Start Something New Sunday!

Well well well... if it isn't Sunday again already!
Like seriously...I'm pretty sure yesterday was Sunday too, wasn't it?
I don't know, maybe I just had way to much fun on my spring break ;)

On Monday my sister, mom and I all went out for a day of shopping and doctor's appointments and I'm SO happy to say my mom has been cancer free for 10 years now!! God is SO GOOD!

And for the next couple days I was lucky enough to pack up and go visit my best friend ever in the entire world! We had so much fun!

 We also got to go get our nails done and had a great time! The people who did our nails were so friendly and nice and that made it even better! There's just something so warm about nice people that makes your whole day better!

(I always forget to shave right before a pedicure!! Oopsie ;)

((I also felt like I should've been keeping up with a toddler those couple of days because I kept wearing cardigans and skinny jeans and flats and my sunglasses on top of my head.))

(((But don't worry I've still got at least 7 years for that)))

And now for SSNS....

While I was gone, Caroline and I had a super deep/weird/embarrassing conversation that was much needed about caring about other people's opinions way too much.

I find myself way way WAY too often seeking man's approval and choosing to do something that's wrong instead of seeking God's approval and doing what I know is right.

When Jesus was on this earth teaching and preaching and going about his business, he was offending TONS of people. But God was so pleased with him. It shouldn't matter who I offend or who thinks I'm weird or wrong, or whatever, it matters that these choices that I'm making right now, and every day are what's going to decide whether I get to heaven and they show who I'm representing. And I should be representing the Lord the best I can each and every day.

So my challenge for myself this week (and every week from now on) is to please God and God only.

If you had your spring break last week I hope it was wonderful and if it's this week or next week or whenever I hope it's wonderful then too :)
May the Lord bless you all throughout the week!!

Start Something New Sunday {Week 2}

Okay. Honesty time here.
I cheated on last weeks goal.
Like a lot.
Like a lot a lot.
I started out pretty good when we had healthy things in the house like cantelope and strawberries and watermelon and then someone went shopping and bought a bunch of chips and m&m's and there went everything.

Can you say F A I L?

So this week I'm going to try a completely different type of goal.
As you know, I'm home-schooled so I get to do my schoolwork at my own pace.
And I technically only have about 2 weeks left but next week is spring break and who in the world wants to do school work on spring break? Not. Me.
So I'm going to try to complete 2 weeks worth of schoolwork this week!

How did you do on your goal?
Good luck this week! :)

Start Something New Sunday {Week 1}

I am just on a roll with these new types of posts don't cha think? ;)
Even though this is only the second one! HA

This week I'm going to start a new type of installment here called "Start Something New Sunday." Obvi.
Every Sunday I (and you if you want to, too) will think of some sort of goal that I will try to accomplish throughout the week.
It can be anything. Literally anything. 

Like if you want to set a goal for yourself to tackle cleaning out your garage, or to stop drinking sweet tea for a whole week (trust me that will be on mine someday when I feel brave enough to conquer it), or if you want to make this the week that you start daily Bible reading!

This week my goal is going to be...belly roll please...!
TO SNACK HEALTHY.

Those greasy, yummy bbq chip are delish.
But let's face it, they're a heart attack waiting to happen.

So this week I'm going to start snaking on healthy things like almonds, trail mix, fruits, low calorie and low fat and low sugar ice creams (because we all need something actually good sometimes right? ;)

What is your goal going to be for this week?
Next week I'll give a follow up and I'll be expecting one from you too ;)

Have a wonderful week friends!

Love that verse <3
