About yellow.shoes. horses. a.free.concert. and .life. {among other things}

It's me!!
Got these cuties at a consignment shop in town. Too bad they're about 12 sizes too small.... :(
But..............

I found these chuck look-a-likes at a church sale on Sat.
They come from Rue21 but who cares?!? They're YELLOW!!!!!
I've wanted 'desert' sandles for quite awhile and I found these at the same sale.
Actually I paid $3 TOTAL for BOTH these AND the yellow shoes!!!!
OH HAPPY DAY!!!!! lol

The neighbors had a yard/garage sale last weekend. There was probably atleast 20 bananana boxes FULL of clothes(most about 20 years out of date.lol). But it was only $5 a garbage bag so in between me and mom we filled.it.UP!!!! (: Lots of scraps to make stuff with!
[The hat I'm wearing in the first picture comes from the bag!]

My pile of loot!

ANOTHER yard sale bargain!!!! Stinkin cheap too.(:
Ok. So this is the last bargain of the week I'll share with you: 1 more chair to add to my growing collection.
It was already painted white so all I had to do was sand it!
I'm thinking about painting it later. Maybe put a different seat on?? idk
I seem to have this thing for shoes, scarves, and chairs!!!!!
Me and Ashlyn walked a letter up to the post office and found this glass bottle on the way back. (:
Speaking of Coke.....it makes A.MAZING floats!
He loves opening the blinds in my room and looking outside.(:
So cute!! I love him!
Mom took me and Ashlyn to a FREE concert I heard about on the radio.(:
None other than Kari Jobe. This girl has an awesome voice!!!

This isn't the worst picture I've ever taken, but it would look better if my iced coffee would stick out better from the background.

So I tried another picture.......using the backside of a fabric cutting board!!!! (:
(It WAS delicious:) And it only took me about 1 1/2 minutes to make!!

For some reason that really inspired me, so I asked mom to get me a couple pieces of poster paper at the DollarTree while she was in town. Later that evening I took pictures of these radishes using one of those!!!
We have an over-abundance of radishes from our garden!!!
I picked a bouquet of these gorgeous wild flowers by the railroad tracks..


God is so good!
He has been teaching me SO.MUCH lately!!
It's a journal-keeping time. I don't want to forget what it was like to go through some of the most faith building weeks/months of our lives.
I was reading from my devotional the other morning and these quotes really stuck out to me-

"If all things are possible with God, then all things are possible to him who believes in Him."
-
"Jesus taught that the evidence that confirms our leaps of faith comes after we risk believing,
not before."

That is where we are as a family right now. In the before. Sometimes I just want to see the evidence RIGHT NOW! (you know how impaitient we are as human beings;) But I have to keep asking God for His will, His way, His TIME. Than it will ALL be for His glory!

An exerpt from my journal:
"...I need to remind myself that God never backs out on His promises because if He did that would make Him a liar and He's totally perfect and cannot lie."
God has promised that He will never leave us or forsake us. And if we delight in Him, come before Him in prayer, and delight in Him, He will give us our desires and needs.
