Coffee & Words: In The Waiting

Do you ever feel like your life is constantly going a 100 mph and you don't feel accomplished at that high speed, and find yourself wanting more.  NEVER CONTENT

I use to feel that way until a couple of years ago when I was reminded to stop and listen.  Listen for the rest that was needed, the quiet that was non existent, the rhythm of slow that I wasn't familiar with, the lack of self knowing that needed to be birthed within, that peace that was anxiously awaiting, the God that wanted me to seek him more. 

We have to learn that there is a process in the waiting and patience is a virtue.  When God directs us and gives us discernment in our calling, we have to wait on HIS instructions.  In our waiting we have to pray, be present and rest in him daily.   

The waiting process is not always easy, because the feeling of control and over thinking can cause doubt to creep in. We have to constantly be reminded that in the waiting comes God's instructions and guidance, when he leads the way, everything is orchestrated so perfectly and peacefully.  

Trust the process, trust what God has placed in your heart, trust all that he promises you in his word, and wait on his timing.

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.

Fall Around My Home

Hello Fall!

I love the fall season!!  For me when the season changes, it's like a fresh new start. Changing things up in my wardrobe, setting new goals, adding new colors, de-cluttering and  rearranging my home make for a new beginning.

One of my favorites this time of year is adding a little touch of fall around my home.. Not necessarily going over board with it, but just enough to bring the changing of the leaves and crisp air into my home with pumpkins, a little foliage off the trees, candles, even changing up the pillows, to just warming things up a little..  

Here's a few snippets of the simple ways I add a little fall to my home.. 

Adding a little color to your front porch is always a great way to bring the season to your home. Grabbing a few Mums from Home Depot and paring them them simple orange pumpkins and a nice wreath. So simple and doesn't break the back. 

Tossing pumpkins all around your home is another easy way to bring in pops of color and add a festive touch.  I love getting my pumpkins from Trader Joes.. 

You can't go wrong with candles that have that crisp fall smell.. Th Harmony candles are some of my favorites and I love the name.. "Cozy Sweater"

Also, Coffee on any fall morning, brings out the warm and cozy feel.. 

Weekend Coffee Table

Some weekends just need a sweet start, with a simple coffee table update and of course lots of coffee... 

Have a great one lovelies! 

Front Porch Gathering

A couple of weekends ago I was honored to attend  the

Gather Together Coffee Roasters

, front porch gathering.  This event was for a 

special kick starter reward they will be offering. This Gathering Box will be full of fabulous goodies for the perfect Front Porch gathering. 

The Gathering Box will include the following, a 12 oz bag of coffee, 4 recipe cards, grocery list, party check list, 22 conversation cards, custom food labels for your gathering, 12 mini coffee scrubs. You will have the option to add in more coffee scrubs as well as cookies in your package.

It was truly a pleasure to be a small part of the Gathering Box and creating conversation cards for the lovely gatherings that will be taking place around this yummy coffee.

This coffee scrub smells heavenly! What the perfect little yummy detail added to the gathering box.   These were made in Hutto by 

Willow Bend Natural Skincare

.

The lovely Jessica Monnich is the creative and beautiful mind behind

. She organized and planned this event, and it was amazing. This gathering is totally doable and would be such a blessing to do with your women's ministry, small group, neighborhood women. 

I'm so excited to plan my next gathering over this fun Gathering Box. Go take a peek at this amazing faith based coffee business and sign up for all the wonderful things to come. The coffee is yummy!!! 

Target Bar Cart: Turned Coffee Bar

                                                                 Happy Monday Lovelies!!

 I seriously can't live without my coffee and the convenience of having a cart set up in my office makes working from home that much more fun, especially on a Monday! These last couple of months I have missed having my little office space, and that is one room that's at the top of my list when we move into the new house. Until then I will continue to reminisce on my favorite little corner of my office that was dedicated to coffee breaks.
