Kickin' the Habit

So, after careful consideration, I have decided to give up soft drinks. Even diet drinks are no good for you so I am saying good-bye fuzzy carbonated friends, and hello to more and more water. There really isn't a specific reason why I have decided this, other than on my road to becoming a healthy individual, sodas are a roadblock!

I'll keep you posted...its only day 1, so I haven't had any of those awful withdrawal headaches. We'll see what happens when those set in!

Shoes

So I just recently got this new pair of shoes that are so so so cute. And really that's about what they are good for...being cute. If you really know me, you know that I love leopard/animal prints and have since middle school...I just adore it and it NEVER goes out of style.

I think that shoes are an essential part of any outfit. Shoes and accessories that is. You can change the look of an entire outfit based on how you accessorize. Again, if you know me then you know I have more jewelry than is at all necessary and that I always think I need more! I got so many compliments yesterday on my outfit...a simple black dress I've worn a million times, and chunky red jewelry I wear at least once a week...but the shoes made all the difference.

Everyone needs a pair of fun and whimsical shoes...if you don't have any, get some. They'll put some spring in your step and people will notice! Leopard and red are always good choices. I would also recommend the following...

My Husband is an Addict

Ok, so no he's NOT addicted to anything bad. Unless of course you think that Harry Potter is bad...which I do not. I actually love the Harry Potter series. Forever and ever, Michael has given me a hard time about loving these books. But they are just SO GREAT! I can't recommend them enough. Michael has just recently gotten to the point where he is enjoying reading each night, so I convinced him to try Harry Potter. Well, he did, and he's hooked. He has read books 1-4 in about 4 weeks. And book 4 in LONG!
So for all the times he's made fun of us Harry Potter lovers, I had to broadcast that my hubby is now on the band wagon!

Here is my ode to Michael and Harry Potter

God Moves Mountains: Rollin' Revelations

So my revelation this week was really cool....
I was driving to work (which has been really tough lately) and on KSBJ, they shared a story of a woman who was having a really tough season in her life and on her way home was praying and just said, God I need a hug. When she got out of her car, her son came up to her and said Mom I just have to give you a hug, and she knew that God had answered her prayer.
Well I was sitting in really bad traffic trying to make it to work...I had been late that past two mornings due to unexpected traffic issues. I turned the radio down and just desperately prayed...God, you know that work is hard for me and I know you are taking care of it, but this morning, could you please just get me there? Just get me there...While I was praying a missed a turn that I needed to take. When I finally got back on course, I looked down the street I should have already been on and it was backed up as far as I could see! If I hadn't missed my turn, I would have been extremely late that morning. Instead I actually got to work 10 minutes early! A song came on the radio and there is a line that says "I stand in awe of every mountain that you move." That morning, my mountain was traffic. And God was so faithful to me in taking care of it for me.
I actually wrote an e-mail to the KSBJ DJs when I got to work and shared my story and they shared my e-mail on the air!
Application Thought: We all have mountains to over come in our lives at one time or another. Traffic, hard jobs, trouble in your marriage, money issues...there is no denying that we have mountains to climb. Remember the scripture that says that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. God is in tuned with your every need. Even when your faith seems like its run out (believe me I've been there), God hears your prayers and is working things out. Cry out to Jesus when you have mountains to climb. Even when your strength has run out, he will carry you.
Psalm 116:1--
"I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy."
