Life's Journey: A Message





Lately I have been so excited about all the wonderful things God is showing me and all the great things to come!

You ever get that feeling inside that you can conquer the world and all the thoughts and dreams that are going through your head are at arms reach? You can just touch it!!  That sums it up for me these last couple of months. For me it's a peace within and God's precious light surrounds that peace. That peace of walking in faith and the things to come within that walk.

I had a walk thru with one of my beautiful couples the other weekend, I was reminded of how much I love what I do.  After our walk thru I managed to stop at a thrift store in search for some unique pieces for an upcoming wedding. I ended up running into a sweet little old lady that had to be at least 90 years old, she was so sweet and wanted to talk; as she followed me from row to row, she wanted to talk about the goodness of God.  I was so happy, as I listened to her and looked into her beautiful blue eyes with joy in my heart. She was such an angel!  She mentioned the scripture Psalm 46 and I knew right then God sent this woman to me, so that I may be reminded of the word and particularly this scripture on my current journey.  As I gave her a big hug, I was reminded that God sometimes brings a complete stranger in your path to deliver a message and open your eyes to the unknown.

I told my husband I wish I would have snapped a photo of that sweet little old lady. Especially since I will never forget her loving spirit and kind words.

This is just a little piece of my recent journey and I look forward to sharing more with you soon.

Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.


4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolation's he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

One of those days......


I know this is coming a little later in the day... Do you ever have one of those day???  Well today has been one of those days that I truly have had to pick my self up. I have been feeling a little under the weather today(crazy allergies).. In the midst of feeling yucky I still had to get up and get things done. One of those days where the to do list just keeps growing, I must say even with my lack of energy and feeling like curling up in my bed and watching a few talk shows, it has been a very productive day. Thanks to a great Skype meeting this morning with my sweet friend Shalyn, go visit her blog at SO SHAY(you'll get sucked in) and after a few hugs from my baby boy and a mid day trip to one of my favorite boutiques to pick up goodies for tomorrows giveaway, the day ended up being wonderful even with my sneezing head. 

If you don't follow me over at Inspired Events and Designs on Facebook you should.. Tomorrow we are having a giveaway.

Instagram: A Look Back Into August

On this last day of August I am looking back and feeling truly blessed to be able to celebrate wonderful things in life with family and friends... Here's a few of my favorite instagram pics. I am looking forward to September and the cooler weather to come...

Embracing Life


Over the weekend as we celebrated my big boys 7th birthday,  I was reminded of how quickly time flies and how precious life is and the importance of embracing every moment, no matter what.  Just a little bit over a week ago the hubby and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary, my mom made 10 years as a breast cancer survivor a few weeks back and next week I will be a whopping 35 years old.  I have so much to be grateful for and I never want to take things for granted. God truly has a way of allowing us to take a look around and just breath in all the small things in life that bring us joy, and at the same time enjoy life in a big way..

Happy Funtabulous Monday!

I hope your Monday is surrounded by lots of fun Halloween goodies,instead of scary. I'm enjoying the day with my sweet little guy and getting ready for some family fun tonight.

Happy Halloween!
