basically, my thoughts exactly.
time & place for them, but only if worn right. roll ‘em up, wear at the beach, and keep in your drawer for 98% of the rest of the year, unless you’re painting.

thoughts on men wearing cut-off jean shorts?
“She craved a presence beside her, solid. Fingertips light at the nape of her neck and a voice meeting hers in the dark. Someone who would wait with an umbrella to walk her home in the rain, and smile like sunshine when he saw her coming. Who would dance with her on her balcony, keep his promises and know her secrets, and make a tiny world wherever he was, with just her and his arms and his whisper and her trust.”

“You know how you let yourself think that everything will be all right if you can only get to a certain place or do a certain thing. But when you get there you find it’s not that simple.”

“Embracing trials means we aren’t to let our reactions to them be determined by how they first feel to us.”

“How do we distinguish between godly humility and low self-esteem? Which did Saul display? One key lies in our focus. A person with godly humility looks to the Master. He or she neither exalts nor denigrates self, because to do either is to make self the center of our universe. When we’re really serving Christ, our reputations and abilities simply cease to be so important. We must decrease that He may increase.…
We need to recognize that lack of confidence does not equal humility. In fact, genuinely humble people have enormous confidence because it rests in a great God.” —Beth Moore, A Heart Like His

“I find it very interesting that God wants us so much that He can bring us to Himself even when we think we’re going somewhere else. Never forget that the mundane can lead to the miraculous.”

“Two qualities I’ve come to admire most in both men and women are tenderness and strength. I no longer see them as exclusive terms. Quite the contrary; I’ve come to realize that one without the other leaves an individual lacking wholeness. I deeply desire to be a woman of tenderness and strength because my dearest role model possessed both.” — Beth Moore, A Heart Like His
“Some days I wake up with no appetite for God. Every day is a war for what we will love most. Don’t stop fighting. He’s worth it.”

i almost always shower at night. it allows extra time to sleep in and my hair always looks better after sleeping on it — not sure why? but yes, sleeping on wet hair is a favorite!
how do you like having naturally curry hair?
it’s a love/hate relationship.
i love it on the non-humid days, when it stays curly & doesn’t poof out! and on the days when i am in a rush…i get out of the shower, spray some holding gel, and i’m out the door.
thankful for naturally curly hair.
it makes it easy to shower, then go lay in bed and watch movies.
after a long past two days, consisting of pulling off a bridal shower at the house and then babysitting after the bridal shower. i was thankful for my two shots of espresso this afternoon and a nice family dinner. home, to relax and find a good movie on!
i hope you all had a great weekend & have a lovely week. -meg
