell y'all last night it had been like 30 hours since I had charged it and I still had like 27% battery life.  

I guess it doesn't take much to excite me but in my opinion this is worth sharing ha}

...to have a pink camouflage  case for your phone

...to fall in love with all the cases I shared last night

{I ended up sticking with the my original choice of the 2nd chevron design}

...the two cases are completely opposites...I LOVE THEM BOTH ha

{I am just a girl who loves a variety of things =)}

...to be  head over heels in love with your hubby

...to be proud of your hubby

...to wish I was able to be his fishing partner more

...to have a birthday "wish list"

...I am in denial I turn 30 next week

...my hubby has a tournament on my birthday 

{How awesome would that be if he won on my birthday....I would totally be ok with that!!}

...I just realized the warranty on my sunglasses expired like TWO days ago and they are broke =(

...to share more than one day in a challenge in one post

{day 20: inspiring}

{day 21: forgiveness}

via

I am so thankful I am forgiven!!  How amazing is it to just think about all our sins being forgiven!!

On the other hand I have to remind myself to forgive others as Christ forgives me.

This is not always easy....but then again it only make me realize that much more how great our God is , that He can so easily forgive me for my sins.

It's OK

Hey Y'all,  It's OKAY........
...That I have been MIA for a few day
...BUT today this is my second post
...it has NOT been my favorite week
...College is SO TOO expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...I still have NOT ordered my books for my class that starts Tuesday {and which I also have homework and a Test scheduled and due my first night of class ALREADY..yes already and it hasn't even started...
...I have been "writing" some "great" post in my head at like 2:30 AM each night/morning this week when I am laying in bed half asleep
...I can NEVER really remember those "great" ideas when I get out of the bed
...The Scripture/Faith Challenge has been SUCH a Blessing
...I am having "pre-birthday anxiety" I am not ready to turn 30
...I hate I still struggle SO much with self image.  Why can't I just get over it or accept myself already. God loves me just as I am..why can't I?
...I wish I had a maid {or at least a dishwasher}
...I cannot write worth a hoot...period...Just wanted everyone to know I am fully aware.. still I continue to write
...I love how this post allows me to get things off my mind

It's OK & I am Thankful

...That I am getting my post up so late in the day this week ...I am really hoping praying it snows tonight, and the more the merrier ...I have not felt so great this week  ...I have took a nap twice this week ...I did not fix my hair any yesterday or today.  I just washed it and let it do its own thing. (trust me it does not look ok! HA) ...I do not like my hair at all ...I need to go to the grocery store BUT around here when the weather man mentions the word "snow" people go crazy at the grocery store so I have not gone...I do not want to get in that mess ...it always seems I need to go to the store at the worst time....like on holidays or when everyone is there to get their bread and milk (if you are in the south you know what I am talking about) ...I am working on a challenge to share with y'all and I am getting pretty excited :) and maybe a lil nervous ...I talk to God pretty much ALL day...He is the Best!! ...I am doing two link up post in one post {does that even make sense} Today I am Thankful.... ...For my Momma, without her I am not sure what I would do.  She does so much for me.  Thanks Mom ...I got to get a nap in this week (2 of them) and Kelly took care of the kids while I was napping during the nap they were home so I was able to get the nap.{can you say run-on sentence...sorry} ...although the hubby has not been able to work any this week (another reason I am praying for snow) I have enjoyed having him home more :) ...Good friends!!!  I have one of the best friends you could ask for.  She is my chosen sister :) I can always count on her to be there for me and I know I can vent or tell her anything.  She is the sweetest person and beautiful inside and out.  She is such an inspiration.  Thank you for everything too!! ...My blogging friends.  Never in a million years would I of ever thought I would of made such great friends through blogging.  But I have made some really good friends and I am thankful for our grwoing friendships and our daily conversations :) ...the Bible...what is there not to be thankful for.  I love how a simple scripture can give such peace  ...and MOSTLY today and Always GOD...He is the BEST!!!!   Before I go, did you see the picture of me in my cap and gown on my graduation day (long time ago)? ...Megan voted me as most likely to bring you encouragement :)  Thank you Megan this made my day!! ... Also thank you Kristyn for featuring me today on your blog :)

It's OK...

... that I have my days of the week so messed up this week

...I am still tired form staying up ALL night Sunday night and pretty much all day Monday

...I am a little behind on my emails, so if you haven't got a reply from me or waiting on an email....I am so sorry.  Please forgive me and I am working on getting all caught up.

...it is a hat wearing kind of day 

...I am overly sensitive

...I am trying really hard NOT to worry so much about Everything

...I can never get caught up on house work...no matter what I do 

...I still don't like the dark (where is my nightlight,ha)

...I always feel safe though when I am with my hubby 

...I am pretty sure I am addicted to the hot chocolate I shared the other day

...I am also pretty sure it is not the best addiction to have when I am trying to lose weight...but hey, it could be much worse, right?!

...I can't really think of anything to say today

...I will think of plenty of things tonight when I am trying to sleep 

I hope each and every one of you have a blessed day. And don't forget you have less than a day to enter the giveaways.  Have you entered already?  YAY and if not..."It's OK" ...you still have a little time left, but don't wait and miss out ;)
