Life's Plans and Then Real Life

I am a dreamer. Always have been always will. The funny thing about dreams is that there are dreams that come true, and for some reason there are dreams that don't ( Good thing at times huh?). The verses from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NIV)

" There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."


The other funny thing about dreams is what they can do to your mind! I am going to proceed to show you what i mean. I love Pinterest! The thing about Pinterest is that being on there triggers alot of my day dreaming.. here's why my friends:



Dear Future Husband,
I pretty much have our entire lives planned out on Pinterest. I hope you agree... Love, Me.







Dear Future Husband,
So I think that when you and I meet, it'll be pretty awesome. I mean I'm awesome and that means you are too... So here's our wedding for you...



I think this guy was smart to hire a photographer....I would "never know" ;) this is THE perfect proposal!!




The point in showing you this is that well I will be having Starbucks on my wedding day, and thought you should know...





I am a traditional girl of some sort, and no I don't think I'll let you see me in my dress before the ceremony, but i like cute pictures you see, and well I think this is a good idea, a moment we can share and keeping with tradition. Smart huh??




I shouldn't need to describe this picture.... I think you know where I am going with this... i hope your moved.... Of course we are traditional.




This my dear future husband will be the end result of our big day!! Love, Me.



Dear Future Husband,
So i looked at home decor today and I got a great idea!! I'd like to show you my "big" plans for our house!!!



This is our entry. Enough said.




Cute idea huh??? Our stairs shall become my other DIY project... I just might get you involved...




This is my dream kitchen!!!!!




What can I say, i love bonfires and i would like to have a bonfire and be classy at the same time!!!




This is where I shall hide!!!

I hope you like our house future hubby, because i do! Love, me.



The problem with these "set ideas, is that well reality, my house will probably never be on the cover of Good Housekeeping. If your anything like me, remember that God has His plans for you and that they will happen within His timing, not yours!! This is a lesson that we are taught everyday! Enjoy your dreams, some just might come true. Live life everyday for God my friends, and wait for His timing, because the plans He has for you, are so much better then the plans you plan yourself!

I hope you were encouraged!

Exodus 19:5-6 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant,then out of all the nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.


Can you just imagine the King of the universe, coming down to earth to die for the sinners He wants to call His treasures?? Last night i was hoping to spend some time in the Word, but as I was glancing through book titles for a study guide, my gaze fell to one book title. A Place of Quiet Rest by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. Now as i saw this book, a sudden thought hit me, I want a more intimate quiet time with my Savior. not just a few minuets out of my day but something more! Something that would change the way I view my quiet time. Treasuring every second with the Lord as I can, soaking up every Word that is in the Bible. It's a privilege to spend time with Him! When I saw this book, and read the back I realized this was an area that needed refining and this book seems to be the guide I need to help me get started!


It would make sense to want to spend time with the Lord because HE moved the barrier that kept us separated from Him! He treasures me and I should treasure the quiet times we share together!!

Hello Fall

So fall has officially made it's presence known. I love fall,all the colors and pumpkins, warm boots and cute sweaters. There is one thing about fall i am not a fan of< the cold. Wouldn't it be fun if we could keep the warm weather that we had and the lovely colored leaves?? I wouldn't be hurt if the high 70's stayed for alittle while longer!

Well I went and did it, I blinked and October is here! This year has just flown by! On the first of October I got to do a lovely wedding! Great start to a new month!

Now I have a complaint.. I think that it's a legit complaint, that I should put for the whole world to hear! WHY DO WEDDING GOWN MODELS HUNCH OVER???? It is so hard to get people to try on gowns because they can't get the model out of their heads. They see it, and think Ewwww I don't want to wear that! Then they try it and see that oh wow this dress is actually stunning.... hmmmmm. It is the truth hunched over models do not do dresses justice. I could go on and on about this topic, but I don't that is wise......

Moving on.....

I finished reading the book of Ruth the other day. I am always amazed by this woman in the Bible. She left everything behind to start a new life in a strange land with her mother in law. Then she was blessed with a husband, and some very very famous grandkids!

Sadly friends this is all I have time to blog today. I hope to have one long blog post soon! So make sure your coffee mugs are ready!
