lazy nights

I just love the weekend. It's a time to relax and recharge and I just can't get enough of it. Sometimes I am really busy with homework or plans to hang out with friends but I always make sure to just get some time to sit and do nothing. I love to spend at least a few hours just sitting on the couch watching tv or reading a book (not for school..), and lately I am usually in bed by like 11 or earlier haha. Lots of people call me an old woman, but hey..it's just what I need :)

Tonight I...:

{started off the evening with some jamba juice} :)

{had some homemade guacamole with some chips}

{ended off the night watching dreamgirls} (which I had never seen)

excited for summer

I should probably be paying more attention in class..but I can't. I am just too excited about the sunshine and can't stop thinking of how much I want it to be spring and summer. I am excited to get new clothes and bring out the old ones and wear those bright colors (I know I might be getting a little ahead of myself after all it's still only January).

Don't these just make you drool and get so excited to bring out those summer clothes? :)

tropical dream

The cold weather is really getting to me. and this sunshine tease is definitely not helping.

This is where I'd just love to get away :) I think it's time for a vacation.

cake time

I am currently obsessed with shows like Cake Boss on TLC and Cupcake Wars on the food network. I really want to be able to make pretty cakes like this.

S.E.R.V.E.

I realize it's been a while since I've written but hey sometimes life just happens. God has really been teaching me a lot of new things in the past few weeks of this new year. I have been participating in the k-love challenge and listening to only Christian music for 30 days. It's made a huge difference in my attitude- while I am doing homework, dealing with everyday pressures of life, and even in my attitude while I am driving [yes, I do have road rage..].

I've been asking God during this time that He will flood my thoughts with Him and that He will show me how I can be more of a godly woman. One of my new year's resolutions has been to read the whole Bible from beginning to end. I've done this before, but this time I really want God to show me more of His character and that in every chapter I can get something new from Him.

He is always so faithful. One morning as I was listening to k-love, they were talking about visions for the new year. They challenged those listening to come up with a one-word vision for the new year and to live life to achieve that vision. This seemed like SUCH a great idea to me! I immediately knew what God wants me to do for this new year. SERVE. In 2011 I want to grow more in the area of service- serving the Lord wholeheartedly while learning more about who He is, serving others above myself, and becoming a woman who can serve and love no matter what. So far this has been a wonderful challenge and a great adventure. I am excited to see what this wonderful year will bring!

What kind of visions or resolutions have you made? :)
