Friday Favorites

Well to be honest, it has been a very difficult last week, but of course there are still awesome things happening in life even through the hard times. Such as:

1. Friends with loving advice.

2. Chances to grow within a difficult situation. It sucks going through it but there can be a very positive outcome IF you allow it to happen that way.

3. Saturday - first date day with Chris is far too long!!

4. New discovery: amazingly good homemade (or... workmade) hazelnut iced coffee.

5. God's Spirit, which moves through our lives with an unfathomable, yet [seemingly] invisible beauty.

6. my cute new purse I got at Old Navy for $1.50.

7. New friendships. What a world.

8. New goals, new plans, new inspiration.

9. Ladies' night out - shopping, talking, laughing. Happy sigh.

10. Sitting around the table at 11:30p laughing it up with friends, knowing I get to sleep in tomorrow morning.


It seems, ladies and gentlemen, that the time I'm currently going through may be one of the hardest times I will ever go through in my life and it is a time I will not soon forget. It is so painful, yet when I imagine what could be learned and gained from it in the future, I almost feel honored or privileged the Lord has faced me with it now. I'm being rebuilt from the ground up. It hurts like hell and feels so burdensome, but once I've got a new form in this way it will be a masterpiece made by Him.

So cheers to the freaking weekend.
