Heart



Borrowed from Bob Hostetler's Prayer Blog 
Lord, "I will run in the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart" (Psalm 119:32, KJV).

Oh, enlarge my heart, please.
Increase my capacity for you.
Flood every spiritual valve and ventricle,
every corner and cubbyhole of my heart and spirit
with your gracious presence and sovereign control.
I need you, I want you, I will not let you go
until you bless me with more, more, more of yourself.

Let me be satisfied in you today, as with the richest of foods, in Jesus' name, amen.

My first show!

Tonight is my first Stella & Dot show, I'm so excited and a wee bit nervous. I went over to a friends last night and her mom and aunt were there, and we did a test run...thank God. There were so many kinks I needed to work out before tonight. I am so grateful! And then they made a very large purchase and I made my first commission!!! Hooray!
Here's a look at my first set up...it will prob. be a little diff...this is at my house, Banjo was looking at it from all angles.
It may not look like a massive show, but it takes time, people. I gotta work my way up. I LOVE wearing this stuff!! I get to wear it all the time. Today I'm wearing that massive stone on a long chain, which I call my Mr. T necklace, it's a huge statement piece.

Any who, wish me luck and Big Bucks!

October Garden Club

Mom is having my grandmothers garden club over tomorrow and I went over there tonight to show her my shipment of Stella & Dot jewelry (more on that later!) here are some pics of the unbelievable arrangements created for this luncheon.






How fun is this stuff? Is it my age that this kind of thing really excites me now?

Sales Consultant?

I'm contemplating becoming a Stella & Dot Stylist. I love the jewelry, have been to parties, am definitely hosting one in January, but I really think I could sell the stuff and get free jewels and mula! I got plenty of friends in all different groups around Birmingham that I could call on to have parties, and its something I actually like! Look at this gorgeousness...

The biggest thing is that its really pretty in person, pics don't even do it justice. I love it.

Is it hard? Is it for me? I have a full time job and am exhausted most of the time...?

Disappointment

It happens! Moving on!

Wake On Up From Your Slumber

I highly recommend Need to Breathe's new CD "The Reckoning"

It is fabulous and so meaningful. I'm constantly in a situation at work with other personalities all around me and for some reason or another someone is always angry about something so this verse from "The Slumber" below is such a good reminder.

"Tongues are violent, personal and focused,
tough to be with your steady mind,
hearts are stronger after broken.
Wake on up from your slumber, baby open up your eyes."

I also love the chorus, it is such a reminder that you can muddle through life living for the weekends, or try to live in the present appreciating every second and doing what you can every day to glorify God. It is so hard to balance it all, but we just keep trying!
