A Daily Christian Checklist.

~ Start each day with God. Spend time in God's Word.
"Either sin will keep you from this book, or this book will keep you from sin."

~Always include prayer. Pray for yourself, your day, your family members, your attitude, your friends, and your walk with God.

~Act like a child of God. This includes how you dress and talk. Also how you treat your family.

~Choose your friends carefully. In the word of George Washington, "It is better to be alone than in bad company."

~Do all things to the glory of God. This includes school work and activities.

~Keep a cool, clear head when it comes to dating. Don't be afraid to wait to date, to say no, to hold out for the right kind of person, and to involve your parents.

The Checklist above is from a book I have mentioned before called "A Young Woman's Guide to Making Right Choices by Elizabeth George."
This book has truly inspired me to honor God by making better choices in my clothes, friend..ects. I hope the Checklist helps you as much as it has me.

A Cup of Tea Please.

Hot, delicious, savory, sweet, amazing tea. I love you. in the morning and before bed. I love trying all different flavors of teas from white to black tea's, or sweet to savory! I just love tea! I would say tea is my coffee. The picture above is a delicious white tea I had this morning. Its very light in flavor and with a little Stevia, its a great refreshment for the morning. The Sweet Harvest Pumpkin black tea is my favorite holiday tea right now! It literally taste and smell like pumpkin pie, it reminds me a lot of a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. SO GOOD! Its Autumn in a cup! You have to try it!

Remember Thanksgiving.

I love Fall. The weather is just right, the skies are bright blue, and the leaves are all sorts of different colors! Thanksgiving is coming soon and I'm looking forward to it. I love the fact that its a day set aside to reflect on all the blessing we have in our lives! Sometimes its easy to forget all we have, especially when we get in the mind set that I won't be happy unless I have a new possession. These "things" will make you happy for a moment but they will eventually become old or out of style. We shouldn't look to material things to make us happy because they won't. We should be thankful for the things we already have. One thing we should be very thankful for is God's Word. His word is something we need to walk and live by everyday. Its a map to know what turns to take. The Bible sustains us, guides us, comforts us, strengthens us and so much more. Joy and peace is there, waiting for us right on our book shelf. One of my favorite ...

A New Year and New Adventures. Welcome 2018!

So what's your new year's resolution? I was asked this a few times during the last few days of 2017. I'm such a list maker that normally in the past, I would have given some great answers. Haha! This past year though, I've realized I may make a long list of things I want to accomplish or finish this new year but that list is susceptible to change. This year I want to surrender all those plans to God first. I've made a decision, which putting a decision into action can take some work, but anyway, I've decided to take 2018 one day at a time. So cliche you may think but let me tell you, for a girl like me who plans every minute, to every hour, to every day, month, year, 5 years, IT IS SO not easy for me. You know, you think I would learn by now from growing up as a preacher's daughter, having moved about five different times to different states, churches, friends, ect. that I would realize it's just not possible to expect everything to go according as ...
