Five Fav's

I have 4. 4 blogs I read religiously .

These 4 have supported me since the beginning, and I am blessed to be able to call all of them friends.

If you love it here, you will love these beautiful ladies.

Ramsay Grace

I know I've featured Trinity before, but she deserves another mention.

Reasons you should visit her: Read her blog and you know she has a sweet soul, get to actually know her and you realise just how sweet that soul is. She will make you roar with laughter at all the things her family gets up too. I've always thought ready Ramsay Grace was like reading your best friends diary (I wouldn't) without all the juicy bits.

NB: I went to look for links, and ended up reading for 20 minutes. This will happen to you too!

Satisfaction Through Christ

Christie is one of the bloggers who really helped me when I was finding my feet in faith again. Her whole family (including the new addition) has such a heart for the Lord, it is inspiring.

Reasons you should visit her: Their adoption stories are just the most wonderful things; I loved being apart of bringing their new baby girl home. There is always a giveaway or two going on. She also happens to have the kindest heart.

Vanisha's Life In Australia 

Out of all these Ladies I've actually known Vanisha the longest. We actually did a little project together a while back. She is constantly inspiring me to get out there, discover the world, not to let those little fears hold me back.

Reasons you should visit her: The relationship between her and her husband, Patrick, is just completely magical. She has a uncanny sense of style that I wish I could steal off her. She writes in such a eloquent way that you just want to carry on reading, and reading. Oh, and she takes the most beautiful pictures.

Eat Yourself Skinny

Now you probably know Kelly and if you don't, where have you been?

Reasons you should visit her: THAT smile. How could you not want to be besties with her? She eats healthily, but also enjoys life. Using her recipes doesn't make you feel like your on a diet. Her recipes. That's it. If you go to her site for nothing else, go for the recipes. Not only that, but she's a Tone It Up sister as well. 

As for a fifth blog; I don't have one.

I'm on the lookout to discover new blogs.

Comment with your link below, and I'll come and say Hi.

'You're Done'

I don't recall very many of my early childhood memories. They all seem to have merged into a big fuzzy ball I can't seem to work out.

I do remember this story vividly though. It is something my Grandma told my Mother, my Mother told me, and I will tell my children. It is simple, but beautiful, and something that has and will always stay with me.

The little impression we all have above our top lip, is where God touched us and said 'you're done'. 

Ever since I heard this story I can't help but smile every time I see the impression in the mirror.

Tell me a story from your childhood.

A picture of contentment

This is my favourite picture of me. It also happens to be the most recent picture of me; taken 3 days ago in fact.

I have no make-up on, no fancy clothes, my hair is simply pulled back, and it is taken on a phone. Still is it my favourite picture.

I look into this girls face and I simply see contentment. Sure I look into her eyes and I see a lot of things she wish she could change, but she also knows that it takes time.

I could have picked a photo from my Uni days, when all my friends were close by, and all I had to worry about was getting an essay in. I've changed since Uni though, in a good way. I've grown up, and despite my flaws, and my current situation; I love the woman I am today.

What do you see when you look at recent pictures of you?

Its not such a bad 'lot'

Source

Something difficult about my 'lot' in life, and how I'm overcoming it.

I am not looking forward to writing this one.

I woke up positive today for the first time in a long time. I want to keep it that way for the rest of the day.

I try not to think about my 'lot'. Well, I think about it, everyone does, but I try not to dwell on it.

We all get told; 'there is always someone in a worse situation than you'. We are selfish though, and time, and time again we don't take heed of this simple advice. 

Today I'm taking heed.

There are a lot of things that bother me about my 'lot'. I really could bore you to insanity with them, but I'm not going to.

I am so blessed to be loved by so many people.

I have faith that God has something amazing planned. He is testing me right now, but only because he knows it will shape me into the person I am supposed to be. Prepare me for the great plans he has. Katlyn put in perfectly in her post.

So I am not going to vent, rant, cry, and get angry. I am going to be thankful for what I have and pray for those who are in worse situations. 

Carrying on with the positive flow right now I have the pleasure of introducing you to Stacey from Glued To My Crafts.
