Announced on your chest at thrift stores

 

 1.) When donating items remember if you thought it was tacky then don't donate the tackiness. (Obviously someone was preoccupied by this issue and wanted the world to know about it)

 

2) In case you thought tacky t-shirts were only in English you might be surprised to know it's internationally spread. This shirt reads beautiful. Good to know you have to announce it on your chest.






 3) A very goofy kid's Romanesc costume. This thing was odd! While one and two were obvious chest tragedies this costume implores the whole body.



Again I feel I have to stress the point that if it was weird enough for you to have to get rid of why try to pass it to a thrift store????

Big Faith Little Strength

This morning I was reading Jeremiah chapter one and something struck me. Jeremiah responsed with words of fear to the all mighty's words of  how he knew him being formed in his mother's womb  and how there was a plan for him. Jeremiah  answered  " I don't know anything I am only a boy." Oh how many times have I felt small in my current challenge. I  have felt weak in the midst of chaotic moments and God's whisper let alone his plan seems a distant fading memory. But there have been moments where I find the streams of refreshing in moments where the Lord sweeps down and whispers " I have a plan, I knew you before you were born." Purposefully he chooses the weak to confound the wise. He fights the battle and we have the choice to walk it out.
 In the story of Willow, he's the smallest not just in obvious stature but in his own thoughts equally uncertain. The day comes for what he was called for and the battle before him is larger than he knows what to do with. He encounters one who can yield the sword and fight where he can't, how much more with God who fights for us! I am so thankful He knows my frame and sends help.

Here and Now List

There are things that sometimes make the here and now a little easier until we go meet our our Maker. Today I have decided these things would be lovely if they were possible.
1.)Doughnuts: Particularly a chocolate cake one but in a pinch two crullers will do.

2.) A Starbuck's mocha: The smoothness in a well made cup sends me to a happy happy place.







3.) A full body hour and half deep tissue massage.

4.)Yard Saling: When you are on the hunt of lovely cheap and sometimes free treasures there is this incredible release of stress, of things looming as suddenly you are overcome with thoughts of how can I use this? Well of course I need to move my space around. Well this will look fantastic with a coat of fresh spray paint in a rad color.






Now #1 and #2 together would be simply amazing. I think there is nothing wrong with hot coffee on a hot day and the more sweltering the better as that is what my upbringing has shown me. :O)


Please feel free to add to the list.
