It's Friday, I'm in love!


IT'S FRIDAY ALREADY! this week felt like it flew by! (is it just me?) & I am so glad it did, it was an EXTREMELY stressful week.

annnnnd it's that time again...... you know ;) HIGH 5 for FRIDAY! I stole this cute idea from The Masseys Blog but I think she got it originally from Lauren over at From My Grey Desk! Go link up and tell everyone what your top 5 things of the week are! :) Yes... GO!

Anywhoo... without further ado, here are my top 5.

1. I have a little bit of an obsession with Michael Kors - watches! Okay, lets be honest - with everything MK. I own three MK watches (silver, cream&gold ceramic tones, & a gold) I love wearing them everywhere! I am craving a black or a brown one.
Here are some that are on my wish list:





 Okay, sorry thats enough, the ring was just added for some flavor, and lets be honest I've been eyeing it too!

2. Zumba class this week at 24 Hour Fitness in the VR was on FIRE! ;) I think it is my favorite work out besides, Nike Training Club and Boxing Boot Camp. Jason Wallace teaches at the VR location on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30pm and Saturdays from 11:30-12:30pm if you have not tried it, it is a MUST! He also has his own studio too if you don't have a 24 HR membership - but you could always come as a guest! I was having a rough week but I went to this class and I got a lot of stress & tension out!

3. This verse was a must read for me this week and the Lord knew it too. It's been rough going back to school with a full time job. I salute the people that do it that have children or a husband or are single parents, or just a full time job, etc. I don't know how y'all do it! I am ALWAYS exhausted and don't have time for anything.... so this verse is challenging but it definitely is so true & I got it off of SheReadsTruth



 4. My favorite season is Autumn otherwise known as fall but I think the word Autumn flows prettier off the tongue - (okay, sometimes I go back in forth between autumn/winter/summer/spring - I just like all of them but for different lengths of time, forgive me) BUT right now Autumn is my favorite. SO with that being said, I canNOT wait for the fashion, coats, jackets, boots, etc. I'm already dreaming of my fantasy wardrobe. Here is a little peek of my fantasy Autumn wardrobe:

MK trench coat - to die!
                                                  


Oversized sweaters with leggings/booties,
yes please! & the hats!! ohhh, keep 'em coming! ;)

 
  
 
  
   
 

You guessed it more MK, I absolutely love his handbags - ha I would have all MK in my closet if I could! I really like Marc Jacobs as well! ;)

5. Count down until AP2 is finished - ONLY TWO more weeks until my class is over. I will be having some good sleeps after that! & hopefully sneak in a little socializing before my next class begins! Can you tell I'm a bit excited? Also, I will hopefully get to organizing/decorating my apartment!!!!

 
Hope you all enjoy your weekend. I do not have anything planned other than studying, studying, maybe a Zumba workout, more Studying and did I mention Studying?!

If you have any prayer requests, shoot me an email or comment and I will def write it down and send it up! ;)

XOXO,

HUMP DAY

Well the week is almost half over, except, I'm thinking to myself "it's only Wednesday"...

On the school front,

We began module II (which is chapters for exam II) over the Heart, Blood Vessels and Lymphatic systems. So far, it has been very overwhelming - man, the Lord's an intricate guy. Every single thing in your body has a name, arteries, veins, my goodness. I knew, but I didn't know.

In other news,

I am on Day 3 of Soul Detox  Jeremiah 12:1-4, but I like to read the whole chapter to get perspective, sometimes the one before and after.

What I took away from this chapter: many people, myself included say they are "Christians" but don't always live according to the way the Bible says we should. We speak about God and talk about the great things He has done for us, or how He saved someone and with the same mouth - out comes a curse word or we gossip about somebody we don't even know, I think this could be a version what
"...You are ever on their lips, but far from their conscience" (Jeremiah 12:2) 
is saying, it could also mean people that are not saved and are not believers yet have knowledge of God but are not convicted to turn from their "worldly ways". I also think of it in this way, about a year ago I was on a horrible path, angry for a lot of reasons that I won't get into - thank you Lord for forgiveness and didn't want anything to do with the church, God, or any "Christian" friends. I was into drinking a lot, all the time and just didn't care about the consequences, yet I would still talk about God like I wasn't doing anything wrong to my "Christian" friends. I think that is definitely a version of this verse. The Lord has been working in my heart for a while and I want to be genuine, I want to be real, so that's why I thought I would share a little piece of my struggles I have been through. Now, just because I went through that year abandoning God, because that's exactly what I did, that is the greatest thing about Him - He will NEVER abandon me and will ALWAYS love me (and you, yes you!) & PRAISE Him that it doesn't mean I am no longer a child of God or a "Christian". Beyond thankful for Him that he accepts me as I am, my sinful, screw-up self and that I can come into His presence without fear of rejection. #shereadstruth

I will get off the soap box, or just my rambling mode now! 

ZUMBA tonight ;) it's one of my FAVORITE workouts! If you have yet to try it, get your butt to a class! You will not regret it, unless you don't like to dance, then fine be a party pooper.

Also, this weekend on Sunday is one of my very good friends birthdays - I hope to share in her celebration this weekend, only if I study a lot prior! #crossingmyfingers #igotthis

XOXO,
